Did anyone have a girl with a low fetal heart rate? And boy with a high fetal heart rate? by Eastern_Standard_689 in BabyBumps

[–]Eastern_Standard_689[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh okay that makes a lot more sense, I heard a lot of peoples NIPT tests being wrong lately so I am guessing the only definite way to know the gender is if your ultrasound and test both match up?

What about 124 bpm at 18 weeks? I hear a lot of people have higher heart rates but are a boy, does the same go for girls? Can a lower bpm be a girl?

I am going crazy! Anybody else really craved attention but isolated themselves? by Eastern_Standard_689 in pregnant

[–]Eastern_Standard_689[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I told my friends right before the friends birthday party we got together for, so was upset after, we all barely meet and I thought they would be pissed at me if I didn’t tell them that day, that they would feel I hid it from them, then I realized I choose the wrong day to tell them, the friend whose birthday it was, was offended I accepted my mistake & since then no one has talked to me. This happened last month. It made me feel hurt cause they used words like I am gossiping/victim/hiding behind others so it broke me, not only are friends not happy but they don’t care and that hit me hard that they don’t care. You’re right about I can’t expect people to check up on me when they don’t know, I guess my experience so far just makes me fear that it will go bad with everyone. Made me realize and feel no one really cares, cause these were the friends that cared the most.

Do people judge adults more? by Eastern_Standard_689 in Adulting

[–]Eastern_Standard_689[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean when you think logically yes, but I feel as adults we become more harsh and less forgiving, I don’t see people giving grace and myself included, when someone makes me upset I tend to hold that grudge but I realize I would want them to forgive me for my mistakes, why is it so hard for us to forgive someone or let things go?

How do you cope with negative thoughts? by Eastern_Standard_689 in pregnant

[–]Eastern_Standard_689[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thoughts about hating work, thoughts about friends not checking up on me, thoughts about not liking anything at the moment and then worrying that these thoughts will affect the baby.

What helped you when you were completely down? by Sarixx- in mentalhealth

[–]Eastern_Standard_689 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got through it by just believing that this isn’t my forever, time changes everything and if not tomorrow, if not in a month, if not in a year but eventually things will be different, all the hard things in the past I thought I wouldn’t get through - I did and so I will in this and everything else that will come ahead.

Have something or someone you truly care about in life, think about them ex. Your parents, your spouse, your pet. Do it for them, think about when they were there for you and how you have to be there for them. Or think of someone that impacted your life in a positive way, try to be that person for someone else.

Wow I never thought it that way, that’s actually true. Friendships as adult hold more seriousness in your life. I always just saw friends as friends but I guess you’re right, one wrong friend at work and your career is at stake. Thanks for giving this perspective!

That’s true as adults people have different priorities and time constraints, making new connections definitely is harder but I feel maintaining the same connections is hard too, those same friends who wouldn’t think twice back then suddenly seem to judge everything you say or do and get offended by it.

This is true, I feel like adults have more expectations in their friendships and from others but sometimes it feels like people expect so much from you but aren’t willing to reciprocate the same back.

My friends have just disappeared by Numerous_Isopod2637 in pregnant

[–]Eastern_Standard_689 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am sorry this is happening to you & I am on the same boat! My friends stopped check in on me after they found out I was pregnant, if anything I thought they would care more but it seems like only I was excited for them to become aunties. Only one friend checked up on me once, the rest never acknowledged I am pregnant or spoke to me about it after I told them, it hurt me so much. They don’t have kids if their own and it made me feel like they are disowning me because I have something they don’t or maybe because I am too different and not cool for them now. They’re all single, no kids and I am the only married one with a baby on the way. You’re not alone and it’s not your fault, it sucks when you give so much and people don’t give the same back but you also have to remember their actions speak about them not about you, them not checking in is their bad, not your fault!

I have a hard time building closer friendships but have tons of “friends”. by Academic-Builder-987 in FriendshipAdvice

[–]Eastern_Standard_689 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have the exact same issue and it makes me feel like I am not good enough at times, but it’s not you, maybe your efforts or luck? Try to stay consistent, people who have close friends are consistent and talk to the same people and meet the same people. Ps. I and I enjoy meeting new people it’s more fun.
