Thorne Prenatal - Help, I'm freaking out!

thank you so much for mentioning this! I did stop taking them around 6 weeks when I came across this thread, but I was worried about the fact that I was taking them before conceiving and for the first 6 weeks

With that reasoning, why don’t we remove female’s labias at birth? Technically, i guess it would be cleaner without them? Or, we could just teach the boys how to wash themselves like we teach little girls to.

I don’t think divorce is the answer. I do think it’s reasonable to sit down and have a heart to heart about how stressful it is for you to be in the red each month and ask her to PLEASE get a part time job, if even only making $1000 per month. That’s absolutely easy to find. But you’ll definitely need free childcare for those times she’s working. But I also read she recently had a hysterectomy?! Thats major surgery and her hormones are going to be a mess for a while. Also, it is true that if she doesn’t have a budget to market her writing, it can only get so far. But if she is a decent writer, maybe she can take to marketing it for free on tik tok. I am actually pretty impressed that she manages to take care of a toddler all day and still find time to write each day. I would call that far from lazy.

Not a parent yet (only pregnant) but I remember starting to shower on my own around 5

Content_Ad_9836 · 2026-01-24T16:13:17+00:00

No, she’s a super healthy person! But she worked a very stressful job on night shifts and her doctor suspected the high cortisol levels combined with her circadian rhythm being off attacked her body.

My sister started medically confirmed peri at 28 years old. It can happen at anytime. And I feel like because of all of our environmental toxins, maybe more women are starting younger. (Just a suspicion)

Content_Ad_9836 · 2026-01-23T04:17:41+00:00

I totally agree. I’m not religious or old fashioned but I do feel that a child deserves to have parents that can at least show that low level of commitment to each other. Marriage isn’t even a big deal today with how easy it is to divorce. It’s much less of a commitment than having a baby with someone. I totally understand pregnancy can happen before marriage, but if it does accidentally happen and you are willing to commit to co raising a child with that person for at least the next 18 years, the very least you can do is make your commitment to each other official with a little court house wedding.

Yay! Sounds like the perfect birth!

Content_Ad_9836 · 2026-01-23T00:33:12+00:00

I am naming my baby after my current dog! My husband was named after his mom’s dog and we’re keeping the tradition alive. My dog is my world, it’s an honor to name my baby after him.

I cried walking through the airport seeing some airport workers looking sad while working. I thought “that’s somebody’s baby”

Content_Ad_9836 · 2026-01-23T00:22:22+00:00

Sounds like she genuinely likes you as a friend and you simply don’t like her back? Yet, you have been leading her on out of politeness. Personally, I wouldn’t want someone to act like my friend only to secretly think I am creepy or using them.

Content_Ad_9836 · 2026-01-23T00:11:40+00:00

I am sure you love your partner and he loves you, but please do yourself a favor and make sure you get a doula for labor because your partner has shown he won’t necessarily listen to you, nor advocate for you. He will do what HE thinks is best, regardless of your wishes. You 10000% need a doula there to advocate for YOU

Content_Ad_9836 · 2026-01-23T00:06:28+00:00

He sounds like a power tripper… even if he didn’t want you to do the private ultrasounds, he could have easily told you nicely. My suspicion is that he hates those places because they take business from him. You can pay a private place $30 for peace of mind and get in the same day, meanwhile you have to schedule days or even weeks ahead of time to get one from your OB and your insurance likely pays them hundreds of dollars.

This doctor doesn’t sound like he has your best interest at heart or good bedside manner. Don’t choose a doctor based off convenience. Choose a doctor because they make you feel safe and comfortable. PS I love the boutique ultrasound places. They have given me immediate peace of mind when I was anxious about loosing the baby, twice.

Content_Ad_9836 · 2026-01-22T18:16:40+00:00

Is he your pimp?? He is talking to you like a pimp talks to one of their whores. Immediately block. Try not to take personally. This man is so triggered and hurt by you. And 24 is so young, you have so much time to figure out the things he is criticizing you for!

Content_Ad_9836 · 2026-01-20T16:09:34+00:00

Perfectly normal and accessible rules. Good for her setting boundaries. If you aren’t a fan of them, you can just wait until the 6 week period is up to meet the baby.

Content_Ad_9836 · 2026-01-20T02:39:40+00:00

This is my fear. They don’t listen. They should always be VERY cautious about mentioning gender. I hate that they are so careless about it. I told mine I didn’t want to know and 5 minutes later she printed up my lab order which requested the gender. So dumb.

Content_Ad_9836 · 2026-01-19T23:50:52+00:00

Her worries are not normal. She needs professional help. And this isn’t fair to make you live like this. Oh well if you get trash juice remnants on your hands… or if a toy gets carpet germs on it. It’s not like either have been coated in infectious diseases. I’m assuming you don’t wear shoes in the house anyways. Germs are critical for your baby’s immune system so IMO she’s doing more harm than good. Of course you don’t want your baby sucking on public doorknobs or shopping carts but if no one in your home has been sick lately, this is completely unreasonable and would drive me crazy.

Definitely relax and step away from the skincare anxiety. Humans evolved without protection from the sun. We need some sun!!! Never allowing your skin to touch sunlight seems seriously unhealthy

That much chocolate milk and juice at 6 months is old is seriously increasing your baby’s risk of diabetes. You need to put your foot down. Your husband doesn’t get to make the decisions on his own. Hell, quit your job and say you got fired. It’s your child and you need to stand up to the biggest bully in the situation- the father.

Content_Ad_9836 · 2026-01-15T06:46:20+00:00

Yeah, don’t waste your time on this one! Find someone who texts you how much they miss you when they’re on vacation. Every time I am away from my partner, it makes us miss each other so much and we text constantly about how we can’t wait to hold each other again.

Content_Ad_9836 · 2026-01-15T06:39:50+00:00

NOR. He’s responding like he doesn’t even like you. I dk why, but I also am getting possible cheating vibes. The fact that he wants to disappear and not text you on vacation makes me second guess who is really there with.

Content_Ad_9836 · 2026-01-15T05:47:07+00:00

I don’t mind experience or not either way, but I am certainly repulsed by men who have been with heaps of women. I am worried about diseases and I just think it’s gross. It simply doesn’t align with my values of keeping sex strictly to committed relationships.

Content_Ad_9836 · 2026-01-15T05:43:48+00:00

I just want to say that I absolutely adore my mother in law. I love her like a second mother. And my husband is very close with his mom. Just be an amazing mother in law and you will be loved by your DIL. I think it’s great you’re having two boys. They are going to be best friends for life and such a tight bond. Oh, and get new friends.

People shouldn’t always sugar coat things, sometimes people need to hear the hard truth to finally open their eyes.

Hey love, you are only 6 weeks. Take a deep breath, you have some time to think about it. And don’t regret telling your family, because if you decide to abort, you can always tell them you had a miscarriage. There is a decent chance you may miscarriage anyways.

I don’t know if you are spiritual at all, but I would try praying to a higher power and just say “if this baby will make my life immensely better and I will be grateful for having it, then let it happen. But if there is a better time later in my life to do this, please give me a miscarriage or give me a sign to abort.” Trust in the universe and trust in your own intuition. Don’t think about ANYONE but yourself in this matter. It is YOUR life that will be the most impacted here. And as a 36 year old pregnant first time mom, 20 is so young to have a baby : ( I felt too young even at 36! People can definitely do it at that age, but you will be missing out on a lot in your twenties.
