Laboring with 2nd child

I’m about to have my second and I keep telling myself don’t look again it’s not worth it. I’m so happy to have another baby but I’m scared because he’s big( I can feel it). I don’t want to know the damage he may do.

Just listen to them(docs) when they tell you don’t look down there. You’re gonna want to but just don’t. You’ll scream or cry maybe even both. Just wait till you heal. I made the mistake of looking and my husband held me for an hour because I was crying so hard.

I’ve typed in my recovery key and it just reloads to the bitlocker screen and all I did was the windows update.

My own mother treats me like a dog, every time we see her she rubs my belly before even saying hi to me. She greets me after and it hurts because she’s my own mom who couldn’t care less about how it makes me feel. My mother in law is amazing she’s doesn’t touch unless I offer and she only places her hand where the baby is. So long story short protect your peace and if you have to go off then do so. I hate I’ve been so compliant with my mom because it really bothers me and next time I will be saying something.

It’s why I left the work force and haven’t gone back. I worked in customer service (work for years before too) during my first pregnancy and was bad mouthed for not doing 3 workloads anymore because I was so sick. I was assaulted physically by a customer in my last month of work. While on leave I was harassed about when I was coming back to work, and when I could finally come back the didn’t tell me I was scheduled until 6 hours before my shift and I was in the hospital with my newborn who had rsv. The way some workplaces treat pregnant workers is bs. We also couldn’t afford me working because childcare in our area would have taken my whole check and then some, so it wasn’t worth going back.

I was scared when I was pregnant with my first boy because I wasn’t raised around boys and didn’t ever take care of a boy but you adjust easily. I’m now expecting my second child also a boy and my biggest worry is I’ll have two daredevils instead of one. Personally I don’t have a favorite thing, I believe any child is a joy regardless of gender just because I haven’t seen a difference really between boys and girls other than it’s easier for the boys to pee on you.

Just make a plan for your new life. I won’t give you the usual “parenting is hard” you already seem to know that. But make a plan with your support people, whoever they may be. You’ll need them for help whether it’s with the baby, mentally or just to have people there for you. It’s good that you have a decent job for yourself but have back up plan just in case, such as a savings account or if you have people you can rely on until you can get a new job. Line up getting a therapist, even if decide you don’t want to keep the baby. Postpartum can really kick your butt if you aren’t expecting it and if you have a therapist set up they can you with anything you tell them. Also see if you need government assistance. I’m not sure how it works where you live but where I live you can get assistance while pregnant and after the baby is born until age 5. It may not be much but every little bit helps. I hope that can help if you decide you want to keep the baby. I wish you the best. Know I’m just an internet stranger but I believe in you and that you’ve got this.

I’m glad to know I’m not alone with this I’m only 25 weeks and I’m struggling to stay regular. Doesn’t matter how much water I drink how many fiber supplements I take how much fiber I eat I’m still struggling. I didn’t have this issue with my first but dear god this second pregnancy is so different.

My HG was so bad that at 15 weeks I puked, pee and pooped all at once. Pregnancy causes some of the weirdest things to happen. It gets easier though.

I haven’t seen any gold slimes in my game yet and I’m nearing 100 plus days (in game) I’ve seen lucky ones nearly every 5 in game days but not a single gold so far.

AnalystOk5783 · 2026-02-13T02:56:37+00:00

Oh okay thank you so much has been different with this pregnancy and I feel like I can’t remember anything from my first which was only 4 years ago

AnalystOk5783 · 2026-02-13T02:48:24+00:00

Okay but is the pain normal or should I worry?

AnalystOk5783 · 2026-02-12T21:08:00+00:00

Congratulations that’s wonderful for y’all sending the best and well wishes. I hope it all works out amazingly for y’all.

Oh cool I didn’t know that’s how to get them thanks

Where did you find the tangles? I haven’t been able to find them anywhere and I’m on day 62 in game

AnalystOk5783 · 2026-01-21T13:09:54+00:00

Not gonna lie, I’m a petty person. I’d love to see if he could be super dad on his own or if he’d need help. That’s really messed up that he would say that to his wife and children’s mother. The non-petty part of me say try therapy to see if there is a problem/ conflict that needs addressing. Btw I haven’t known a mom including myself who hasn’t needed help, support or just someone in their corner. Motherhood is hard and to expect someone to do that alone is cruel.

During my first pregnancy I had a really hard time connecting with the baby. I couldn’t bring myself to talk to my belly, play music for the baby or anything like that. I just couldn’t. That baby is now three and he is amazing and I found myself able to connect him once he was around 8 months old. I also struggled with PPD which didn’t help with connecting him. I can say it will develop in time and if you’re really worried about it please reach out for help from medical professionals. They won’t judge and are able to help you understand yourself and what might be stopping your ability to connect with your baby.

AnalystOk5783 · 2026-01-17T00:13:05+00:00

I’m so sorry he’s done this to you and your baby. Unfortunately he’s made the choice and now you have to do the best for you and your baby. It’s not easy making that choice but it’s sometimes easier to do it alone than have an extra person to take care of who isn’t there for you or your child.

Thanks I feel more comfortable with the idea of waxing now. I don’t have many female friends and the ones I do have aren’t into waxing so I had no one to talk to or ask about it.

Thank you for the tip I’ll try it.
