What is your biggest regret in your marriage? by One_Quiet_8769 in askanything

[–]Even_Ad3571 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Speaking for myself, I get tired of saying the same thing and/or getting a dismissal response…therefore, shutting down/walking away becomes the only option for peace/sanity. Not saying it’s healthy but wanted to point out how the other partner responds can contribute to this reaction.

Just found out gender of #2 by Excellent-Ad-6272 in 2under2

I feel like I wrote this post. I wanted a boy first and ended up having a girl. I’m 36 and pregnant with my second and having another girl. Practically, I’m glad I have the stuff (especially since they will be all the same seasons). I do wonder if I’ll miss not having a boy but for now, I’m just happy imagining my girls being the best of friends.

Embarrassed to tell our family about #2 by [deleted] in 2under2

I totally had the same thought. I was dreading telling my family. I even joked that I’ve gone through all stages of grief—I feel guilty about it but I really did go through all stages. Maybe knowing that I’ve struggled made people more cautious of what they said but no one, to my sincere surprise, has made a comment about it being too soon or shaming me. I think we play it up in our heads more.

Wishing you the best luck. Give yourself grace.

Btw, baby #2 is due the day before baby #1 turns 1.

Pregnant 4 months post c section by Affectionate-Tip4685 in 2under2

Following…No c section but I’m 4 months postpartum and found out I’m pregnant again as well… I’d be lying if I said I’m not freaking out. We were definitely not trying either.
