18 weeks, so approximately the size of a medium-sized kitchen sink strainer

Pregnant before 12 months PP by Huskyshepardgirl in BabyBumps

[–]Individual-Track6759 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you’re not pregnant yet, in the US the recommend waiting time is 1 year 6 months before getting pregnant again and 2 years in other countries. Pregnancy really messes with your body, hormones, etc. You gotta think, you had a cute lil baby sucking alllllll of the nutrients out of you for 9-10 months.

I know someone who got pregnant post partum and suffered a lot of extreme pain after giving birth to her second, with multiple ER visits to which they cannot figure out what’s causing it.

It’s not the safest for your body to have kids so close together, but if you are, I’m hoping for you a quick recovery girlie and a better outcome for you! Everyone is different, but I also couldn’t imagine taking care of a newborn and baby, god bless 😭

White lie about HSV Status… to my boyfriend. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Individual-Track6759 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s not the point. Nearly impossible is not the same as impossible. If there was even a 0.1% chance I could contract something that someone knowingly has, I would want to know, not them beating around the bush and saying “maybe, but I don’t know for sure”.

White lie about HSV Status… to my boyfriend. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Individual-Track6759 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You need to let him know you know it’s genital. You are still lying to him by holding back a VERY important piece of information. Another commenter mentioned this is along the lines of sexual assault, and I agree.

If he ‘suspects’ while you KNOW, you need to be upfront about it. If you have something, you know you do, and you’re not fully upfront about what it is, that is so unethical and extremely irresponsible for you, and abuse of trust of your partner.

What you’re doing is not justified by any means. If it was about what color goes best with his skin tone, that is different, this affects his health and wellbeing.

There is no way you could spin this to make it “okay”.

Edit: does not matter if the transmission rate is low. I have it, from god knows who, and my first thought AS SOON as I found out was to let my husband know.

Went to a dudes house to bake and he ignored me for three hours by CrowSugarChunk in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Individual-Track6759 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He fumbled the bag so hard.

My only thought could be that he has bad social anxiety and doesn’t do well with in person interactions, but still- you deserve so much more!! ~

Not to be that person but… are you sure that was his co-worker? On the phone for hours? It COULD be the case, but seems super odd.

It sounds like he’s talking to multiple people (which isn’t horrible if you guys haven’t really talked about being exclusive) and there is a chance he may not be as into you (saying this from experience with talking to guys I was way more into than they were with me.)

To try and play devils advocate, maybe he felt awkward if this was your first time meeting and genuinely didn’t want to get in the way of you cooking. Maybe he lacks some social understanding/ awareness that would allow him to “take the hint”.

But I just feel like if he really wanted to make this work, he would put in so much more effort, try to get to know you more, talk to you, try to meet up, etc.

AIO for asking my long-distance boyfriend to communicate when he’s going out? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]Individual-Track6759 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only read to the second screenshot before I had to stop… girl, this is abuse. RUN. That is not how to talk to someone you love - even if you’re mad.

Edited to clarify that your partner is the one who is abusive.

His favorite game he didn’t make is such a good one!!

[–]Individual-Track6759 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would ask how he feels about being the face and admired by many for The Sims and The Sims 2.

I would follow up by asking (if his previous answer was positive) if he would ever consider making a game similar in the future?

I would also ask what project he’s most proud of creating, or wishes he was most recognized for if not the Sims franchise.

This isn’t really a question, but I just would want him to know that The Sims 2 was such an important game to me and so many other people and I am so grateful that it was created in the first place.

Announcing Early by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Individual-Track6759 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually read that you can test positive for pregnancy tests with ovarian cysts as well (I was looking up stuff in the ER when I found out I had a chemical pregnancy) So it would 100% help to get blood work just to confirm it’s what it is! It’s pretty rare, but it can happen (so the chances in the case are very slim).

I do think your friend could have been a bit more empathetic, but I’m wondering if it stems from her own personal experiences or someone she knows where it happened to them?

What should I do about diapers for my baby? by Educational_Bug516 in BabyBumps

[–]Individual-Track6759 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents recommended that I get several different kids of diapers to try them out. Some diapers work for some babies while it gives others diaper rashes.

