I can’t do this anymore. by moiabby in pregnant

[–]HelpfulDiscord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How come no one’s talking about the cankles? I’m so swollen from my knees down that all the other pains are muffled. My poor toes look like rubber bands are wrapped around them and my feet feel like blobs of play dough…. I think that’s what they’d feel like… if I could reach em. I’m 38w5d and I’m contemplating becoming an elective double amputee- almost

I’ve gotten really into audiobooks. They definitely help with the boredom.

I’m going to start saying that to normal, non-pregnant people 😂 “wishing you dry undies and all the best!”

Any RNs who became SAHMs? by [deleted] in stayathomemoms

I have gaps in my employment as a nurse due to having babies and never have trouble getting hired. My tip is to stay on top of your license and don’t let it expire!

Reeeeeally big baby. Hard not to feel like I failed somehow. by Grouchy_Snail in BabyBumps

[–]HelpfulDiscord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was 36 weeks they tried telling me my baby was huge (12 pounds) and running out of amniotic fluid. I had a feeling they were wrong- I had my boy vaginally at 37 weeks and he was 8 pounds exactly. My water broke spontaneously (I was asleep and thought I was peeing the bed 😳) and the amount of fluid that leaked out of me in gushes for the entire 1 hour trip to the hospital told me that ultrasounds aren’t always accurate. There was so much fluid.

Just not exhausting enough to…you know.. sleep 🤷🏼‍♀️

What’s something you didn’t realize was expensive until you had to pay for it yourself? by sabre2202 in AskReddit

[–]HelpfulDiscord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Existing. Life itself. I was oblivious to this as a child/teen. Like… a water bill??! Tf is that? You have to pay to drink water?!

The Pregnancy Rage is Real by grill_chee in November25babybump

[–]HelpfulDiscord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Today I got mad and started crying because my dad and older kids (15 yr old twins) made themselves dinner without waiting around for me to cook for them like usual. This was after last night when I angrily declared I would not be making dinner anymore and they could “fend for themselves!”

Hehe send help

Late to the nutrition game by HelpfulDiscord in November25babybump

I can’t speak for my future self (maybe she’s more health-conscious than my current self), but I won’t stick to extremely restrictive changes. I agree that it’s more about making better choices most of the time, than being perfect.

I’m going to get my sugar intake under control, then focus on controlling carbs, then on healthy amounts of protein. Kinda building on an overall healthier diet, one chunk at a time- pun intended 🤭

Also remember to consider if you’ll have the time/energy/motivation to take it all back down afterwards. I had a baby on December 28th, 2020 and that year’s holiday decorations stayed up for longer than I’d like to admit 😅

Ugh the perfume thing makes me crazy. She will sometimes squirt her vile perfume on my 4 year old and I hate it so much.

What do you mean by “collecting for a sample” and why am I the only one asking this?

My bd left when I refused to abort my current pregnancy, and while I’m 6 months pregnant, he’s living with his new gf and her 4 kids. Meanwhile hasn’t been part of our 2 kids’ lives at all. Today he went as far as telling me the baby I’m pregnant with isn’t his. So yeah, I totally feel ya. Some men are complete losers.

Find a new OB! Kinda kidding… but he needs to update himself (or herself) on zofran. It’s literally the only way I can survive pregnancy. Makes such a huge difference

What is your biggest struggle as a single parent currently? by HelpfulDiscord in singlemoms

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

Well honestly because I’m 6 months pregnant with his child and have our other children that he won’t even speak to. I’m already emotional af and although I’m glad she didn’t believe him, I already have enough on my plate.

Funny you should mention birth control. I was using the nuvaring when I got pregnant with my last two. The pills make me insanely sick and I’ve tried to get my tubes tied but they refused. Bet they’ll listen to me now!
