'Big' girls support thread!

Well yesterday was hell. Got in to a big fight with my roommates because I found moldy food in the fridge. We are all adults in this house and they act like they dont know how to clean up after themselves. Anyway I went off there was yelling and almost a fist fight, Yeah I know thats bad but im still learning to control my temper
I even smoked a cigarette to calm my nerves Now I feel very bad because I havnt smoked since my bfp and im afraid I hurt my bean. My blood pressure had to be through the roof too with all the yelling and such. I know im hormonal and all but I do not think that I was over reacting about the situation. I just told them to clean their shit up and they wanted to get pissy. Ahhh I thought this pregnancy thing was gonna be easy but living with these disrespectful bitches is gonna be harder than I thought
I didnt even feel cramping last night when I went to bed and I always get cramps at night. I swear if something happened because of their immaturity and stupidity I will kill those motherfuckers. Excuse my language but im really upset and worried

I just hope that ya'll seriously don't get gestational diabetes!!!! That stunk!!

I'm doing okay! Loving being a mommy!!!!

hows everyone else?!

When I went to my new doctor on Wed she made me do the Glucose test which I thought was odd for only being 9 weeks but she said she wanted to just make sure. I needed to be under 135 and i was at 136 . I have to go back for the 3 hour next Tuesday. They didnt tell me I was having the test done so I had eaten breakfast and drank chocolate milk before I went. The lab tech said she is confident that i will pass with flying colors being that I was only 1 point off. What do you think?

Miller- I only failed my first one by a smidge too... and they told me the same thing! "oh I'm sure you'll pass" yadayadayada!!! And I didn't BUT the worst part was that I was put on a diabetic diet... I didn't have to shoot insulin or anything! So I hope if you fail you only fail mildly like I did and then all you have to do is watch your carbs and sugar! Which I think wasn't fair because your supposed to be able to eat WHATEVER you want when your 9 months pregnant BUT I'm smaller now then I was when I got pregnant... and while I did all the hard work up untill 30 weeks... the GD kept my diet in control so I didn't gain anymore weight! Theres always a plus side!!! AND your LO is worth it!

JNA- I smoked a few cigs while I was pregnant too!!! well a pack a day for the first few weeks cause I didn't know lol and then just a few here and there... maybe a drag off someone elses! I don't think it hurt the baby! I'm on the fence about smoking and pregnancy! I mean I know its bad... but they say EVERYTHING is bad... and everyone used to smoke while pregnant and I don't know about too many people personally that it hurt... that being said... I intellectually know its cancer for your baby so I did quit! BUT You shouldn't feel bad about having one. Its your decision and don't let anyone judge you or bully you a bout it! Plus I don't think 1is going to hurt anything... whereas booze is a different story I think! I seriously was terrified my whole pregnancy that 1 drink would give my baby FAS... and that kept me away from even thinking about that!!! As for your blood pressure... I'm sure it won't be the last time your angry! I'm pretty sure that when you get all worked up the baby gets all worked up too! But not in the same way... llike when your DTD the baby gets excited! But not sexually... just like a sugar rush! I'm sure your BP gets up there when you DTD (or at least I hope so) so I wouldn't worry about some arguing! But try not to punch people!!! Its hard I know... especially stupid people... but if they hit you back they might not aim for your face and then you'd have to kill them and then there is jail... and then bubs doesn't have a mama! And I wouldn't stress about the cramps at all! They go away eventually... and come back around 20 weeks hard core.. and then go away again and then you get contractions! So I would enjoy all the pain free time you get!

ClaireNicole Thanks for the support. I just dont know anyone who has smoked while pregnant and I was a tad bit worried. And you do have a point about the bp lol
I still miss my cramps though. Its reassuring knowing that something is going on like its supposed to. Thats my only pregnancy symptom and now its gone. I thought I was starting to get ms but it went away. Now im mad and anxious for my scan just so that I know everything is okay with my little one. Ahh what do you do when your pregnant and feel like you need a drink?????

