Broodyness

[GingerBiscuit]

My supervisor at work is pregnant- only 8 weeks, but still. She's started bringing in baby magazine and people have been discussing names and things.

This is making my already INSANE boroodiness hit nuclear level. Good thing I'm on implanon contraception, as otherwise I'd probably 'forget' to take my contraception, my minds going that far with it all.

Damn my ovaries, I'm too young and want to be more financially settled before I bring a child into the world.

But it's like this insane craving, like it's not ME, something in my head constantly going 'breed, make babies, he's perfect, wonderful genetic material, make babies, make babies babies babies BABIES NOW!' ANd it's just getting louder.

[blas]

I get that same feeling every time a friend of mine or a family member has a baby. I hold the precious little baby and think "Well, maybe ONE day I might change my mind....look at how beautiful it is..." and I start to actually consider the possibility of that one day.

And then I see my friend's toddlers and I say "Nope, definetly not."

If only they could stay babies forever. Kind of like wishing your kittens will never become cats and your puppies never become dogs. Just like every parent wishes their children wouldn't grow up so fast.

By the way, don't damn your ovaries. Without them, how would we puzzle men?

[GingerBiscuit]

Can I damn my womb instead, for wreaking the pain it is on me this month? *bastard*

[blas]

I damn Eve for eating that apple and making it so that women have to have babies and get periods........but to each their own and whatever they believe. Damn whatever you wish. Just leave ovaries and Satan's bowels out of it :P

Call me crazy, call me a baby, call me a brat, but I will never accept having to have a menstrual cycle again. I'll stay on the shot for as long as possible, and then I'll have to see after that where it goes....

I want to shoot the person who came up with the idea of letting ovaries be able to be free floaters. It hurts, it feels weird and when the Gyno wanted to have them checked it took forever to get it to stay in one spot.

And the person who came up with the idea of allowing ovaries to have pain receptors so that you double over in pain every month when one or both pops an egg should be buried up to the neck, smeared with jelly and an army of fire ants released in their general area.

These are the times I hate being female.

[NotSoInnocent]

These are the times I hate being female.

No, sweetie... the times that we hate being female is when (without benifit of pain meds) we are forced to expel a large and potentially deadly parasite from our womb, from a hole that starts out less than half as wide as the parasite itself, followed by 6 weeks of bleeding and pain... and then another 18 years of putting up with the antics of the (now expeled) parasite.



Yeah... can't tell that I'm pregnant, can ya'? Parasite number 4 is being particularly stubborn. I've been in labor since 12:00 AM on Tuesday morning. I keep getting told "Well, you're not dilating... and you're only at 2 cm... Why don't you go home and walk around for a bit. Come back when the contractions get really painful." ... ... REALLY PAINFUL????? I'm in almost constant pain. I can't sleep, so I'm exhausted. I have THREE children to take care of while I'm dealing with this... And no one will do anything about it! My doc won't see me because I can't pay him. The labor and delivery nurses won't do anything without my doc's aproval... and they can't get that unless I go see him... which I can't afford to do! *screams in frustration and:cry::pissed::hairpull::burnup:*

and now back to our regularly scheduled topic....

[Rapscallion]

Parasite? I'm assuming there's some tongue in cheekness there.

All done and said, though, it's conversations like this that make me wonder why so many women keep saying they'd not prefer to have been born a man.

You're in labor and your doctor won't see you?!?!?!?! WTF kind of doctor do you have?

If anything happens to you or your baby because of this- sue the crap out of him!

Parasite? I'm assuming there's some tongue in cheekness there.

I'm guessing so also- being in labor for a long time sucks. If she really felt that way I doubt she'd be on baby #4.

[GingerBiscuit]

It's only once a month I would rather be a man, when I feel like something is chewing me open from the inside out. The rest of the time- Happy being a woman.

[Der Cute]

Damn my boobies. Yes, I said it.

They've turned into men magnets and get to be a PITA for shopping for bras, and just achey during that week.

But thank God for Midol - the best thing since sliced bread.

I have the kind of doctor that can afford to do this kind of crap because he's one of only 5 ob/gyn's in a 30 mile radius. He cares more about his bottom line than his patients.

