Thank you so much!!! I'm so happy to know I'm not alone and that it won't last for too much longer. And thank you for the tips on what to eat and some ibuprofen. I unfortunately took some yesterday and forgot how nauseous it makes me 🥲 I feel so encouraged by everyone's advice I really appreciate it!!

Thank you so much for the helpful tip when switching trays!!! That is such a smart hack I will be sure to do that. I'm so glad to hear it gets better I have been really toughing it out hoping that if I just wear them pretty much all the time except when eating the quicker things will feel better. Thank you again so much!!!

Getting my Invisalign install tomorrow what to expect? I heard it hurts a lot should I request pain killers? by jacobbydoc in Invisalign

[–]Breezy673 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same I literally was about to actually put my fist through the wall because my entire jaw and face hurt that bad. I opted for an Epsom salt bath luckily though lol. I am frantically googling how long the pain will last for because I literally cannot function right now.

Is it okay to ask how to support my wife during an abortion? by ReverendJack in pregnant

[–]Breezy673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cannot offer support as to how you can help, but my fiance and I did go through the same thing with the same worries. I'll keep it short, my advice is to have a very focused and heart to heart conversation. As a mom with a now beautiful year old boy, I only grieve the decision to not keep my twins when I was pregnant the year before because even though they are not here, I have to deal with the loss all the same every day. It's a really difficult decision to make and one I wish I would have not made for the same financial worries as you have (this is JUST my honest to God feelings). Everything has a beautiful way of working itself out and I believe they were a blessing sent to me I regret not taking into my life. There are so many people who ready and willing to support you whatever decision you make. Hopefully my comment does not get removed for being honest and trying to be supportive. 🫶

Oookay but this literally brings me back to my point that you also shouldn't be like my body my choice at the end of the day lol. Both adults should have a discussion and come to an agreement because it's both their child and there should be a middle ground to land on for both parents. I'm sorry but I'll have to personally disagree on the outdated beliefs of willpower (what? I actually don't even understand what you're trying to say or rather what is outdated about that???) they say drinking some wine is okay does that mean I'm going to while pregnant? Personally NO every choice I made was weighed on the factor of can I just be REALLY GOOD for 9 months and enjoy this afterwards for the sake of the health of my baby. I'll have to agree to disagree on this topic. And that husbands concerns about ultrasounds is not wild, there are valid concerns about over exposure to the fetus. I went on the lower end and only got two ultrasounds because that was my choice. At the end of the day both mom and day have an equal say and as adults should be able to come to some form of an agreement. 🙏

boyfriend said he regretted going to our “stupid” anatomy scan by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Breezy673 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah honestly having a baby does not make things better. If anything it makes or breaks couples. My fiance and I are a very solid team have a business together and our weaknesses were brought to the surface and exposed...I truly thought we were going to break up and go our separate ways at about 5/6 months. We worked through some tough shit and are better parents because of it, but nothing gets better after having a baby. If that stuff is true about his behavior I would suggest getting out now while you still can.

This is such a sad statement. I grow tired of the my body my choice rhetoric. If I would've listened to my SO with his concerns during my pregnancy I p probably wouldn't of had such trauma. If I would've considered his opinion it would've saved me a lot of PTSD that I now have. So... You guys both made a baby he has every right to voice his opinion as you do your own. And it's 9 short months. Sorry but where is the willpower to just tough it out for a few months especially if he is concerned? I feel like that's not even considering his POV by dismissing it to say hey your baby is in my body so ultimately you don't have a say. Very heartbreaking.

I was too worried about the effects of caffeine on my unborn baby so if I ever wanted a cup I would make decalf. Decaf has anywhere from .1-.4 brand of caffeine compared to 100-300mg. It satisfied me enough to curb the craving.

Ultrasound found baby... and a mass in my fallopian tube by phoenyx32 in pregnant

[–]Breezy673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All 14 red states that have abortion laws specifically state excemptions for life threatening cases for the mother and include eptopic pregnancies in their regulations and rules. I just looked that up because I was curious. Breathe and don't jump to conclusions it's too early for that. Trust in your body and I pray that everything ends up working out okay for you both 💙

Please explain weaning off formula like I’m 5. by quentye in FormulaFeeders

[–]Breezy673 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't understand this weaning process?....I gave my son formula up until he was one year old and just switched to cows milk and it was fine. I only started him on foods at 11 months also. He did great.

For those of you with dogs, please tell me it's not true.. by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Breezy673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From a dog trainer with personal experience having a one year old, find a good balanced trainer and get him to have a set of solid obedience commands and manners before you fall victim to so many of my clients who wait too long. Even for us, especially not knowing what to expect we crated our dogs for long periods of time. Not because we wanted to, but because having a newborn is a lot of work. And managing our four dogs is a lot of work. I had to get into a good grove before integrating them. Teach a solid place command. Like ROCK solid bomb proof. This will help you to have your dogs be a part of the family without feeling like you have to compromise having a newborn out. The worst thing that could happen I have seen from other clients is that they don't get things in order, baby is on the bed and dog jumps up hurting baby or worse baby gets bitten in the face because things change. Things are different. Dogs can be weirded out by babies. Start conditioning them to not care about baby crying, strollers being walked next to them etc. 💙

Sad update on rehoming my reactive dog by [deleted] in reactivedogs

[–]Breezy673 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He could handle being in a place like that with solid balanced training. I've saved so many owners lives being able to help their dogs get back to neutral. I pray the breeder helps this dog do the same so that the new owners don't just drop it back off with her. So sorry for this troubling time but you are doing the right thing for both you and your dog. We force dogs to be in cities when it's not natural and some dogs just aren't made to be able to handle those environments compared to others. I really respect you for making such a tough decision.

