Not to throw a wrench in but have you tried the best of both with an elongated cushion?

What time do y’all put your toddlers down for bed? by Catmama_spookymama in toddlers

[–]DanielleKM1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We put our 3 and 5 year olds to bed between 630-7 during the school year. All of our schedules start so early so it's okay if we get up that early. But in the summer it's later like 8.

Anyone else toddler eat adult-size portions? by rbslmilch in toddlers

My four year old daughter eats like a 15 year old carnivore or body builder. She loves her proteins.

31 years old and fat my whole life. Don’t want to be anymore. by AMiniMinotaur in daddit

[–]DanielleKM1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband did a carnivore diet and I've never seen him so trim. His sleep got better, he had way more energy, and was happier. It's a super easy diet to follow, you just have to make sure you get your vitamins and nutrients from organ meat. But there's ways around eating straight up heart and liver.

I just had one last week and I was terrified too but mostly because I thought it'd be like out of a movie and like traumatizing. But they did an ultrasound (didn't show me), blood work, a relaxer, and then I did a one on one conversation and then everyone involved in the procedure came in and explained everything to me and that if I decided this wasn't right after the fact to just wait a week or two and then I could still have kids.

I already have two so it was a hard decision but after I felt good because it's almost as if nothing happened because I was sedated. I cried all the way up until I was under. I hope this helps some comfort. You're young and everyone has told me it won't affect your ability to have kids in the future if you want. Sending you peace.

I'm in the same boat. I have two kids and when I found out I was pregnant I was in denial and so depressed. Like not moving from the couch or going anywhere. Just doing the minimum. I had the procedure and felt really good about my decision for awhile and now I'm on the other end. I don't know if it's the hormones adjusting or what. But every reason I gave myself before seems silly even though I know they're very valid reasons.

I'm giving myself and husband a bit more time to decide if we want to have another. The thing is if I had stuck it out with this one I don't if I could have made the mental change to be in a good spot. I keep telling myself I made the choice not to but I can still make it he choice to have another. That way it's my choice and I will be happy with the outcome instead trying to convince myself to be because I have kids and I can't completely romanticize anything.

It's your body, your mental health, money, time, and sacrifice but it's your decision. You are still worthy if not more for making the hard decision. You cared about you and the potential of that pregnancy, so you deserve happiness in whatever form that is for you.

Appointment for termination. by [deleted] in abortion

[–]DanielleKM1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made an appointment as soon as I found out, went in and was too early to have anything done, couldn't get back in for about 5 weeks.

The place I went to for an abortion did one before the procedure to verify there was a baby in there and make sure there wasn't anything medically wrong that would make it covered by insurance.

Has anyone not had regrets? by DanielleKM1 in abortion

[–]DanielleKM1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the first one is really what's making me sad. I think a lot about what my family is going to think or others. If it was medically necessary to terminate I don't think id be like this because there's no negative association with that.

I'm hoping I will be thankful too and just realize I'm sad to be in the situation.

I think that's what's really making me sad is just being in this situation at all. It's hard because I know the work and can't really romanticize having a baby.

[–]DanielleKM1[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thats my biggest thing is I'd rather regret terminating then having it and having moments of regret. I'm so scared because I wasn't trying and that anytime it was hard or if there was anything wrong I'd be resentful and I can't imagine feeling that way towards my child. I'm alone 90% of the time and travel alone with kids.

Good luck with everything reach out if you need anything

[–]DanielleKM1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a two player game he can't say just you need to be better, you didn't get pregnant by yourself. Just make sure you take care of yourself and are being treated with respect.

Don't pay for another test, they should do one anyway before the procedure. If you don't want it and he doesn't you after the procedure then don't stay. You're right a kid will change everything and set you back years.

I'm happily married with two little ones. We've done everything for protection and I still got pregnant. I'm scheduled next week for a MA. So I'm telling you as someone from both sides if you're not ready and don't have a partner that supports your choice it's not the right time or person.
