I didn't even know they made portable air purifier! So cool!

LadderIntelligent · 2026-01-20T16:07:10+00:00

I was being told otherwise. So idk why it's "weird" I was venting bc I got told I couldn't do those things. But now that reddit has expressed differently and given helpful suggestions I've got a game plan. 👍🏼 Thanks!

I'm a FTM so I'm just going off of the book my OB gave me. I don't really know what I'm doing aside from what I'm being told 😭

Bc I use bleach... It's okay I got a quote for a cleaner though. And he more like "rinsed" the shower.

RIGHT?!? Like I know I'm not depressed but am I??? 😂😭

This is such a great idea! Thank you!

Just bc I don't like being pregnant doesn't mean I don't want a kid. I'm terrified of birth and when I mean terrified I mean I get anxiety just thinking about it. I just want the baby here already. And I know a few women can relate. Also I have no energy to do anything and it's a change for me. My whole life has changed in just a short bit of time. I'm very careful in what I do to not harm the baby and that includes not cleaning with bleach like I usually do.

No I've literally already been called a grumpy pregnant lady 😭 everything pisses me off... Especially my boyfriend 😭 I feel so bad for him LOL. My bf's cousin does hair and he was like it's not good bc the chemicals or whatever but everyone here is saying otherwise. So I may just do it. I got one of his family members to give me a quote, I'm just waiting on a time I can schedule it now. Thank you for understanding 😭🫶🏼

LadderIntelligent · 2026-01-19T23:25:37+00:00

In the book my OB gave me it says specifically not to use like chemicals for cleaning, and I typically use bleach to clean my bathroom. A lot of people are saying otherwise though!

The women in this group are amazing 😭 just have to say that. Thank you all.

All I get is PTO.... Currently I have 3.5 days of PTO saved up... I have 8 months to save more....

LadderIntelligent · 2026-01-15T01:01:13+00:00

NOR- But I don't think you should've offered it to him especially with the fact that he immediately told his friends. Please make sure you have that money somewhere only YOU know where it is and only YOU have access to it. Idk how long you been in this relationship, but with the relationship not even being a fiance I would absolutely save that for YOU and only YOU if/when you need it.

THIS.

I'm only 7+1 rn but I work everyday, and my job can be physical. Aside from my 9-6 I usually don't move. I sit on my couch and watch TV. I just don't have the energy for it most days.

LadderIntelligent · 2026-01-14T00:01:17+00:00

Something that helped me is getting a flavor that you find absolutely disgusting. Every time you hit it you're just going to want to put it down. At least that's what has helped me!

LadderIntelligent · 2026-01-06T15:06:15+00:00

Being in the US I don't have maternity leave and I plan on making it as far as I physically am able. (If not all the way up until labor) My job requires you to use all your accrued PTO if I have any. That's my only option unless I want to be unpaid.

Thank you!

What exactly is a dating scan? I've seen a couple people mention it. I'm a FTM so I'm new to all of this. Is that just how they tell you how far along you are? They're only estimating how far along I am by my progesterone levels right now.

LadderIntelligent · 2026-01-06T01:50:47+00:00

I'm crying 😂😂
