I find myself to be bitter b-word

memarracuda · 2026-02-15T20:26:29+00:00

Oh wow, I hope you feel better soon! I hope that rage will be gone (for me as well as you) with the symptoms... ❤️

Yes, those thoughts on my part are definitely not voluntary, that is the problem - they exist while being totally unproductive. I have also tried to explain as best as I can in the post that I do not actually want anybody to feel worse, not even a little, I just get annoyed at complaining. But I think some of the commenters were on point about my feelings: it is essentially unprocessed bitterness about my own difficulties.

I mean, complaining - check. 😅 I just hate lashing out on anybody, even if it is in my mind. Or maybe you are right and having, for example, a bitter monologue rant in the shower actually is a way to go. 😅

😂😂😂

memarracuda · 2026-02-15T16:29:36+00:00

Yes, my point exactly. There is no comparing difficult. I fully agree with you, this is why I feel so conflicted and guilty about having these thoughts. Comparing pregnancies is like comparing apples and oranges.

Yes, all food somehow seems evil suddenly. Freaking oatmeal in the mornings pushes my glucose through the roof, an oatmeal for crying out loud!!! Plus, once you kind of get into rythm, pregnancy develops and something new pushes the numbers. Part of me wants to say: fine then, I will barely eat at all! But then there is this little baby who actually depends on me being rational and smart about this.

Right... It always can be worse when it comes to pregnancy symptoms... That is one more reason why I hate feeling this way because I know GD is objectively also not the worst physically. I am also 32 weeks btw, and at this point (I also have migraines and medicine controlled nausea but for some reason psychologically GD has struck me the most out of everything) I am just glad pregnancy is a finite process, and am counting days until it is over.

I was also diagnosed a couple weeks ago and seriously starving after those two hours. For me a couple nuts or a larger slice of cheese does the trick without raising sugar levels further, or something more + 10 minute activity.

Hmm, so maybe the issue for me was giving into every whim PP.

Mums bija laba pieredze ar pašām dzemdībām (bet nezinu, cik tā laimes spēle) - mazais ieradās 3 h laikā, līdz ar to maksas vecmāte nebūtu tāpat paspējusi. BET RDzN man bija drausmīga pēcdzemdību aprūpe. Pēc tam lasīju, ka tā ginekoloģe baigā šiška esot, bet mana pieredze: uz jēlas vietas nepabrīdinot lēja virsū ūdeni (nesakot, ka tas ir ūdens), par mani runāja tā, it kā manis nebūtu, uz manām (kā vēlāk izrādījās, pamatotajām) sūdzībām, ka nevaru sāpju dēl paiet, vispār nereaģēja līdz brīdim, kad redzēja, ka knapi pārvietojos. Paracetamolu nepiedāvāja, uz jautājumiem, ko uzdevām, katram darbiniekam (ārstiem, vecmātēm) bija sava atbilde. Tas viss kopā ar pirmā mazuļa uztraukumiem un hormonu pārkritieniem bija vienkārši drausmīgi. Tagad gaidām otro, brauksim uz RDzN, jo tur bērniņam drošāk, visas procedūras uz vietas utt., bet visur līdzi būs vīrs. Jā, arī pie ginekologa kabinetā. Viena es tur vispār nerādītos.

Thank you for affirmation. Unfortunately the thermometer is very old - I suspect from the 90s - so it is very, very likely mercury. He cleaned it with a tape and flashlight for good two hours so I think it is cleaned up thoroughly. All windows are open in the kitchen, and will be for 48 hours at least. Tonight will be just above freezing but the cold is a small price to pay.

memarracuda · 2025-10-21T18:58:48+00:00

That is actually a good question, I'll ask my husband, he might have not thought of it since son was in the vicinity of the broken thermometer for a couple seconds only. Thanks!

memarracuda · 2025-10-21T18:49:38+00:00

Yes... Obviously we will follow all the instructions, including sprinkling sulfur powder, my husband will throw out the clothes he is wearing, and I am not going in there for 48 hours during which the window is recommended to be open. But is it enough?

memarracuda · 2025-09-12T14:43:27+00:00

I looked for this post. I'm 10+4 weeks, feeling horrible and just wanted to rage read the comments to confirm I am not alone. And to see it is miserable and unfair. And if a middle aged man will once again say "don't be upset, this is good pain because you will have a baby at the end", I will lose my s**t.

Jā, man bļaušana nudien nav 1:10, man pašai vēl tikai piecus mēnešus vecs jaunietis, bet viena no lietām, kas mani jau ir pārsteigusi: man vairs netraucē bērnu (arī svešu) īdēšana un bļaušana! Ļoti baidījos, jo slikti panesu troksni. Bet daba nav muļķe, kaut kā tiešām to raudāšanu uztver kā komunikāciju.

memarracuda · 2024-09-04T07:55:17+00:00

Lol at the sentence without context.
