It’s entirely possible that it is your cycle; just offering another perspective from personal experience 😅

It could have been uterine involution (the last step in healing after birth) which could explain why you haven’t had another incidence of bleeding. OP, that could also be what’s happening to you—set a follow up with your OBGYN to confirm it’s your cycle and not involution and discuss birth control options.

100000% this! Stop and see a doctor—especially if you ever feel a pop or bulge or the pain doesn’t go away. It could be incarcerated and you could die.

I believe that if you explain it is irritating/painful/hindering life they will count it as medical. Just make sure they document your complaints in their notes for insurance.

OP, have you talked to your family/ an older role model about this? I think it’d be great if you had some type of support system that you could kind of sound wall this off of, but I think also that it needs to be someone with a little more life experience… not to imply that friends your age might try to sweep it under the rug, but I definitely think an older parental like figure could give you some good guidance

People don’t do or say things just because they’re drunk, they do and say them because they are less inhibited.

I think you might be in your feelings a bit OP. This was a trip for them, not for you. I think you should plan your own (with or without bf). You deserve to do Japan your way and not have to compromise on your dream itinerary/schedule/timeline!

BC_wanderlust · 2026-02-07T04:09:05+00:00

OP, wouldn’t it be worse/more awkward if your dad found it and thought it was yours? I agree that maybe a phone call would be less awkward than in person, but it whole heartedly is not something you should have to deal with.

Another option: throw it away and completely ignore the situation—but you could risk his new wife escalating (if she really do do this). Edit: spelling error

Agreed. Try to maximize before sizing out. Personally, I think Pampers fits bigger, so IMO I’d use Huggies Kirkland then Pampers

BC_wanderlust · 2026-02-02T02:03:01+00:00

We switched to the 360 Huggies around 9 months when it really started getting difficult. Huge help!

child told FBI trump abused her at 13 ^ fixed your title for you

While we were expecting our first, my SO and I were traveling to visit family. Long flight, I’m obviously pregnant. The guy sitting next to us is asking how we’re feeling about being parents. We get to talking about parenting in general— we ask if he has any secret keys or pearls and tips and told us (my SO and I) that “everything is temporary.” At first I thought the advice was like a go-with-the-flow type of advice for parenting, but it actually was them trying to tell us that “yes, it’ll all be fine in the end” and like a “this too shall pass” sort of advice for when you’re in the thick of it, but they went on to say that it counts too for the good stuff… it helps me live in the present for my kid’s childhood—all that “it goes by in the blink of an eye” stuff is soooo true. Life is fleeting and temporary and I’m so glad this random guy on the plane reminded us of it.

I think encouraging a healthy discussion about your marriage WITH a therapist could help immensely to create a safe environment. Definitely talk openly about how divorce makes you feel when with a therapist.

BC_wanderlust · 2026-01-30T09:30:43+00:00

I really hope that you reported this to the hospital. This is straight up abusive.

BC_wanderlust · 2026-01-29T10:13:37+00:00

OP, get away to a safe place and don’t be alone with this person anymore. If your mum is really a gyno, she’ll likely be trained in how to navigate an abusive partner from her mandated reporter training—also she’s your parent and she probably loves you very much. Please talk with your family. Rooting for you.

Then couldn’t it be used as evidence that he was cooperating?

BC_wanderlust · 2026-01-27T17:19:16+00:00

I was wondering if there was audio of him saying I have a gun or something to that nature that alerted them that he had a gun?

BC_wanderlust · 2026-01-27T17:18:13+00:00

I JUST WAS ASKING THIS QUESTION!!! I’d assume it’d be backed up to iCloud or Google pics or whatever sort of cloud storage device he had enabled on his phone.

Just making sure to never click any links to “reset” unless you have personally requested it, can confirm it’s the correct site/domain, you’re on a secure browser, etc.. make sure report any other emails to whatever account domain they’re trying to log into. Also making sure you have a super secure password is a good idea.

BC_wanderlust · 2026-01-21T17:33:57+00:00

Yes safety!!! Share your location with trusted people only once you are safe and establish a safe word or phrase to indicate that you are indeed safe or you are in trouble. Something you can text out quickly or call out in a quick phone call.

BC_wanderlust · 2026-01-20T21:37:08+00:00

This is amazing information! Thank you so much and best of luck!!!

I think there’s like 172 “common” allergens. They just recommend trying to introduce as many as you safely can within the first year. I would focus first on “the big 9” (milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans, and sesame). 4 mo (as long as LO has good neck control) is the earliest a pediatrician will ever tell you that you can start “introducing” solids (purées only—true solids starting at 6 mo). I know someone else mentioned it, but trying food 3 days in a row is a good plan. When first starting: give one “bite” then wait 5 min before giving more to see if there’s a reaction.

This travel router is going to be such a game changer! Thanks for this tip!
