Am I allowed to hate you?

Just kidding.

Thanks, Em. I'm cheering myself up by sitting here and watching old home movies of Mazie coloring. She tried to turn her pen upside down to erase.

You are very allowed to hate me.

I think most of the other women in labor did as well. I was sitting cross-legged in the bed cracking jokes while everyone else was...screaming?

If it makes you feel any better at all, I may not have *those* problems, but I DID have hyperemesis, and I had to have a C-section. My cousin who has horrible periods? No problems whatsoever.

Maybe it'll benefit you in the future.

As far as cheering up, I'm gonna crash on the couch with my best friend and watch sappy romance movies.

ETA: I eat whatever I want too...so I doubt any processed or bad food causes problems like that. Some women have the problem, some don't. I doubt it has anything to do with corn syrup.

I can totally see you being the one cracking jokes.

Lovely.

Ew-ew-ew-ew-ew!! Sappy? I can only watch romantic comedies without gagging. Have fun with that...

I'm sure they wanted to be anywhere but their toes! You know, I bet all the nurses still tell stories about that crazy Ms. Kress....

Nice.

My favorite romance is While You Were Sleeping.

I get Horrid Cramping aswell, That have me in a ball on a lounge Curled around a hotwater bottle.. and anyone who comes near me get snapped at...

But that is due to Poly-cystic ovary syndrome.

But i would suggest going to a doctor to see if they can prescribe something to ease the cramping or find a possible cause of why you are getting such horrid cramping..sometimes its caused by something else, i didn't get diagnosed with PCOS until last year but have had horrible cramping from about 6 years ago onward's.

Yeah, nobody thought I was very funny. Not one bit.

I love that one...or Love Potion Number 9?

I know how you feel. I suffer from PCOS, which they say isn't supposed to cause pain, but trust me, it does. When I do have my cycle, I am a miserable, exhausted, cranky person. I can take a heating pad and midol and ibuprofen round the clock and nothing seems to help. It is horrid! I am ready for a hysterectomy and I'm not quite 30 yet.

I will try not to get into too many details, but if it makes you feel any better, October of last year (before I was diagnosed with PCOS) I was at a halloween party, dressed as a vampire no less, and was in the middle of a 28 day straight cycle of an urm... HEAVY nature. I was so lightheaded and sick (and I had not consumed ANY alcohol) that when I stood up I didn't even notice the *accident* I had just had (even through my extra girl supplies). Needless to say my cast from my foot to my knee was a little stained from that night and SO took me to the ER as soon as I got home.

Mother nature always has a way of picking the most "oppertune" times, doesn't she?

And yes, that does make me feel much better! I confess I'd rather barf in front of everybody then bleed through...

Good, glad I could help. I should also mention, while we're on the subject, that dear miss mother nature struck again when I came in the hospital (as a patient) sicker than a dog because of my gallbladder. It landed me a 4 night stay, and while I was on the OR table I um... started. Yeah, once again, mother nature-1, me-0.

Oh well, at that point the surgeon (who I see on a daily basis at work) had already seen me... ALL OF ME... (I ain't a small lady) in my birthday suit, so what's one more miniscule humiliation to add to the stack?

Ahh, the joys of being a woman.
