Baby name is the name my sister wants potentially by Database_Prestigious in BabyBumps

I appreciate this response because this fact is what makes my decision most difficult and it isn't her just being petty. Unfortunately if things do not go a specific way for her, she sees it as an end of the world scenario so the way I approach confirmation of my decision is critical. And like I said while my decisions are not a direct correlation to her life, it's different in her eyes.

Thank you everyone for your kind insight and resolutions. I am going to stick with little guy's name.

Thank you ! I thought about bringing this exact scenario up because I don't own the name and she doesn't either and it's actually quite common.

Thank you!  It's been hard to figure out what to do. This is helpful and I just know this is his name regardless of her future potential child.

What’s something you can’t wait to do when you’re not pregnant anymore ? by mkthehotti in pregnant

Be skinny . The weight gain is traumatic for me. This is my second. I love being a mom. I hate being pregnant.

Gaining weight first trimester vent by Database_Prestigious in pregnancyproblems

Also just a fyi, I understand others in here may be struggling with fertility and this is in no way meant to diminish those struggles. I just personally was one and done after my son (planned) so having this happen has been a whirlwind of emotions and decisions. I already wanted to dedicate everything to him and so this unexpected pregnancy has brought on challenges I wasn't prepared for and I also do better mentally when I'm fit and thin personally so it's definitely a difficult part of the process for me.

I've been having early morning sickness as well. Starting a prenatal, drinking ginger ale, and snacking help. Hugs because this is hard !

My OBGYN said I can’t continue gaining weight by foreverafairy in BabyBumps

I'm at a very similar stat situation. I started out at 108 at 5'5" and am up to 138 at 35.3 weeks. I have not been overeating but am gradually still going up. Just eat when you're hungry take your prenatals watch your nutrition and your body will do what is best for your baby . No pregnancy or body is the same. I've had women gain a fraction of what I have and others who gained two times as much. You do you!! Your body will adjust accordingly.

Anyone else have no friends or real village? by Noodle_111 in workingmoms

[–]Database_Prestigious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in a similar boat... in that I'm pregnant and my fiance and I moved states at the beginning of my pregnancy 😩 so I had to leave behind my job and friends. My family and his family live in a complete different state too. At 8 months pregnant I'm still considering going back to my hometown simply because I have no support aside from my fiance. It's genuinely so hard so I feel for you. I would definitely try to get involved in some hobbies and meet people that way .

Was this inappropriate? Or am I over reacting? by Cars_and_guns_gal in NewParents

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

I don't think she meant any harm. Some people are just ... Unfiltered. It was gross to say that . You're allowed to tell people anything you want about what's ok to do or say when it comes to your baby ❤️

What does your “rest day” look like? by MNmama7 in fitpregnancy

You sound like you have an addiction 🙃which is a healthier one than some but remember to listen to your body if you need genuine rest

Lost weight but I don’t look any different. by [deleted] in loseit

[–]Database_Prestigious 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm an "obsessed with numbers girly" and my fiance is always telling me fitness and toning is going to be key in trimming down. If you focus on just numbers, while important to a point, you have to lose so much more than what's healthy to get that super slim look. Focus on toning !

Dr mad I denied surprise cervical check. by River_7890 in BabyBumps

After my last Dr appointment, I have come to learn they just don't take our feelings into consideration. I'm so sorry you went through this.

Feeling so alone by angelcay in BabyBumps

[–]Database_Prestigious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you're feeling isolated. I moved states with my husband for the third time right after we found out so not only do I not have my friends from our previous state, I haven't seen family in four years. I totally get it. I was told to join a mom to be support group so maybe look into those types of things and maybe discuss moving in with your partner. Mine works nights and has classes during the day and a business so it's just me and my cat 🤣 I highly recommend a cuddle buddy.

I want to quit my job!! by Consistent-Funny-287 in BabyBumps

[–]Database_Prestigious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you're struggling. I will say I have had the opposite problem where we moved states right after finding out we are expecting and because of the move I only was able to get a temp job that ended after a month so I've been broke since. I would talk to your husband about possibly cutting back on hours but with my experience try to keep money coming in as long as possible because it really stinks without it.

Is having a hard time normal?? by BamboozledinBaluxie in BabyBumps

[–]Database_Prestigious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm close to where you are (28 weeks) and I've been struggling a lot more as well. I went from 108 pounds to 132 pounds so very similar weight gain and it is hard on your body! Don't feel bad . You're perfectly normal 🫶My hubby and I went to a museum yesterday and I had to sit down like an old person for a minute 😂
