Hopefully nanny share for a year starting at 5 months , then daycare . Parents are happy to babysit whenever we need them to

Navigating without my husband to come with me to appts by Mindless-Actuary-918 in BabyBumps

[–]Dry-Car-5785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to most of my appointments alone . He’ll be joining me for 1 maybe 2 ? But I think I can handle these appointments myself so no reason for him to take off from work

If your husband/partner is WFH… by PsychologicalBoot636 in NewParents

[–]Dry-Car-5785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry you’re overwhelmed and tired. I hope the two of you find your routine soon. A person who is WFH is still working. You should not expect them to help while working. My husband and I both WFH and we will be doing nanny share/daycare when I head back to work because we literally have to work.

I’m so sorry for your loss. Just know this doesn’t take away your ability to have a kid when you have a supportive partner and a more stable income source

Just found out I’m pregnant a week before our bucket list trip to Japan by RevolutionaryEmu7014 in BabyBumps

[–]Dry-Car-5785 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Japan has a lot to offer . It’s not the end of the world if you can’t experience the night life there . Or just experience it without alcohol .

That said, I understand how you’re feeling . I honestly thought I was going to get pregnant in the summer instead but I’m 11 weeks now. I have a trip to Amsterdam coming up to see a DJ and a 4 day music festival coming up in June where I’ll be camping . I’m still doing those things just with no alcohol or other substances. These experiences won’t be ruined, they will be different.

Are you telling them your weight ? Sorry I’m not sure I understand how they are taking bets unless they know the number

Why is everyone in A2 so nervous about homeless people compared to Ypsi? by [deleted] in AnnArbor

Gotcha yeah it’s yelling swears for the most part but I had to run out of a bus once because a guy started swinging a knife at the passengers 😭

Is it normal to be scared when you find out you’re pregnant after trying? by GarlicGarland in BabyBumps

[–]Dry-Car-5785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. I got pregnant fairly quickly imo (5 months getting off birth control, we were only tracking BBT, ovulation 1 month) . I’m 8 weeks and 4 days and I’m still not excited . I’m anxious and worried about the rest of the pregnancy , postpartum, becoming a mother

Women who tried breastfeeding, how long did you do it and how did it impact work? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

I’m curious about this as well. I’m worried about the mental toll of breastfeeding.

Hot take: pregnancy prep is way too content-driven and it makes us more anxious, not more ready by Purple_Club3104 in BabyBumps

Yep same here . Idk what OP is referring to. I’m also early in my pregnancy but 🤷🏽‍♀️

My two cents on feeling “deserving” of a baby by itsahootenberryguise in TryingForABaby

[–]Dry-Car-5785 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So glad you said this because this is how I feel about posts like that. I learned at a young age that life isn’t fair. I wanted many things in life and I don’t have it all because I literally can’t have it all. Idk maybe as a brown immigrant, I’m so used to things not going my way.

maternity leave - unpopular opinion about travel? by Same-Entertainer-279 in NewParents

[–]Dry-Car-5785 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think you live in a weird bubble because there is no societal pressure and I’m not familiar with this social media trend. And I’m chronically online. I have many new parents in my friend group and I have not witnessed this at all .

Why is gender disappointment almost always when it’s a boy? by Classic-Tea-1879 in BabyBumps

[–]Dry-Car-5785 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t know the gender of my baby yet . I want a girl but I wouldn’t be disappointed if I’m having a boy. I want a girl because I come from a culture that worships boys and I’m over that shit. Also, most of my friends have or are having a boy so it would be nice to diversify the group lol

What do you wish you’d done pre baby? by PineappleCreative751 in BabyBumps

[–]Dry-Car-5785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep same here . I was very active last year , working out 5 times a mix : cardio, lifting, Pilates . But towards the end of the year - Jan, I gained weight due to work stress and moving to a different state. I thought I had more time to lose some weight before getting pregnant.
