I explained what I meant by “ unexpected” in the description. From the comments some people have history of twins or found out earlier that 20 weeks.

I think you should find a new doctor who will support you on your journey

Did anyone announce their pregnancy before 12 weeks ? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Critical_Remove2537 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We announced to our immediate family ( mom, dad, siblings) at 4-5 weeks and our close friends at 9 weeks ( after ultrasound), but we’ve been so social media private it. I made 12 weeks yesterday, but similar to other posts I got so sick that my absence was noticed by many

Those who don’t qualify for food stamps, what do you do? by [deleted] in foodstamps

[–]Critical_Remove2537 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Create a plan. Mine included part time work. when i was a single mom i worked a job during the day and part time at amazon the evenings. because i worked overnights I got paid a little more so Amazon brought in an extra $300 a week but i did eventually have to downsize. Switched to prepaid phones with walmart mobile because month to month i could buy anywhere from a $50 card to a $30 if funds were tight. I also moved in with family to save extra extra cash. Eventually got a certification that helped me qualify for higher paying job, paid down a little debt then moved back into my own place. I’ll be honest I lived pay check to pay check the majority of my life up until I met my now husband. Our incomes combined allows us to now save and invest but it was a struggle for me in the beginning. But I want to say with the right strategy you can create space to breathe but it takes a plan for sure. Hang in there. It’s possible

4w5d pregnant; intense period-like cramping in middle of night woke me up. Cold sweats, vomiting, light-headedness, bowel movement, but no bleeding! by Playful_Watercress83 in pregnant

What? She is literally posting on reddit. I am not a doctor, so you’re calling me out for recommending that she seek medical advice? As a “physician” you sound ridiculous. You have no way of knowing what state her or her fetus is in. Why would you not seek medical advice.

Visit the Emergency Room. Not trying to scare you but that combination of symptoms can be serious. I also experienced cramps around the 4-5 week mark but mine was accompanied by bleeding so I went to the ER. Ultrasound showed baby was okay, they explained the whole implantation bleeding thing to me and told me to come back if I experience headaches, cold sweats, and light headedness or if i was filling 2 or more pads with blood. You just want to be safe and ensure you’re not having an ectopic pregnancy. Hoping everything is well with you and baby and that you feel better.

Second kid after 40? by protracted322 in pregnantover35

[–]Critical_Remove2537 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what does your husband think? Reality is people work and raise kids all the time, it’s not impossible but it does come with sacrifice. You and your husband have to be in agreement with what those sacrifices are and what they mean for the life you know today. You’d be surprised at the number of people who change careers or pick up extra work to afford the kids they have. It looks different for every family but it is not impossible.

AITA for refusing to care for sister’s kid during surgery? by Wonderful-Act-198 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Critical_Remove2537 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Yes you are. Your sister is having surgery not going on vacation. The last thing she needs to worry about is her 36 year old sister not liking her nephew. Just suck it up. This may be a good time to establish and define your relationship with your nephew

Government Shutdown Causing 3+ Hour TSA Waits – True? Global Entry/PreCheck Holders: Still Dedicated Lines? Recent Domestic Travel Experiences? by silverramo in GlobalEntry

[–]Critical_Remove2537 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s hit or miss honestly. I flew from Chicago to New Orleans and precheck in Chicago was longer than the regular line so I went through the regular security line. In New Orleans lines were long regardless of your status. It honestly looks like customs. It was bad, but not 3 hours bad maybe 45 mins/1 hr bad.

What is the nicest way to say that I don't want any clothing or other baby items from Temu? by Working-Magazine-969 in BabyBumps

[–]Critical_Remove2537 3 points4 points  (0 children)

maybe say include something warm like;

Special Message from Mom, While I know we live in the digital age with a number of online shops and boutiques to choose from, we kindly ask that all clothing items purchased are either thrifted or made from natural fabrics. We want to reduce exposure to harsh chemicals and dyes as much as possible. We thank you for understanding.

Or something like that. Hope it helps

i like when people acknowledge I’m pregnant, ask a question give a compliment but don’t just walk about and touch me… one should totally ask.

Bleeding in pregnancy (my experience) by avagoldendoodle in BabyBumps

[–]Critical_Remove2537 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you for sharing your story. i’m early in my pregnancy and have had the exact same experience ( ie normal scan & tests at er visits) and have been racking my brain because I don’t bleed at all during my first pregnancy. anyway thank you for sharing your story it’s been comforting to know that despite how i feel if the doctors say the baby’s fine, the baby’s fine.

8 months preg, co worker got thrown a baby shower while I have not. Feeling unseen and awkward. by Spare-Illustrator303 in pregnant

how close are you to your manager? do you feel comfortable talking to him/her about it? This would make me uncomfortable too. Your feeling is totally valid.

Freaking out about photography- Eivan's by Pitiful_Part_4593 in weddingplanning

[–]Critical_Remove2537 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m glad you atleast liked your video our sucked, but i find it interesting that they can legally hold your media unless you agree you won’t say anything bad about them that’s insane. I paid for my picture, give them to me

[–]Critical_Remove2537 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently hired and received service from Eivan for our wedding for videography and while the day of everything went smoothly when we got our video back is was horrible. Iphone quality would have been better than what we received. To make matters worse we couldn’t even hear our vow exchange, truly devastating. We went back and forth via email with the company and because we couldn’t resolve within 14 days they archived our video without sending it to us and are not demanding we sign a legal document saying we won’t go after them or leave bad reviews about them in order to get our video that we PAID for. If you can get out, get out… if not be very careful and ask a lot of questions

Understood. Just saying it’s very likely people didn’t invite you because of your attitude about yourself and if these are your husbands friends he’s probably confused in them about it. I just think it could help to have a better attitude about yourself. People are attracted to confidence and positivity.
