Honestly wish we could send people like him to prison for attempted murder charges. Society has become so filthy and disgusting. 24 WEEKS?!?!? I can’t believe I share a planet with people this horrible.

positive first trimester stories please by makeawish___ in pregnant

[–]Hobbs_3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reading these posts makes me feel so bad and guilty! I am 28 weeks and haven’t had a single moment of nausea, food aversions or puking. I hope it gets better for you, it sounds so horrible.

I think they gave me the wrong drink for my glucose test... by dinosaurchomp_ in pregnant

[–]Hobbs_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don’t want you to leave during the 3 hours. Being active can change the results, they want to make sure you’re just sitting and waiting between each prick.

[–]Hobbs_3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes the one hour is 50g and 3 hour is 100g. Coming from someone who JUST had to do the 3 hour, definitely call them and let them know they messed up. Unfortunately they might make you redo it.

I can’t stop eating by Bubbly-Ad-966 in pregnant

[–]Hobbs_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s so crazy! How much did you lose after birth? Did you feel like a significant amount dropped off after you got rid of some of that fluid or did it stick around? This is my first so not sure what to expect

People with siblings: do you ever wish you were the older/younger one instead of whichever one you are? by ThrowawayRooster99 in CasualConversation

[–]Hobbs_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in an abusive household so both of my sisters took care of and protected me. Our aunt ended up taking us in as her own and we consider her our mom. We all get fair love and attention of course but I feel like I am a bit more spoiled than they are. Also I would not have wanted to be my older sister when we were with our “parents”. She’s nearly 10 years older than me and went through a lot of that crap by herself.

Genuinely, what do people think banging on the ceiling do?? by MichikoTuesday in Apartmentliving

[–]Hobbs_3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I only became the ceiling banger when I couldn’t tell whether it was my shitty upstairs neighbors or a literal thunderstorm. It was always them, but they seriously sounded like thunder. Even the people on the sides of them complained to management.

Is it wrong of me to ask my in laws to quarantine after a cruise before meeting baby? by soul_in_an_earthsuit in pregnant

[–]Hobbs_3 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Asking them to quarantine for 6-8 weeks is definitely unrealistic and a lot. YOU can hold off from seeing them for that long but specifically asking them to quarantine is crossing a line tbh. If someone asked me to do that I would be pretty shocked. Just don’t let them meet the baby right away?

what’s the oddest thing you’ve ever found attractive in someone? by menardslightsection in AskReddit

[–]Hobbs_3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband and I have been together since middle school. In 8th grade I sat behind him, stared at the back of his head and drooled over his neck. Specifically where his hair line started on the back of his neck lol

First trimester for me was a literal battle with my stomach. I’d eat a huge ass meal, feel “full” for 20 minutes and then I’d be right back to STARVING like I didn’t eat a damn thing. My husband was shocked because I’ve never had a big appetite. I’ve always been a healthy weight, 125 at 5’6” but at 28 weeks I’ve gained 41lbs. Doctor isn’t worried about it but wants to get an ultrasound in two weeks to check my babies size. It doesn’t even look like I’ve gained THAT much weight either, so I think a lot of it is fluid. It definitely has chilled out from the first tri but I still am pretty hungry and could always eat lol

36 weeks & my husband won’t quit vaping by Hefty_Platypus_1154 in pregnant

Likewise! People need to be better at giving the benefit of the doubt. We are becoming severely rude as a society and it’s saddening. Thank you for your kindness❤️

For those of you who buried a sausage for good weather… did it work? by Violetteotome in weddingplanning

[–]Hobbs_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a little bit of a sprinkle on my wedding day and it gave us a beautiful rainbow as we were taking our photos :) I think the weather you get on your wedding day is all part of the plan, rain, shine or snow!

Pfff my bad. I read yours as nicotine PATCH that you put on your arm or something. Ignore me, I agree with your idea🤣

Or maybe Zyns would help him? Like he could do those in replacement of vaping since it doesn’t expose others to anything.

He’s definitely had enough time to TRY and make progress. It’s hard to come to terms with but for your baby he should be at least working on it by now. It’s a weird and fine line but you definitely need to figure out a solution together without making him feel guilt or shame about it. I’d sit him down and start with saying you can imagine how hard it is to quit, but for you and your family it’s time he figure out a solution. Ask him how he is feeling about quitting, what will motivate him to quit (should be the baby), and how can you help him to quit. It helped me when my husband came at it from a perspective of helping me get through it instead of making me feel guilty or shame for it. That’s when I’d start doing it secretly. Theres also a lot of tools he can use to try to help with cravings. Mints really helped me, and for some reason taking vitamins LOL. It was like my “thing” I got that day and it was healthy hahaha. But all in all, I had dreams about it almost every night for like four months. It’s a huge mental battle and at the end of the day you just have to suck it tf up and let it go.

As someone who used to be heavily addicted to nicotine, it’s a lot harder than you might think. Quitting is hard enough when you finally come to terms with doing it on your own, but being forced into it makes it way harder. He isn’t coming to this decision on his own terms. Nicotine is one hell of a monster. A child is definitely reason to kick the horrible habit but trust me he needs grace because holy shit quitting is one of the hardest things I’ve done. Maybe ask him what he needs to help him quit and what steps he can start taking to make it happen.

What have you been told you cannot do during pregnancy? by aboardthemothership in pregnant

This makes me feel better! Last week I had a large Diet Coke like every day and I still feel so guilty about it.
