cors1wfe - April 28

Ok ladies time for another confessional as some of us are in the final stretch and have 10 weeks or less to go....I'll start - 2 weeks ago I took a very HOT bath......after I had a SMALL glass of wine after a garage sale to soothe my aching musles...I went out for sushi and not everything was cooked but most of it was .......I haven't been drinking the water I am supposed as a result of that and stress I ended up at L&D for preterm labor which they stopped and since have been drinking more water ......I don't exercise or watch what I eat too much.....I eat fast food every chance I get (which isn't all that often lately) I sleep every which way - oh and I took my carpet cleaner from upstairs to downstairs got chewed out by my dh but I couldn't wait all day for him to help me for crying out loud.......if it's my side fine if it's not fine what else ....I haven't really done anything that bad but girls if you have feel free to share without judgement! This will most likely be our last confessional before out little ones arrive.....and I stopped taking my prenatals religiously about 2 months ago if I remember great if I don't oh well...LOL but baby is great and is actually measuring one week ahead so my Doctor changed my due date to 6/25 from 7/2 ---SO if you have been feeling guilty about something -post it then forget it! We are in the home stretch now....and getting more brave

I hate happy pregnant women I have a few friends who are pregnant and they complain about hiccups! I WANNA SMACK ALL OF EM! I am in the hospital every other day and feel like Im dying and you want to complain about hiccups???? wtf Well alrighty I think thats about it for now :)

Confessional... wow... yes I have a few confessions to make. I scooped my cat litter and didn't wash my hands afterward (my cat is solely indoors though and has never come in contact with other cats or dead animals) I eat sushi (in fact Im craving it now) and uncooked lunch meats, I lift heavy things I shouldn't like my desk that I randomly decided I didn't like where it was so i lifted it onto my bed and rolled it top over bottom to the other side of the room. I also eat as much fast food as I can... the greasier the better it sounds. I drink a ton of chocolate milk, and not even close to as much water as I should (which probably accounts for half of my edema problem) I sleep on my back and sometimes as much on my belly as I can (hell, if it helps me sleep I don't give a flying b___t hair if its good or bad for me... it can't hurt the baby) and I must confess that in the past 2 weeks since I can no longer drive I am taking advantage if my mom, my aunt and my dh as much as possible to do every little errand I need done. :) WHEEEEWW that feels better!!

I've been given the thumbs up to go into labor but because I'm not 37 weeks I'm still getting paid disability from work. I can run around doing whatever I want now that I'm off bedrest but they won't sign me as ok to go back to work LOL

Hmm ok I wanna play - I dye my hair - ALOT but more so because I seem to have a major increase in white hair since I became pregnant and they grow out or the dye wont stick so every 3 or 4 weeks there they are again! I never drink water ..thats just not going to happen I do however drink Ice tea I make with water so to me its even ..I drink juices too so I guess thats my compromise. I eat junk food every day sometimes more junk then actual healthy foods. Sometimes instead of full showering I resort to washing just my lower half of my body because it is so frustrating to not reach my feet so I just sit on the tub and wash everything below the belt. I also am KNOWN for doing everything as far as heavy lifting,painting,mowing the lawn,carrying stuff etc I'm single so I have no choice. I secretly wish the father of my child would leave me alone (selfish I know but I have no patience for him) ...Im moody ...really moody so I take it out on the close people to me - I avoid most phone calls cause I just dont want to talk to anyone I rather text or email otherwise I cant be bothered. O and lately I been on a bug spray mission so I have been spraying my house with bug spray and scrubbing with bleach I dont know if that is bad for you but I am sure it is as everything seems to be bad for me lately. I try not to get carried away with these things but If i dont do them no one will so .. I man up and get it done. phew Ok I think Im finished lol

 

junebaby - April 28

Sprinkles Im with you on the moody thing and not wanting to talk to anyone I avoid all phone calls b/c I just dont have the energy to talk I like talking on here-but this is different to me-and I actually left my b/f when I was 5 months b/c of my moodiness-so I am staying with my mom until I have the baby-I feel bad but we fought too much mostly b/c of my moodiness I actually enjoy the time away from him honestly-but talk to him on the phone 4 or 5 times a day.

