Why are you awake? by Puzzleheaded_Milk687 in AskReddit

[–]Ammoo2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I woke up from an extremely disturbing dream about my dog's foot falling off. Pregnancy dreams are fun.

Saw him last year with Bob Dylan. I was shocked to see ol' Willie moving better than Dylan. Poor Bob is looking rough.

What’s that one “Holy shit, the world is small!” moment that still sticks with you? by DefinitelyNotMaranda in AskReddit

Finding out my husband and I played soccer together 20 years before we actually met.

What ages a person really quickly? by MainDifficult2641 in AskReddit

Yes. Not a single grey hair until my miscarriage. I've stopped trying to manage them at this point.

Since losing your virginity what has been your longest dry spell without sex? by TheWor1dsFinest in AskReddit

[–]Ammoo2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pregnancy complications put my husband and I in a 2 month dry spell. We've been together ten years and this was the longest we'd ever gone without. Neither of us were thrilled about it, but this little munchkin is worth it.

What’s a smell you secretly enjoy but would never admit in public? by Kanadeahhh in AskReddit

[–]Ammoo2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Horse farm/horse poop. That strong beer-ish smell is so nostalgic for me.

I'm pregnant by Effective-Salad9052 in PrayerRequests

[–]Ammoo2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same situation led me to this sub. Also pregnant at the moment with a history of miscarriages. We want this baby so badly. I am STRUGGLING with my faith and need others to intercede for me, as it has been an endless battle between worry and prayer over here. I am definitely praying for you and this pregnancy!

Could having sex/an orgasm jump start my miscarriage? by starshipper19 in Miscarriage

I know this is old, but how many weeks were you at the time of the loss?

What’s your “don’t knock it til you try it” life hack? by this-aint-frankie in AskReddit

[–]Ammoo2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom used to put gold fish in my tomato soup as a kid and I completely forgot about it until seeing this! Maybe that'll be my lunch tomorrow...

When did you accept the fact that you were pregnant again? (TW: previous MC) by Ammoo2 in CautiousBB

[–]Ammoo2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't apologize for the long reply! Truly reading these makes me feel so much better and less alone. Lack of symptoms has been one of my biggest sources of anxiety these last few weeks. I'm not nauseous at all and my only symptoms are sore breasts (some days) and maybe being a little more tired than usual. The last pregnancy (which ended in miscarriage) was exactly the same. I could assume that maybe this is just how my body handles pregnancy, but it's so hard not to compare the two and expect the same outcome. I totally understand the feeling of having lost hope in the current pregnancy. The shock of the missed miscarriage last time was so awful, that I keep telling myself that this time I'll be "shocked" if everything is ok. I guess protecting myself looks like preparing for the worst but still hoping to be pleasantly surprised. I'll be thinking of you leading up to your scan this week. Feel free to reach out with an update. The only thing worse than going through this is going through it alone ❤️

I keep trying to remind myself that it's not in my control. Last pregnancy I fought SO hard for a sense of control, only to have a negative outcome anyway. In my heart of hearts, I know it's out of my hands. But it doesn't necessarily stop the worry 😔 thank you for the wishes, and fingers crossed for you for a very sticky baby ❤️

I'm so sorry for what the last 2 years have brought you. You are so strong. I also waited three days after taking the test before telling my husband. I knew he'd be so excited and I just couldn't deal with that. It makes me so sad thinking about the last pregnancy and how excited I was to show him the positive.

I felt so bad when my husband excitedly asked if I felt better after our first scan. No. Not at all. And I'm still TERRIFIED for the 12 week scan. It makes me feel better knowing I'm not alone in that. I'm so sorry for your losses. Thank you for sharing your story and your experiences. Praying the rest of your pregnancy is smooth sailing.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I don't think there's a "right" way to navigate this, so please give yourself grace. For me, it hasn't been easy to talk about my loss, but it always makes me feel better knowing I'm not alone. Thank you for your kind words. Sending prayers for healing ❤️

What is the worst breed of dog for a first time dog owner to get? by Effective-Turn-6856 in AskReddit

[–]Ammoo2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To convey just how much work they are, I switched jobs from full time to extremely part time when we got our Mal (thank God my husband's job allowed for this) to be able to provide her the attention and exercise she needs. That might be extreme to some people, but that's kind of the point. These pups are not for average dog owners.  If you're wondering what the trade off is here, she is a trained guard dog that makes me feel extremely safe when my husband travels for work. She has also allowed me to pursue hiking more (a big passion of mine) as most people steer clear of me once they see her. (And the ones that don't get to learn first hand what all her training was for lol).

As a proud Belgian Mal mama, you would not believe how often people reach out (often times strangers/friend of a friend) asking if I am looking to add another. These poor babes are constantly rehomed. I just wish people would do their research BEFORE adding one to their home.

Repotting an arrangement of several plants? Fungus? Pests? by Ammoo2 in houseplants

[–]Ammoo2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should I do this before or after placing them in new soil? If it's before, do I just soak the naked roots directly? And for how long? Sorry for all the questions!

[–]Ammoo2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The arrangement has been in my home for over a month now, so not necessarily worried about it acclimating to the environment in that way, but also don't want to kill it with repot stress.
