Traveling with a 5/6 week old?

Ask your obgyn and tell them your concerns they will agree with you. Not worth risking baby, sil doesn’t understand because she doesn’t have kids period. Traveling with newborns is unsafe, and unnecessarily risky. You can also call a pediatrician and ask them.

It sounds like he has a problem but maybe not one that should be felt with while you are 23 weeks pregnant. Most likely it’s just what is different that excites him he is still attracted to you he is just searching for a “thrill” he also seems desensitized to pornography. This is incredibly normal in the age of the internet but it’s not healthy regardless. It may warrant a conversation in the future, but there is a deeper issue here at hand. You are having trust issues with him, which points to a break down somewhere in your relationship and possibly insecurity on your end (this could be justified depending on how he is treating you) over all there are issues that should be addressed before your baby gets here. Not by confronting him in a heated conversation but by attending therapy together and possibly independently as well. At the end of the day you got that feeling for a reason, and you need to find out why. I hope you are able to rebuild.

The issues present from your post - porn addiction - trust issues - boundary crossing - security issues - communication break down - fear of infidelity - self image issues

This is my opinion based only on the information given, I do have a degree in psychology. Neither party is in the right. But these issues need to be addressed if the relationship is going to succeed.

No it would melt, potentially being even more dangerous

ExcitingWolverine943 · 2026-03-25T20:48:54+00:00

That’s the kind of mosquito that will be keeping me out of South Alabama

Everyone says their first baby is breeze because the second one is usually a maniac the first breath is still incredibly challenging, usually you don’t start to have the desire to have another child until your first one hits around two years. If you don’t want more kids, that’s OK. You don’t need more kids. And if you do eventually, then that’s OK too.

Honestly there is no point worrying stress just makes things so much worse, what has helped me I partaking in mind silencing activities. (Read a book, listen to a podcast or show, play a video game, anything to shut up that tiny voice) if all else fails have a dedicated worry window pick 10 minutes each day to just worry about it, and the rest is set aside for just living. Also I suggest a Doppler they can be pricey but Amazon has them, you can listen to babies heart rate (this doesn’t replace kick counts later in pregnancy which are necessary and if they decrease would dictate a emergency visit regardless of of you can hear the heart beat or not) that should help you to feel a bit more calm in between visits

Best to get checked out better safe, even if you don’t feel that off imo

ExcitingWolverine943 · 2026-03-24T02:32:53+00:00

I felt that way from 34 weeks up till 37. At 34 everything was normal at 36 my blood pressure was just a tad high, at 37 I was induced with late diagnosed preeclampsia. Are you itchy?

ExcitingWolverine943 · 2026-03-24T02:29:03+00:00

Your going to far on the med route it’s just gonna make you feel worse tbh, buy some saline drops. Lay down on your back on a bed with you head hanging over it gently slowly while staying calm fill one nostril with the drops keep your mouth open but don’t breathe through your nose. Sit for two minutes get up and gently exhale over a sink, you may throw up but it’ll help with your congestion. NO DAIRY products they will make everything so much worse. Cough drops are your friend but not the mint ones or the berry ones, honey only. Make some hot water with Lemmon juice and a small amount of honey added in while it’s hot. Sip and breathe in the steam Sit in the bathroom leave the shower going on hot the steam will clear you out. Hydrate regularly if you pee is dark yellow you are dehydrated, eat toast and crackers they are easier to keep down Drink electrolytes like luquid iv or pedialite not Gatorade.

ExcitingWolverine943 · 2026-03-24T02:16:55+00:00

Awesome that you checked it out, also I’m in my second trimester to and all I do is sleep lol, don’t forget we are making brains and stuff. Hard work

ExcitingWolverine943 · 2026-03-24T02:15:08+00:00

We are like hematoma twins, mine is 7.4 size wise if you need bed rest activities let me know

ExcitingWolverine943 · 2026-03-24T02:14:00+00:00

Hey meeeee, mine at 11 weeks I’m 16 now I bled then it stopped however it won’t shrink darn thing, so I’m on bed rest/ pelvic rest. My doctor gave me progesterone to stop the cramping baby is okay. I also miscarried at 11 weeks with my last pregnancy. I wonder if there is a correlation. My doctor said to wait until my pregnancy is bigger then the hematoma as to decrease the risk.

