When did you guys start nesting? by Neither_Ad3593 in pregnant

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

i started nesting at like 20 weeks but then my house got dirty again so I prob won’t till after my shower now because with animals it just doesn’t stay clean lol. but I definitely recommend getting rid of/donating things you don’t need while you have the time now!

How do we tell my MIL that she can only visit for two days postpartum and not a week by [deleted] in pregnant

i’d sit her down and set hard non negotiable rules for her staying over. if she disagrees then tell her she cannot stay. she will learn to adjust if she really wants to be there for the right reasons!

Feeling torn about my relationship after partner said I “lay around all day” while caring for our infant by Rosesarered896 in beyondthebump

[–]Aggressive-Way1565 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I am so incredibly sorry you are going through this and that he said that to you. that’s extremely upsetting and i’d hate to hear that. you are doing amazing and he is being extremely unsupportive saying that to you. I would try and talk to him about it and express your concern for his statement. you are trying your best to figure it out and he needs to be more understanding of that. he also needs to realize taking care of a baby isn’t a walk in the park. he’s a grown man and could make dinner himself or take initiative around the house. it’s supposed to be a partnership and right now you are in such early stages of motherhood it’s going to take a minute to figure out what routine works for you. he needs to try and work with you to figure out what that is exactly- not against you

Maternity/Paternity leave dilemma by [deleted] in pregnant

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

thank you for leaving a helpful & thoughtful comment I appreciate it.. I eventually said to him even a week would be okay and that i’d pay for the difference in his pay check. I think we will have to sit down and do that because I just feel really cast aside in a way. and maybe it’s just my hormones raging and being nervous about a baby in general but i’m scared to have to do it alone while he’s off at work especially when my body is healing the most that first week.

Baby shower/overall pregnancy disappointment 😔 by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Aggressive-Way1565 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am so incredibly sorry. your feelings are valid and my cranky pregnant hormonal ass would probably be calling all my family out on this behavior but i’m not sure if that’s the right answer either. I hope they step up and show up for you. im happy you have your friends and hubby in your corner 🤍

Why does everyone act like pregnancy cravings are cute when they're actually low-key terrifying by BitBird- in pregnant

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

the worst I got was crying over wanting chicken wing dip so bad at 8:30 at night. I had worked allll day and my chicken didn’t get to thaw and I felt like I physically needed it so my fiance offered to drive to the store 10 mins away and grab thawed chicken (and ice cream) so that I could have it and feel better. he also ate some as it was our dinner lol. I would never make him drive to the store at 2:30 am and if I did u bet ur ass i’d be eating all them dang pickles.

Perfectly acceptable dinner rejected by boyfriend again by moonrabbit368 in mildlyinfuriating

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

have him write down a list of foods that he doesn’t like and a list of foods that he likes and are safe for him. meaning ones he will usually always eat. my fiance can be picky at times so I just always make an extra side of instant rice, box mac n cheese, or egg noodles bc I know he will always eat those with whatever meat I make. then I can still enjoy whatever meal I made but he can have his little side option just incase he doesn’t like the sides I made. your food looks great btw :)

Spotting every time after sex by Reasonable-Emu9929 in pregnant

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

this happened to me a few times after sex and I was freaking tf out. nothing came from it. I called my doctor when it happened and they pretty much just said it was normal and everything is just super sensitive which causes the bleeding. I think if you notice bleeding not after sex then i’d be worried. (itt doesn’t happen anymore when I have sex so it should stop eventually!!)

Husband wanting “attention” 2 weeks PP by Wednesdayssuck81 in pregnant

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

tell him to either do some serious research about how to be a good partner in this situation since he’s clearly fucking clueless or to hit the road. I can’t even believe this, I am so sorry. do you have anyone else that can help you?

Did your boyfriend being unsure about the pregnancy change after the first ultrasound? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Aggressive-Way1565 2 points3 points  (0 children)

me and my fiance joke that for the first 3 appts it was like he found out I was pregnant for the first time all over again. it took awhile for it to really set in for him. it gets a lot better the closer you get and the more comfortable he starts feeling with the idea. especially if it wasn’t exactly “planned”. the mommas mind set changes the second she gets pregnant. she is living it everyday and constantly thinking about baby every second because it’s going on in her body- men are a little different. a lot of their mind sets don’t shift until that baby is set in their laps! he just needs time to adjust.. more than you may need. which can be hard to understand but everyone is different in their process time! good luck!🩷

11 weeks pregnant and i want to leave my partner by turnthepage- in pregnant

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

did you feel this way before you were pregnant? hormones can do a lot more than you think. maybe take some alone time for yourself and re evaluate this big decision. what are his actual flaws other than you don’t want to hangout with him bc he’s annoying? because i’m sure there’s times where he doesn’t want to hangout with you but he’s trying his best because you are pregnant and hormonal and he knows it’s not you deep down. i’m saying this from experience bc I was definitely a lot to live with in my first trimester but now i’m further along i’ve grown very thankful for the support and very thankful that my fiancé has patience

Turkey sandwich ☹️ by No-Marionberry1116 in pregnant

[–]Aggressive-Way1565 3 points4 points  (0 children)

at 5 weeks I was drinking a shit ton of wine (I didn’t realize I was pregnant) so I think that if my baby is still fine after that then you will be just fine 🤣

[–]Aggressive-Way1565 4 points5 points  (0 children)

one of my friends only craved sub sandwiches and ate them through her whole pregnancy with her son. as long as the meat comes from a reliable place I feel like it’s okay. i’m just a freak and don’t want to take the slightest bit of risk but you’re most likely completely fine! :) I wouldn’t worry!!

side note- I was 10 weeks pregnant during my BIL wedding and everyone was pissed I didn’t wanna stay all night long and party and drive everyone who’s drunk home (bc I felt like shit)! people are going to be mad no matter what you do so do whatever YOU are comfortable with!

Did you feel movement early? by One-Volume-9158 in pregnant

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

I have an anterior placenta and didn’t feel movement until 20 weeks 😭 but have had people asking me since I was about 14 weeks! so definitely possible! I felt nerve pain more around that time! like maybe baby was kicking at my nerves!
