One of my FB friends is pregnant, about two months behind me. She's an acquaintance; we have a lot of mutual friends but I've never gotten to know her very well. I feel like she's being a huge pregnancy AW and it's making me grumpy. But it's probably partly related to the fact that she's gorgeous and will be an adorable pregnant lady and she has lots of admiring friends.
And here I am wishing and hoping that contractions would just start already! I haven't had a single one!
I would like them if they were a sign that labor was imminent, but they aren't! It's just like a constant tease. A constant, painful, confusing tease.
But your body is doing something! Your uterus is preparing! You may even be dilating a little bit here and there! So exciting!!!! I never had a single contraction the first time until I was in actual labor, and even then I just called them "cramps". And then my water broke and it got so intense. I hope it happens soon for you!
I see your point and should focus on that for sure. Thanks.
OMG hi Silvahalo! Congrats! I'm so happy for you! I have my own little secret I've haven't told the group about yet as you can see. Shhh
My vent is we haven't told either of my sisters yet and we're going to this weekend. I'm nervous about my bridezilla sister. I'm her MOH for her wedding in August and over Christmas she specifically told me if I got pregnant that she would kick me out of her wedding because "Pregnant women make ugly bridesmaids and won't look good in the dress style I've picked. One of my friends kicked a girl out of her wedding for getting pregnant so it's OK to do that." :?
Your friend is crazy...I can't stand those moms! This is my fifth and I will be induced at 38/39 weeks just like all my other perfect babies. People just love to have a cause! I really hope labor comes soon for you, all these contractions have got to be frustration and exhausting!

For some reason, my dad tried to engage me in a working mom vs stay at home mom conversation via email tonight. He said he had "strong feelings" about it. I love my dad but he far from perfect and I had to just restrain myself on the "strong feelings" I have about the multiple decisions he makes in his life. So bizarre.
I am so sick of everyone asking me if I think I am giving birth today or tomorrow. Wtf people? I have no fucking clue. My mom was like "oh well then I guess we have a lot of time before you give birth". Nooooooooo
Mil: did the doctor say if the baby is ready?
Listen people, I am 40 weeks. I sure hope it fucking happens soon and yes the kid is fucking ready.

Is the baby ready?? What does that even mean? Why do people forget how labor and delivery works? I might hide in a hole the next week.
I have been soooo emotional the past few days. I just feel like crying every night over little stuff. My MIL has really upset me. I finally told DH. I asked him not to say anything to her. I feel if I have a problem with her I need to address it. I just hate how insensitive she can be at times.
It really bothers me my mom isn't here to enjoy all the little milestones of this baby. I know she would be going to doctors appointments with me, shopping, registering, helping plan the room etc. She would be driving me crazy with stuff lol I asked her to wait to come visit until after the baby is born. I want her here then. I also want her here now, but I feel wrong asking her to spend the money to fly here.
I have no desire to live where my parents live. I just really miss them and wish they were closer.
Omg. 3-5 minutes apart for 58 minutes. Now NOTHING! ANGRY.
on the app, sorry for any typos
The kid really is messing with you! I had more regular Braxton Hicks yesterday but haven't had a painful contraction since last week. I'm thinking that mine considered coming out last week but then decided she was cozy and that she has no intention of leaving any time soon. I hope that the next time you get regular contractions that Baby Bricco comes out soon after!!!
I see your point and should focus on that for sure. Thanks.

These mommy wars are invading my life. A friend went off via text about formula feeding last night. It was unprompted and I felt so uncomfortable!!! I don't give 2 shits how people feed their kids. My nieces were formula fed and they are perfect!!!!! Why can't people just shut the hell up?
My mom is annoyed that we aren't finding out the sex of the baby. She wants to phone the doctor to ask him. She is in South Africa and we are in the UK. I have explained to her that the doc won't know, only the sonographer will know and she will have forgotten by the time we leave the room (she must do at least 20 ultrasounds a day). It did annoy me though. She first suggested that I find out and only tell her as it will be our secret. She can't seem to understand that I am not finding out because I don't want anyone else to know. I am not finding out because I don't want to know and it is my baby so I don't want anyone else to know and then let it slip to me.

Do you not have patient privacy laws in the UK??
We do. But even if we didn't I would not tell her the name of the doctor. Luckily the system works differently here to South Africa so she would not get the answers she wanted even if she tried.
