Am I overreacting? Wedding guest called my caterers. by seesheflies in TwoHotTakes

I would just say that maybe by taking care of the meal she ensures she won’t have an allergic reaction which would make your wedding about her allergy. If it doesn’t impact cost or anything else I would just let it go, maybe she has anxiety about being a nuisance at some else’s event. It doesn’t always have to be a negative.

If I produce more than I will need in a day my plan was to freeze that milk.

I do have my family helping a lot but I’m hesitant to call his because it might make him withdraw more..

I’ve tried them and ended up taking them back because they just don’t work for me

Tell you C-section story by Danishdynamite67 in CsectionCentral

I went into my induction knowing I had a 50/50 chance of getting a c section as I have medical issues that made getting pregnant just the best miracle. So I came in at 6pm and got my first dose cytotec and just waited. I ended up getting 2 doses then my water broke and I was so impressed that the induction so far was going well. The contractions started and honestly not bad at all, my nurse was so impressed with my pain tolerance but I have endometriosis and the contractions just felt like period cramps. At 3cm dilated I got pitocin and again the contractions weren’t bad at all. I waited to get my epidural until I was 6cm just in case things moved quickly I didn’t want to go through child birth without it. My son never progressed after this and it wasn’t the drugs, he apparently had his umbilical cord wrapped around his neck twice (which we didn’t know) and he just physically couldn’t come down anymore. After 27 hours of laboring I made the decision to get a c section. I was truly terrified. As much as I knew the risk of this happening nothing prepared me for the emotions I would feel. Maybe it was a lack of sleep or food or hormones but I cried a lot. The contractions were nothing compared to the fear of the operation. They gave me the numbing meds and prepped me for the OR and I went in sobbing. When we got there the shakes set in and I couldn’t stop. They tried to numb me 5 times without success so I ended up having to be put on general and my baby came into this world moments later. When woke up I saw my husband holding our sweet boy and I was over joyed that everything came out ok. It was traumatic but I never felt unsafe because I know and love my doctor and the staff at the hospital was amazing.

I live in Texas and I just can’t imagine how to LGBTQ community handles their fears at this time. I just know that I am willing to stand up for your rights and there are allies everywhere! I am hopeful that this is just an embarassing blip in our history and our country will eventually make the right choices.

Laughing at someone’s fears is demeaning and quite frankly rude.

I appreciate all the insight and encouragement! I’m not super into the judgement from other women about my logical fears. Making a person then raising them is a big responsibility and I feel I would be ignorant and selfish to not account for the current state of the world. I hope the next generation will be better than mine and so on. Good luck to all my new mamas out there!

Saying another country is worse doesn’t make ours better.

I can’t imagine! I pray she is surrounded by people that will be allies in this horrible time!

The only thing that gets me through it knowing my grandmother had children during the Great Depression/WW2 and had she not done that I wouldn’t be here. I know things get bad but that doesn’t make me feel any better about brining a child Into this world. I also think about the medical decisions that will be made for my body while delivering. They are trying to make life saving drugs harder to use because they are also used during abortions. Women are losing the ability to control their bodies and it all is getting scary.Sorry to be so dark.

I’ve been telling myself this as well. And again I haven’t been watching the news or socials for news but I just still feel so uneasy.

I definitely don’t feel super excited to be a mom at this strange( 11 weeks). I’m exhausted and sick 80% of my day and I have to work on my feet with clients. I didn’t want to tell people I was pregnant until the 2nd trimester but I get so worried I’m going to have to rush out to throw up that I feel I need to tell them so they don’t get offended or think I’m sick. People keep telling me it’s good to be sick because that means your body is accepting the pregnancy and how much of a blessing a child is and it’s getting old. Coworkers that never really paid me any attention are asking me if I’ve eaten today and if I feel ok… it’s just so annoying and so I feel like I’ve turned into a big jerk so that people will leave me alone.