 

[JNA]

I lied ms is still here

 

[britt1986]

Hi My name is Brittany. I am 24 and a US size 18. I have a beautiful little boy who is 1. His name is Bryson and hubby and I are TTC #2. I haven't always been this size. I was 150lbs and a US size 12 before getting pregnant with LO. My worry is because we had so much trouble conceiving LO and with me being bigger now, we will have even more problems and that makes me sad.

 

[JNA]

britt1986: Welcome Bryson is in my top ten if I have a little boy lol

 

[ClaireNicole]

Welcome Britt!!! Its nice to have another mommy!! GL TTC!!!

JNA- you keep praying for symptoms... your going to get them and that sucks! I was like that! And then it was like WOAH MS! Even though my MS was afternoon sickness lol. I always worried (even in the end) about the next scan! I was sure they were going to say something was wrong!!! I know your scan is going to be perfect

 

[JNA]

ClaireNicole I hope your right hows motherhood treating you so far?

 

[ClaireNicole]

Good! I just wish I wasn't leaking lol I'm leaking from everywhere!!! My boobs leak.. and god forbid I laugh too hard... cause then I pee a little and I'm still bleeding lol. But I LOVE my little baby! Shes so worth it! I love holding her!!! Shes beautiful! I think Motherhood is amazing! Its crazy how much I love this baby!! And her daddy is so in love with her too!!

 

[JNA]

Well give Payson a kiss from me. She is such a beautiful little girl. I sure dont look forward to all the "leaking" but I cant wait to meet my little bean. If only I had a time machine lol. She must be a really good baby because you haven't been complaining of sleep deprivation. How on earth did you make it 9 months and not go crazy

 

[ClaireNicole]

lol I complained a lot for 9 months!!! And my OH took care of me! I hated being pregnant! I only sleep like 6 hours a night but its okay! I'm not overburdened with anything and the 6 hours is almost enough lol. She sleeps good when she sleeps! Last night OH picked her up after I fed her and got her to sleep while I went back to sleep!!! It was nice! I think I got super lucky! Shes a good latcher and a good sleeper! So its not like amazing sleep.. but its better then most people get I think!

 

[JNA]

Yeah 6 hours is alot for a new mom. My best friend just had a baby on the 14th and she gets about 4 hours on a good night. My little niece likes to sleep all day though.

 

[ClaireNicole]

lol well its 6 hours of interrupted sleep! Somtimes more if I decide I can go back to sleep!! I'm not a day sleeper Wish I was!!

 

[JNA]

My mom is definitely moving in once my bubba get here

 

[ClaireNicole]

lol I LOVED having my mom here!! Shes coming back next week i think! Its super nice!!

 

[SoonToBeMum]

well iv had a naff time recently,
they cancelled my midwife appt this thursday and said she was referring me to the teen pregnancy midwife (not a worry there, fine with that) i then mention how i was told i HAD to give birth in watford but didnt want to, so i said i wanted luton and she basically said that she could notify them that i wanted to be a patient there but i would have to go there for all my appts (again not a problem) & now i have to wait to hear from luton, havent even met a midwife yet. its such bollox!

oh and i told my dad lastnight and there was a very horrible silence for like 5 minutes and then he said that aslong as im happy hes happy & he will try to be the best grandad he can be, so im not too sure if he was happy with it but im sure he will come around!

 

[ClaireNicole]

How old are you soontobe? I def think you should be in to see a doc soon! Its stupid they keep changing all your stuff! But at least it means that you can go to the hospital you want to!

 

[SoonToBeMum]

How old are you soontobe? I def think you should be in to see a doc soon! Its stupid they keep changing all your stuff! But at least it means that you can go to the hospital you want to!

im 17, i know, it just frustrates me because i told my dr i didnt want to give birth at watford so i dont understand why she didnt do all this for me from the start y'know, and why book me in with the normal midwife knowing that i would be referred to a teen midwife? i was really excited about seeing the midwife but now im just playing the waiting game and i hate it

 

[ClaireNicole]

17 isn't that young! I had a baby at 16 my parents wern't as understanding! I'm glad your dad didn't freak! He'll LOVE your baby!

I have no idea why the dr. didn't do that for you either! It seems like healthcare over there and over here are totally different!
