Update, Now With Moar Pussy

(see previsou post if you are thinking to yourself, "what the fuck?")

TB called the doctor's office (because I chickened the fuck out) and spoke with the nurse. She poo pooed my concerns which I am sure only helps my not looking like a crazed pregnant woman, right? They couldn't get me in today and the nearest Urgent Care doesn't have the capability to do an ultrasound. I am NOT hanging out in the ER today. Do you want to know the really helpful comment that the nurse made to my husband? "Well, it is not that uncommon to see a reduction in symptoms during a heat wave when the hormonally crazed pregnant woman becomes a little dehydrated."

So don't worry! EXCEPT I would have no fucking idea if we are having a heat wave because I've been at home on my ass for days and it isn't hot in here. Also? We have plenty of liquids in the house because we're super awesome like that. Therefore, the super helpful nurse advice is a great big fucking non-example. SUPER.

Teddy Bear isn't worried because no bleeding = perfectly fine, right? Ha ha ha. Also, something of interest to those in the know...TB commented last night that the pregnancy book for guys that he is reading (which is a piece of shit in my opinion) doesn't have a section for helping your mate deal with miscarriage. Or anything about miscarriage. Really? Books ignoring miscarriage? NO?!?

So that's that. Oh wait! A funny for you. Chicken had a comment about Riverside County and Temecula that made me cackle. I need me some cackle, people.

"Temecula is the pussy of Riverside County. It's the only good part."

Dr's office nurses are bitches. They know they hold the power and they will hold it over you no matter your problems. You can be dying and they'll tell you the doctor is booked until 3 weeks from Thursday.

Also? Chicken is so right about Temecula. It is the pussy of Riverside. Although, now I'm wondering where the boobs are.

Oh my! Nurses drive me crazy all the time. I had a favorite at my re's office. I memorized her schedule and would call when I knew she was working! NCLM

Doctors' office nurses are SATAN'S MINIONS!!! Don't get me started on them bitches or I'll get worked up and faint like a fucking goat over here! FWIW, I never really got to enjoy the disappearing fibro symptoms at ALL, they came and went throughout the pregnancy as they pleased. BUT! I do have one ray of hope for you--I never had a miscarriage (well, I may have, but it's debatable and I try not to think about it) but I have experienced Fibro and the end of three pregnancies, and each time I got one MOTHERFUCKER of a flare-up, like JESUS COME GET ME I AM READY kind of bad, like "THIS SIX-POUND BABY IS SO HEAAAAAAVEYYYYYYY" kind of bad, so if you're not totally DYING of the fibro I'd take that as a positive sign. I did, however, solve the nurse issue with my OBGYN--her mom works the front desk and I ingratiated myself with her mother to the point where she's hear about it at the dinner table that night if poor Eliza didn't get a call back, the poor thing! If it gets me ultrasounds on demand I have NO problem kissing a little ass here and there...

Also? Chicken is fucking hilarious. SCARY, given his tender age, but fucking HILARIOUS! And even better in person. That kid's gonna be the white Chris Rock.

Oh and if ass-kissing doesn't work? You didn't hear it from me but if you call them complaining of spotting and severe pain ON ONE SIDE ONLY they'll TOTALLY see you and have that U/S wand up in your bidness before you get the second leg outta your panties. Not that I'd ever sink to such a thing when Nurse Mom wasn't on the job, no, not ME...

When every single pregnancy is different, I am one that believes that the Man Pregnancy books (and ones for Women as well) are useless.

Sure they give you general things to anticipate in pregnancy, but they don't really prepare you for the role parenthood.

Nothing can prepare you for it (as you already know).
