Man, I hear you on the “advanced maternal age” thing. It’s kind of a bummer to hear that label applied to yourself! I’m fortunate in that my only issue at this point is hypertension, which I have regardless of state of gestation, and it wasn’t a problem in the previous pregnancy so I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it won’t be a problem in this one either. But it’s still a drag, it means I’m considered a high-risk pregnancy, requires extra tests and doctor’s appointments, etc.

And the hormones! Oh, those crazy hormones. That alone could make dealing with a very loud, very public tantrum more stressful than normal.

Sigh. I have no words of advice, it sounds like you handled it the right way. I just hope there is no next time for a tantrum like that.

I got down on his level & just sat there with him while I talked to the people I needed to talk to. We talked over his screaming, which went on for a good 10 minutes. I totally would have walked away if I could have. When it happens at home he has to go in the bedroom. But it’s usually just a small fit, a little crying and yelling. This was an all-out scream-fest with super-red face and tons of tears. This is a new phase, for sure.

It’s hard not to try and comfort & distract when you’re in front of other people. They weren’t judging me & were so nice. And later, one of the women told me how good & sweet I was with him the entire time. What she didn’t see was me sobbing in my car afterward. Stupid hormones. I’ve said that a hundred times in this pregnancy & I’m sure I’ll say it a thousand more. Stupid hormones.

Thanks, Laura! I think he’s going through something right now. Maybe he’s getting ready for a growth spurt, as he’s eating more & sleeping a little more, too.

And it could be that he’s learning to assert his independence just a little. I don’t yet know. *sigh*

p.s. next time he has a tantrum like that, just walk away and leave him there: give him no response at all. take the meeting into a different space, and let him scream all he wants. At least that way, YOU won’t be quite so frazzled, and he’ll learn that he can’t wind you up quite so easily. The other people in the office have seen it before: Trust me!

I’m having a hard time doing the math on how old I was when I discovered I was pregnant. I turned 45 in May, and my son turns 8 in December. All I know is how surprised I was when the doctor told me I needed to be extra careful about my pregnancy because of my advanced maternal age. (Advanced maternal age? who ME? I WAS STILL YOUNG WHEN I GOT PREGNANT WITH NUMBER TWO!)

I was a mess. Emotional nutcase. Enormously pregnant and physically fine — I was working 12-hour days until four days before I delivered — but completely wacko. Friends could not ask me how I was doing because I would break down and cry.

It’s hard, Becky, but you’ll get through it. And you will adore your number two son as much as you adored the first, though you might not have the same amount of energy as you did the first time.

*hugs*

Oh man. We have had these kind of days before. I think it happens most when Mommy’s attention is somewhere else (on the phone, in an appointment).

I can totally sympathize with your feelings about pregnancy too. I spent the last 16 weeks of my pregnancy on bed rest. It can feel defeating when your body seems to be turning on you.

Hang in there!

Can’t say yet. Next month. Not baby related, in case you were wondering.
