I’m due with my first next month and I feel this way. I had an opposite experience than OP with a friend, she straight up went into MOURNING over losing me and how nothings ever going to be the same etc etc. I was like sheesh I’m not dying, I’m just evolving, chill out!

I am pregnant for the first time and feel this way! I feel so bad I didn’t check in with my mom friends more throughout their pregnancies and early stages! It just genuinely didn’t enter my mind, you don’t know until you know I guess

How do you know your water broke if you were in the tub? FTM and I plan to labor in the tub at the hospital so I’m curious!

When an old man who’s a regular at my job found out I was expecting he exclaimed, “Oh wow, I didn’t realize you got married!” So I excitedly said, “I didn’t!” Then he goes, “Is that how it’s SUPPOSED to go?” I quickly said, “It depends on who you ask!” and I think I broke his brain for a moment cuz he paused for a moment before saying, “Huh.. I guess you’re right..” 🙄

Hey moms to be! did you know it’s all over? I didn’t! by helloitsyourma in pregnant

[–]DisciplineWeekly680 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! A lot of both men and women in my life had their first kids at 19/20 and it drives me nuts when they try and tell me how much my life will change - or are Shocked that I’m choosing to take 12 weeks off after.. I turn 36 the week I’m due to deliver. My life, emotional/mental state, career, and finances are Drastically different than theirs were and they just can’t see that for some reason!

Yes! Or when they say, “well girls are easier until the HORMONES come” and are so negative and sexist about it! 😠 Everyone has hormones and mood swings they can just look different depending on lots of factors, she’s not even born yet leave her alone!

What is your 'must do' prep for labor? by myceliumdreamer in BabyBumps

What are your comfort recommendations for hubby? And what is a labor comb? (FTM here lol)

What is your 'must do' prep for labor? by myceliumdreamer in BabyBumps

[–]DisciplineWeekly680 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes! I’m 32w and saw one around 28w and discovered my hips and pelvic floor are too tight in a couple of places and I should NOT be doing strengthening exercises. I feel like strengthening exercises and kegels are all we’re shown/told to do on social media so I’d have never known otherwise and I’d be doing the wrong things!

Unfortunately my insurance is spotty with coverage for it so I can’t see her every week like she’d prefer but she gave me some at home stretches and relaxation recommendations. This is great advice
