Stupid Girl....

Ugh...I am so annoyed I could scream. So,
one of my friends is about 9-10 weeks
pregnant and before she even got pregnant,
looked like she had a baby belly. (she is
the type with a small frame, but with
flubber in the belly region) And so now,
on top of her flubber, she is most likely
a little bloated, so she is all acting
like she is 10 times farther along than
she really is. Acting like her baby is
taking up all that bump, which is
practically ridiculous.....It doesn't help
matters that her and her husband's
relationship is a flop anyway and here I
am in a great relationship and she is the
one pregnant...grrr!!!
Okay....thanks for letting me rant....

saying that because she feels bad about
herself?

Some people are annoyingly pregnant. I
worked with a girl once who acted like she
was PREGNANT and her pregnancy was
worse/better/bigger/etc than anyone's
pregnancy had ever been. She got up out of
chairs and groaned. She made a huge deal
about her belly. She had everyone
convinced she was more pregnant than she
was. So much so, our boss had her leave
work because he was convinced she was
going to deliver any day. She was only 6
1/2 months pregnant but all her whining
and moaning made him think she was going
to pop a baby out any time. A friend of
mine recently had her first baby. She
started wearing maternity clothes when she
was 8 weeks along. The pants didn't even
fit her - they were always falling down!

With this, even before she was preg with
the flub, she joked that she would just
tell people she had flab from being
preg!!!! She is nuts!!
Thanks for your replies....it makes me
feel better knowing I am not overreacting
to her making me crazy!!! I seriously
avoid her just so I won't have to listen
to her. OH! And she missed her period on a
wednesday and took a test monday and half
the population "knew" she was by the end
of the day...she was telling people before
she even went to the dr or anything! I
would be afraid that would jinx me or
something! Haha! Thanks again! : )

I've met a few people who were annoyingly
pregnant. I can't stand all the drama and
excuses either. Everyone experinces almost
the same symtpoms but not all of us act
like drama queens!

Yeah, I understand she is excited...I am
sure I will be when that day comes. It is
honestly mainly ticking me off because I
think she honestly believes that having
this baby will help her marriage...that is
what depresses me most about it. Because,
she really is my friend, and she is fine
if you know how to take her, she is just a
very domineering, control freak, who knows
everything about everything...and if you
can learn to let what she says/does go in
one ear, you will get along with her fine.
And I know it isn't my place to judge who
she is or what she does with her
life....but I just can't help but hating
the fact that she is going to bring a baby
into this ill-fated marriage filled with
deceit and fighting....it just makes me
sad... : (

makes things a hell of alot worse.

No. Babies never work to save marriages.
Having a baby is really hard on
relationships.

Yes, that is what I have always heard and
assumed. As a baby takes more time and
effort out of a relationship because the
time and effort are focused on the care of
the child. Therefore, resulting in lack of
sleep which makes a person restless and
irritable, taking it out on the one they
are closest to, usually their significant
other...I am not a mother, yet...but I do
have 10 brothers and sisters...lol! She is
just naive....*sadness*

I'll second that. Me and Dom had never had
a fight before Mika was born but the
strain a baby puts on a relationship is
huge

What do you all fight with your "others"
most about after a baby?

For us, it's usually about him not helping
the way I feel he should be.

Your hormones are all over the place,
you're sleep deprived, most people have
money worries and most of all you have
this little person who is completly
dependent on you. Most of the things me
and Dom argue about are pathetic, like
today i'd had a bad nights sleep last
night and because Dom didn't put some more
nappies in the changing bag after he used
the last one i got annoyed

Yeah...I am positive it won't be all
butterflies and daisies...but it is still
something to look forward to having your
first child (and I am sure the ones after
that as well). I am still just anxious to
start trying and being a mom and my
husband being a dad. Maybe I am the naive
one. Everyone said that to me before I got
married, but my husband and I have been
together, with finances and our lives long
enough to know that yes, we bicker and
fight, but not enough to damage our
relationship, only enough for us to learn
even more how to communicate and fix the
issue and move on...does that mean I am
naive?

Having someone else to care for is just
plain stressful. You no longer have a
single free moment - hah! Even to shower.
Raise your hand all the mamas in here if
you have put your baby in the bathroom
with you (in their carseat) when you take
a shower?
There is no more alone couple time. Sex is
virtually nonexistent in the first few
months because you can't go instantly from
being a nursing mom to being a fantastic
sex kitten.  Sleep deprivation.
Lack of understanding from the person who
isn't with the screaming baby all day - if
the baby screams during the day. Sometimes
they are awake all night and the one who
works is angry and huffy because they
aren't getting any sleep.
Sure, those little smiles are wonderful
and babies smell good and are cute - but
sometimes that is as far as people see.
Having babies is WORK! Ask any new mom.
Then ask someone who has been a mom for a
few years. Then ask the mom of a teenager.
They'll all tell
you the same thing - it is WORK. It is
worth it - but it is hard.
