Ah, the beauty of insurance companies and HMOs, they pick and choose. I thought you mentioned AJ was active duty though? I'd talk to the dean or a teacher about that "professionalism" crap, that's just insane.

8 weeks, yay!

I got my 25 week preggo proof pics online and I guess it was the hormones cause I just kept thinking "That's sooo not cute anymore" and the "I'm fat" stupidness creeped in. xd

He is, but Medicaid covers better than Tricare. Not to mention I needed insurance before he went active, so I got Medicaid, but now I'll have coverage when Medicaid ends too. But I did some research into Tricare too, and they don't cover circumcisions anyways, at least not out here cuz the base/pediatricians are too far away. Its stupid.

I understand, I went on this shopping spree last month...or was it the month before that....erg, I dunno anyways went I did my big maternity clothes shopping thing, I bought some overall capris and overall shorts cuz I always thought pregnant ladies in overalls are just adorable and I wanted to feel cute.........the cute feeling is gone now, I just feel big. sweatdrop

Hello all. Just thought id jump on and share a funny story. So im cooking and eric asks for something. Naturally im busy so i grab the candy and go to turn to give it to him..i forgot about my belly! Long story short my belly knocks him (not hard) in the head and he falls over with a shocked look on his face landing on his bum. He promptly gets up looks up at me then down at my belly and sternly says "Bad belly! No hitting!" Grabs his candy and stomps out of the kitchen xd It was so cute i laughed so hard.

I would've posted this in my other post, but its morning now and I remembered something I wanted to post.

How is everyone dealing with the hormonal hell of pregnancy??

I'm dealing with it very badly. I mean the one thing people loved about me (before pregnancy) was I wasn't overly sensitive and I never, ever, ever held grudges. sweatdrop But now, I am so incredibly depressed ALL the time, and its all happened since I got pregnant. And now I can't seem to let anything go, anything that bothers me, or angers/depresses me I can't let it go; its just sits there and festers and rots until I just burst from emotional exhaustion.

My OB doesn't want to put me on anti-depressants until she absolutely has to (i.e. after the baby is born), so she wants me to go into couseling to see if that helps me deal with things emotionally......but I hate shrinks. The idea of telling your personal life to an absolute stranger is just.....uncomfortable.

Lol, that's too funny monkey, that'll be a great story to share with him later down the road! heart

I've been lucky to not be as hormonal this go around, but I have my moments like watching movies and the like. I also try to keep myself busy, especially mentally, since dh switched over to nights.

As for psychologists, if it comes down to your health or the baby's, it seems rather trivial to not want to see one because you're uncomfortable. Their job is to help you cope with it, it's about your health and the baby's.

I have been soooo hormonal! Everything irratates me, everything! I used to be so laid back, and now I'm just annoyed all the time. When is this kid going to come out!!!

I wasn't trying to be trivial. Nobody likes to do things that make them uncomfortable, its part of being human. Shrinks make me uncomfortable, but so does the more....uncomfortable physical aspects of OB appointments. Doesn't mean I'm not going to, just means I don't want to cuz its uncomfortable.

How are you handling it though, Puncture?? How do you stay on top of being annoyed all the time??
PostPosted: Wed Jun 21, 2006 1:51 pm


im suprised ive done as well as i have aside from being annoyed with my clothes ive been really laid back. My ob on the other hand is driving me INSANE! Every freaking time i go in there he asks how im doing emotionally from tim's death and tries to convince me to take anti depressants "just in case". I'm freaking fine! I go in there all happy about the baby ect and he wont lay off. I mean i can see him asking once or twice but this is every week or two since april! ENOUGH ALREADY!!!Grrr! Anywho lol im so ready for this to be done. I wanna sleep more than 2 hours at a time.. i wanna eat without puking from baby kicking my stomach.. i want my body back gonk The next 7 weeks will not go fast enough. neutral

Regardless, it's just about putting it into perspective. We all have to do things everyday that are uncomfortable, you just have to remember psychologists (who often do not like to be referred to as shrinks) aren't doing that to do so. I didn't say you weren't going to, it just seemed like you were trying to avoid that if you could. I would jump at the first chance if depression was even remotely a possibility.

But hey you have to think too, that you being on bedrest is probably a big reason why it's been hard for you emotionally. Which is totally understandable in the situation.

Monkey, well at least he's asking, but I can see where it the overconcern can get annoying. Come on the next seven weeks! I've pretty much come to the point where I don't think the Zantac is working, but there's only so much you can do when it caused from baby jammed up in there, lol!

Luna, I don't know if Tagamet and Zantac are that much different. I know you have to take Tagamet routinely (one in the morning one at night) to keep it working. But you know of my hellacious heartburn and resulting constipation from chowing down 150 tums in a month during my last pregnancy. I could actually feel the liquid sorta bubble up when I laid down.

Tagamet TOTALLY got rid of that. Ask your doc if there is any difference. And if there is, try to switch to that. I was like four weeks out when I got put on tagamet and seriously those last four weeks were even WAY better than the four weeks before when I was less pregnant because the heartburn was gone.

I vent, alot, to my poor, poor boyfriend. He's so good about it. I don't know what I'd do without him. heart Sometimes he gets the brunt of my moodiness to though... God I hope that stops after this baby's born! I feel literally out of my mind sometimes.
PostPosted: Fri Jun 23, 2006 12:25 pm


Well, I talked to the doc, she said Tagamet and Zantac really work the same. I have to take the Zantac twice a day for it to really work, which I'll admit, I don't always remember the second dose and I don't want to take them less than 11 hours apart. I think a lot of it doesn't help when I'm trying to make sure I get fluids, but then that doesn't help. I still throw up here and there not from nausea, just from the reflux when I bend over or lay down, but I'm just going to have to use more common sense on my part maybe. xd

Heh, with Logan, my moodiness was worse right after I had him, so I'm dreading that flux when I have this one!
