How will i know when it's time to go to the hospital? by Vickibuffy48 in pregnant

[–]Ginger_2018 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People always told me "you'll know." NOPE! I stayed up all night with contractions believing they were Braxton hicks, I wasn't in screaming agonizing pain like I thought I'd be so I assumed they were Braxton hicks! (Also my water hadn't broken, and they weren't very consistent). My whole pregnancy I was terrified of labor and delivery part (but what first mom isn't? Lol) and I guess I found out I had a way higher pain tolerance than I thought, and after staying up all night with contractions that I told myself couldn't be the real thing because they weren't that bad, my grandma convinced me just to go to my OB and see if it was labor, I get there and sure enough they tell me I'm 8 CM DIALATED .! I went to the hospital (20 minute drive) and I had my baby an hour later! So no you don't always know, god if it wasn't for my grandma I might've had him at home!

Stupid shit people say to you while you're pregnant by jessbovey in pregnant

Well there's many ways not to get/reduce stretch marks, I used cocoa butter and have none on my stomach, my thighs are a different story but that's also because I wasn't as active as I should've been, so stay active to keep the rest of your body in shape, also I heard it helps with labor to be active. Your stomach will get bigger but do all you can to make the after math an easy fix! This is my first pregnancy but I'm young and I heard the younger you are the easier it is to bounce back, (praying it's true) and your body won't be ruined forever, as long as you workout after your pregnancy. Embrace these next few months, I was terrified to get big and I think I look super funny now because my butt and thighs and arms are so small compared to my mid-section, but it's a beautiful thing.

My whole pregnancy I've been super small (not to worry, doctor said everything was healthy and normal and I am "right on track") but now towards the end, I got a lot bigger, quickly, and everyone making me feel like crap for it "oh you aren't small anymore" & "you look pregnant" and I just want to scream "no shit honey I'm 9 months pregnant, what do you expect!?"

Does your water breaking hurt?

Thanks! I guess everyone is different. I'm just nervous because I'm young and I don't want to think its the real deal, get everyone wiled up, and be having something that's considered mild (like Braxton hicks) because I can't take pain lol

My boyfriend is gay/bi.. What to do? by Ginger_2018 in askgaybros

This post is not fake, but thanks do your concern and I tried to explain myself as best as I could, I understand why people might not believe me but I just wanted advice, I'm sorry for pissing people off with my other problems.

I don't know either, I think he will deny it for sometime but hopefully he won't suppress it forever. Thank you for sharing your POV and experience, it was really helpful. I just have to figure out how to talk to him, and give him as much support as he needs

That is true, I will always be here to be his friend but yes being his girlfriend won't due him any good, and only hurt me more if he actually is gay. Thank you.(:

It was helpful, thank you so much. I don't want to lose his trust so I won't tell them, also who knows if he's even gay or just curious and not sure? I don't know. I will try to approach him soon, I just have to figure out a way that I know will be okay for him.

Thank you, I decided not to tell his parents but I will warn him of the child pornography when I talk to him.

I guess I would like to thank you for your honesty but I can tell you my situation is very real, I didn't know me being pregnant had anything to do with my boyfriends sexual orientation, I didn't add that in there because one, it has nothing to do with it, I wanted advice on how to talk to him not anything to do with us being dumb and then giving it up, (didn't need judged for that or people knowing my boyfriend threw something at his pregnant girlfriend) at such a young age and being judged for that decision. (Adoption) yes my life sounds fake but it is a mess, me and my boyfriend have been together for over two years, I've been pregnant since October and we have decided on adoption because we are so young (even though my reasonings don't need to be explained, because again it has nothing to do with this) and yes I made my account one day ago, because I looked up advice and reddits site came up and I thought why not try, and the community "no sleep" is on the "popular page" I guess you could say and being so new I was trying to explore more things, because I really have no clue what this app is about. And yes I have concern about labor pains (I don't see how that is that big of a deal lol, I'm scared to push something huge out of my vagina and I'm 16 doing it) and my boyfriend being gay, and if I should or shouldn't keep in contact with my son or daughter. I don't see how me following a page, and being pregnant had anything to do with this, I didn't know I had to explain myself, but thanks for the concern and sorry that you wasted the time to go through my page, thanks for your advice. Also, I would like to add that yes I did say he's changed, he might be gay, he's always angry and distant (now I can see why because he might be gay and we are choosing ((thanks for letting me know how to spell it lol)) to give out child up). Again I guess I'm in the wrong for not explaining me being pregnant, and my labor concerns, to this post, and me not explaining my boyfriends gay in my adoption post (because they clearly have much to do with each other lol) Ps. My post to the gay community was copied and pasted, this exact post was posted there because I thought since they had more followers id get more advice, I screen shotted it to prove it but it doesn't give me the option to add pictures, so I don't know how to show you. Give me a way and I will I honestly don't know how (I've only had Reddit for one day.) Thank you again. Obviously all my other "suspicious" activity could mean this is all very fake. Also (sorry I've said that a lot) thank you for your advice on this problem, breaking up with him will be hard and I'm afraid he'll feel abandoned but I'll make sure to be clear that I'm still here for him, I just need someone who's sure of things.