Umm...I don't eat as healthy as I should, and probably not as often as I should. I eat a lot of sweets...but have only gained 3 lbs in my whole pregnancy...its wierd because its not like Im not growing. I eat uncooked lunch meat, drink way to much caffine, Lift heavy stuff even though I know I shouldn't, I sleep on my back even though they say its bad but sometimes its the only way I can get to sleep...lol. Oh and i definatly don't drink enough water...I should really drink more so I don't get dehydrated anymore...

 

Sprinkles - April 29

lol junebaby that is how I think - Its different to talk on here but when my phone rings I just look at it and hit 'quiet' hahaha My shower is coming up and as happy as I am to get gifts I am not looking forward to seeing everyone an really do NOT want anyone touching my belly ..thats another thing I am bad about !

 

junebaby - April 29

There were 60 ppl at my shower and I felt pulled in so many directions (most of the people were my b/f's familt) and EVERYONE wanted to touch the belly at least i had a dress on so they couldnt lift my shirt up and do it!! I kinda just bounced around alot and didnt talk too much just ate and cleaned :)

My turn. I eat like c___p most of the time. I lie to my hubby about my aches and pains so I can get back rubs and foot ma__sages whenever I want. Sometimes during the day I claim to have done more housework than I really have, just to make my hubby feel a little bit guilty. I never answer the phone for any of my inlaws, they bother me and I really don't like them. I told my friends and family that I can't drive to see them anymore because I can't make the trip without stopping to pee every 20 minutes (they are all about an hour and 15 minutes away) which is a bit of an exaggeration. Now they all have to drive to me. I told my hubby that I can no longer scrub toilets because it hurts my back to be bent over... for two minutes!! I think that is all.

hmmm..my confession, for the last 2wks i have been eating raw salmon and avocado sushi ( my fav!), i ate it for my previous pregnancy as well, and baby was fine. And dont worry the sushi was all made fresh with extreme care! i dont drink water at all. i hate water! i prefer juices instead or anything else BUT water! hmm i guess thats it, cant think of anything else.

I dont know if its much of a confessional.. BUT.. Ive been pressing on my stomach.. well i always do it to move her around. But is it bad? like pressing on it alot? i dont press hard but i always have a habit of touching my stomach n waiting for a kick or a movement back. I love feeling parts of her body n she when she moves away but i dont think im harming her.. but should i stop? I also havent been taken my Prenatal Vitamins for like a month or so i took one last week but dat was it. they make me really sick..and i dont drink water as much as i should maybe 2 gla__ses a day.. hmm.. i dont know what else but das it 4 me..

 

junebaby - April 30

Precious I havent taken my prenatals thru the whole peg b/c they amek me really sick-weird that a vitamin can make you sick-I cant even take Flinstones

 

Precious - April 30

I know its terrible.. i have flintstone too and to come think of it since last week i took one n ever since i feel ew it makes my whole body feel werid. My mom says its the iron n some other vitamins that can be strong for my body.

I feel bad that I should be enjoying this time more as for attention from other people, but it is driving me mad now. I cannot even believe how many people (and how often) ask "and how are you FEELING?" with emphasis on the word feeling....does anyone else get this? It is everytime I see someone I know. That is the first question out of their mouths...it may be hormones, but I want to smack the next person that asks me because I'm getting tired of saying "fine, oh kind of tired, blah blah blahhhhhhhhh" The other standard questions after that one are always, when are you due, is it a boy or girl and have you picked a name? We have, but at this point I don't even want the conversation to continue so I say no and leave it all at that. I feel kind of b___hy about it all, but even the same people ask the same questions over and over so i don't even think they are listening when I answer, lol!

About the prenatal vitamin, yeah...I don't understand it, and wasn't effected by it during my entire pregnancy, but now I think it's what's been causing my stomach to be upset for about the last three weeks! Also, I've started to get all these other crazy symptoms where I can't sleep and sweat ALL THE TIME. Anyway, as for a confessional, I have taken several jacuzzi baths in the last week or so (I try to keep it short, but everything hurts), eat more junk food than I ever have in my life, wake up starving and have to eat (and more often than not I'll choose ice cream or cake), and have my DH do things for me that I could for myself but just don't want to.

 

Rachel29 - April 30

Oh, and Precious, I actually read somewhere that pressing on the baby (not hard of course like you said), is actually kind of like playing with the baby, and they enjoy the interaction. Who knows how true that is, but I do that sometimes too, and try to ma__sage my stomach every now and then to try to make the baby feel loved even before he is born!