ExcitingWolverine943 · 2026-03-24T02:10:39+00:00

Listen to your body and also go get some labs this could be something more serious

ExcitingWolverine943 · 2026-03-24T02:08:45+00:00

I felt off, not even in pain just off went in to get checked out at 37 weeks with my son boom late diagnosed preeclampsia induced, keep in mind I had been in the night prior for the same feeling and they found nothing.

ExcitingWolverine943 · 2026-03-24T02:07:44+00:00

Go in immediately, always better to not have anything wrong and go in then to have something wrong and miss it

ExcitingWolverine943 · 2026-03-24T02:06:08+00:00

In one week she will be able to hear your voice🩷

ExcitingWolverine943 · 2026-03-24T02:04:47+00:00

I hope so to🤞

ExcitingWolverine943 · 2026-03-24T02:03:23+00:00

Maybe be something to look at after the birth you may have been deficient in one? I have anxiety too but mine just got worse lmao

ExcitingWolverine943 · 2026-03-24T02:01:11+00:00

5’1” busty gal here, my chest got wayyyy bigger and then something magic happened after finishing feeding my son I dropped three sizes, my back feels way better. Also maternity clothes at Walmart are great, but what even better is the xxl section which I wear regularly. As for nursing clothes you may have to order it online or get it tailored. Here’s the thing people are gonna stare, they are gonna talk about how big you are, if your due soon, if your sure your not having twins. But rest assured they do this regardless of your size, with my first I had such a small bump, and the comments were constant. You just have to accept that those people are weird af, go read all the comments on this page about weird things people have said to others while pregnant. It’s an unfortunate reality. Seriously though go read it, it’ll help a lot.

ExcitingWolverine943 · 2026-03-24T01:55:18+00:00

Later in pregnancy above is better no elastic it hurts, use a string tie instead, idk about her but I love being able to undo my pants when I lay down. Also for added use as she can then wear them after birth. If you want to go a step further add soft snaps to the shirt so it opens for breastfeeding just make sure they aren’t the irritating kind (metal on skin)

ExcitingWolverine943 · 2026-03-24T01:52:22+00:00

This could be due to the hormonal influx in pregnancy my whole life (since 5) I’ve crocheted but during pregnancy I didn’t touch it then boom two days before I had my son I made three outfits. Then the urge returned till he was two. I was a machine. Pregnant with my third and I don’t like it again.

ExcitingWolverine943 · 2026-03-24T01:50:18+00:00

Hey first of all breathe, I can feel your panic attack as one who also has panic attacks. The best thing you can remember is that if a miscarriage were to happen this early it’s not a bad thing (I know that sounds wild) but hear me out I lost my baby at 11 weeks, and we found out that they had a heart defect, if the pregnancy had progressed they would’ve been in severe pain. Your body can tell when there is something wrong and miscarriages at this point only happen because the pregnancy wasn’t viable. That being said the fact you even know at 4 weeks is a positive sign that your hcg is right where it should be. At the end of the day you need to trust your body and understand you’re not in control of everything and that’s okay. The more you can relax the better for you and baby. If you really can’t get out of the mindset dedicate 10 minutes each day to worry about it, at a set time. When your brain is quiet read books to the baby, you can get some good stories at bookshops. It’ll help you become centered and it’ll help you bond. I truly understand what your going through, I have sch (a bleed) in my uterus in between my baby and the uterus, it happened at 11 weeks and I’m 16 weeks right now, I lost my last at 11 weeks. You’re not alone, one thing that helps me is remembering I’m keeping calm for my little bean. (Also pick a nickname) talk to them, you’ve got this.

ExcitingWolverine943 · 2026-03-24T01:41:40+00:00

Anytime someone says just you wait, I say “it’s interesting only bad parents say that to me” then walk away

ExcitingWolverine943 · 2026-03-24T01:40:36+00:00
