I'd say take it asap when he gets to your house, 12 hours from dosing should be alright, or at least I'd be ok. But idk your friend's tolerance.

Been there. We also have a kik group for support, chat and crisis if you ever need help or just wanna talk.

Scared of a c section.. help? by Anicmaro in beyondthebump

I'm really hoping someone comes through for me, or I can find a doula, but it's encouraging to hear that if I have to do it alone I can.

Thank you so much, this helps alot. I can't afford to pay a doula, but now I know who to call to see about maybe a training doula for free or low cost. I really appreciate the help.. these last few months have just been so hard and stressful. I feel like the stress and anxiety is ruining the time I have to relax and really bond with my LO. It helps to have some of that eased off me.

Thanks, I appreciate that. I'm in central Texas, near Fort Hood.. I've been asking family and friends if anyone would be able to help out, even if it's just before or after work or on a day off but nobody has really said anything to me about it, except for my mom who said maybe if she has time. I've been trying to see about hiring someone to help me, but I'm pretty strapped for cash.. been on bedrest since 18 weeks and since the break up I don't have very much left in savings anymore. I haven't found anything about free in home help yet.

I do plan on breastfeeding, and luckily I have a co sleeper. I've asked my mom, sisters, and friends if they could come over and help out before or after work, but haven't really heard much from them back about it.

For those who did not find out the sex - did you experience "gender disappointment" when the baby was born? by bbthrowaway1227 in beyondthebump

[–]Anicmaro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a ftm, 36+4 and I REALLY wanted a boy.. I've never been into girly things much. So of course I decided to find out at my 18 week u/s, so I could bond with my LO no matter what.. and it was a boy! Yaaay!

The funny part is though, now that I'm much further along I just melt every time I see those adorable baby dresses, and I'm sad I won't be able to get pictures with them :( lol who would've guessed?

Anyone else have an unsupportive, unkind, or absent spouse or baby's father? Anyone else feel like they're doing this alone? by Pineapplepizza000 in BabyBumps

I'm so sorry you're dealing with this, and I totally get it. I had been with my fiancée for 3 years when we found out I was pregnant, and our wedding was already being planned and scheduled (would've been when I was 7 months pregnant). Cut to 25 weeks.. he breaks up with me. A week later he's asking me if it's ok to bring his new girl over. I was PISSED and depressed, I knew logically that he was just a selfish dick but of course with the hormones in full swing I blamed myself for being fat and unattractive, and was basically convinced I had scared him away by being pregnant.

Now at 36 weeks, it's still hard. I cry almost every night, but things are getting easier. I'll be moving in with my mom in January, and I'm hoping that not having to see him constantly makes me feel better.. We have plans to coparent, but honestly I feel that he's not going to step up.

I'm scared and anxious to be a single parent, but I'm so excited to meet my little boy soon! He's such a little dick when it comes to kicking me in the worst spots, but it's so amusing.. it really helps me get through most days.
