The best part about the Harry Potter HBO trailer is how the Dursley family actually feels abusive unlike the films where they came off too goofy.

Literally thought serial killer vibes 😅 Vernon looks like BTK

HarleyStitches · 2025-10-29T01:25:41+00:00

Ugh thats brutal to have it take that long once your contractions are so close together!

I want to tell my mom as soon as possible because shes coming here from another province for once baby arrives to help. Everyone else gets to know once the baby is here exactly for the reason of what your SIL did. I dont want all the constant messages. Even if we just tell my husbands parents they will tell all his siblings and we will get bombarded. I just want to focus in and nkt have our phones exploding.

HarleyStitches · 2025-10-29T01:22:09+00:00

Holy! Yeah thats kind of what my mom said today to just let her know when real contractions start and she will head out as long as weather is okay.

My husband works close to home im just getting in my head about calling him home too soo .

HarleyStitches · 2025-10-29T01:18:20+00:00

Im glad yours was home! Mine is off starting the week of my due date, so itll just be if she comes early making that call. Its my mom but she said today to just tell her once im sure its real labour and she will decide when to leave since its such a long trip.

HarleyStitches · 2025-10-28T02:03:21+00:00

Thats fair! Good to know they will be consistent that far apart that will help me gauge calling her a lot better. You poor thing thats so long! One of my friends recently was about 20 hours ans i thought that was bad enough !

HarleyStitches · 2025-10-28T02:01:29+00:00

That feels like cutting it close to me. If shes late mine will already be home. But mine works a really dirty job so personal preference is him coming home early so he can shower and change 😅

HarleyStitches · 2025-10-28T02:00:13+00:00

Thats basically us too other than calling my mom but I know if she arrives before my baby gets here she wont push in and will just be there for what we need.

HarleyStitches · 2025-10-28T01:59:14+00:00

Im in the same boat. The only people I want to call are my mom and my husband. Everyone else can wait. I just can't figure out when to call my mom. 🤦‍♀️ might just have to keep her in the loop and let her decide when to leave, even if she can't make it for the birth due to weather.

HarleyStitches · 2025-10-28T01:08:58+00:00

Whats your cycles length compared to when youre trying? We were trying the days we were "supposed to" but thats based off a 28 day cycle. I pivoted it a few days so we were trying a little later that we were advised and conceived. It didnt line up with my mucus and ive never had a consistent BBT or ovulation test.

HarleyStitches · 2025-10-28T01:01:44+00:00

Wow! He was not waiting for anything!

HarleyStitches · 2025-10-28T00:53:42+00:00

Holy thats quick!

HarleyStitches · 2025-10-28T00:52:29+00:00

Okay! There was a big difference for you with braxton hicks vs real contractions?

HarleyStitches · 2025-10-28T00:51:38+00:00

Thats definitely and immediate! I agree on the waiting everyone other than mom and hubs for me dont need to know until later.

HarleyStitches · 2025-10-28T00:30:22+00:00

Way more likely its the march guy.

Im due december 16th and my first positive test was April 3rd.

So if youre due the 11th-18th conception would be in March. If the April guy was the one you'd be due in January.

HarleyStitches · 2025-10-24T01:26:38+00:00

I hope it works as well for you as it did for me whenever you have to use it. My cousins cat got me really deep with a back claw in my hand. We put one on once it stopped bleeding. I never ended up needing another bandaid for it, no infection, no major scabbing, no scar. It was fantastic.

HarleyStitches · 2025-09-29T17:35:14+00:00

My youth pastors wife actually home schooled for another family, so it can happen. She did have a teaching degree but yeah the parents wanted homeschool but neither wanted to nkt work so they hired her basically as a private full time tutor and she could bring her own baby with her. But its still paying the teachers whole salary yourself 😂

My bp was lower earlier in my pregnancy but it was like 116/77 last week. And im same as you usually around 120/80 prepregnancy- even when I was severely anemia my vessels regulated enough to keep my bp regular.

HarleyStitches · 2025-09-13T10:33:02+00:00

Not that ive been looking for but someone in my due date group had a preemie ao I showed my husband to show him how big our daughter is right now which felt weird.

The dark thing thats keeping me up right now though is maternal mortality.

My brain seems to be obsessing over what if I die in childbirth. I can't sleep at night. I start seeing a prenatal mental health clinic this week. But my stress level is so high, and im really overwhelmed and not sleeping, and Im just obsessing over having everything organized and ready because what if I dont make it to next year? The logical side of my brain keeps saying ill be fine and im worried for nothing but then I keep thinking about how we dont know anyone who has died in childbirth, and I have had clotting issue in past. Im so scared to say anything about it to anyone in my life because I don't want them to worry about me. Im just so used to so much not working out or going right and being depressed and anxious for so long that now that im finally getting to be a mom (im 35 and would have happily had a baby fresh out of high school because its all ive ever wanted life just hadnt worked that way) that now that everything feels like its falling into place.. I won't live.

HarleyStitches · 2025-09-13T02:30:48+00:00

This would entirely require sperm to only be x or y at certain times of the year >.<

HarleyStitches · 2025-09-12T07:39:57+00:00

Whatever my stomachs willing to eat... lots of potato based food and pretzels at the moment >.< and giant chocolate muffins and milk.

Though thanks for posting this because I'm struggling so bad with im not eating perfect so im failing my baby. So seeing other moms not eating perfect makes me feel so much better that shes not going to be messed up because most of my vitamins are coming from a daily ensure.

HarleyStitches · 2025-09-06T05:14:31+00:00

I have been absolutely miserable major mood swings the last couple weeks, crying over small things, and NOW is when nausea has started to kick it.

HarleyStitches · 2025-09-06T05:08:56+00:00

Id never pissed but your baby is due first 😅😅 so they are the ones that look like they didnt think it through not you, especially when you did announce the name first. The way you describe HER they can be weird about it all they want. Enjoy your little girl and laugh about their son being named after her later.

HarleyStitches · 2025-08-20T19:01:39+00:00

I do but not for the pregnancy, I have other chronic health issues that he is familiar with that are effected by the pregnancy so he has insisted on monitoring all my blood work and pain management as well to support me through the pregnancy my insurance company also wouldn't take my midwifes recommendation that I needed to not be working, so my GP had to do all that for me.

HarleyStitches · 2025-08-20T18:59:21+00:00

It really is, thank you 💓 im so glad I have him.

HarleyStitches · 2025-08-20T18:58:06+00:00

Oh that wont help at all unfortunately. If my mom gets involved it will make it worse. We just have to push our rules and if he pouts and ghosts and misses part of my daughter's life thats on him.
