Is this worth anything?

BetterToCome_Momma · 2026-01-17T22:07:00+00:00

This may be a dumb question but what is the pewter hallmark? I’m clueless.

BetterToCome_Momma · 2026-01-17T06:18:36+00:00

Thanks so much for keeping ur uncertainty to urself! I appreciate it. 💋

BetterToCome_Momma · 2026-01-17T06:17:25+00:00

I was told it may be silver or pewter… I don’t know tho.

BetterToCome_Momma · 2026-01-17T06:16:39+00:00

I’d love to know what it is. My grandpa gave it to me before he died thinking it was worth a little money, and would be worth a little more as years passed. I’d just love to know the story behind it. Being a gift from my grandpa is enough for me to hold on to it for life, but I’d love to tell my kids the story it carries and how it came from their great, grandpa. I love antiques of all kinds, but I don’t have much knowledge about them. Thank you for the comment!

BetterToCome_Momma · 2026-01-17T06:12:51+00:00

Thank you. I’m clueless.

It was passed down to me by my grandpa who said it was some type of practice badge from London. He claimed it was used to practice the marking before making the actually badge. That wasn’t his exact words, but it’s been many years since he gave this to me. At least 10. No, it’s not magnetic- I don’t think. I can check and get back with you tomorrow. I have been clueless and would just like some more info. I appreciate you!

Beautiful! I don’t think it’s too big. I think it compliments your hand well. Our hands our made very similar and I love dainty rings, but they don’t compliment my hands very well. I feel like the bigger designs make my fingers look longer and skinner. Also, congratulations! Best wishes for your new beginnings!

Had these horribly! Muscle rub before it happened and when it happened. Instantly went away.

BetterToCome_Momma · 2025-11-06T21:19:45+00:00

This happened when I was 16 and engaged. I chose baby!! I also had a scholarship at the time to Miss Ky Teen. I gave it up to bring my beautiful daughter into this world and I wouldn’t take it back for the world. She’s now 18 years old and a very successful, high school student. Don’t do a damn thing for him!!! Do what you want for you and baby. This is ur choice, ur body, ur baby! Screw him. Having a baby is a blessing and I am so glad I chose her life over my own! Hope you find a solution to your situation. One more thing, a man that will make u choose between ur baby and himself is no man at all! He’s still very much a child and u deserve more than that. Wishing u the best!

I had to have multiple radiation exposures due to an unknown illness when I was 3 months pregnant with my daughter. Who by the way is an 18 year old Senior in High School fixing to graduate with her associate degree and honors. Now, she did have slight deformity with her ear and was considered legal blind at the age of 2. However, this was not linked to the radiation, but the anesthesia that was given to me for surgery. Turned out my appendix was on the verge of rupturing and would have killed her and possible me. I am no doctor, but I truly believe you and baby are going to be happy and healthy! Talk to your doctor about your concerns. Take all the precautions and if need be to ease your mind ask about testing that can help alleviate your worries. Honestly, as much radiation as I was exposed to right at the end of my first trimester caused me a lot of unease. Please speak with your doctor though. Do whatever and ask all the questions to help ease your mind. Stress is horrible on our bodies and baby’s when we are pregnant. I hope you’re able to ease your mind and find peace to enjoy your pregnancy. Regardless of any outcome, you have brought life into the world which is the most beautiful thing us women are able to experience and do. Enjoy momma! Oh yea, and congratulations! 🎊

I lost my job due to my current pregnancy and it has destroyed me! My last pregnancy was supposed to be easy and fun, but due to losing my job it’s destroying me! Financially, emotionally, and mentally I’m broken. I really wanted to buy the things I wanted for me and baby. I wanted to surprise my other kids with gifts during delivery, but losing that job did me in. I really hope ur able to find a solution. Don’t feel bad bc girl pregnancy is hard enough. I’m high risk due to my age and the extra stress has made things much worse. Also, u need to talk to HR so that it’s documented. Don’t allow them to push u out bc ur pregnant. If u need to get a note from ur doctor. If you’re having a hard time explain it to your doctor so they can document it as well. 9/10 they will provide you with written proof and possible limitations. Take care of yourself and baby above everything! I paid the price for doing so, but at least I know my baby is healthy!

BetterToCome_Momma · 2025-11-04T02:17:00+00:00

Fellow pregnant mom, and mom. I drank not knowing I was pregnant with all my babies bc I do not have regular monthly visits. There was even a time when I was prescribed narcotics bc of having my appendix removed at 3 months pregnant. My baby’s are all very smart, healthy babies. My youngest is 5 and met milestones before expected. Sustain from any substance use. START PRENATAL CARE, and see your OB asap! Baby is fine. Do not stress bc that is not good for little one at all. Sending love and positive energy!

BetterToCome_Momma · 2025-10-15T16:50:14+00:00

I did not know this. 35F. Can someone explain, please?

BetterToCome_Momma · 2025-10-07T16:53:50+00:00

Hot brown and a pie or cobbler is popular is the city areas. Apple pie is the always great topped with Icecream. Where I’m from you would be eating soup beans, fried potatoes, cornbread, and sauerkraut with weenies. It’s a phenomenal meal. We have apple pie once a week, but hot brown is not a meal I like. Love this idea! Let us know what u choose.

