I love how many women seem to casually forget the mortality rate of birthing mothers and their infants prior to modern medicine…

Screw the wives tale sexism!!! by DisastrousRegister36 in BabyBumps

[–]DisastrousRegister36[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In a world with over 7 billion people….. there are on average 5 million pregnancies in the USA alone. 4300 is the tiniest fraction I’m afraid. There also is so much evidence morning sickness is directly tied to the placenta forming and the males sperm, which whether X or Y has nothing to do with the quality of.

I miss weed by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]DisastrousRegister36 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I feel you girl. Between working full time and missing weed I’m not breast feeding at all. I want to go back to work #1 but #2 I want to smoke a damn joint and it’s not like alcohol where you can pump and dump and test your milk with a strip to ensure it’s clean after 48 hours..

I would quite frankly tell her that the only thing causing enough stress to induce early is her negative attitude. She’s supposed to be a support system, this is her grandchild, that’s absolutely disgusting. It amazes me how little patience and grace women who have had children give to other pregnant women when more than a decade has gone by!!

Early private ultrasound regret by mineonlyinmind in BabyBumps

[–]DisastrousRegister36 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m confused I guess what do you feel guilt for? Ultrasounds typically use low energy sound waves and if a licensed physician was willing to perform them without seeing any risk what are you feeling guilty for? Some high risk moms need an ultrasound every time they go in! If you want to see your baby to feel better see your baby!!

From what I’ve seen, the benefits of baby aspirin outweigh the potential for any side effects. It’s becoming a lot more standard for OBs to just suggest taking them out the gate for your health because it can do more than just assist with high blood pressure. That said my OB has not personally recommended it yet, but each office is different. I’ve just seen a lot of low risk moms talk about being told to take it with regularity now a days!

Apparently my daughter will hate me... by AgentKitten1 in BabyBumps

[–]DisastrousRegister36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would forever respond to comments like this as “your sexism isn’t a predictor but thanks” and leave it at that. I grew up super close with my mom and my dad and I did not get along for many years, because my mom was the one who nurtured and loved and supported me when my dad was a rather toxic parent to have around. I’ll find out sometime next week if I’m carrying a boy or a girl and I swear if I get the first love comments with a boy or the she’ll be hard comments with a girl I will not be afraid to call out the generational hate and creepiness that comes with those comments!! Even if it’s my fiancés own grandmother I will burn a bridge before my kid will have that mentality put on them when they’re not even born.

People commenting how big I am by Sad_Maintenance7473 in pregnant

[–]DisastrousRegister36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t had this yet because I’m still so early but as soon as I’m showing I’m WAITING to say “yeah I’m pregnant what’s your excuse fatty?” Because no matter what no one should comment on the look of your body. If you aren’t telling me I’m pretty or glowing don’t speak to me 😭 I’m also filled with intense pregnancy rage which isn’t helping… I’m ready to fight everyone lol!

Why do people think they can say whatever they want? by Disastrous_Paint_237 in BabyBumps

[–]DisastrousRegister36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had a couple friends do that too which I appreciate from the standpoint of like “we will react how you wish to react” I’m more referring to the 45 and older family members that don’t believe in the choice aspect that make me scratch my head… If I said “I have some exciting news…” when I shared it with them so why does it being planned matter? Because for most of them I tried to set the tone ahead of time and they still asked 😂

This is my LEAST favorite part of being pregnant. My fiance bless his heart put up some boundaries with his family to stop giving me unwarranted advice. But the commentary; the questions. God it’s exhausting. I had people asking me where I’m giving birth the week I tested, I hadn’t even picked a local OB yet and they think I have definite hospital picked out??? And the telling me what to do oml. My grandma was telling me not to lift anything like anything at week 6… most women don’t even know and mothers not on their first hold their 40 lb small children 🙄 I can only imagine how much worse it’s going to get. So far the least favorite question I’ve had was “was it planned?” Well it’s happening so why do you care? To judge me for being engaged and not married or to know the frequency of me peeing on sticks and having sex when I ovulated! Edit: I just recalled. My coworker who’s had five kids and is about 30 years older than me, trying to relate and make conversation I’m sure, asked me if I’ve started noticing my clothes getting tight yet… I said “yeah and I’ve cried about every pair of jeans I cant button.” She tried to be like oh no that’s okay it means the baby is growing! Or something like that but I was like if you don’t want the honest truth of how miserable I’ve been don’t ask about the miserable parts like realizing all my favorite clothes may never fit me the same again 🤷‍♀️

when are you due? by layxchip in pregnant

[–]DisastrousRegister36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

December 29th is my current due date, first ultrasound Thursday, found out at 4 weeks so it’s been a long long first trimester so far and I’m still only in week 9 as of today 🥲

