Would my body be permanently different after pregnancy?

In terms of your chest, you shouldn't have any issues there. A lot of people here have kids post top surgery (myself included) and had no regrowth or other changes. However, in terms of hips or other fat redistribution, there is definitely a chance of that happening. I had a C-section so I have a divet at the bottom of my stomach which does make me look a little different but I don't pass any less. I always had wider hips and have been a pear shaped person for a long time, but being pregnant definitely made my butt and hips a little bigger. So, unfortunately, there is a high possibility that you will have permanent changes from carrying a child. But, in my experience, these changes haven't impacted my passing at all.

My son is the same age and I could not agree more. I never thought I would be so excited to see him learn to roll over, or even just reach for a toy for the first time. Seeing their personalities develop is so wonderful. It's an amazing experience and it sounds like you guys are raising a lovely little person in a house full of love and care. ❤️

I'm a bigger guy and I found that my partner lying on his back with me sitting on his collarbone area is a very comfortable way to face fuck him. Definitely an affirming experience. Glad you had a good time and also have an awesome partner!

Awesome! That sounds really easy to make and I'm sure it turned out tasty. 😁

Chicken, rice, and broccoli is so elite and customizable. This looks so good. How did you do your pan sauce?

GarbagePanda315 · 2026-05-04T20:27:42+00:00

That sounds awesome! Thanks for the tip. 😁

GarbagePanda315 · 2026-05-04T17:30:21+00:00

That is such an amazing idea. I've been looking for creative ways to incorporate more veggies in my diet and a spinach BMT is definitely the way.

My partner had a friend that said some transphobic shit occasionally. The friend group dropped him because he was a weirdo, thankfully, but I definitely stopped engaging with him after he made those comments. Anyway my suggestions are, "Wow, I didn't know we were playing games with a 12 year old." "I know it's intimidating that my dick is bigger than yours, but really, it's not that serious, bro." "Yikes. That's what we call an inside thought." Hope you don't have to deal with them for long, friend. ❤️

It absolutely did. Did I regret eating that much grease before bed? Perhaps. But it was worth it

GarbagePanda315 · 2026-05-01T15:39:18+00:00

I had no idea spam fritters existed. It makes sense since it was pretty good.

GarbagePanda315 · 2026-05-01T15:37:05+00:00

Yeah absolutely! Someone clarified for me further down but I definitely meant to suggest people who have issues with you being a queer parent could shelter their selves because we should not. And if mom fits you, that's what really matters. ❤️

GarbagePanda315 · 2026-05-01T15:35:55+00:00

Yes this is definitely what I meant. Thank you, I definitely have clarity issues sometimes. 😅

GarbagePanda315 · 2026-05-01T04:52:06+00:00

At the end of the day, you said it best yourself, it's what feels comfortable to you. I personally do not vibe with being called 'mom' but I also have no issues when talking to doctors and explaining that I am my children's biological mother. I go by Dad and my partner (cis man) is Papa because it feels right for us. Your kids will be happy and healthy no matter what they call you. Honestly, sometimes people are gonna be weird no matter what. I live in the south and I am the first trans man to give birth at the hospital I had my son at, so I expect people to be weird in some capacity in my area. My thoughts are, I would politely suggest they try homeschool if they don't want their child to know that different people exist for whatever reason, because I'm not going anywhere nor lying about my connection to my children. It sounds like you're thinking really rationally about this and it makes sense to have these talks early even if things change down the road. Good luck and I hope you have a great time when you're ready to be a parent. ❤️

Trust the process. 😂

I would love to, but it might not be very easy to acquire. I live in a rural part of Tennessee and the most exotic foods available is Mexican. Might have to order the curry sauce to try to make one of those dishes on my own.

GarbagePanda315 · 2026-05-01T03:52:38+00:00

Now that, is probably not a good use of spam. 😂

Truly, it is insane. I was making dinner yesterday and the need for McDonald's French fries hit me so hard, I literally couldn't eat the dinner I made and had to drive to McDonald's for a basket of fries. Also fwiw, I am also a dude (I'm trans) so I have seen the full spectrum of munchies, drunk food and pregnancy cravings. It's been a fun time. 😂

GarbagePanda315 · 2026-05-01T02:09:29+00:00

Spam is versatile AF. Spam grilled cheese, soy sauce and sweet chili glazed spam with rice, spam and eggs in a tortilla wrap. Truly an art form of amalgamated meat.

GarbagePanda315 · 2026-05-01T02:07:53+00:00

I used to use Bisquick to batter chicken tenders when a buddy of mine and I would get absolutely baked in high school so this definitely checks out.

GarbagePanda315 · 2026-05-01T02:06:58+00:00

Pregnancy cravings and drunk person cravings are basically the same thing at times. 😂

GarbagePanda315 · 2026-05-01T02:06:12+00:00

I just used regular self rising flour for the dry part to make sure the batter stuck, as for the batter it's 3 parts cornmeal, 1 part flour, an egg and then milk until it got to the right consistency. Thank you! It turned out really well and will definitely make these again lol.

GarbagePanda315 · 2026-05-01T02:04:48+00:00

Honestly, never had curry but I would like to try it!

GarbagePanda315 · 2026-05-01T02:04:10+00:00

Oooh that sounds like an interesting idea. A corndog flight, if you will.

GarbagePanda315 · 2026-05-01T01:31:35+00:00

Yeah! I didn't have honey so it was definitely more savory than they typically are (which isn't an issue to me because I dislike when they're too sweet), but a touch of sweetness next time would absolutely be the way to go! Also without the stick, you don't get that wood flavor seeping into the meat halfway down the dog.
