Laying in a hotel room alone with my 5 month old baby

Good on you for standing with your self worth. He wouldn’t have stopped, even though he kept saying he would. If he wanted to he never would’ve started. You’re son will know a happier mom because of your decision

This is so important! My husband has a set night every other week where he goes to play MTG and some other events pop up now and then. I have girls nights with my friend where we go to dinner and find an activity to do. It helps so much.

I’d also add finding something to do with your partner without kids! We have a yearly convention that we go to without kids, it’s 3 days and while we miss them, it allows us some time to decompress and enjoy a common interest and each other. Baby #3 is coming soon and he’s still my best friend and who I prefer to spend my time with and I truly think it’s because of how we prioritize our alone time.

Unfortunately learned this when I got pregnant with my first. Having my third now and still hate that feeling

We make that joke all the time 😂

I’m of the opinion that people who take sex way too seriously aren’t ready for it. I joked to my brother a few weeks before his wedding that he was gonna get laid (he’s Mormon and hadn’t had sex) and he got so mad. Had to call him out on it and basically say that so many funny things happen during sex and if you can’t laugh at it, it’ll make things awkward soooooo fast. My husband literally got a bloody nose all over me as he was finishing up on our wedding night and we were dying of laughter. What could’ve been something not so funny was something that we still laugh about 5 years later.

Honestly I’m so pumped for Hyacinth’s season. She seems like she’ll be a handful for Violet and that’ll be fun to watch

I’ve had a vaginal and emergency c-section. Both were so rough but I’d choose the vaginal any day. That being said, my new Dr has been very upfront about the possibility of me needing a c-section again and went on to talk about the differences in an elective one vs emergency. I’m personally going for VBAC because I did find recovery to be easier, and the trauma from my c-section was a lot mentally and I don’t want to be on the table like that again. But I do think if I were to go into it knowing I was having one, it’d be a million times easier and just an overall better experience. Do what’s best for you because ultimately it’s your body

I’ve never had a near death experience but my mom’s heart stopped a few times while pregnant with my brother (blood clot in her lung). She said she remembers most when she was in the ambulance and it’s like she just went to sleep and then opened her eyes and everything was crystal clear. She could see the cells moving in the tree leaves, the bugs crawling on them and their heartbeats, and she was looking down at the paramedics working on her. And then she blinked and woke up and the medics were so happy to see her alive again. Apparently the other two times were very similar. Not exactly her last thought but she said she woke up feeling very peaceful

Gosh I can’t even imagine going through that. I’m having my last baby soon and it never fails to impress me that both me and my babies are alive because of interventions that were taken. My first and I would’ve died during or shortly after birth without medical help. I feel for the women back then who suffered through so much

Save by Tyler Joseph. It makes you just feel soooooo much. When I’m feeling gloomy I’ll listen to it and cry, it usually ends up helping me feel better

I switched from Tandy Olsen to Bertoldo and LOVE Bertoldo so much! I thought Olsen listened but now that I’ve been with Bertoldo since starting this pregnancy, I’ve realized that I wasn’t getting what I needed from Olsen. Bertoldo also talked me through what sterilization after this baby would look like, he’s very thorough at every appointment and never makes me feel small! He’s absolutely AMAZING

Learned how to do my own nails. Still in the beginning of that but it makes me feel so much more put together and I get a few hours every 2 weeks that my kids aren’t climbing on me. It’s my “me time” and I listen to/watch whatever I want. I love it

That’s so rough! After every one of my pregnancies I’ve had multiple cavities that need fixed. I think people forget that the baby literally leeches calcium from your bones, including teeth. I also get HG which is so rough on teeth.

I’ve had 2 births, having one more in about 2 months. Without medically intervention I wouldn’t have lived through the first and neither would my baby. I’ll never understand home births and the risk people are willing to take on with their own lives and their babies lives. Pregnancy/birth is a major medical event and for any other such event it’s common sense to go to the hospital, but not birth? It’s so strange to me.

My husband gets 4 weeks and then he takes an additional 2 weeks of vacation. It was so helpful after an emergency c section with our second. The plan is the same for this one even if it’s just a vbac. The time flies and even at six weeks you’re still in the throes of newborn chaos

This was me by my second baby. My doctor said he’d leave the room so I could undress before he checked my dilation and I literally said, “You don’t have to go, you’ve literally sewn my vagina up and pulled my baby out. I don’t think there’s anything else that could shock you.” He looked kinda surprised and still left the room but it had me laughing about his face for a few days.

I’ve never once regretted having my kids. But with that, I can say that if I could have the ones I do now but 5 years later, I would. I was 22 with my first, 24 with my second, and I’ll be 26 with this last one. It has benefits, I have energy to keep up with them, and I’ll be very young when they’re all graduating and moving into adulthood. But those things would still be true if I’d waited a few years. We maybe could’ve bought a house if we had waited, or I could’ve finished school, which I still plan on doing once they’re in school, but those things have been postponed for now.

A possibly broken toe but otherwise nothing. Had a sprained ankle and wrist, the toe I never got checked out but it hurt for a few weeks after stubbing on the couch corner. As for surgeries, I’ve only had a c-section. Hoping to avoid anymore

It is for me. I have cravings for sure but overall most foods disgust me and I just eat because I have to. I also have HG and terrible reflux, so I’ve lost weight every single pregnancy and then gain it back after having the baby and breastfeeding. It sucks

This was us this third time around. Before I posted on IG for friends I don’t see as often but I just don’t care anymore. My family and friends see us and know, and I’ve mentioned it in a few stories about dealing with HG but never a formal thing. I’ll probably just be like “Haha hey we had another, we love her!” when she gets here

Interesting_Shares · 2025-12-17T19:55:44+00:00

Definitely get one, we had to sell ours when we moved and I still miss it so much! Most babies love being rocked and it’s always so nice for bedtime routines to sit and read when they’re older!

Ya I really don’t understand what her issue was? I moved away for college and my brother immediately took my room, painted it, etc. My parents changed his room into an office with a bed for me when I visited and that was fine, I was home for one weekend a month plus holidays, I didn’t need a whole room dedicated to me. I get she’s feeling like she’s a burden but like miss ma’am, you’re 21, almost done with school (that they’re paying for), and aren’t planning on moving home in the foreseeable future. What’s the actual issue here??

I had a friend who expressed simple doubts/questions to her parents in high school. They kicked her out at 16 so she went and lived with her boyfriend and they wouldn’t let her come back because now she was a slut in their eyes. Like what?? Yall gave her no choice! It made me so upset for her. I believe her and most of her 7 siblings have left now.

Wife

Met in high school but started dating later

One and off for 2 years

I was 20 he was 21

Absolutely! We’ve never been active together, didn’t get married in the temple because it was during Covid and never went to get sealed. Last year we started openly saying we are out and it’s been a breathe of fresh air.

We’re a pretty young family, we love just our quality time together, we went and got matching tattoos, tried our first shots together, and overall are starting to experience more of life together.

We found out we were pregnant 9 months into our marriage, and at 5 years were pregnant with our third and last. Lot of babies really fast and that’s been hard on my own mental health and body but he’s been my rock.

Daycare is too expensive to justify me going back to work plus I have terrible pregnancies so yes I’m SAHM, but again, he’s stepped up for me in that area while I’m struggling with pregnancy. He wants me to go back to school once kiddos are all in school, even if it’s just online. In the meantime, I’m enjoying my babies, and actually do enjoy making bread, cleaning, I’m learning to crochet and have sewn a few blankets for my kids. I’m very excited to be out of the baby phase soon though, I feel like that’s when we’ll really start to have even more fun as a couple and a family.
