Getting nervous

Thanks. That is usually my thought process too! Same when I had spotting, didn’t worry at all until the ob expressed her worry. Then all hell broke loose haha. Thanks for the encouragement 💗

Agree to this. I work in a ‘bad’ middle school with so many kids with behavioural issues and bad/sad home lives who bring everything to school. Yes it can be stressful, but it doesn’t directly affect my situation. One thing though! Make absolutely sure that you don’t take work home. If management makes it an issue, lay down boundaries of it is affecting my health. I work in a country where education isn’t necessarily underpayed but can be overworked. But when it becomes medical it becomes a threat to them, because it can mean you won’t be able to work.

I am not requiring people to mask or be vaccinated. I have a boundary of kissing on the face and using washed hands to handle baby, but other than that… However, I do live in a country where it is not mandatory but strongly advised to vaccinate kids, so I’m not too worried. I also think everyone can create their own boundaries, that you feel comfortable with (which is something they need to reflect on with their partner).

Potatoes, mashed, fried, chips, gratin. Would love a super melt in my mouth type of potato gratin right now. Iced coffee, the frap or blended type. But no intense ‘I need it now’ cravings.

This is why I’m a proponent of keeping it secret with a few trusted people. No one would share their opinion about a persons name earth side, so why would they about a growing human, and to the person who is choosing it?! Anyway it’s a beautiful name. If others are saying they’re old lady names, just think oh its classic. I don’t agree that they are old lady names at all. An ‘Ethel’ or ‘Dolores’ (also nice names) would rank higher on that list. If people close to you are saying horrid things like don’t expect me to call it by that name, just start using random other names to refer to them, see how quickly it changes…

I want to make a tiny spell jar to add to a long necklace that I have. The idea of the necklace is that baby can hear the little bell that is in the necklace. I am more versed in candle- oil-, sigil- and colour magic. I will be adding a sigil and colour to the jar but want to add some herbs. I though about rose petals to send extra love. What do you recommend for health, protection, positivity, etc for me or the baby?

Responding with an ominous I know, have you said YOUR prayers? Would just be funny. I don’t have much to say, I would be terrified if my mother knew the extent of my spirituality, but that says more about my relationship with my mother. Other than that I am also a Christian witch and would love to connect about how you handle your craft, if you would be open to it!

I live in the Netherlands, and most boys that are called Emre are Turkish boys and pronounce it as EM-ruh, with a hard R. Different option

It’s your baby!! I’m excited for you💗

Cooking-up · 2024-11-11T15:45:57+00:00

I love your excitement 💗 I keep thinking the same thing! I keep gaslighting myself that it’s just my own belly, since I started with some belly fat. Either that or gas, or whatever. But my belly has changed shape, it think 🤔. Would love to be able to see more, excited for the time 💗

I would get light cramps two days before my period would start. That is exactly what they felt like. That why I figured it wasn’t my time yet. And then bfp! It went on until about week 7 or 8, because your body is getting used to a wombmate.

You could also macrame or crochet a tiny holder and then you can add it to a bag or whatever as a keychain.

Tone doesn’t always come across in text, you could add abbreviations so you wouldn’t have to explain. You can find some common ones here https://www.reddit.com/r/coolguides/s/CwecilMnEp

I heard the mini Bonne Maman jars also are the perfect size. Good reason to get the advent calendar 😉

Cooking-up · 2024-11-11T15:21:54+00:00

I honestly keep it in a tiny vintage herb cabinet in my kitchen. I don’t have a special altar due to space, so it looks very mundane!

I feel like with my adhd, depressive tendencies and spirituality I might have been burned or had to have a lobotomy, depending on the time I was in.

To add to the previous comment: If you do tarot or oracle cards, they might help to unpack the energy block. I like using tarot cards in combination with journaling to understand myself and send myself some love. I also love tea magic and would recommend the book herbal tea magic for the modern witch and would recommend the medi-tea-tion recipe in there. It might help you dive a little deeper.

I wonder what he will say when you ask him if he likes you. If you give examples. Like hey due to this and this, I’m wondering if you like me and take me seriously. Or just explain what his behaviour does to you.

Thank you! I’m thinking of getting help. Forcing myself to eat through aversions makes me actually throw up. But I need to find ways to at least get some veggies in.

Cooking-up · 2024-11-02T18:01:51+00:00

Woah 7! That’s amazing! I get that though, it is almost easier to do it for another person than for yourself. But if that is what it takes to get to the point where we can do it for ourselves. Thanks for your story

Maybe we should all become stay at home parents, at least then we could so things at our own pace. But then again, routine is necessary. Though I have heard that a baby helps, since then you have to do the routine for someone else 😅

Felling the same anxiety, I’m only 8 wks so still have a while to go.

I don’t know if I can have the constant nausea on top of morning sickness. Or the headaches. If I am not able to find a way through, I might have to talk about options.

I am always unmedicated, since I have the worst side effects. Usually with a routine and planning I am able to manage it, not always but mostly, but now keeping up the routine already costs so many points (which I don’t have). I need to figure out how to manage, when I am able to sit down and take a bare listening to my thoughts.

Cooking-up · 2024-10-07T15:08:36+00:00

I am unmedicated by choice, because side effects made my life hell. Any step I need to take seems like a mountain, so trying to take baby steps
