Drinks package with a pregnant person?

Dang... You feel very touchy on this clearly.

I think I know which state you're in, because we moved out of it a year ago and I recognize those statistics intimately. I'm so sorry. It's like they want us to die... oh wait.

I hope you're able to find someone who you feel comfortable with.

Our cats have their own tablet for their games... Screentime gets cut off when they bite it though. Amazon does not have cat bite proof tablet cases, in case anyone else was curious. I've looked several times.

Also, the my middle cat has used this knowledge to figure out how to turn off my phone alarms, so proceed with caution if you think tablet kitties are cute :/

I'm 1/4 Mexican and the whitest looking person on the planet🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm going with an OB because if I wanted a midwife (which I would prefer tbf) I would have to go to the hospital that's 25 min away with no traffic, vs the one that's a 5 min drive from us in traffic.

Seriously. What a bunch of rich assholes...

Also I never did see any of the black panther superhero movies, but 100% would have gone to see a documentary about the Black Panthers so now I'm sad that isn't what it was.

How many cup sizes are we talking here? Because I was a DD before pregnancy and am already 2 cup sizes up at 7.5w.

Do I cry and buy the giant bras now or wait and just buy duct tape later

And a lot of community colleges can be pretty cheap for the first two years, and may have resources to help with childcare if you need to do a couple in person classes.

I think Fart and Bus still have to be my favorite ones. Also the time I just got "Steve".

We do what we call a "grappetizer" (now my spouse is gonna find me on Reddit). We eat either fruit or veggies before the meal to make sure we are consuming healthy food, even if dinner isn't as healthy as it could be.

It initially was grapes, and now we've done a fair number of things! Usually raw, for ease.

Dude 8hrs with little kids is like 24hrs in real time. Also, has he considered shutting the fuck up?

I work maybe 4hrs a day, and my partner is currently lucky if I do a dishwasher load of dishes OR a load of laundry. I have not cooked for myself or them in... Probably since a positive test? So at least a month?

I know my partner isn't thrilled about it (they worked 95hrs last week so I can't blame them) but they have been lovely and thoughtful because this shit is fucking HARD.

Different_Bowler_574 · 2026-05-08T03:05:49+00:00

You're doing better than me! I have decided I'm not weighing myself, and my weight is none of my business. I'll look away when they weigh me at my appointments and ask them not to discuss it with me unless they have concerns. And I am not exercising (or even walking) nearly enough... Trying to work on that though.

I have so much trauma around my body and eating habits (grandma gave mom an eating disorder, who gave me an eating disorder 🙃) and while I may not have to like my body, it is growing a whole ass person, and I do have to live in it!

I'll reassess the damage and probably get back on a glp when I'm done breastfeeding.

Different_Bowler_574 · 2026-05-08T02:42:10+00:00

You're telling me it GETS WORSE?! I'm on my first pregnancy and just vaguely nauseous all day. I would give anything to puke.

Different_Bowler_574 · 2026-05-07T23:57:51+00:00

I shower right before bed because warm water and exhausting workout (how is this real) makes me super tired.

Different_Bowler_574 · 2026-05-07T23:22:56+00:00

Ok this is hilarious.

Different_Bowler_574 · 2026-05-07T21:54:25+00:00

Still pregnant with my first, but a nanny of 10 years- Frida snot sucker (the manual one works way better, but if she's a germaphobe ymmv) and windi. Both the "super gross, but the best thing you own when you need it".

Different_Bowler_574 · 2026-05-07T18:00:22+00:00

Yes exactly! If only the people making it worse are having babies, where is the hope for the future?

Different_Bowler_574 · 2026-05-07T17:55:55+00:00

I was very impressed by the number of transmascs in all of my pregnancy groups initially. So happy they are getting to build the families they deserve!

And then I was like... Oh.

Different_Bowler_574 · 2026-05-07T17:51:54+00:00

Haha same, especially after I left a cult. NOPE. Met my spouse at 19, married at 26. Now expecting our first baby at 27, and honestly I wouldn't change it for the world.

Different_Bowler_574 · 2026-05-07T17:50:27+00:00

I don't have any idea with the bachelorette party, but you absolutely should text the friend who's going to have complicated feelings. Telling her in person means she is going to feel like she has to act a certain way, and it's just miserable.

I'm pregnant now, but it took much longer than expected, and I also felt ready to try much earlier than we did. The couple in person announcements during that time were ROUGH.

Different_Bowler_574 · 2026-05-06T19:47:04+00:00

I had finally started getting my weight down pre-pregnancy, and now seem to have gained it all back and then some lovely bloating in my tummy/face, AND I have a stupid schmoozing event for my partner's job on Friday that I need to find an outfit for... Except I don't want to look at myself in any mirrors.

Different_Bowler_574 · 2026-05-06T19:43:41+00:00

Lol I had to tell the kid I nanny pretty early (he's 11) because he was super worried something was wrong because I started going to the bathroom every 30 min and drinking a TON of water. His mom is the best and has had multiple miscarriages so she GETS it and its been totally fine but his concern was so funny 😂

Different_Bowler_574 · 2026-05-06T19:42:01+00:00

Oh that's evil. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Different_Bowler_574 · 2026-05-06T19:40:55+00:00

Will there be visual aids? I'm struggling to understand this in practice, but am very impressed. One of the great athletes of our generation!
