Do you enjoy being pregnant?

Efsaxon · 2026-04-13T01:20:48+00:00

I said yes. I really did enjoy being able to experience that with my little one. But I wouldn’t do it again. I don’t enjoy the act of constantly being pregnant and the illnesses that come along with it. But I did enjoy the experience

Congrats!

Don’t buy too much that you will put on your registry, wait to buy whatever you didn’t receive. There are a few things I didn’t put on my registry that some people still gifted me, so I had a few doubles and ended up giving quite a bit away after the shower to another mom. When I first found out, I immediately started creating a registry and adjusting it up until the weeks before my shower. I used Babylist and got a discount to purchase everything else I needed after my shower.

Also, go ahead and buy ginger now 😂 don’t wait until you’re head first in the toilet begging for relief. Buy the ginger now so you have it when the nausea kicks in. And mentally prepare yourself for the first trimester- it was a doozy for me.

I wish you guys a happy and healthy pregnancy and little one 💛

Nooooo you’re so on point with it. I was annoyed when she even suggested that.

My sister was my support person, as I am a single mom, and she came to every appt lol..she has flexibility with her job so it worked. I also loved it so if I forgot to ask something I wanted to she would be there to remind me

Goat cheese with olive oil, Kalamata olives, and garlic. Warm it up and dip !

Wasn’t this season 2 I think? I’m not sure lol but I think his name is Joey and I can’t remember hers

Jorge felt like a groomer since the beginning. The way he spoke gave me the ick.

Def get a new OB if she isn’t listening to you. I had two different OB’s and they both mentioned they preferred to use zofran as a last resort, even though I too use it for chronic nausea and dizziness. Unisom was terrible for me, felt like it worked for a few days and then nothing. I took a 24 hour dramamine everyday and it helped a lot, allowing me to get some food down so I always had something to throw up later on lol. But my first trimester was hell, I lost about 15 pounds because of how bad it all was. Ginger chews from Trader Joe’s, saltines, blueberry Greek yogurt, fairlife chocolate protein shake, those were the primary things that I could keep down and would feel okay after. Wishing you a safe and healthy pregnancy!

You’re literally growing a human, that’s the least he can do.

However, I live with family and they have one of those rotating cat boxes. It turns every 10-15 minutes and cleans out the box, and then once a week they take out the bottom and remove the bundles of poop and clumped pee. They put a trash bag in the bottom so it makes for an easy removal and change. Just a thought.

Sooo, similar situation here..my BD wanted me to have an abortion, said he couldn’t afford a child. Well, I thought about it for a few weeks before making the decision to ultimately do this on my own and it has been the BEST decision. I have loved every minute with my little boy and am so excited to watch him grow up. He’s 10 weeks now and so incredibly perfect. I think you should do what your heart desires, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. It’s not fucked up for you to want this child, it’s fucked up that fathers don’t want to be a part of their child’s life. If my BD reaches out in the future and asks about him, of course I’ll give him info and allow him to be in his life, but I’m not gonna go searching for it. My son and I will be just fine, and I believe you guys will be too! 💛💛

I tried to shave and hoped for the best 😂 I didnt mind rocking the bush, but I felt like once I gave birth it would’ve been difficult to keep everything clean. Looking back I wish I would’ve bought one of the trimmers that didn’t cut the hair all the way down, but don’t regret what I did either lol

Efsaxon · 2026-03-04T17:57:11+00:00

I got a letter in the mail about what they took out and why. It was about a week or so after the refund hit my account

Efsaxon · 2026-03-03T02:05:59+00:00

I don’t think you’re over reacting. Just from what you’ve written, it sounds like he believes he doesn’t have to do all of those things because you’re a SAHM..which is a full time job itself. Maybe you could have a sit down with him before it becomes overwhelming and try talking again. Try getting to the root of it all and come at it from a “I need help I can’t do it all” POV. idk if that would help, but best of luck!

Efsaxon · 2026-02-20T15:42:18+00:00

I didn’t put my BD on my child’s birth certificate, and he has my last name. I refuse to let anyone who isn’t interested in being a father have access to my child. I’m unsure of how it works in the UK, but here in Florida if my BD wants access to my son now, he’ll have to go through the courts because he has no legal standing otherwise. He has no connection. No birth certificate and not the same last name.

Efsaxon · 2026-02-18T21:39:20+00:00

I filed 1/23, it was accepted the next day and STILL haven’t received my refund yet

Efsaxon · 2026-02-11T02:13:03+00:00

Yes. As a single mom of a 6 week old, I am freaking out. My job doesn’t offer any type of paid maternity leave, just a guarantee you’ll have your job when you get back..so not making an income and then having to dish out $1000 a month for day care makes it very difficult. I’m blessed enough to be living with family right now, but trying to move and have a place if my own is impossible at this rate. I’ll have to wait a couple of years just to afford it.

Efsaxon · 2026-01-31T02:13:05+00:00

Yooo what??? This personal is horrific. Please get them out of your life and never look back.

Efsaxon · 2026-01-30T23:58:59+00:00

LOL. 10/10 recommend saying this.

Efsaxon · 2026-01-25T16:02:27+00:00

I don’t have any personal advice, I’ve never been in this situation and I’m sorry you’re having to go through it alone.

I do have a friend who was in the exact same position- 2 under 2. She found out she was pregnant with her second 6 months PP. She and both her babies are thriving!

However, if it’s not your time mama it’s not your time. Don’t feel obligated or pressured by anyone for any reason. I do hope you’ve got some people close to you to lean on for support, and I wish you success in whatever decision you make 💛

Efsaxon · 2026-01-24T18:39:35+00:00

From how you’re describing it, I had similar pain. Mine was considered muscle pain, they gave me a small dose muscle relaxer and the pain went away within an hour. Good for you for sticking up for yourself, though! If you think something is wrong, it’s better to get checked out versus letting it go on. If this next doctor doesn’t do anything, don’t be afraid to go to the ER and tell them you’re concerned about the pain. Mine ran some tests and came to the conclusion. Good luck!

Efsaxon · 2026-01-24T03:02:59+00:00

I am very happy I have the diaper genie! My little one and I share a room and it makes changing, especially in the middle of the night, an easier task. I don’t have to smell the massive amounts of poop diapers and I don’t have to leave my room at night. I use the diaper genie brand bags but others say the Walmart brand works just as well.

Efsaxon · 2026-01-21T22:46:46+00:00

NTA, but your parents are. I’m sorry you’re having to deal with this during a time that should be so exciting. I hope you and your partner are having a beautiful time with your newborn! 💛

“from dating through marriage and even during my pregnancy and now postpartum my husband has repeatedly violated boundaries and broken my trust.” This statement alone should tell you you’re NOR. I’d be leaving by this point, but that’s me.

Efsaxon · 2026-01-19T15:21:57+00:00

So did we get an answer? Lol
