Wow, Suzy, that's so crummy of her. Glad you're ready to put a bit of space between the two of you. Sounds like the best thing. Oh, and I am totally on board with the maternity clothes! I had ordered 3 pairs of jeans from Old Navy and got a great deal on them. They came, and they are sooo comfy. Two have small or low panels and one has side panels. I'm hooked and can totally understand you ladies who say you are still wearing them after having your first LO! Ha!
Unfortunately, woke up to more bleeding this morning. This pregnancy is really testing me mentally. I am not freaking out nearly as much as the first time it happened, of course. I have had 2 u/s directly after bleeding, and all was great with baby. My doctor said I do not need to contact them unless it is very heavy, menstrual type bleeding. Apparently once you have one bleeding spells, more usually follow. Hoping it clears up by the end of the first trimester at least. I do want to thank you ladies who told me about your bleeding (sorry to not mention you by name, cannot wade through all the pages of posts right now). Knowing that you dealt with the same thing and now have healthy LO's really makes me feel so much better.
I am sorry to you ladies who are bickering with your SO's. That is such an unneeded stress. I think sometimes it's hard for men who don't really know how to express or deal with emotions as well as we women do (sorry, stereotype alert). This is such an emotionally heightened time. I had a little spat w/ DH in the car driving to lunch. I had said a few things that I thought were perfectly normal, expressing opinions and bringing up points about the things we were talking about. He got huffy and said, "That's fine because anything I say you are going to disagree with today." I tried to tell him that I didn't think I was being disagreeable, and he said, "Oh, looks like I'm wrong again." I just started crying...dealing with the stress of bleeding (even though I'm pretty sure everything's fine)...I just can't handle him not being supportive. He immediately realized he was being ridiculous and apologize, saying he felt attacked but he was wrong. He's been nice ever since then. It's just we are both very easygoing, considerate, respectful people, and hardly ever bicker at all. So it's a bit upsetting to me when we do. But I guess when it rains it pours.
