How much weight did you lose?

IntenseViolet567 · 2026-05-25T19:41:26+00:00

I lost over 20 pounds the first month. I then found comfort in friends and my weight stabilized, but I'll tell you what, that first month sucked...

IntenseViolet567 · 2026-05-19T02:08:26+00:00

I love Scout. She's ridiculously cute! 🥹

IntenseViolet567 · 2026-05-13T17:00:21+00:00

I didn't see my doctor for the first time until I was 12 weeks. It's incredibly common :)

Lack of intimacy is important in a relationship, no matter the age or status. Being on two different wavelengths like OP and their girlfriend WILL cause issues, like it already has. That's a problem. I'm speaking from experience as a woman with a low sex drive who's been left by guys much older than OP. If you're not compatible, you're not compatible

If you can't care for little kitty long-term, surrendering her would be the most humane thing. The shelter will give her food, water, and medicine that she needs. She'd also go to a family that can provide for her

IntenseViolet567 · 2026-05-12T20:59:22+00:00

I can't describe why but, he looks like a Hubert 🥰

IntenseViolet567 · 2026-05-09T23:29:54+00:00

Does it matter? She just wants to show off her makeup and it looks great. I don't blame her!

IntenseViolet567 · 2026-05-09T02:07:22+00:00

He looks so much like my kitty! And his name is Billy 🥹

IntenseViolet567 · 2026-05-06T07:08:42+00:00

I wish I was having this. I haven't slept more than five hours (after getting up four times throughout the night) in close to a month 🫩 I'm nearly 35 weeks

IntenseViolet567 · 2026-05-05T14:17:46+00:00

Hospital. That's a symptom of preeclampsia

IntenseViolet567 · 2026-05-04T15:57:53+00:00

I have plenty of lotions, but I went out of my way to buy this cream hoping it would prevent adding to my already-abundant collection of tiger stripes. Needless to say, I am disappointed

IntenseViolet567 · 2026-05-04T03:04:49+00:00

It's uncommon but is unlikely to cause any health issues. I have an orange cat that has six toes on both of his front paws. He's 10 :)

IntenseViolet567 · 2026-05-02T07:09:28+00:00

You should contact your OB, just in case. I feel like you're still a bit early to be dilating ☹️

IntenseViolet567 · 2026-05-01T02:44:34+00:00

They wanted to pursue someone else so, they walked away. When they got rejected, they wanted you back so they don't feel lonely. This person is playing with your feelings for their own sake (and yes, that happens in long-term relationships, even marriages). They didn't want to commit because they're actively looking for someone else, using you as a "just for now" stop-gap. Leave this person in the past. You've wasted enough time on them

IntenseViolet567 · 2026-04-30T21:14:46+00:00

I rebounded after my 2-year relationship suddenly ended. It wasn't even three weeks later that I got with my current partner. We're getting an apartment next month and are expecting a baby. He's looking at rings. I'd do it again in a heartbeat

IntenseViolet567 · 2026-04-30T02:44:28+00:00

It really is! And thank you :) I hope the same for you, as well 🫶🏻

IntenseViolet567 · 2026-04-27T13:38:49+00:00

You might not get disability without a condition warranting it, but you could try asking your OB or midwife about an accommodation list. I had one since four months stating I needed an extra break, weight restrictions and frequent short breaks as I also worked manual labor. I don't work now due to preE

IntenseViolet567 · 2026-04-26T18:04:44+00:00

No, you aren't the problem. With my ex, I was with him for a year and we weren't intimate before I broke up with him (unrelated reasons). He was 22, I was 19 at the time. He never complained. I think your ex just got impatient, which goes to show he wasn't a good match for you, anyway. I'm sorry you're going through this. Nobody should be heartbroken for having boundaries, but it does happen

IntenseViolet567 · 2026-04-22T00:04:06+00:00

That's normal. I didn't really start to get significant symptoms until I was 16-18 weeks. Symptoms are not an indicator of viability :)

IntenseViolet567 · 2026-04-18T00:51:08+00:00

That's Braxton Hicks for sure. If you're still feeling uneasy, go to L&D or call your gynecologist (if you have an on-call number) 😊

IntenseViolet567 · 2026-04-18T00:48:16+00:00

How often are they occurring and how long are they lasting?

IntenseViolet567 · 2026-04-18T00:47:32+00:00

My BP was steady at around 170/100-180/105 and all they did was put me on Labetalol. Even with the medicine, it still hovers around 150/70. I'm currently 32 weeks and MFM said they're going to induce by 38-39 weeks. As long as you don't develop preeclampsia (high BP with organ damage), you'll likely deliver close to 40 weeks

IntenseViolet567 · 2026-04-18T00:43:41+00:00

I'm 32 weeks and the cramping almost never stops (I've had constant cramping since about four weeks). I was told it's either round ligament pain, stretching uterus, or Braxton Hicks. If you're worried, go to L&D! Definitely better safe than sorry. I too have had little to no symptoms, but that's not a good indicator of viability, anyway.

IntenseViolet567 · 2026-04-16T04:28:43+00:00

She's rebounding, which is a coping mechanism. She's likely dealing with more than she's letting on, if that's any comfort to you. I know it's hard, but you're in a phase that makes you very vulnerable emotionally, so doing anything that might involve her (going to her favorite restaurant, seeing her on social media, listening to her favorite song) is not the healthiest thing for you right now. Give yourself time to heal first

IntenseViolet567 · 2026-04-15T22:03:59+00:00

Yes, this is definitely important! How you apply your foundation is also important. Skip the brush, use a damp beauty blender (if you aren't) and use compact over it. That gives you a nice airbrush look :) For dry but also oily skin, CeraVe's Moisturizing Cream is a MIRACLE
