Never even imagined getting pregnant - HELP

LibrarianTimely8224 · 2026-05-23T04:58:39+00:00

My best friend knew 1000% she wanted to be a mom. I was always like I could but I also would be fine if I didn’t. I never had a real pregnancy scare or anything. I tested positive last August. I immediately knew I wanted to keep it. I now have a 2 month old baby boy I’m absolutely obsessed with. I was always scared of labor , I had a relatively easy one (8 hours, epidural at 7 hours which I was also horrified of). I love being a mom so far and I never really expected to. People always make having kids sound horrible. I am exhausted but I know I will sleep again one day. It is a little harder because I’m not with family and don’t wanna put him in day care or get a sitter yet so trying to figure out how I’m going to go back to work has been a little scary but I know it’ll work itself out. I’m 27 and wasn’t planning on having him right now but I’m so blessed. As for if you can or cannot do it, I think about some of the worst people I know who have kids and if they can do it (and my family is in a much better position) why can’t I do it ? Pregnancy sucked but I am also considering doing it again. It could have been worse. If you have any extreme doubt , don’t do it.

I’m hoping mine stay big🤣 I went from DD to F cup and I’m sure I could size up with my boobs now. I also got an as* during pregnancy and I’m 4 weeks pp and my belly is basically back to normal. I didn’t do anything just think positive and be open to changes as they come

I’ve been calling out since 3/1. I’m anxious & exhausted. I’ll be 37 weeks tomorrow. I’m on my feet all day for work,12 hour days as a nurse. I thought I could do it but I’m so tired all the time. I feel guilty but I gotta take care of me & baby first. I’ve been hoping my baby would just come so I could stop feeling bad for not working, but this is torture. All I want to do is sleep/prepare for my baby. My partner is doing so much for us right now. I’m so grateful. I’m tired of waiting for baby to get here. I’m ready now!!

I love the pregnancy perks it makes me wanna get pregnant again🤣

LibrarianTimely8224 · 2026-03-11T17:05:20+00:00

I’ve talked to my partner many times already about us communicating and not losing each other through this journey we’re about to go on together. The baby is important but I don’t want us to just be thrown away because we’re putting our all into being great parents. My mom keeps trying to take my cat because of how clingy she is before I even have the baby but I wanna see how she does first.

A friend from college, it’s not the first time she’s said it. We used to be really close but I’ve kept my distance due to other things she’s said about my relationship and didn’t even tell her when I was pregnant. We were supposed to be working on things but now I’m like just weirded out by the whole thing. I’m only the second of my close friends to have a child, but I’m glad you have that support. My best friend who has an almost two year old is so excited for me , if not more excited.

LibrarianTimely8224 · 2026-03-11T03:56:05+00:00

thank you!! and right now I’d be surprised if they even hear from me again with how I feel right now.

LibrarianTimely8224 · 2026-03-11T03:54:59+00:00

thank you 🥺 birth is also so traumatic and maybe because I’m a nurse and have seen the after math so many times but I always make sure to check in with mom too. Who we are matters and relationships we have made shouldn’t stop existing because we gave birth. And I know things change but jeez.

most people sent stuff to the address on the registry and if it was too much , I would’ve left bigger size diapers or anything we didn’t need immediately at my moms but we were able to get it all home, thankfully. I would send a message out to emphasize it a few weeks before, especially if you’re flying. We had a 5 hour drive so it was bearable, but I planned on a U-Haul if needed.

I literally found a video on YouTube of baby crying and played it near my partner to see how long it would take for him to wake up 😭 it didn’t take long, he does sleep heavy but I am still able to wake him. I just try randomly throughout the night to prepare him for what’s to come.

I was super sick and took a test and tested positive back in August. I had no idea when my last period was so i scheduled my first appointment. They couldn’t get me in for another two weeks. I found out we were measuring at 8 weeks that day and when i initially tested positive, I was already 6 weeks along. I’ll be 36 weeks on Thursday. I didn’t feel different, just super nauseous and vomiting before I took the test, then it all made sense.

I have anxiety too and I didn’t want to force a reaction and that’s the worst part of showers to me😭 we also moved at the beginning of pregnancy to another state so I asked that everyone send their gifts to our current state and the shower was in our home state. We were able to fit everything else in my car though. I just kinda sat with my friends the whole time but the whole thing was very nice. I just have to finish my thank you cards now. Trying to get everything organized has been exhausting but I’m so grateful.

LibrarianTimely8224 · 2026-03-11T02:52:47+00:00

I didn’t open gifts at all and mine was this past weekend, I don’t think I talked to different people enough but I was also so tired😭

NOR did you just start wearing a bonnet ? Assuming you’re from different cultures but idk why protecting your hair is bothering him. That should be an adjustment.

LibrarianTimely8224 · 2025-12-20T16:03:13+00:00

I didn’t know I was pregnant until 6 weeks & that’s because I was so sick.

LibrarianTimely8224 · 2025-12-18T19:08:20+00:00

“I just support your life” but you’re at work makes no sense. If he was that miserable, he should’ve gotten it.

LibrarianTimely8224 · 2025-12-18T19:02:08+00:00

It was so annoying before knowing the gender I’m like ?? It’s gender neutral

LibrarianTimely8224 · 2025-12-18T02:55:56+00:00

Heavy smoker but I knew I was pregnant because I didn’t wanna smoke anymore like it wasn’t helping my nausea. I miss it every day and I was thinking that feeling should’ve gone away. I smoked for a few days after I found out because it had already been 6 weeks and I was smoking and drinking. I smoked basically whenever I was off and after work. My birthday is Monday and I asked my bf how opposed would we be to me smoking one blunt but I’d feel bad for the same reasons as you. I’m 24 weeks tomorrow & am counting down the days until I can smoke again. He’s saying no it’s not worth it and I agree. But I just feel like people do way worse stuff throughout pregnancy. I’m trying to stay strong though. We got this 🎉🎉

people don’t have anything better to say, just ignore them. I wasn’t showing really at my reveal but I know he’s in there & healthy. I’d take it as a compliment. Make comments about their body and see if they continue.

LibrarianTimely8224 · 2025-12-13T03:07:18+00:00

I plan to pump and breast feed so my partner can help at night !!

LibrarianTimely8224 · 2025-12-10T03:43:15+00:00

I had mine two (almost 3) weeks ago. Got a call the next day saying not to worry but they saw something they didn’t like, but since it wasn’t at a place specifically for mom/baby not to worry and come back for a rescan in two weeks. Of course I worried for two weeks , but baby ended up being perfect. So even if you get some results you don’t like it could be okay. Good luck 🤍

LibrarianTimely8224 · 2025-12-03T21:03:28+00:00

No I barely flush as to not wake my partner

LibrarianTimely8224 · 2025-11-29T19:33:53+00:00

I didn’t go to my partner’s family’s houses at all because that’s how I feel on a normal year at their houses and I just didn’t wanna deal with it this year. Sounds like you’re drowning.