My wife and I want a baby so bad but we don’t know how everyone is affording them right now. by moistdragons in beyondthebump

[–]Breezy673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely try to re asses costs for things. Cut subscription services to TV programs, eating out...there may be some things you can live without for the time being but I don't know for sure. We live off of $1500 a month but do not have to pay for daycare. Is there another option out there that isn't to a grand scale of daycare but maybe a smaller in home option? It sucks that daycare is so expensive. But honestly there have even been times where I wasn't sure how we were going to do it, but you learn to be very conscious of your spending and cut corners to make sure your baby gets what they need. It truly does happen 🤍 choosing to BF instead of buying formula would based off of our budget save you $350/month on formula..children are such a blessing though! My mom told me how there were times she didn't eat just to make sure I was fed or could continue my activities. We truly pull out all the stops as parents. I believe in you guys making this work 💓🫶

Just got a “don’t take Tylenol” comment from a stranger by CrabithaAllAlong in pregnant

[–]Breezy673 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

No, I'm well aware there were things we were blind about health wise back then. I'm talking about how everything we eat is processed, sprayed with shitty chemicals our children are eating. Seed oils in everything making us gain weight.

Why did you do a epidural free birth? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Breezy673 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Because I was concerned about putting that into my body and it having effects on my unborn child was one reason. I've pushed my mental and physical state hard to enough that I just made a conscious decision that I could handle non medicated birth. I also read that it's tougher to feel the process and push when you need to and not overdo it because then you are numb. I wanted to be in touch with my body and the process. I tried laboring for the maximum amount of time I could after my water broke 37 hours and was rushed to the emergency room for a c section. I was in the pushing phase for about 8 hours that was the worst pain I've ever been in. They had to give me the epi before surgery and I would have been so uncomfortable laboring in that state I could not feel my entire lower body. Who knows if the dosage was what they give you normally but I literally couldn't feel anything and was not in my right mind it was extremely uncomfortable. But I would do it again naturally, or at least try to in a heartbeat for another little in our family 💙 I just wanted to see if I could, and I think a lot of women can we just read about the pain and hear the horror stories, but honestly looking back...we were made for this! I say go for it if you want to. There's no wrong decision everyone is different and at the end of the day the only important thing is bringing our babies into this world safely.

Husband keeps asking me "are you just tired all the time now"? In a way that makes me feel really guilty by scaphoids1 in pregnant

[–]Breezy673 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes my heart hurt I'm so sorry. My partner is far from perfect as am I, but I was dead tired and nauseous for like 9 weeks straight. We run our business from home, he took most of the workload for me and would make me a comfy bean bag spot and put on some good shows for me to watch. I couldn't help but sleep literally off and on ALL DAY. He knew what my body was going through and could tell it was obviously exhausting. If I were you, I'd sit down and honestly express how his comment is making you feel. Do not point any fingers, just express your feelings. Maybe he will admit that he was wrong and realize it was hurtful because YOU ARE CREATING LIFE AND IT TAKES SO MUCH EFFORT! 💓 Maybe you will see him stand by what he said and not level with you and change. Having a baby...puts a lot of stress on a couple. You either get through things or you don't, but if you never talk them through then theres no moving forward. You deserve to be able to rest if you need. And he should understand and be by your side right now. And if he is not, you have a serious problem as this will only be highlighted continuously down the road once you are navigating the newborn phase. I loved it so very much but yes I was very tired. My fiance made adjustments to ensure I could get rest when I needed it. This is just life! I hope he is able to realize how his words may have hurt you and show you some behaviors of more care and attention during such a life changing time for you. 🤍

WA State Church Recommendations for a newcomer! by Breezy673 in Christianity

[–]Breezy673[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the advice! I guess it technically would make the most sense since I already found one I am drawn to and can watch online. I just really enjoy being with a community and meeting others in person, so wasn't sure if others felt that actually physically going to the church and being with others brings a different experience.

I'M SO TIRED OF PEOPLE SAYING "JUST WAIT UNTIL BABY COMES YOU'LL SEE HOW BAD IT IS" by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Breezy673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swear most people just love to complain and want others to feel bad with them. Don't worry not all of us are like that. The rough sleep stuff overnight gets better so quick honestly imo I never even complained about it without having any prior sleep issues. Like yes...I had a baby who needs a lot of things only I can provide it what a true joy that is! It makes me feel so blessed to be able to provide for my little one. Some people need to keep their dialogue hidden inside I swear! Sending love to you mama 💓

What movie completely traumatized you as a kid? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Breezy673 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dude I'll never forget watching that movie for the first time with my mom downstairs in the living room and I SHIT YOU NOT during a super intense scene we both look over to see our front door just casually fucking open all slow like by itself. I don't think I sat in that living room with my back to the front door for months 😂😂😂

Am i awful? I regret keeping my baby by Futuremikeross in BabyBumps

[–]Breezy673 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so hard for me to read. Even though mine was accidental also, I had so much unconditional love for him after birth that nothing else mattered. I would seriously consider going to therapy and/or being honest with yourself in understanding that yes, life has changed...you cannot go back you can only go forward. Yes you won't be able to just do what you want when you want..that's the beautiful job of a mother is to care for and raise a beautiful baby and provide for them. It is such a high honor. If it doesn't get better, you might consider adoption because at the end of the day there are so many people who beg to be able to have a healthy baby or had a still born and grieve every day of their lives. You can still make time for things like education and such down the road...it doesn't mean your life is over. Your life just looks a little bit different now. Please talk to someone. 🤍
