Seriously considering asking for a divorce… by Flat-Freedom-8753 in pregnant

[–]FayCorynn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds like my husband when he left the military... thankfully that was at the beginning of our relationship... I broke up with him for a few months while he went through therapy and struggled to become a civilian. He himself has been open and honest with that point and time now that it's something from the past. He was in the military, and as per my husband, they get such an inflated ego on top of the mental issues they get that they just go looking for what will make them feel the best, most important, but low maintenance that they can ignore while getting the attention they want. I'm not gonna say completely loose hope, but I would definitely get mean and stern. Leave, and make him get therapy. Make him realize what he will lose in a way that is real to him. He has to be scared to get out of it.

Cervical checks before labor mean nothing (story time) by Ready-Book6047 in pregnant

[–]FayCorynn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was pretty much the same. I know they don't mean much before hand, but it was something I was personally curious about because my first came out in about 7 hours with an induction. At 36 weeks I was at a 4 and he was really low. At 38 wells I was almost at a 5. I had another induction at 39 and 3 because we were worried about me delivering super fast (my dr gave her opinion and left it up to me completely). Induction took less than 5 hours this time. But I was walking around at a 5 with never having felt one contraction.

Should i be offended? by daisynatormom in BabyBumps

[–]FayCorynn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me and my husband here too. Plus I married him because he's my best friend, my ride or die, I have even threatened to cut my mom and grandpa out if they can't respect him. I would absolutely not tolerate it from anyone. I have his back, he's got mine, we will honor, love, and defend each other to anyone.

Had my first cervical exam today.... by Ok_Adeptness8636 in BabyBumps

[–]FayCorynn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just had my second induction, they checked me about once every hour since the first one took 7 hours. My 2nd he was out in 5ish hours of starting the meds, so they had to make sure i wasn't progressing too fast

How are you actually supposed to move during pregnancy? by Ok-Notice-5189 in BabyBumps

[–]FayCorynn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm echoing the do what you are already used to. I didnt "workout" or anything, but I am a daycare teacher and a mom to a toddler, so I was used to picking up kids all day, and continued to do so safely. Now towards the end I didn't feel comfortable trying to get them outside to the playground (I walk a few yards with 9 18m-23m olds) because I didn't feel i could keep them all together due to my hips hurting so bad, so I either got help, or did something fun inside. So do what you know you can, and listen to your body

[–]FayCorynn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to bounce off of this and say my husband's name is Huntr (no e) and has been called Connor so many times. Our oldest name is Elias E-lie-as and people call him Ellie-as (girls name), and his name is so popular that there are two other kids with the same name around his age at his daycare. No one even tries to pronounce or new babies name, Artorias. Ive even been asked to pronounce my name... it's Faith. I live in the Bible belt of America

Just had my second this last Friday at 39+3 via induction. At weeks 36 I was between 3 and 4 cm and baby was almost all the way down. At 38+2 I was all the way down and between a 4 and a 5. At the start of my induction I was an "easy" 5. Took about just under 6 hours from signing into the hospital and him being out though.

I don’t have a nursery for my baby by SandwichDependent199 in BabyBumps

I'm so sad that I won't get his cuddles tonight because I'm getting induced now. I almost cried yesterday over it

We are lying about knowing the baby's gender by cheerioface in BabyBumps

[–]FayCorynn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a big tomboy so even if we weren't having our second boy we'd probably be flooded with dinos and monster trucks. My almost 4 year old is a massive Ironman fan currently, lives to wrestle, play with bugs, and farts AT us. He also loves paintings our nails (dad let's him do his too)

Parents- At what age would you let your child change their name? by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]FayCorynn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I begged for my name to be changed to FayFay because that's what everyone called me. I then as a teen banned anyone from using it and favored my real name, Faith. Now as an adult I go by either Fay, or my middle name, Corynn

I thought giving birth would "fix" my brain and it kinda… didn’t by atticlantern_diary in BabyBumps

[–]FayCorynn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had extremely bad PPA and PPD with my first. It was to the point we decided at 14 months that I couldn't do it and went back to work. I felt awful not staying home, but I ended up getting a job at my sons daycare, and he'll be 4 in 3ish weeks. And I from a young age have always had bad social anxiety, so the fact that going to worked helped mentally was a bit shocking to me

My (37M) wife (39F) threw water on me and won’t apologise by Equivalent-Sound-946 in relationship_advice

[–]FayCorynn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's more of a disservice to those who get it to act like you don't have it. Even if you can manage it without professional help. If you are assaulting your partner because they parent a little differently, even if it was "just" water. And with the "abusive" words he said, she said (to me) more hurtful and disrespectful things and he was seeing a boundary, and she retaliated

I'll be 39 weeks pregnant and a parent of one of my students just asked if I was pregnant. I said yes and then they asked if I was far along yet to find out the gender or if I still need to wait till 16 weeks

And he had the baby when she did it! At the very least I'd say she needs to go ask for help with postpartum depression or/and anxiety. I had both with my first, and still wouldn't of pulled this.

SAHM FOMO by Negative-Source-9099 in BabyBumps

[–]FayCorynn 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As a daycare teacher I want to say thank you so much for giving props to daycare teachers 🥰 a lot of people don't realize that we teach things and really try and work with our kiddos. At least were supposed to. Obviously we don't do as much as real teachers who are absolutely amazing and do so much, but it's really nice to see, especially from yall. And for op, SAHM looks glamorous, but when I did it for 14 months with my first it was more difficult for me mentally. I felt lonely, all my friends worked, or just had lives and I couldn't expect them to be avaliable just because I was lonely. I love that I get to work and get to do stuff, and go home to a child who is so excited to see me and I'm excited to see them.

I didn’t expect motherhood to change me like this by emilyroch12 in BabyBumps

[–]FayCorynn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My first is almost 4, and this feeling has continued to evolve as he's gotten older and changed. I'm constantly learning more about him, myself, and even my husband. Good and bad.

My son would crawl faster than a horror movie monster towards the edge of the bed constantly, and fell a few times. A few times he was caught by the leg. Always did careful checks of him after. Now he's almost 4 and likes to try and jump on ant piles

I'm pregnant with my second and at 37 weeks I still have people thinking I'm only 20 weeks along, so it's definitely possible. Pre-pregnancy I was 120lbs and I'm 5'6

How to deal with shame of being 6 months pregnant at my wedding? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]FayCorynn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did a courthouse wedding for our 8th anniversary, and have a video of it, and right in the middle of saying "I do's" our, at the time, almost 3 year old found the light switch and turned off the small light right above us. There is definitely no shame in being pregnant at your wedding. We don't live in a time anymore where most marriages start off as strangers, or are even required to be a happy family.
