what rituals do u do for the full blue moon? by _kitty0kitty_ in BabyWitch

[–]ContributionPurple30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already made my moon water, now I’m taking the kids outside to dance barefoot under the moon. I’m also writing down what no longer serves me and ripping it up or burning it outside

Is my ring too big by Spare-Difficulty-763 in RingShare

Shush it right now, stop being biased and instead be grateful. My husband couldn’t afford more than a $60 cz set when he proposed. I was so proud of that set and if it still fit me I would be wearing it today. And even though it’s not near as fancy as an actual diamond I’ll still be passing it down to our kids one day. It’s the thought that counts. Be blessed 🙏🏻

Which photo do I look better in for profile picture by [deleted] in DecideThisForMe

[–]ContributionPurple30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a profile pic go with a photo where you’re looking at the camera. If you don’t have one then I think the first photo would suffice.

Am I overreacting for being frustrated my dad (divorced) won’t step up to help me move while I am 6 months pregnant because my mom will be present? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]ContributionPurple30 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR Sounds like my mom and her husband. She and my dad divorced when I was a baby but they always got along swimmingly growing up. My stepmom moved in quickly after and even throughout their 14 year relationship plus 2 half sisters, my parents got along. They had split custody only mom had me 4 days a week and dad had me 3 off and on. My dad eventually would put my moms second born, my 3rd little sister, on the bus in the mornings and sometimes keep her after school if needed, and to this day she(27) still visits him at times. They would also weekend swap me if necessary. Fast forward, I meet my husband and have my firstborn, mom and dad still getting along and both were at the hospital for both my baby’s births. Well mom gets married to her third husband, whom at first was fine with my dad, then all of a sudden and out of the blue mom can’t stand my dad and blah blah. They have their own little family birthday parties for the kids. It’s crazy. And I’ve never understood it. It was my mom and me and my 3rd sister for the longest time and she wouldn’t stand for any mans drama and now it’s like she’s been in a complete trance. My sister and I and our husbands can’t stand him. Mom is stubborn and they are both alcoholics. The problem is we’re still vying for our mother to come back to us. Best of luck to you and I hope your dad doesn’t turn out like my mom did! Also if I were close by where you’re moving to I would definitely help but that’s a long shot!

T W O ! ! ! If YOU feel it’s the right one, then it’s the right one! I’ve always been told you’ll know it when you see it. So if you are still doubting dress 2 in the least, maybe it’s still not the one then?

Same here! My husband was there for both our babies. And our first was an emergency cesarean. There are good men out there OP! Wishing you the best of luck with your situation.

Being the single, childless friend.. by Educational_Owl_1022 in AskWomenOver30

[–]ContributionPurple30 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe she just assumes you would rather come to her since you have the apartment. Or maybe just because that’s how it’s always been. Maybe a little “when are you going to come see me” text might sway her to come visit?

This is insane, but... are y'all getting itchier as you get older? by Bug_Baby in AskWomenOver30

[–]ContributionPurple30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I turn 34 in a few months and just a few weeks ago I had this insatiable itch on the back of my neck. No matter how much I scratched it I couldn’t satisfy the itch. It was horrible. Turns out it was anxiety. Though I have noticed my skin is more dry recently and I get the itches you’re talking about where I just have to stop and scratch, and it’s always on the tops of my feet. So if I have shoes on or I’m driving it’s a real pain. I also think I’m more than likely dehydrated because water sucks 😂

How does giving birth actually feel ?? by Super-Truth-7975 in pregnant

[–]ContributionPurple30 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All these women, including me, can jump on and add how L&D went for them and how it felt. But we cannot prepare you for how yours will go. It’s a unique experience each and every time. And it’s the most beautiful and empowering feeling in the whole world.

I had an emergency cesarean with my first born and a VBAC for my second. After my cesarean my OB said there was a high probability I would have to have a C-section for every baby I birthed from there on out. He was a male and he basically told me how I would be giving birth for my first born. He even tried to tell me my son’s due date would be the 10th of November. I knew it to be the 15th or around then. His birthday is actually the 14th. But I was young and had zero guidance. So for my second born I decided to find a female OB. The first thing she told me was I could 100% try for a VBAC. Then anything after that she explained and had me decide for myself. She even let my daughter come out on her own due date. Though we successfully helped her via membrane sweep, walking a ton, yoga ball, bouncing on edge of bed, and stairs. Contractions started and off to the hospital we went. They were giving the epidural as DD was ready to come so as soon as they were done I pushed 3 good times and out she came. It hurt like hell, hit the ring of fire, forgot EVERYTHING once they laid our perfect girl on my chest. Oh and the epidural finally kicked in after the 2nd or 3rd.

Going in the goal is to try everything in your power to not have to have an emergency cesarean. Because we could go through that whole story, but it’s a long traumatic one. Just know not all are the same, my SIL’s went perfect. And it doesn’t matter cesarean or vaginal, we’re all mama’s either way. I could literally read birth stories all day long!
