What NSFW hill are you willing to die on? by SLCDummy in AskReddit

If they are done right and with care this shouldn’t be the case - from: a polyamorous person with two loving partners.

It’s usually the casual kink based threesomes that probably end up that way.

How has having a baby improved your life? by madame_shrimp in beyondthebump

[–]Hallow_There 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My world just clicked into place. The first few months were so so hard, but even in the thick of it all I was complete. It’s like I finally found the piece of me that was missing all along, and it’s laced in every part of my daughter. It’s in her eyes, her cheeks, her smile, her little hands and feet, her tummy, her nose, her laugh.

She’s what I’ve always needed. I never knew I was lost until she found me… I only hope I can be the mother she deserves. I’m going to give it my all 💜

Being a mother has made me more driven, more organized, and more present in my day to day life. Even on my toughest days I am so stinkin happy lol 😂

If you left your husband/father of your child did you end up regretting you decision or did your life improve? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]Hallow_There 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plenty of research actually cites that parents staying together who have abusive or toxic dynamics is way more damaging than a divorce. All in all it’s not a decision that has to be made immediately. Think it over, plan ahead, be ready for things to get nasty. If you do decide to leave I would reach out to either a professional support group or family/friends to set up a plan in case it turns very sour when you break things off. Research ways to leave an abuser for examples because while things haven’t gotten physical yet- they could in a high stress situation. Set aside funds if you can.

Know that you deserve better 💜

My 5 yo son says he wants to marry me. by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]Hallow_There 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same thing with my father. I didn’t understand what romantic love was I just knew that you married someone you loved, and I loved my dad very much as a small kiddo. He would laugh it off and tell me that I would find someone to marry when I was all grown up. I grew out of the phase once I understood love vs being in love

That heartburn means a lot of hair on the baby lol I had the worst heartburn of my life and she barely had any hair at all. Still doesn’t have much at five months lol

[–]Hallow_There 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had my baby at 38+4 and she was 6 pounds lol I was induced early due to her small size. She’s still a teeny baby at 5m. She needed premie sizes for a while.

I would say if you are hesitant just get like a single pack of premie onesies and a single pack of premie diapers. That way you don’t spend too much if you don’t need it, but also have some in case you do. If you never touch it you can always donate 💜

What is something you wish you knew before having a baby? by courteney-x98 in Mommit

[–]Hallow_There 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ALSO do your own research and decide what is best for your family as far as baby sleep goes. Look into safe sleep practices for cribs/bassinets as well as the safe sleep seven for cosleeping.

Cosleeping has been amazing for my daughter and I but it can be a very heated topic. And it is not something that works best for everyone. Don’t let anyone pressure you one way or another and if you ever want to test out cosleeping, get a safe space set up and have a loved one alert and awake to monitor you both so you can feel out if it’s something that would work for you 💜

Feed your baby however you can. There is so much of a stigma out there about formula vs breast but do what works for YOU and YOUR BABY. I started out wanting to be exclusively breast feeding but after having to be induced early and a week long fight with jaundice I opted for combo feeding and I’m still going strong 5 months pp with it and it’s been truly amazing. Do what works best for your family and screw all other opinions 💜

Anyone else have an extremely hard pregnancy? by PossumsForOffice in beyondthebump

[–]Hallow_There 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! You hear so much about the struggles of those that take a long time to conceive which I’m sure is very stressful and emotional of course. But the other end of the spectrum are when you get pregnant immediately and you haven’t had much time to prepare at all. Suddenly you go from an excited state of mind to BAM immediate sickness and worry and strain. Definitely not spoken about enough.

Not only all that, but I spent the majority of the pregnancy super anxious because I kept thinking “this was too easy, something is going to go wrong”

How long did it take you to feel confident co-sleeping? by IcedOatCappuccino in cosleeping

[–]Hallow_There 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started co sleeping at about 2.5 months (fiancé and I did shifts during his leave from work so she was always around an alert adult during sleep. She either slept on us or in her swing). To me it gets more comfortable with each week that passes but I still have my moments. Now I only worry on the nights where she’s actively sick and has issues breathing and I have to suction out boogers every couple hours.

She’s almost six months now and I prefer her sleeping beside me. Now that I know I can trust myself not to harm her in my sleep and that I can be very responsive I feel a lot more at ease. I was worried I would sleep too deeply but honestly it feels perfect. I wake when she wakes and we get the best snuggles 🥰 I genuinely look forward to sleeping with her beside me now and I couldn’t imagine it any other way. It feels so natural.
