I love this nameless baby and we are so incredibly happy he is healthy and hope that things stay that way but the endless heartburn and cramping at 24 weeks is killing me. I took yesterday off of work to lay around and get the cramps to stop. I can't do that every week for the next 15 weeks. Then I feel like the shittiest mother of all time because after we lost Ben I would have done or endured anything to have him back. I know how fragile pregnancy is and I'm still whinnying. Pity party for one!
lexus, everything about pregnancy sucks. Whine all you want. There is nothing flameful about feeling bad! No guilt.
Mine is so lame. I went and spent a small fortune on new workout clothes yesterday hoping it would give me the motivation to get back to running. It worked. I ran two miles yesterday. I followed up my good work by splurging on Mexican food last night an donuts this morning. This is why I will never be skinny.

Don't do that to yourself. Pregnancy sucks sometimes and aknowledging that it sucks doesn't ever, ever take away from your loss or make you not want that baby.
My pregnancy with DS1 was hell pretty much from beginning to end, and you can bet your ass that my misery was public knowledge. That didn't mean that for one second I wasn't eternally grateful to have him.
lexus, do you have a prescription for something for the heartburn? After suffering forever just taking Tums, my doc put me on prescription Zantac and it was life-changing. Towards the end when that stopped working I went on Prilosec and that worked too. I was so mad that I hadn't asked for something sooner.

Pregnancy bites! Complain away!!! I literally feel your pain, I had Braxton hicks from 14 weeks on and terrible cramping and bleeding to the third Tri due to a large sub chorionic hemorrhage, I was so so miserable and couldn't do anything since I was restricted. It's ok to bitch hope you start to feel better but be sure to take it easy!!!!
I don't really have a fffc except I worked from home yesterday and it ended up being more of a mental health day for me as opposed to a super productive work day. Not having to be "on" and catching up on my every day life stuff made me realize how worn down I was! I feel like a new person today.
lexus, old wives tale is that if you have a ton of heartburn during pregnancy, means the baby will have a lot of hair. You'll have to test that theory out. As crappy as you feel right now, try to remind yourself of that beautiful bundle of joy you will have soon enough.

My Fffc: I am totally judging a close friend who "cannot" get out with her kids. I know I shouldn't, but dang, you have two and they are older than mine. I don't understand how you save everything until you have a second set of hands.

I have more...I just ate half a pan of brownies (an 8x8 pan fwiw). I don't know if I'm cut out for this ft Sahm mom thing. I am slow don't think I'm cut out for ft teaching. I think I'd be a pretty good book reviewer since I'd be left alone. That's my confession I guess. I really just want to be left alone and not deal with people.

I'm not trying to be all up in your business...but is there anyone you could call for a break? It sounds like a bit of time alone would really do you some good? Or time to take a nap?

I wasn't looking for hair pats. Thanks though. I am waiting to hear back from a moms morning out program for next Wednesday. The baby has an appointment and the. I'd like to sit somewhere and relax or maybe go shopping. I'm very much looking forward to it. No one to just call and ask for a break. My mom called last night bc I we hadn't talked all week and I gave her a small description of our week and her response was "that's kids for you. Glad you're having a good week!" Between those comments and my doctor saying this is what having three kids is all about I guess I'm at a loss. I know I don't have a support system to speak of and I don't know where to find it so this is me trudging along trying to figure it out.

Well that kind of sucks. I'm sorry your supports aren't really being supportive. Hope the morning out program works out
Dizzy, I know you, and I love you, and I hope you take this the right way.
Get a second opinion. I really would hate for you to be dealing with PPA/PPD that could be helped but because your doc is weird you don't get what you need.
dizzycooks, I agree with auroraloo, your Dr sounds like he's sweeping it under the rug. I have been in the similar position, I wish I would have dealt with it sooner, instead of losing that time. Take care of yourself, you deserve it.
