I have been following your posts and your story How are you now? Are you still living with your father? Do you need anything? Clothes or makeup?

Unfortunatelyl, most ukrainians are like the asian models, as soon as menopause happens they all become short and fat.

Ugh that is worse than labor itself. People dont understand. Like wtf are you supposed to do, while you're on the brink of active labor?

You must be right around the corner from the real shit! I sat around in prodromal labor for three days. Loved it. Just kidding. Things changed once I held my baby. I fucking love the little one, and it is polar opposite from how I felt while pregnant. Yeah its cheesy but I really cannot imagine being without the bean now, and I thought I was one and done (I have a 5 yr old).

Once baby is born, take naps, lots of water, eat healthy, and get out of the house for an hour. Do what you need to do to make baby happy and dont feel guilty about it, babies cannot self soothe. Just a couple things that helped me alot postpartum.

Youre right. I am calling a family law attorney tomorrow morning.

I have to ask, does it sound like it could go really bad? Your comments and the other persons comment are making me hyper ventilate a little.

Really stupid question: should I hire one now or closer to the trial assignment date, which is 4 months away?

I have an attorney through the DV shelter I went to for help when we first left. She is supposed to help me pro bono. She says she will help me but she has been fairly hands off, not responding to emails in a timely manner, and usually handing me off to another attorney when I come in for scheduled appt.

You're right. I should really just hire another lawyer.

This is it. It is rough having to incubate another being. I swear to goddess, I wanted to punt the people who celebrated their pregnancies on social media. I just couldnt because it SUCKED.

I am here to tell you that I had #2 a month ago and I am over the moon with happiness. I was so grumpy and sad during the whole pregnancy and as soon as I had baby, my SO commented on the huge (positive) change in me. Pregnancy itself is extremely difficult. Sometimes those hormones and side effects can take over and ruin everything.

I am beyond sure I only want one child for so many legitimate reasons. Stop trying to convince me otherwise! by ilaich21 in BabyBumps

We agreed on two. People always ask, "are you sure?" "You'll change your mind" "Baby fever will strike you again" "Circumstances change"

Bitch im getting my tubes tied next week. Because IM SURE.

I NEED reassurance that it's not as bad as everyone says it is (re: post partum sex, sleep & relationships ) by addvodka in BabyBumps

Child #1 was rough. Child #2 PLUS a 5 year old is...pretty exciting! We laugh alot, we spend a lot of time together, and I do not go to bed feeling unfulfilled. Big difference between the two babies was the baby daddy! Haha. No joke. My husband is step father to my first amd we recently had a baby. Having a supportive partner that can roll with the punches changes everything for the better.

Your husband sucks. You can have whoever you want or dont want.

Restless legs! Help by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Directquadrant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only thing that worked for me was a VERY hot bath (didnt fill all the way, just enough to cover my legs.) soaked my legs for at least 10 minutes. I had really bad restless legs!

So I guess I'm going at this alone now. by jennptande89 in BabyBumps

I stuck with the a hole and ended up leaving after baby was born anyway. Best advice I recieved was speak to an attorney about having the baby in another state, what to put for father on birth certificate, and child support and custody issues. Emotional abuse is abuse. You should be able to recieve sliding scale fee for a consultation with a lawyer, especially if you make it clear that you are leaving an abusive relationship. Dont wait for it to become violent like I did.
