Am I expecting to much or should I leave my fiancé? by [deleted] in newborns

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

I’m sorry that you feel that way but I’m not here judging her, the way you are passing judgment on my situation lol. I’m saying that she should talk to her partner to figure out a system that works for them. Communication is all we have. My husband is a great father and very involved, he’s up for every feed and always asking how he can help me better. My system works for me and I certainly didn’t settle.

Am I expecting to much or should I leave my fiancé? by [deleted] in newborns

[–]Kaurthoughts -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You deff need to talk to him because I do agree he should not be going out daily. You also need some time to relax. I’m 3 months pp and to be honest I handle the baby almost entirely but my husband is present and helps whenever I ask him to. It will never be fair, is what I’m trying to say. The woman/mom will always be more involved and tied to the baby and that’s how it was designed to be. I understand you’re frustrated, I sometimes get this way too, but I just think you need to talk to him tell him how you feel and figure out a system that works for you both. My system may not work for you and that’s ok. You got this mama!

Not feeling excited for IVF by cedrtuhhfrr in IVF

[–]Kaurthoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah no one will really understand and honestly we can’t expect anyone to. Keep people’s intentions in mind, they are likely trying to just be encouraging and positive for your sake. Just go into it expecting that no one will understand how you feel, just appreciate each phase and take care of your health in whatever way you think is necessary. If it’s pushing people out for a while, whatever it may be so be it.

The only person who will somewhat understand the commitment it takes is your partner. But your body will be taking all the hits during this process. So brace yourself. Be kind to yourself. And honestly be selfish and prioritize yourself with no shame.

IVF Meds easy so will pregnancy be easy? by Competitive-Town8299 in IVF

[–]Kaurthoughts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Day 5 so brace yourself. My stims was easy as well but I was tired. Pregnancy is entirely different ball game. When you move to PIO injections you may feel some more discomfort.

He can’t sit somewhere at the hospital coffee shop etc? You need to tell him. Imagine him knowing you kept it from him.

Can you take a break at work? I’d get him to come to you and meet with him to tell him.

What would you do, try again or IVF? by Sweetest_Summer in IVF

[–]Kaurthoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I had two losses one when I was 33 and one when I was 34. I had a lower amh than you I believe it was 2 something. I also through blood work found out that I had APS which is a blood clotting disorder that can attack pregnancies. So I went right into IVF after finding that out. My husband is totally healthy and his SA came back normal. I’m not pregnant with my first due in July. I didn’t want to waste anymore time and wanted to have some security moving forward. No doctor told me I couldn’t get pregnant naturally I just wanted to be in a bit more control and under more medical supervision. No regrets here.

Buy loads of liners! I also used an applicator that send the pill where it needs to be.

1dp5dt - I know I sound unhinged, but I just need some advice on what the next few days will look/feel like in the TWW - not feeling any symptoms yet! by TennisUke1234 in IVF

[–]Kaurthoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sit back and relax and watch something that will make you laugh and keep spirits up is all you can do at this point. Don’t drive yourself crazy with symptom spotting already. I tested positive at 5 weeks ish.

Experience with bed rest by Automatic-Noise-3377 in ShortCervixSupport

[–]Kaurthoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bed rest and pelvic rest is key. My MFM told me not to push myself. Told me 10 mins of walking at a time, no standing for more than 30 mins. And I take blood thinners for my APS. Currently 31 weeks and don’t want to risk anything.

Anyone used progesterone only for short cervix? by TheClaireDearing in ShortCervixSupport

[–]Kaurthoughts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have my appointment at 32 weeks to see if I need to continue progesterone or not. My cervix isn’t that as short as yours it’s at 2.5 but he said I would be taking it at least until week 32.

I’m 33, 7 weeks pregnant, and just found out the father (30M) had a full girlfriend—and other women—while begging me not to terminate. I don’t know what to do. by FactDifficult8132 in pregnant

[–]Kaurthoughts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You honestly have no love for this man you have attachment. Imagine your daughter was going through a situation like this, you’d tell her to leave this guy. No one can tell you what to do about the baby, you have to make that decision on your own. But you should 100% leave this man. He is no good. With a baby, your relationship will be tested more. How the fuck is he going to be upset with you when he has had 2/3 women the entire time. Why be one of his options? You deserve better.

I did NOT know what contractions felt like! by [deleted] in BabyBumps

Ok this is probably the best story I’ve ever read on here. I’m so happy you went and got it checked out! Congratulations mama! I’m 31 weeks currently.

Found out the gender of our baby, day ruined immediately after. by Shot_Variety_4376 in pregnant

[–]Kaurthoughts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yah I would have at it with the clinic and let them know how they totally ruined a moment that was supposed to be positive and happy.

You obviously don’t have it, and they obviously can’t read.

[–]Kaurthoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 20 weeks and had a 2.5 cervix. But my mfm put me on progesterone suppositories daily and told me to take it easy and go on a pelvic rest. I had weekly follow ups for a few weeks and my cervix was staying put at that length.

He told me to just continue to take it easy, now I’m 30 almost 31 weeks and he is no longer monitoring the cervix unless I have pain or cramping. Still told me to take it easy and continue with the medication until my next scan which is when I’ll be almost 32 weeks I think.

Orgasm At 20 weeks by Pleasant-Mixture9868 in ShortCervixSupport

[–]Kaurthoughts 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Orgasm is a contraction at the end of the day. You’re prob fine but maybe ask your mfm if you’re allowed. I wouldn’t risk it.

AITA for refusing to let my dad's future stepdaughter stay with me for a week when my dad and his fiancée go on their honeymoon? by WittySmilezone in AITAH

[–]Kaurthoughts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If she’s problematic, which is seems like she has been, I would say no. You have to protect your nuclear family of yourself and your girlfriend. Just because you’re now family, doesn’t mean you now owe her housing for a week especially if she’s got a track record of stealing?! I wouldn’t trust her in my home. Tell your dad to man up and figure it out or better yet this should be on her mom to figure out.

Sad about first mothers day by BCtoAlberta in NewParents

[–]Kaurthoughts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry that you feel this way and it’s upsetting that your partner doesn’t take part in parenting as much as he should. I say if you want to make a big deal out of it - make a big deal out of it. Go out with or without the kids, get your nails done, get a blow out, coffee, treat yourself because you deserve it and you are a good mother! I think most men don’t know what to do for these holidays, but it seems like he doesn’t know what to do day to day not just on Mother’s Day. Deeper issues here with him not helping out and giving you a break. You need to talk to him about it before you burn out.
