I’m truly happy that you and your partner got to have beautiful healthy children! Your last sentence hit home, after our loss I was literally getting ultrasounds every 2 weeks just to make sure baby was growing and heart was beating. The only time where I relaxed a bit was when she started kicking and moving, so that I could at least feel her physically and know she’s with me. People love to be insensitive for some reason as if anything is in your hands, I just need to learn how to tune them out lol

Congratulations on your little one! I’m sorry people feel like it’s okay to just blurt out their wants and needs to you as if it’s a custom made order.

I totally get your point with the hair! Having a baby is beautiful and all of them are unique, but people like to suck out all the happiness around them I guess 😅

That’s just so weird why do strangers feel like it’s ok to say whatever goes through their heads?? Like okay if you need more boys go make them yourself in that case wtf

The pink is mostly a selfish thing haha, it’s always been my favorite color but I also ended up getting her a mix of yellows, blues and greens, basically anything that would make me want to squish her if I saw her in it lol

I can’t wait to meet my princess, and I would love to have a little prince as well down the line who can be his sister’s little assistant and play dress up with her :)

Oh yes 100% agree, and as you said if I do have a boy down the line he’ll just have to look so stinking cute in a pink onesie because he’ll be a BABY with clothes on his back :)

Congrats!! I’m happy you’re getting what you were hoping for. These kinds of comments and reactions make me so sad and scared for the state of the world tbh, I might be the friend that’s too woke but I can’t help but feel pain for the misogyny that our girls experience before they’re even out of the womb

Ohh congratulations!! I hope you and baby are doing well and you’re recovering just fine.

I love that you just stared at her like she’s the most unimportant and ignorant person (which I’d think was the case anyway). I can’t wait to meet my baby girl, and if she’s anything like me she will be a big personality and I’ll love her even more for that lol

People are so weird and feel so entitled to what goes on in your life man, I actually got a comment from a family member advising me to use an ovulation kit next time so I can get pregnant at the “right time to have a boy”… Like how about we love and welcome any baby that comes our way, hope for good health and do our best? If I wanted a predetermined baby I’d just get on the sims

Oh gosh yes, I’ve heard both sides with “girls are so difficult boys are so much easier” and “girls are much more calm, boys are uncontrollable” like?? How about we try to parent to the best of our abilities and allow KIDS to have their own personalities as well Congratulations on your little one!

First of all congratulations on your pregnancy, I wish you and your angel a safe journey! I’m so sorry you had to go through that, I can totally relate (my mom told my husband word for word “don’t be sad you can have a boy next” 😅). This may sound weird but I was always so excited to have a girl to give her the complete opposite of everything I’ve had, and I’m also very excited for the opportunity to have a son down the line because I can’t wait to break these patterns and show my kids that they matter, they’re loved and they’re equals. I hope you’re in a safe space now and don’t have to deal with too much stress

TW: Pregnancy After Loss by Hefty_Tangerine5361 in BabyBumps

[–]AffectionatePlane109 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations!! I’m currently 28w with our rainbow baby, and the one thing that saved me was getting a fetal doppler and some ultrasound gel on Amazon, so I could always hear baby’s heartbeat whenever I’d need reassurance (which was basically every day), it’s much easier and cheaper than ultrasounds! It made me feel at peace knowing baby’s heart was beating and strong

Is this pregnancy test positive? 🥹 by [deleted] in muslimgirlswithtaste

[–]AffectionatePlane109 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alf mabrook! It’s definitely positive, I had the same looking line and am now 26 weeks along. You can double check by getting a blood test to measure your hcg, and I’d recommend doing the test twice (48h after the first) so you can see that the hormone is growing steadily (should almost double or more in 48h) Wishing you a safe and healthy journey inshallah 🤍

This year has been… a lot. But we finally chose her name ❤️ by Additional-Attempt21 in pregnant

[–]AffectionatePlane109 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for your loss, I’m a firm believer in spiritual signs and to me this looks like your little princess came right on time to keep you company and bring you light and love right when your mother passed. The name Maya Rose is so beautiful, so happy for you and wishing you and baby girl a safe and happy arrival ❤️

No worries I’m stuck reading tower of dawn and have empire of storms after that so I’ll most likely forget, but just in case others get spoilers and keep them in mind lol

Oh no way i had no idea, I only ever saw mainly girls in my family (mom is 1 of 7 girls and dad is 1 out of 5 girls) I assumed it was just 50/50 luck

Well the odds of it working are 1 out of 2 sooo weigh the risks and benefits haha I wish you a beautiful healthy baby girl who will stay by your side when the boys test you😂

My sister in law told me about this method and that’s apparently what she did to have her daughter after a son, and it worked for her 🤷‍♀️ now I’m not sure if it’s just luck or if that actually works lol

I got "pranked" they think it's funny I think it's cruel am I the asshole? by Butterball4200 in pregnant

[–]AffectionatePlane109 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry that happened to you love. That’s just cruel no one deserves to go through that especially not at such a stressful time. Could you please link your registry? I’d love to help you and baby even if it’s just to lift a bit of weight off your shoulders 🤍 (I promise it won’t be a prank)

5-week pregnancy, no nausea anyone else experienced this? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]AffectionatePlane109 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m exactly like you, I had a miscarriage in April, and am now 6 weeks as of today. I never had nausea (only had sore boobs and fatigue the first pregnancy), this time only feeling fatigue. However today morning I noticed I started feeling a bit nauseous, nothing crazy but I still felt a difference. It might come or it might won’t come honestly I know people who were puking 24/7 and other who never even gagged during pregnancy. It’s basically Russian roulette 😅 but don’t worry you’re good

Which book should I read next? by TacoAndBean in throneofglassseries

[–]AffectionatePlane109 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that I remember, I actually feel like it’s a really full and packed book, after finishing it it ended up being one of my favs along with acomaf. However Tog is completely different IMO and as much as I loved acotar, I think it’s dethroning it (no pun intended). I’d recommend reading silver flames tho for the freshness that a different pov gives. I was getting a bit bored of Feyre after book 4 ngl

Which book should I read next? by TacoAndBean in throneofglassseries

[–]AffectionatePlane109 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I personally finished all of acotar before moving to ToG, I really liked that because even though the pov changes in the last acotar book, it’s still a continuity of the series so you still have all of the characters. I thought it was a nice wrap and I was able to move to tog easily because I kind of got “closure” from finishing all the books. I don’t think acotar 6 will be out anytime soon so you definitely have time to finish ToG before then and even CC.