And I plan on it. I'm too exhausted, right now, to even think about a lawsuit.

heh... I was supposed to be getting my tubes tied in Feb. but my other half came home from Iraq in November and we had a wardrobe malfunction. (it's part of the wardrobe if it's being worn... there was only one thing being worn and it broke, thus the "wardrobe malfunction".)

I love my kids, but I never wanted to have more than the first one. Doctors won't "fix" a woman until she's over 25 and had at least 2 kids. At least not without a bunch of psyche evals. Because obviously a woman has to want so many kids... [/sarcasm] I'm incredibly firtile. I get pregnant at the drop of a hat. Anyone's hat. Jimminy Cricket loses his hat in Hollywood... and I get pregnant. I miscarry a lot, but the pregnancies happen more often than not. Even with LOTS of protection. I'm the opposite of the women that try for years to have a baby... It kind of sucks for me. But keep in mind that I DO love my parasites. Even when they're being stubborn and a pain in my... erm... body.

[Der Cute]

NSI,

To be perfectly honest: I think your doctor is full of horseshit. Someone I know is under 30 and has never had children; and her doctor is OK-ing her being "fixed" in a year or so.

Really, if you have pretty good arguments for getting fixed : I have 2 kids, I dont want anymore, I'm so fertile the miscarriages are very common....Endometriosis....Evil pains in the cramps.... And you give these arguments to Dr. X, and Dr.X will not follow - FIND ANOTHER DOCTOR!!!

You're needing help at the moment. Why haven't you gone to the ER - they cannot refuse anyone.

And you mentioned someone coming home from Iraq - are you married? (sorry) I was a military brat as a kid- the hospital care in the military is pretty darn good.

Don't put your health as a secondary criteria.

Your friend is lucky... I was only 19 when I started asking to get fixed. Of course I was told no... several times. Then again at 21.... At 24 (after my youngest was born) I was told that I could get my tubes tied... but I'd had a traumatic delivery so I was told to wait a year for my uterus to heal. Had an appointment in Feb, but got pregnant in November. *sighs*

I've gone to the ER... and they send me to L&D... who then send me home because I'm not dilating.

Not married yet (working on a divorce... with a lazy lawyer) so I have no insurance yet.

I'm doing ok... every time I go into the hospital they check on everything (including the baby) and we're both fine... just dealing with a long labor.

[NightAngel]

NSI,

Nope. They won't do it. I asked when I was 22 and pregnant w/ my 2nd child. They told me no because I was under 25 and I might change my mind. I didn't change my mind but wound up with child #3 because my tubes weren't tied and the shot FAILED.

I love my littlest and wouldn't trade him for the world.

BUT if they had followed my wishes I wouldn't have been sitting around longing to have another baby either. My tubes weren't tied until I was 27 and even then they acted like they weren't real sure about doing it. It wasn't until I told them that together my hubby and I have 7 children that they decided not to hassle me.

[blas]

NightAngel, have you ever bought a lottery ticket?

From what my gyno told me 3 years ago when I first got on the shot, something like only 3 in 1,000 girls a year get pregnant on the shot.

Then again, I have a coworker who, no lie, has gotten pregnant on every birth control method available. Her first was a condom baby. The 2nd was the pill. The 3rd was the patch. The 4th was the shot.

And the doctors were still unsure if they were willing to tie her tubes......

Some doctors are real quacks, aren't they?

[NotSoInnocent]

*clears throat* First baby... conceived despite the pill, condom AND spermicidal foam. Second baby... conceived despite the pill and condom with spermicide. Third baby... conceived despite condoms with spermicide (had an issue with the pill). Fourth baby.. well... condom broke.

Have you considered getting his tubes tied? It's a lot simpler surgery and thanks to that good-old double standard he's unlikely to get much, if any, arguement from the doc about it.

He's wanted to get fixed for a while (begged and pleaded after Anna was born) but he's in the military. They won't approve a vasectomy unless one of these criteria are met.

1) Over 25. (He's 23.)

2) 4 or more children. (He only has one... two if you count this pregnancy... though between us this one will make four.)

3) At least one child of each sex. (He's only got a girl... but this pregnancy it's a boy.)

So they'll fix him... AFTER Alex is born because then he will meet two of the criteria at the same time. (4 or more children and at least one child of each sex.)