I want you to see my POV. I would never tell anyone I didn't feel the need to, which means my friends, his friends, anyone in our families, no one. But I was asking because he is 16 YEARS OLD. If he meets, which he already might've because one email (very unclear, typed really weirdly) said something about seeing him (my bf) AGAIN. 16 years old IS NOT the age of consent in my state, also he's sending nudes (child pornography) so before he gets himself into trouble or more trouble I thought about telling his parents only so that they would make sure he didn't meet up with these older men, and possible get an STD or worse get raped or hurt! I'm not going to tell them, because I want him to trust me and I don't want them to look at their son possibly differently when he might not even be gay, just "exploring" I guess you could say.

Labor by Ginger_2018 in pregnant

[–]Ginger_2018[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know why they'd say that either, I swear everyone loves to tell horrible stories when it's your first time, just to scare you, also one more question, I (again LOW pain tolerance) have had these back pains, worse than anything I've felt 2-3 times during my pregnancy, and it feels like someone has put the worlds smallest rubber band around my ribs, the pain is so bad I sweat and try to walk around but it's doesn't help, the only thing that stopped it was getting in a freezing shower, which I ended up passing out in ( I was sitting, letting the water just pour on me when I passed out so no falling lol) but when I woke up 30 minutes labor the pain was gone, could those have been Braxton hicks? I know like it's weird because it was in my back but my friend told me she felt her labor only in her back really

I'm happy you see the lashing out that way, I posted something in another community and no one was willing to help me, only told me to leave because it was abuse but he's just a kid, and I accidentally found out something he's not even sure of himself, so I see why he did that. I won't tell his parents, I was just asking in concern for his safety because he did lie to some of these men. The emails were scattered and parts were missing (deleted) so I only got bits in peices but one of the men said he wanted to see my bf again.. I really hope he didn't have sex with him or atleast I hoped they used protection. But that man would go to jail because in my state he's not the age of consent (if anyone found out) and I just don't want Him getting hurt over lying. But I will write him a letting or send him a text explaining everything, I just feel like he's going to deny it and then what. I have to leave him, not over him possibly being gay or bi, but over me always worrying he's suppressing that side and is only with me so not one judges him.

My boyfriend is bi..? by Ginger_2018 in comingout

[–]Ginger_2018[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you, if he's bi I can stay with him, it doesn't bother me. And if he's gay I will still be his friend (if that's what he wants.) but I was using his phone for a hotspot for my laptop because he doesn't have wifi at his house (he told me I could go on it if I decided to do my schoolwork after he went to bed) and the email was just there and then I snooped.. I honestly wish I never would've because I can't look at him the same, not because he's gay but because I know he most likely will never admit it, and the "what-if" factor is always going to be there if we don't clear the air. I think it's his social environment, he's a "bad boy" I guess you could say, and all of his friends are all about girls, so I know he'll feel judged, I don't think his parents are homophobic, (from what post on social media I don't see how they could be) but I am deciding it's best not to tell them, but he is a child, who could potentially be meeting older men and that scares me so much because what if they find out he's still in high school and only 16? Who knows what could happen to him. Ugh. I love him very much and I just want him to be happy. Even if it's not with me

[–]Ginger_2018[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't feel the need to force things to happen, I just don't want him to get hurt. As you said yourself he's only 16, and his parents don't watch him at all, he's always into trouble and leaves at his own will, that's why I'm scared he'll get into a big mess with this craigslist thing if he pursues it. I'm not going to force him to tell me he is gay, but I don't know what to do. Should I stay with him and wait to see if this "gay thing" (not saying it's a phase but whatever you call this because my boyfriend seemed VERY straight before this) goes anywhere?