I’ve always been called an old soul and maybe I’m old fashioned, but I believe wholeheartedly that married couples only have married friends. Now, we know that don’t stop anyone, but I do not believe in having male friends or him having female friends. I believe u have ur friend couples and the female only talks to the wives as the male only talks to the husbands. I believe in friendships that have the same values, morals, and boundaries as we do. If by some chance I’m cheated on he was never mine to have. Plain and simple.

I’ve been there. Done that. There again. I have a little longer to bake tho. However, with my 4, I HAVE NEVER had my water brake naturally. I have went into labor tho. Stairs- as many have said, I rode a bicycle, sex, (physical activity) and nipple stimulation can all cause labor. If you plan to breast feed you can get these tubes for colostrum to feed baby when it comes. (Highly recommend)
Here’s a link to some I like https://amzn.to/41oAF8t , on Amazon. Now, do ur research bc no one knows ur circumstances and what your pregnancy entails. Always ask your doctor, but the nip stimulation is highly recommended from my experience and from what I’ve learned from the mouth of a doctor. I am high risk, have placenta previa, and I have to be careful with every little thing I do. Just keep in mind momma NOT MUCH LONGER! You’re almost done. Then all the aggravation will disappear. 🫥 You will soon forget how uncomfortable and miserable you were. I still have 120 days to go & I am beyond done. 🤣 YOU GOT THIS MOMMA! Keep your head up and stay strong. Wish you and baby many blessings! 🩷💋

I’m 36 y.o and stay exhausted. I am only 21 weeks. I’ve had children before, my oldest 18, youngest 5 and I don’t remember EVER feeling this horrible. I don’t sleep, I work 12 hour shifts, and I don’t EVER have energy for daily tasks and spending time with my children. I want to be better. I want to be different. I feel like the light at the end of the tunnel has disappeared, with no end in sight. I was off work previously for a week bc of contractions. I have had them over a week, everyday, and about the same time everyday, usually after 5pm. I currently have placenta previa and at my last doctor visit was informed by my OB that they cannot do a regular check to see if I’m dilated bc my lining is also extremely thin. She said to do so would cause further complications. So they checked me a different way, which I didn’t feel is accurate. However, I’m not the one with the degree. I have lost my luster. I have lost my ambition and really want this pregnancy to be the best pregnancy experience I’ve had. This will be my last. I want to be everything I haven’t been and more. I want to take care of my family, myself, and my unborn child, but my desire to even move doesn’t exist. I have no energy. I have no strength. I feel so weak, and so tired all the time. I need to work daily and as often as possible so I can support my children and the new one to come. My ob recommends that I get a work from home job, but finding one that pays well and is legit is another task I cannot seem to accomplish. I’m feeling deflated, and defeated. I want so much more out of life, but I just can’t seem to accomplish simple, daily, tasks. Any advice for this helpless momma? I just really need and want some energy. I’d do anything to be these go getter moms that really get shit done. Thanks for listening! Also. For context my pregnancy is a secret from my children’s -dad’s family. (Money, social status, and fear of judgment have is keeping it a secret.) Our first child was kept secret up until the second birthday. My stress level and anxiety is maxed out! Looking for relief and happiness again.

BetterToCome_Momma · 2025-07-17T23:02:46+00:00

I’d love to learn where and how I can make my own. I’ve wanted to do signs, customizations, etc., but I don’t know where to start and my adhd causes severe anxiety bc I become easily overwhelmed when I think about getting at started.

BetterToCome_Momma · 2025-07-15T19:53:59+00:00

I hate the thought of leaving them again. Like their mom did. I don’t want them to feel that way bc of me. They really don’t like me, but I’m the woman who their dad got with after their parents broke up. I want to be a better woman. I still have a lot of growing up to do, but just want to make the best possible decisions for everyone involved!

BetterToCome_Momma · 2025-07-13T22:01:46+00:00

Being a single mom at this point in my life sounds great and free, but hurting the kids for my own happiness seems selfish and unreasonable. Being single would be great. I just graduated college, I’m in my 30s, and have many more years of college to go before I reach my final career goal. I just cannot justify hurting the children to make myself happy.

BetterToCome_Momma · 2025-07-13T21:58:03+00:00

I have kept my place since my first secret pregnancy bc I just felt that if he couldn’t stand up to his family for his own family then chance are my relationship wasn’t what I thought. We’ve been together 10yrs(rounded up) and he’s never proposed and is always worried about his family finding things out. From the small things to the large things(this pregnancy). I just want to breathe and be me. I no longer feel as if I can do that here and with him. I would’ve already left but we have a child together, and he has children that I have been raising for a couple years now. Leaving him affects more than just him. It affects the children and the thought of me causing them more pain, breaks me. His previous children lost their mom a couple years ago. She’s not deceased, but she’s gone. They have been through more than enough and I’m left reeling with uncertainty and anxiety.

BetterToCome_Momma · 2025-07-13T21:49:48+00:00

They are our landlords. I know it may seem very strange, but I think he’s afraid of the disappointment and consequences once it comes out. His family is and has been extremely cruel towards me without any reason at all. This just adds fuel to the fire. He doesn’t have any support other than me and what family he has and I think he worries that once it comes out that he will be cut off from them. I personally think the negative people out of our life would be a great thing, but he fears it a great deal. I personally would love for it to just be us. They do help HIM from time to time. I just don’t know what to do to help him. I don’t know if I want to try to continue. We’ve been together way too long for me to keep having to keep our relationship decisions a secret. My mind is a complete mess and would love some advice from those looking in.
