The birth story
Warning: This is a long post. Like really long. Like over 1500 words long.
At exactly 42 weeks (September 21st), I went to the doctor again, prepared to be induced that day. We took our car instead of an Uber, and my suitcase was in the trunk.
Before the doctor saw me, the nurse hooked me up to the CTG, which showed me that I was contracting regularly, every fifteen minutes. They were weak contractions, true, but they were happening regularly! At around ten in the morning, the doctor called me into the office and examined me, again. I was fully expecting there to have been no change since the last time I was there - after all, I had been examined every few days for two weeks, and my body was stubbornly telling me that it wasnât time yet. But time was up for me, whether my body agreed or not.
Iâm having a baby this week
I can finally say this with absolute certainty. If she is not born yet by Thursday (42 weeks), we will be inducing. If my cervix is still the same as it was yesterday and Friday, then the induction will likely fail, and I will need to have a Cesarian.
I need to type this out because I need to come to terms with it. Iâm not happy at all. In fact, Iâm really upset.
I suck at blogging
I have created so many damn blogs throughout the years, and at some point I always forget about them and let them die. Sorry if me disappearing out of nowhere gave people the wrong idea!
My due date (September 7th) has come and gone and... I am still pregnant. We are checking on her twice a week now, and we both seem to be super healthy. My body is not induction-friendly right now, but since sheâs still super active with a strong, reactive heartbeat and great levels of amniotic fluid... Well, weâre just going with the flow and seeing how it goes. One day at a time!
I hope to be around more often, but this baby should be here literally any moment now, so who knows. And now off to the bathroom for like the seventeenth time today...
So I havenât updated this blog in a while, and Iâm not entirely sure why... I think in the very beginning of this pregnancy I was a little paranoid that I would miscarry, and so I didnât want to get too excited and have a bunch of old blog posts reminding me of what I had lost. And then, the idea of updating became a little daunting. It had been so long! So much to catch up on! And the longer I put it off, the more stressful the idea became until I was just like ânah bro.â
But I am feeling suspiciously stress-free right now, so Iâd like to make a little update!
So yesterday I was at Primark and saw this. It is a Batman onesie with a velcro detachable cape. And it was âŹ6. I am so mad at myself for not buying it. Iâm going back next week and getting it because it is everything.
Me, 4 months pregnant, talking to myself: gosh, my back hurts and Iâm really tired.
Three ladies turn their heads completely around to look in my direction: TIRED???!!! JUST WAIT UNTIL THAT KID GETS HERE YOU DONâT KNOW THE MEANING OF TIRED YOUâRE TOO YOUNG TO BE TIRED
Several more women crawl out of the ceiling toward me: YOUâRE NOT EVEN THAT FAR ALONG YET JUST WAIT YOUâRE BARELY PREGNANT NOW WAIT UNTIL YOUâRE IN THE LAST TRIMESTER AND YOU CANâT ROLL OVER WITHOUT PAIN WAIT UNTIL THAT BABY IS 8 POUNDS YOU DONâT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR BACK HURTING
A random guy runs up to me, out of breath and horrified at my words: IâM TIRED AND SORE AT LEAST YOU GET TO USE PREGNANCY AS AN EXCUSE WHAT ABOUT ME PREGNANCY ISNâT EVEN THAT BAD HAVE YOU EVER PASSED A KIDNEY STONE
Reblog if you are pregnant with your first
Bbybepartofmyworld has been ttc for like ever but she's not doing much for her mental health admits she barely has motivation to take care of herself and her dogs but think she can handle a kid? Fuck outta here with that shit. Maybe she can't get pregnant because her uterus knows she'd be a shite mother.
Thatâs harsh, but youâre right on the fact that she shouldnât be having a kid if her mental health is in such shambles. Pregnancy worsens mental health, hormonal drop after birth worsens mental health, lack of sleep and personal time deff worsens mental health. Work on yourself a bit more before having kids. Itâll make the expeirenfe much more pleasant for everyone involved.
Nowi
Meh. Itâs hard when youâve been TTC for that long with no real answers. Of course she doesnât feel 100% constantly.Â
Well woah! I admit to my failing when it comes to my mental health. I admit to not being in the best place but Iâm seeing a doctor and trying to find the best medication has been a process thatâs currently at the two year mark? I finally got told to see a psychiatrist so I have to make the appointment and go?
Also I knew someone would get butt hurt about my dogs vet appointment and is why I put in there thereâs not really been a NEED to take her to the vet and sheâs updated on her shots until November. Then she scratched her lip more this weekend so we decided to take her in and see if it was anything to worry about. Itâs not she just canât have hard toys for ~a week.
