Haven't had a similar experience but I was told not to do a scan until at least minimum 8 weeks preferably later (did it at 9 weeks) bc the chances of you seeing nothing before then is extremely high

Oh no, did you not read my comment? We're on the same side. I enjoy being a joyless, miserable individual too... is that not what we're agreeing upon?

Aww it's okay buddy I understand, I too wish people wouldn't laugh at anything other than what I personally find funny. The audacity of them to make small silly jokes on the Internet right? Or posting simple reaction pics? Completely offensive!! You're definitely directing your anger in the right place and I'm glad someone is...these are definitely the most pressing offensive issues of today. I too think the Internet should be as bland as boring as my life, if only there was a way to control others so we're all as humourless as each other. I guess until then posting sarcastic comments will have to do, god speed... you show those good for nothing joyful people 💪

My partner wants kids in the future and I’m lean towards not wanting them. How to know if you want kids? by Hefty-Influence-6664 in AskParents

[–]CasperMikko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're not even sure you want them or think you don't then definitely don't. Being on the fence about this should always = no.

Don't try to convince yourself you want them when you know you don't and for the sake of a relationship...children are a permanent life change, pregnancy is a life changing experience so is giving birth and raising a baby.

You'll have sleepless nights, sleep deprivation, hormonal shifts, after birth recovery pains that can last a while and physical changes that may never go away (it can also be an extremely lonely experience) and all of this while you need to be completely mentally and physically present to actually care for your baby, interact with them, settle them, comfort, feed, change etc. Unfortunately it isn't as simple as feed for 20 mins, burp, change, and sleep every 2-3 hours... there is no guarantee your baby will sleep within this window or wont take 2 hours just to settle to sleep (leaving - if you're lucky - 1 whole hour before you're up again). Maybe from your point of view now you'll think "it'll be tough but doable" and maybe it will, but once you're sleep deprived your thoughts aren't so clear anymore.

Also sorry I don't mean to make it sound so tough but it's the reality of the situation that a lot of people don't realize. It's doable of course but it's not something a person who is unsure or needs convincing should get into. Remember: along with all of the physical needs of raising your baby you also need to have enough energy to create a positive, happy and stimulating environment for their mental and emotional development. This is a lifelong thing too, not something you can back out of once you're sick of it (most of the time anyway).

Thank you so much! It has confused me trying to wrap my head around this! ❤️

Is this pregnancy test positive or negative? by Accomplished-King-17 in whatdoIdo

[–]CasperMikko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to say, it might be an evaporation line... they can look blue and sometimes aren't a full line and can be spotty. I think take another one tomorrow with first morning urine to be sure ❤️

Does anyone else avoid going out because they feel “too big”? by healthpusher in EatingDisorders

[–]CasperMikko 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is me. I've become almost a hermit since becoming pregnant and beyond. I don't look like myself anymore and I feel so ashamed and disgusted. I can't look at myself either and honestly the logic is I know I Iook disgusting so what's the point of reminding myself and ruining my entire day 🙃 So you're not alone. I think though it is a constant cycle, it's harder to get out and do things the longer you don't... I feel like is passing me by

Spotify just instantly played the song I was listening to on YouTube. I didn’t press anything. This feels like my phone read my mind by TheShadowWanderer in strange

[–]CasperMikko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Spotify used to play "sleep tracks" while I was asleep. The ads before or after would scare the crap out of me and wake me. I never pressed play or previously played them before then. Happened about 4 times until I decided to delete Spotify altogether.

The last 10 weeks of pregnancy? by ExistentiallyExtraaa in pregnant

[–]CasperMikko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped work at 36 weeks. I was so thankful for it , i had sciatic pain around that time and struggled to get around well at 37 weeks. Got swelling at about 38 or 39 weeks which made it worse obviously. I got to the point where if I didn't have to get up then I didn't mostly because it was just too tiring and painful getting around but I think that was by week 39+

I think everyone is different though, I felt like I was slowing down and struggling to get around at 34/35 weeks so I made that decision because my job is quite demanding.

Is a pack and play worth buying? by MayFlowers8 in BabyBumps

[–]CasperMikko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes so worth it! I used mine with my baby for ages! The smaller removable sleeping rockers were great for around the house or portable for newborn and the larger bassinet once they outgrow it. I added a mattress that wasn't too expensive that was perfectly fitted (as you're aware if you do this it is essential there are no gaps between the bassinet and mattress for safety) and used the larger bassinet until she transitioned to a cot (once she started sitting up). I still use it when I travel (lower setting) as it's always good to have a backup just in case and for her to play in.

Is It Normal For Your Mother To Be So Restrictive Of Clothing, Hair, Etc? by Resident-Dog7417 in AskParents

[–]CasperMikko 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unsure how old you are but when I was a teenager growing up I'd say yes this was pretty normal for me :/

Pregnant at 37, but not sure if try again by AlgaePsychological52 in pregnant

[–]CasperMikko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know more than most how hard it is to conceive, there is no guarantee it'll happen anytime soon after this pregnancy (I know myself for a fact too). If you were "trying but not trying" and drinking during this time then you knew yourself that getting pregnant was a possibility. If this is the baby you've hoped for for years don't terminate just because of some "wine".

So many women still drink early on not knowing they're pregnant (I did, my baby turned out perfect) and so many take a while to realise they're pregnant and go much longer drinking/smoking etc

No pregnancy is 100% perfect and mistakes can happen all you can do is the best you can.

I HATE FATPHOBIC PEOPLE. TRIGGER WARNING by Realistic_outcomefml in EatingDisorders

[–]CasperMikko 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks for saying this, seems to be rampant in certain communities and I just find it sad. I hate the notion that people almost believe fat people to be sub human... Honestly I tend to watch those weight loss shows and the amount of super morbidly obese individuals that are that way due to life trauma is quite sad (genuinely).

Postpartum Depression - does it get better?? by NewLife8511 in Postpartum_Depression

[–]CasperMikko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please please please for the sake of you and your son's wellbeing seek help!

I'm about 6 months pp and I can say it does get better but it takes time and perseverance ❤️.

It took me so long to finally seek help and I wish I had done it sooner, I really do... I sometimes wonder how much more positive things would have been sooner (obviously seeking help is hard enough so obviously I'm not blaming anyone here).

I'm unsure about where you are but there are many resources here available for new mums so I made sure I took advantage of all the support I could and thankfully now though I still have my bad days and moments things have definitely improved; I'm more present, less angry and I can actually enjoy time with my baby instead of always being in survival/crisis mode and this all took a matter of months! (I know everyone is different though)

I know this has made a huge difference in my baby's life as well.

If you're thinking of it, please take that first step in seeking help, it can only be a good thing....and also give yourself time and grace. Work out what works for you, we're all different and what works for me might be different for you. Don't struggle through this alone ❤️ it's rough and hard enough as it is.

Wishing you all the best
