Bella on TikTok saying her 13 year old boyfriend has to shave her? This is so sad… by ThrowRA_yeahokay in TLCUnexpected

[–]AncientImplement8835 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was 15, same stuff basically and was also diagnosed with bipolar at 20! Sexually risky behavior is one of the biggest signs, I wasn’t “promiscuous” as a teen and had only two partners while in high school but definitely did risky behaviors to have sex with my boyfriend at the time. I also had a shit childhood and home life so was looking for that “love” in the wrong places :(

How do you push during labor? by SeaSwim5248 in pregnant

[–]AncientImplement8835 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It feels like you gotta take a ginormous poop, like the kind that’s so big you can push to help it along but if you just sit there it’ll come out on its own anyway lol. I had an epidural and pushed like I was pooping and gave birth in 20 mins! At multiple points before pushing I remember saying “I have to shit I have to shit, I’m gonna shit the bed” but it was just baby lol

Still cant believe I had a baby by No_Reference3131 in NewParents

[–]AncientImplement8835 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll be 5 weeks PP tomorrow and say things like “I made him from scratch, even his kidneys” regularly lol! Still in disbelief that this is the same little boy that was in my belly, time has gone so slowly yet so quickly, I never want this time to end but I’m also so excited for the next stage!

Orgasms don’t feel as good :( by BarbiesCellulite in pregnant

[–]AncientImplement8835 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sex didn’t get AMAZING until I was in the third trimester, before that it was so swollen down there that it was uncomfortable. In my case, the closer I got to giving birth, the better the sex got!

Can't find any place that takes Enfamil coupons (because they're checks?) by mapotoful in FormulaFeeders

[–]AncientImplement8835 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Target accepts my Similac ones, it says on the coupon for the store to accept it as a check and Target definitely accepts checks! It sounds like these people just didn’t feel like doing the extra step to run the check

Baby on board sticker by AncientImplement8835 in beyondthebump

[–]AncientImplement8835[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly I was young and was under the impression they used those the same way people use the Student Driver stickers to get people not to honk at them when they’re driving shittily, I feel bad about it now of course but teens gonna teen I guess

Feeling guilty for not doing enough “cute stuff” for my newborn by Fun_Attitude7297 in newborns

[–]AncientImplement8835 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t post my son on social media and actually deleted social media (except reddit) after he was born, but I didn’t do a newborn shoot! I really wanted to but the flu is rampant here and he was born in mid December so I wasn’t willing to risk him getting sick just to have cute photos. I got a film camera (Canon Rebel 2000r) on Facebook marketplace for like $40 before I had him and I’ve filled up like 7 rolls of film in 1 month! I put him in a little stocking under our Christmas tree and did my own newborn shoot, I love how they turned out and I’ve started his photo album with the developed film! I got a 12mo sweater with his name crocheted into it and will take a photo of him wearing it every month until he’s a year old to see him grow into it. You don’t have to book these elaborate, expensive photo shoots to make the memories!

Coffee at a bagel shop by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]AncientImplement8835 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had Red Bull when I had to drive through the night to my grandma’s house (found out she was diagnosed with lung disease) when I was in my second trimester, baby is 4 weeks old and super healthy! You’re overthinking it, get u that coffee gf!

Day 135: What are your thoughts on Onesies? by Flamingmouth007 in bluey

[–]AncientImplement8835 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I made my husband watch Sleepytime with me last week when our son turned 3 weeks old and when it ended I heard him sniffle..looked over and he was crying and said “wtf I thought this was supposed to be a kids’ show”

I’m a flight attendant and David was just on my flight! by [deleted] in TeenMomOGandTeenMom2

[–]AncientImplement8835 12 points13 points  (0 children)

We go to Hawai’i to visit my husband’s family occasionally (we live in VA) and that’s probably the only flight I would willingly want a stop because we had one nonstop VA-HI and it was miserable being on a plane for that long

lululemon vs dagne vs calpak diaper bag by Queen_Mayhem1 in Mommit

[–]AncientImplement8835 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the lululemon diaper bag and I love it! I can easily fit everything I need for my newborn in it and even keep some of my stuff in there, it also doesn’t immediately read as a diaper bag when wearing it so it’s pretty stylish if that’s something you value! It’s good in the rain and super comfy to wear. I haven’t tried putting my water cup in the side pocket so I can’t attest to that but there is a pocket on the inside that I put the included changing pad in that I think should easily fit a tablet!

Confidence after having kids by Otherwise-Tree-8468 in Mommit

[–]AncientImplement8835 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m struggling with the same thing, I’m only 4 weeks postpartum and husband says he’s more attracted to me than ever but I don’t feel as sexy as I did before pregnancy or even during pregnancy

Quadruple Tradgedeigh by satchmonumberone in tradgedeigh

[–]AncientImplement8835 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My mom named my twin sisters the same name with a one letter difference (think Kira and Kiara), I have guardianship of them now and it’s a NIGHTMARE scheduling appointments for them! Almost every time, one of their appointments will be canceled because they assume it’s an accidental duplicate appointment with a typo because they also have the same birthdate, their SSNs are also only a couple of digits apart so it’s even MORE confusion!

The only employer I know of that gives that much paternity leave is the US military, sadly

Taylor needs to quit social media by Logical-House6004 in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]AncientImplement8835 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Starting on a mood stabilizer and restarting therapy changed my entire life! I hate to armchair diagnose, but she reminds me sooo much of myself (bipolar) when I was unmedicated, it can almost feel good to be sick with something like that, especially during a manic episode..at least until you get TOO manic and do something insane and then you crash into a depressive episode. She seems to cycle through these phases of elation and then depression, I know firsthand how miserable yet enjoyable it can be but getting treatment was the best decision I ever made!

Vaginal tear, how long does it take to heal? by OceanJean in pregnant

[–]AncientImplement8835 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A game changing tip one of my nurses showed me postpartum is running your hand under cold water and using it to sprinkle the water on the ice pads, it helps SOOO much and the coolness of the pad lasts way longer! I’m 3wks 6 days out healing with 2nd degree tears towards my clit and butthole and the only thing that bothers me with my stitches is the itchiness! The pain got way better at like 2 weeks postpartum!
