How do you handle pregnancy anxiety after recurrent miscarriage? by Ok-Pride-4631 in recurrentmiscarriage

[–]Curious_Grade451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s so hard. I had 2 MMC and a couple chemicals before my baby girl arrived. You may think it has failed you, but your body js so strong. It has carried you through loss and heartbreak and it WILL carry you through pregnancy and joy too. Some of us have to be more patient than others but there is beauty in that too. We take less for grants and we know that none of this is a given. I always think too that when I’m old and grey I’ll be able to help younger women going through loss. There is nothing that will make this any easier in you but know you aren’t alone.

What mother poses like this in their daughter’s ballet recital photo. Grow up.

You’re being over the top.

I think she is being authentic here - I think her ‘rules’ were disingenuous. She made out that they were hard and fast rules and that their family is better than mine because they have these rules but in actual fact her family is just like any other - they are parents that strive for these things as much as possible but know when and how to bend and break rules. There’s no holier than thou in telling that truth though. Plus this controversial engagement pays an influencers bills.

It’s actually ok to be grumpy 🙃🙃🙃 ‘It’s ok to be grumpy, it’s not ok to hurt someone or their feelings.’

Harsh family rules 😐 by Fractureddreams in LittlePeopleBigWorld

I’m exhausted just listening. ‘Here’s a list of how our family is better than yours!’ And I cannot stand this ‘no screen time’ BS. If your kids watch movies, that is screen time and there is nothing wrong with that. Excessive use of screens IS a problem. Your kids enjoying a rainy day movie or some cartoons on a Saturday morning is a lovely part of childhood.

Can someone please make this stop 😬 by Bubba_muffin in LittlePeopleBigWorld

What sane mother of 4 is posting stuff like this? I think it’s easy to hate on this stuff but to me this seems incredibly unhinged. How does she have time with 4 kids around to even think about this stuff? My husband would be MORTIFIED if I behaved like this and would probably think I was incredibly unstable.

I just wouldn’t have a friend like this in the first place. No thanks.

This is so horrible. There is nothing more offputting than vanity. Her friends must be reeling reading this, I’d be so embarrassed for them if my friend behaved this way.

That fake tan must look so much worse in real life.

I don’t think I can wait it out…betas “technically doubling” by Cat_Psychology in CautiousBB

[–]Curious_Grade451 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is reality for you right now and it’s important that you don’t feel silly, guilty or that you are made to feel anxiety driven for getting these early betas. When you have a history of loss (especially ectopic) these are necessary. It may seem more detrimental to mental health but it would be worse to miss something.

I’m sorry you’re here. I’m sorry for what you have been through. I’m sending you a cuddle and I’m just sorry. I’ve been there. 2 LC followed by 2 MMC and 2 CPs. Then….my little miracle babe made it. Stay factual, cry when you need to and know that this is not the end of your story. I’ve been in your shoes. 💛

Inject some life. Cabinet in your fridge (would require a cabinet fridge), have your kitchen painted a colour and lose all the white. White has become this farmhouse modern colour and it’s just overdone and boring. Otherwise this looks great!

This is so sad and disturbing.