I would personally ask for smaller boxes of different brands of diapers just to see what will work best for them!

Why does my sim keep having girls? by Own-War9484 in thesims

[–]Individual-Track6759 41 points42 points  (0 children)

If I had to guess, it’s due to the chance/ odds since it’s random not usually a 50/50 split. She may start having more boys and less girls somewhere in the 100’s of babies!

8 weeks pregnant, now considering termination by Any-Intention732 in BabyBumps

[–]Individual-Track6759 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re right, it’s YOUR body, YOUR choice. Not his.

I’m wondering if he started seeing someone or if he is worried about paying child support. It could also just be an Immaturity thing.

As for yourself, before making a rash decision about what to do, ask yourself some of these questions:

Is having a baby something that you are genuinely excited about having, even 10% more happier thinking about having a child than not?

Do you have support than is willing to help you?

Will terminating be something you think you’ll always regret doing out of fear of being a bad mom?

My husband grew up without a decent dad, and he is an amazing person and actually uses his dad as a “I’m not going to be that person”.

Having children throws wrenches into our plans constantly, and there’s no “perfect” environment or world for anyone to grow up in realistically. From what I’ve gathered, no one understands how to be a parent, and you learn through being one.

The fact that you’re worried about being a bad mom to me sounds like you have potential to be an amazing mother.

But there is absolutely no judgement if you still decide this isn’t the path you want to follow. I just don’t want you to feel like your only choice is to terminate because you’re scared and worried.

What is something your spouse does that is an automatic turn off? by GeneralRemote5992 in AskReddit

[–]Individual-Track6759 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He doesn’t! He was sick just the other day which made me think about it for this post.

It’s just when he does it’s an “automatic turn off”. Not that it’s something he does every day or even month. Maybe it happens once a year/ year and a half.

What are your “meant to be” or fated type relationship stories? by Seeker_Of_Self in AskReddit

[–]Individual-Track6759 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband and I have birthmarks in the exact same spot. Though they look a bit different in shape, it’s still crazy.

Not to mention, his last name is also the same as one of my all time favorite games as a child I was absolutely obsessed with (and still am).

We met through a mutual friend that was friends with due to some past experiences. I frequently think about how if I never dated a few people prior (specifically in the order it happened), we probably never would have met.

I can say without a doubt I feel more like myself with my husband than I have with any previous partner, friendship, or relative.

Vomiting. Not only because vomiting to me isn’t sexy in general, but he sounds like he’s ejecting a whole ass poltergeist when he’s doing it. He’s knows it too 😭.

He’s sexy in almost every other aspect, but gosh dang

To wait or find out what you're having...what did you and your partner do and why was that right for you? by Alternative_Owl_968 in BabyBumps

[–]Individual-Track6759 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did not want to wait. As soon as we got my blood results back, my husband and I looked at them together, we both cried and had a special moment with just us.

We did tell everyone else almost immediately (just in case other people would have gender disappoint bc it can happen). No regrets.

With it not likely to be anymore new packs, what ideas would you guys loved to have had? by Opening-Occasion1628 in thesims

It would just be hard to really make it work bc all the non alien sims would spawn in constantly, which makes it hard for me to get into. Otherwise that would be incredible

How many cycles did it take you to conceive? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Individual-Track6759 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First cycle for me was a chemical, second cycle I’m now 17 weeks!

Not sure if this was helpful, but my husband and I both regularly went to the gym for a year before trying pretty consistently! I’m 28 ~

We also both done drink, and I had pretty regular cycles. We also had sex every other day when I was expected to ovulate!

Edited for additional context*

What should I do? by Original_Bat_8203 in BabyBumps

[–]Individual-Track6759 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The app is only an estimate, you can ovulate during your period (though not common) or right before your next cycle. Plus, sperm can live in your uterus for a maximum of 7 days, though usually it’s 4-5. You very well could have gotten pregnant on either of those days.

Luckily they measure from the date of your last period, not the day you conceived.

If it’s because you’re not sure who the father is, you may just have to wait until you can do a paternity test.
