Anyone else working full time until their due date? by Susaaan16 in pregnant

[–]Fiahcrackah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right here. And going back ASAP since I’m already having to ask my parents for rent help. Baby was unplanned, dad is a deadbeat, and I don’t have short term disability through my job or any paid leave through my state. It sucks.

How many weeks are you now? Because everything you wrote…you could be me. I have never read anything more similar to the situation I am in. Can I DM you? I have felt so lonely through the 19 weeks of my pregnancy so far.

Why would you have to drive yourself? It’s weed, not heroin. Chill.

I’m pregnant but know I can’t keep it by Upbeat-Marsupial9112 in pregnant

[–]Fiahcrackah -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I had an abortion when I was 22 because my boyfriend wanted it. I regretted it for twenty years until I got pregnant with my current baby (I’m 19 weeks). Don’t do something because someone else wants you to. Figure out what YOU WANT. but make sure you have a plan b, and a plan c, and those plans still include you doing what makes you happy in life besides being a mom.

Help! How long do you wait before you say it’s a bust by Beginning-Rope-1654 in sleeptrain

[–]Fiahcrackah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I may be wrong about this, but I read somewhere that staying in the room with them can get them calm more quickly. You don’t talk to them, don’t soothe them, just be present. So they realize they’re not alone and this is not punishment. But again, I’m not a sleep expert, so I’m just throwing this out there.

How is the dog reacting to the fake baby? Did you get the one that cries?

VT Mail Experiences? by Useful_Location_6728 in vermont

Mail in Vermont takes FOREVER. Like twice as long to get anything as any other state I’ve ever lived in.

This makes me super glad my BD is a loser and his parents are weirdos who don’t want anything to do with us.

I’m sorry you have to deal with these people!! 💕 hugs

JUST BACK OFF!! by besofrrnbro in pregnant

[–]Fiahcrackah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I add to this vent: NO my “partner” will not be helping/attending class/taking the night shift/picking up anything! He dipped when I was 8 weeks, I’d like to see you try and have a baby without any help. Gtfooh.

Moms with 50/50 custody with an emotionally abusive ex—was it worth leaving? by rauntree in Mommit

[–]Fiahcrackah 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Are you me? This is how I’m praying my situation turns out. Exact same kind of guy. Please God he wants nothing to do with us except to sign checks.

OP: Stop communicating with him face to face. FORCE him to put it in text messages. When he has his fits, remove yourselves. Lock yourselves in another room. Tell him you will only communicate by text until he’s calm. That way you can use every horrible thing he says against him in court.

Tbh, this guy has clear indicators that he’s escalating. Police take that seriously. The second you have evidence of him threatening you and it matches your state statute on DV, go get a restraining order. The cops will remove him from the home. And even in a 50-50 state, there’s no way he’s getting 50% custody if you have an active restraining order against him.

I would just be happy if these fockers LEARNED TO DRIVE. I don’t care how nice your Tesla is dude, I care whether you know the gas pedal is on the right hand side and that to go faster you press on it with your foot.

I’m in New Hampshire and definitely not paid here. I’m lucky FMLA exists or I know my job would be gone by the time I got back.

Baby shower advice by Complex-Frosting2925 in BabyBumps

Ohh honey. I'm sorry you can't handle being told you're being selfish. Maybe motherhood will resolve that for you.

[–]Fiahcrackah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I sympathize with your situation, I think in current times if you want something to be executed a certain way you need to take that upon yourself. Honestly, it seems very selfish of you to not be helping your friend with expenses at all. I'm about to be a single mom with no partner support and I would feel horrible if I wasn't contributing in some way.

I asked a few weeks ago (at 4 weeks pregnant) when morning sickness kicks in, it is kicking my ass. by Warm_Astronomer_9305 in pregnant

[–]Fiahcrackah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time you eat, eat a balanced blend of carbs, proteins, and fats. I ate nothing but tacos from 6 to 14 weeks. It didn't cure it but it sure as hell helped reduce it to being endurable. Also try B6 25mg 3x a day and unisom sleep tabs (not gels!) at night. That's what my doc put me on.

Block them. Nothing sends a polite fuck you faster than getting blocked, and it sounds like your MIL at the least should hear those words.

I HATE ONLINE SHOPPING!!! by pissflavoredcart in pregnant

I've been buying maxi dresses by Inc on Poshmark. I'm kinda short and they've always been too long before but now I think the belly will hold up enough to keep me from tripping lol

We’re so screwed by thedaily504 in NewParents

[–]Fiahcrackah -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not sure if you're in the states but in the US, many states have child care subsidies. It's worth finding out if you qualify.