I am working on myself and my mental health? Every single day? Like Emily said - TTC for so long makes my depression worse as there is no reason for it to be taking this long!! They have no answers and we are doing all the testing. Again. To try to find some! I often use tumblr to talk about my feelings as a place to vent - I can only say the same things to my husband so many times before I donât feel like itâs productive so I come here. I didnât realize my mental health made me unfit to be a mother. But also why go to bitchmoms and not to me? Iâve followed them for a while - since many people I started ttc with are now parents for the first second and some even the third time! But come on. Just come say it to me. I wonât bite. I admit Iâm not perfect. đ¤ˇđźââď¸đ¤ˇđźââď¸đ¤ˇđźââď¸đ¤ˇđźââď¸
This anon can fuck right off. Who are they to judge anyoneâs capability to be a good mother. TTC is difficult, long term TTC is downright brutal. This is why we get annoyed and those who say âI know what youâre going through, we tried for 4 months and it was so hardâ. Because as hard as that may seem, itâs nothing compared to the mental beat down you give yourself month after month of negative tests. The agony of waiting 70+ days for your period to start just to have the chance of being hopeful again. The anxiety that comes with waiting for the latest blood test results. The despair of failing another medicated cycle. Itâs impossible to get through with complete optimism and a sunny disposition.
My advice to those starting to TTC with infertility: have a good support system. If you have a partner, make sure they are just as committed as you are. You wonât survive if you donât have people to hold you up in the days you canât go on, and there is nothing wrong with that. Certainly donât listen to fuckwads on the internet who know nothing about what you are going through.
Yes! Best advice ever for anyone TTC but especially anyone who is LTTTC/TTC with infertility! đ
FUCK YOU ANON. You obviously have mental issues of your own if you canât go straight to the source to say that. @bbybepartofmyworld will be a wonderful mom. She deserves happiness and a beautiful little one.
@meredithbarz đđđđ
Wtf has been up with people lately? Youâre going to be an amazing mom @bbybepartofmyworld ttc is hard work, and youâre trying your best every day, just like most of us are. Your blog. Your vents. Your safe place to relieve stress. â¤ď¸
Yeah I donât know it must be one of those days I guess. Iâd be lying if it didnât hurt to read someone feels that way about you though. Because itâs does. I had a cry, since I cry over everything, and now Iâm just hoping that whoever obviously feels this way just unfollows me because I canât imagine following someone whose decisions you disagree with to this extent. đ Thank you @anchorthroughthestorms đ
This anon makes me sick. Youâre doing great Annie. For someone to expect another person to be 100% constantly has obviously never dealt with the struggles of anything. TTC is hard and can wear the strongest women down, donât let anyone make you feel like you shouldnât be a momâŚyou will make a great mom! â¤
What in the actual fuck is wrong with people??
If you know someone is having trouble conceiving, do not ask them if they're pregnant every goddamn time you see them.
I think Jessa debunked the Old Wives Tale about carrying high/low. She carried her second son much lower than she carried Spurgeon and everyone speculated she was having a girl. Even my mom, an L&D nurse, swore she was having a girl because of how low her belly was.
(Okay but a labor and delivery nurse should know better and should not need to use Jessa Duggar as a benchmark for medical accuracy...)
Huggies recently started making tiny diapers for preemie babies. The diapers are intended for infants who weigh less than 2 pounds, are specially-designed to protect the delicate, still-developing skin of premature newborns, and were created due to the lack of options available to Neonatal Intensive Care Units.

Pregnancy is a beautiful thing, and I believe it should be celebrated; whether it lasts 3 weeks or 9 months.

Back in the 1960s, the U.S. started vaccinating kids for measles. As expected, children stopped getting measles.
But something else happened.
Childhood deaths from all infectious diseases plummeted. Even deaths from diseases like pneumonia and diarrhea were cut by half.
âSo itâs really been a mystery â why do children stop dying at such high rates from all these different infections following introduction of the measles vaccine,â says Michael Mina, a postdoc in biology at Princeton University and a medical student at Emory University.

Using computer models, they found that the number of measles cases in these countries predicted the number of deaths from other infections two to three years later.
âWe found measles predisposes children to all other infectious diseases for up to a few years,â Mina says.
And the virus seems to do it in a sneaky way.
Like many viruses, measles is known to suppress the immune system for a few weeks after an infection. But previous studies in monkeys have suggested that measles takes this suppression to a whole new level: It erases immune protection to other diseases, Mina says.
VACCINATE. YOUR. DAMN. KIDS.Â
