laciebug - my life, my designs

So there's this chick in my pregnancy group that's driving me up the damn wall. First of all, she was on bedrest forever because of preterm labor - now she's being induced before her due date. I don't get that. Why go to so much trouble keeping him in, then kick him out at the end? There's no real reason for the induction, she's just uncomfortable. Give me a fucking break. We're all uncomfortable.

I started a thread a while ago for people that were planning natural births. She comes in and says that she's had the epidural twice but it didn't take either time. She wants one this time and thinks it'll be 'fun' to have a labor where the epidural actually works. Again, give me a fucking break. And stay out of my natural birth thread!

Now she's posting a couple of random breastfeeding things that are pissing me off. First, another girl in our group had her baby earlier this week, and he's jaundiced. Her ped told her to supplement with formula - surprise, surprise. *rolleyes* She posted a thread asking for advice on what to do about engorgement - she "can't" feed him all the time because she's supposed to alternate feedings. However, yesterday he had 4 poopy diapers and 4 wet diapers, so it sounds like he's getting plenty from the breast alone. I told her to tell her doctor to shove it, that formula doesn't have any magic ingredients that make bilirubin go away any faster. But this other chick is spouting off crap about supplementing. Just fucking shut up already!

Then she posts in the breastfeeding support thread, saying that she had an easy time of nursing her first two kids, but she liked giving the bottle better with her second so this time she just wants to go straight to the bottle, but wants to give as much breastmilk as possible, but doesn't know how to best go about this. Fine, whatever. At least she's not going straight to formula. But it's annoying the crap out of me that someone that had an easy time of nursing just doesn't want to. That on top of everything else that annoys me about her, and I just want to reach through the internet and smack her around a bit.

To top it off, she's naming her kid Wesley. I fucking HATE the name Wesley. As someone on another board said, it's the name of a sniveling little brat. Who names their kid Wesley in this day and age? Ick.
