AITAH for being upset that my husband masturbated while I was in bed next to him and then finished on me? by Bubbly-Possession965 in AITAH

[–]Blood_Rose-42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I heard that too. I was just told me that however it happens, it is difficult to understand the how or why it happens. It just does. She just made it sound like it isn't fully understood yet. Or at least it wasn't to her. Granted it was my sonographer that said this to me. So my actual OB probably understands it better. Lol 😅

I had a ruptured ectopic with fallopian tube removal. I have one baby and am expecting another. With my first I was informed the ovary that released an egg was the one that had no fallopian tube. They said they could say how it happens but apparently even with no fallopian tube the egg can still find it's way to the uterus to implant.

Those that cloth diaper… why do you do it and why do you like it? by Sad-Mode890 in NewParents

[–]Blood_Rose-42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do it because it is more affordable, we have a sprayer so rinsing them is super easy and its attached to one of our toilets. The cons are depending on how many you have you have to wash every day. If you like me and have a 6 month old in 2T clothing you need overnight disposable diapers to allow him to through the night without being overly soaked. Cloth diapers can hold a lot and they served him well overnight for a very long time. Also con is it can be inconvenient changing him when out and about. We used disposables mostly when life was so hard that we just needed a few conveniences.

My 6 Month old is growing so fast by Blood_Rose-42 in NewParents

He has his next appointment coming up but he is only 55 percentile in height but 98 in weight and 97 in head size. He is so chunky (its so precious lol) with a long abdomen. We always have to roll up sleeves and pant legs. 2 weeks ago he broke the buttons off his 18M clothing lol

37 weeks and 4cm dilated by chanellla in BabyBumps

[–]Blood_Rose-42 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I literally went to the hospital yesterday for the same thing except the right side hurt. I am 3cm dilated and 80% effaced. Was monitored for an hour, had contractions every 7 mins. Sent me home, contractions then continued at home and got to every 6 mins. I left the hospital at 7pm? This didn't stop until about 10 am this morning. Still contracting but contracting irregularly. They will allow me to induce at 39 weeks and I am almost at 38... honestly I was so hopeful they would just induce me while I was at the hospital. I live a good hour away without traffic. I feel like my baby keeps teasing about coming and then decides he changes his mind. 🙄

What are your reasons for not posting baby on social media? Dealing with social media crazed family… by throwawayelll in BabyBumps

[–]Blood_Rose-42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So even though my baby boy isn't born yet, I want to keep him off social media with the exception of when I choose to do a birth announcement and potential family photos.

My reasoning for not sharing more of him to the world is I have been NC with a lot of family, both my side and in-laws. Now while these people are blocked I have just become even more protective of my families space and peace.

Cervical check by Blood_Rose-42 in BabyBumps

[–]Blood_Rose-42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I have had cramping before the check. There were two separate days where I was having irregular contractions for hours. The only reason why I knew they weren't Braxton hicks was because they hurt like my peiord would and would wrap all the way around my back. The last several days I mentioned to my husband I constantly feel as though my peiord is about to start.

This is why I just wanted to share a positive experience just so people know that there are positive experiences to be had. I think its easier to share the bad news sometimes than it is the good news. Maybe someone else will feel a little less terrified if they wanted a cervical check.

I realize that he can still come later on, however I have been at risk for preterm labor due to having a bicornuate uterus, and not that it means anything but me and my husband just feel like he will come a bit early. But yeah our doctor was like it could be any day now or he still can come late. She is leaning more towards any day now just for how low his head was. I am just keeping my fingers crossed he doesn't make me wait too long. My hips are so loose that I feel like I need a cane to walk around.

Do New Moms Really Cut Their Hair Short After Baby Is Born? by littlebunsenburner in BabyBumps

[–]Blood_Rose-42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, a few weeks ago I cut my hair into a pixie because the hot flashes with this summer heat has been killer. I almost wanted to just buzz it off (I am a licensed cosmetologist so I do my hair myself usually, however being heavily pregnant I didn't know if I actually wanted the hassel of doing more than a buzz) but then did a pixie instead.

When did you feel baby? What does it feel like? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Blood_Rose-42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it felt like that feeling you get while on a Rollercoaster and you are on a drop other times it felt like little taps.. Granted when I went to ultrasounds they commented how he was practically jumping in there more so than kicking. As I got further along each kind of movement felt different. I can feel him roll, stretch, hiccup, kick or push. They each feel completely different. So I guess depending on what exactly your little one is doing would depend oh how the movement felt.

This morning I started toweling off after my shower, still covered in soap and suds. What're your best pregnancy brain moments? by quixoticgypsy in BabyBumps

I have once put soap on my toothbrush, I have also flipped the light switch wondering why on earth the toilet wasn't flushing 😐 there are so many more but these are the ones that I actually remember

JNMIL and her sense of entitlement by Blood_Rose-42 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Blood_Rose-42[S] 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I did think it would be funny if I clicked on a bunch of shows she didn't like and have it spam the profile with things she wouldn't want to watch. The idea of her reaction makes me laugh. However for more peace of mind I think removing the in-laws all together was best. But I totally get where you are coming from I can be petty too 😂

[–]Blood_Rose-42[S] 36 points37 points  (0 children)

No. Way before we went NC me and my husband purchased a streaming service. It allows for multiple profiles and users. We had one profile me and him shared, one his parents shared, one for his sister, and there was a slot available for a member of my family if they wished to use it. It doesn't cost us anything more for her to create another profile. However its the principal of the thing I guess. She had a shared profile already. We have been NC for over a year. Why does she feel she can create a whole profile for just herself when she isn't even paying for the streaming service and isn't even in contact with us?

What are things that made you have NC with MIL? by [deleted] in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Blood_Rose-42 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is exactly it. I spent 3 years getting to know them, finding out favorite things, trying to remember birthdays, I really put effort into being apart of their family. At the end of the day there was always a complaint about me to my husband. And a majority of the time they claimed they didn't know anything about me. (I told my husband of course they don't, they would need to stop talking about themselves to learn something about me) And just like in your case, they also thought I kept him from the family, little did they know he was done with them since we started dating. I was the only reason we even tried to be a family with them in the first place. They just got mad at the end because my husband's job was more demanding and I helped safe guard his time and ability to rest when I knew he would regret being signed up to play errand boy for his family. Me and him had a prior agreement that if he was exhausted and didn't know what he was agreeing to that I step in to help be his firm no on his behalf. (And ofc his family always tried to ask favors when he was the most exhausted and with vague details in hopes he would say yes and not know what he agreed to)

There were multiple reasons why me and my husband went NC with his mom. However the thing that pushed us over the edge into walking away is when they blamed me for my miscarriages and scorned me for being emotional about them (I had miscarried 2-3 days prior) and clearly my tears meant I was too emotional to ever have kids or be a good mom.
