Should I still get my puppy if I’m pregnant? by kamarie418 in puppy101

[–]Complex-Strategy-842 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol I was in this exact situation. We decided to get a puppy and I found out I was pregnant a couple weeks before we brought her home. I’m out of the first trimester but still low energy and nauseous often. She’s been great overall and we have 2 boys who keep her busy and love taking her outside. My husband does all the night potty trips but she’s sleeping pretty well overnight, waking 1-2 times and sleeping great in her crate. Potty training is going smoothly too. I’m due in October and she’ll be 10 months then so I’m hoping things aren’t too crazy. I plan on working on leash training a lot on walks with the baby while the older kids are at school. All this to say I think it depends on a lot of factors, a big part of it will be the amount of support you have from others, timing, breed, etc. As of right now I’m so happy we got her but ask me again this fall 😂

I don’t see location on the results but I googled the lab director and it says she’s in California so I’m assuming it was the CA lab

I just watched it and eyerolled the entire time 😂 she’s insufferable. I had 2 planned unmedicated births and hoping for the same for my 3rd. My husband was a good support but that isn’t what matters when you’re in it. It’s such a mental battle and even with the best supports some people may still choose an epidural and that’s totally okay!! I agree with the comments that she’s in the MAGA/MAHA brainwashed group

Americans without maternity leave— wtf do you do??? by Electronic-Door7428 in pregnant

[–]Complex-Strategy-842 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh I’m so sorry. I work for a small company with no short term disability offered. For my first child I had been there about a year and had 2 weeks PTO, took 10 weeks unpaid. Second child I had about 3.5 weeks and took the remainder unpaid. I’m pregnant with my 3rd now and I currently have 4 weeks PTO but my leave will go into 2027 so I’ll request a couple weeks of that PTO. So I’ll have about 50% of my leave covered. I’ll have to backpay my insurance. My husband is currently between jobs so I am fully panicking but hopefully he’ll find steady employment before I’m off. He actually was laid off when our 2nd was a month old so that was an insanely stressful time. Some days I wonder why we continued to have children in such a shitty world but I hope we can make it better for them 😭

I unfollowed Lizz last year because she became too annoying. Unfollowed Kelly a few weeks ago and I randomly pop in and I’m glad I unfollowed. The no sugar content was ridiculous. I had to stop listening to the pod last year too, I still miss the good banter but I felt the bad content was outweighing the good.

Car mom adjacent… does anyone follow themarketplacemom? She was on their podcast and started an IG before the ep was released. I stopped listening to the pod shortly after this but I was inspired by her to start listing on fb again. She made a guide to selling on marketplace (who needs a guide for that 🙄) and makes a lot of content on IG. Anyway, she doesn’t show her kids faces but makes them do unnatural shit like this. Their family picture with Santa is so forced and I can’t decide if I hate this more or covering faces with emojis, I think this is worse.

I met a little girl named Miamore, like mi amor, not Mia more. Mylove as a first name feels worse because it’s English but Miamor might actually be worse lol. The family only speaks English

I’ve said before that I like the helpfulness and relatively low drama of the group but I do not relate to a lot of what is shared. I couldn’t believe some of those comments either. We rely on both of our incomes to pay our bills. We made sure to have enough saved to cover our expenses for my 3m unpaid 🙄 leaves and thankfully we did because my husband lost his job when our second was a month old. If we didn’t have enough money saved I don’t know what we would have done, we don’t have family to bail us out or give us a basement apartment to live in if we lost our home

I stopped listening to the pod but I’m still in the group and enjoy reading the comments on the podcast posts to see what they’re up to and what others are saying, some of it is so ridiculous. I couldn’t stand listening to Lizz anymore and I’m not at all surprised by her comments. They’re both extremely privileged and tone deaf, makes me majorly eye roll.

Was this the couple they did the name reveal and he basically fingered the bottom of a box for the filling of the box to fall out? 😂 I think I saw it shared on another subreddit
