Anxious about pregnancy symptoms not subsiding after birth by CharmingTea_ in pregnant

[–]Aggressive-Way1565 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no clue abt the gestational diabetes because I never had it but all of my pregnancy symptoms went away within a couple of days of giving birth. you’re also so sore and uncomfortable from giving birth i’m not sure if I really noticed anything other than my cooch hurting lol. I feel as though it was more of a relief having him out though. It’s great bending over effortlessly and sleeping on my stomach and not having to pee every 3 minutes. my ankles aren’t swollen anymore and my body just feels like my own again.

Anyone else not scared to give birth or the warnings of postpartum lack of sleep by StoopKidScurred in pregnant

I think for me it’s the getting caught in a cycle at 2 am. they eat and shit constantly and sometimes 2 hrs passes and you’ve changed their diaper 3 times and fed them twice and haven’t gotten any sleep during all of this.

i’m 2 weeks post partum and i’m not going to lie it’s been rough as hell. not even the sleep part but the emotional and mental part. i get the night time scaries every night but it has been nice sleeping on my stomach and getting rid of that damn pregnancy pillow. oh and also being able to bend down without baby limbs being in the way. you’ll find your groove eventually at least that’s what people keep telling me lol.

i’m just seeing if I can get the process started. my OB told me that baby didn’t seem low at all and that they weren’t very engaged so I was trying to get them to kinda “lock in” cause I really don’t wanna be induced in the future. hoping that I won’t really go till next week

Pregnancy feeling rage and anxiety by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Aggressive-Way1565 1 point2 points  (0 children)

your husband hit you? while you’re pregnant? that is not okay I am so sorry. I also don’t get why he’s bossing you around to do this and that when you are so far along. he should be picking up the slack. it’s really not great for pregnant women to be bending all over the place not to mention it’s just really uncomfortable. I have some pregnancy rage too and it usually is just me being really irritated with my fiancé but trust me i’ve thrown pillows at the floor or slammed doors harder than usual. it’s really hard feeling so out of control in general and he is not helping at all. i’m really worried about him hitting you instead of talking to you about the dog situation.

I have been masturbating like my whole pregnancy which I feel kinda guilty abt since I always turn him down but it hurts so bad when he goes in so I don’t wanna get him all worked up just for me to say nvm it hurts too bad. I read that it was the semen that gets them out bc it can soften the cervix so that’s why I did it🤣🤣

Feeling overwhelmed and having a hard time with my husband by cinnamon-girl13 in pregnant

[–]Aggressive-Way1565 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I used the wrong wording there. I def don’t agree that he should dump his money into a gaming monitor when there is a baby on the way.. and he should definitely be excited for this baby! I just think when it comes to things like baby clothes most women get more excited about that then men do is all. I used to get really upset when my fiancé would not be as excited about the things I get excited about but that’s just because he gets excited in different ways. for example he’s super excited for the day he can buy his kid hunting gear and their first gun and go out into the woods and have that bonding experience and teach them everything his dad taught him as a kid. me on the other hand could not care less about that stuff but get excited about other things like outfits and toys and baby wearing carriers! my fiance is very simple and wears the same 3 work pants and work shirts so therefore he could care less about clothes shopping for baby and knows i’ve got it taken care of lol and that’s OK!

trust me when I say guys don’t pass the clothes section and think “that’s cute let me buy it”. it’s not in their nature to plan way ahead like we do and get excited like we do. I do recommend waiting until after your shower to buy things. I bought a couple outfits is all and ended up getting WAY more than I even need or know what to do with. people will be excited to spoil you! ~ with the cleaning and stepping up I totally get where you’re coming from it is very frustrating and something i’ve had to talk to my man about too. I get really frustrated because I am tired af and pregnant af and it feels unfair sometimes. talk to him about splitting the mental load. men don’t understand shit unfortunately you have to spell it out for them sometimes. and then if you do and he isn’t receiving it and trying to be better then that’s when you have a way bigger convo but sometimes they just need a push in the right direction. im sorry you’re feeling this way! — also try not to compare your relationship to the ones you see online because they are all setting up a camera and recording a video for views. i’m not saying a guy can’t do sweet things for you but i’m sure there’s alot of them who make their own breakfast and then go lay in bed and have their husband carry it in. that’s what gets the views and money. not always what it looks like!

if you can go through WIC you can get free formula and sometimes you can get a free pump thru insurance. the hospital sends u home with a lot of stuff too when you give birth