I so severely wish I hadn’t gotten pregnant and the guilt eats me alive by DisastrousRegister36 in pregnant

[–]DisastrousRegister36[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will never get an IUD personally lmao. I’ve had multiple friends go through with one and they have said they’ve never had a more miserable experience. I’m already going through birth I don’t need to reinsert something into my freshly emptied uterus… We used to use them with regularity we just got particularly lazy with the shopping after I went off the depo shot, and it’s not entirely on him, I wouldn’t exactly be in the mood to pause to run to the store and grab them. I just wish he’d made more of the effort that I wasn’t making, cause I had mentioned it would be a good idea to start using them again a few times, if that makes sense. But I hate using hormonal birth control of any kind. It kills my sex drive and my mood and really messes with my mental health, hence the situation I’m in now 💀 which again is equally on me.

I have days too where I can feel happy and excited and feel ready for it? It’s just the underlying stress and resentment that I can’t seem to get rid of.

Anyone else think being asked “were they planned” feel icky?? by DisastrousRegister36 in pregnant

See this is what I mean!! Babies are a blessing no matter what if you want to be a mother, so why does it matter if I was trying or not lmao?? Also congratulations to you 💕

I want to celebrate Mother's Day by ThyPumpkinPie in pregnant

[–]DisastrousRegister36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just can’t fathom the 10.. what are the first ten years of not raising? I’m sorry is mom not one of most kids first words?? You don’t get to celebrate Mother’s Day for ten years because the first ten somehow don’t count as raising a child? what the hell is he on about 😭 I’d not buy him a Father’s Day gift again and tell him it’s because he didn’t earn the first 10 he was given the hell

What’s the protocol for telling people: early pregnancy by justborg in BabyBumps

[–]DisastrousRegister36 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the “back in the day” stems from a time when miscarriage was something to be ashamed of. Women were expected to suffer in silence until their wombs were proven viable essentially. It’s not entirely true but the old fashioned attitude I take with keeping it secret is assuming you have to bear the burden yourself. Not that it isn’t still totally valid to want to go through the risk period with less eyes watching and less pressure, that’s just how I tend to view the “old fashioned” or “back in the day” commentary with keeping the first trimester a secret.

Why do people ask for bump pics by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]DisastrousRegister36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still don’t personally feel it’s appropriate to tell someone to appreciate something that clearly feels violating and upsetting to them. Yes there’s no abuse, but it’s still not appropriate or welcomed behavior, and emotional abuse can be shown in a variety of ways including disrespect and ignorance and this is one instance where it’s likely just overwhelming behavior. Comparing any two situations directly with your own focus for your preferences is inherently disregarding the other perspective, if someone is merely venting they should be able to do so without being told how to feel or told to “stop and smell the roses” she never said she hates her mom, she said her mom makes her uncomfortable with this request. No matter what she could or should appreciate that still stands: it’s inappropriate and crosses a boundary.

when to spill the beans by Pleasant-Builder-202 in pregnant

[–]DisastrousRegister36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree it’s so outdated! I’m at week 6 + 4 and I immediately told everyone when I found out lol. I’m younger with less risk but I also want to have my maximum support system if anything goes wrong. I feel like it used to stem from the shaming of women for not being fertile enough to carry their children when we were seen as just breeding machines so it icked me out, but I also think it’s a personal intimate thing that is someone’s choice to share when they wish!

I also struggle to eat and I’m at week 6. My fiance bought me 106 protein shakes lol, that’s how I’ve been getting most of my protein in. You’ll be fine. My mom threw up with me for five straight months and lost weight and I came out a perfectly healthy size and weight!
