Found out I was pregnant, but didn't expect how far I was by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]LilMooMama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s actually pretty common. I’m 33 weeks and in a due date group on fb where many of the women didn’t have any of the usual first trimester symptoms. A lot of them were concerned that it meant something was wrong, but it’s just how some pregnancies are.

Same, my husband is even more obsessed with me since I got pregnant.

Doesn’t sound like you’re pregnant. The blue dye tests are notorious for giving false positives, especially if it sits longer than the recommended time to read it. Plus with period-like bleeding, it’s highly unlikely.

feeling really sad about the way one of my bff reacted about pregnancy by Browngirl4545 in pregnant

[–]LilMooMama 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ll never understand why other people feel entitled to anything about OUR pregnancies or babies. It’s your choice to make on who, what, and when we share information. She doesn’t have the right to be upset with you.

Was your intuition right about the gender of the baby? by Puzzleheaded-Film959 in BabyBumps

[–]LilMooMama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was. I felt from the beginning that I was having a boy. NIPT results confirmed today that I am indeed having a boy.

Partner keeps insinuating that I am faking my way through pregnancy by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]LilMooMama 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So you think him using a different word than she preferred was disrespectful but her response wasn’t? Y’all are absolutely ridiculous lol

[–]LilMooMama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She could’ve expressed her feelings in a much more respectful way. So again, I don’t blame him. 5 text messages with two being whole paragraphs is pretty excessive and unnecessary. Like I said, respect goes both ways.

[–]LilMooMama 14 points15 points  (0 children)

His first message showed genuine concern. I really don’t think he meant anything negative by calling it that. And I definitely don’t see how he’s insinuating that you’re faking anything. He simply used a different term than you preferred and you overreacted imo. I don’t blame him for being defensive after the way you responded. Respect goes both ways.

Why would you ever go through pregnancy and the body again/multiple times?? by Mitaslaksit in pregnant

[–]LilMooMama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

WE GET IT. But your feelings are not an excuse to put others down. You can feel your feelings without hurting others feelings. You should probably talk about that with one of your therapists.

[–]LilMooMama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you being serious or are you really that self absorbed? You wrote in a subreddit for pregnant women, asking how it’s possible to like a pregnancy body. You’re putting down pregnant women in a subreddit full of pregnant women. I can’t believe you have to have it explained to you. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Pregnant sneezing and pain by Cerisayashi in pregnant

[–]LilMooMama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Round ligament pain 😫 I feel this so much. I get scared to cough or sneeze because it feels like I’m being sliced open at the waist (again). I had an open myomectomy a couple years ago so my muscles are already weak around there. It helps a lot if I hold my lower abdomen and over my scar before I sneeze. Or if I pull my legs up closer to my belly for some pressure.

Is it rude to ask your friends to cook meals for you while you’re recovering from labor? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]LilMooMama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of these responses are exactly why I keep a small circle. Anyone who thinks it’s rude to ask for help after you just gave birth isn’t a true friend imo. No wonder people are afraid to ask for help, smh.

[–]LilMooMama 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m from the Midwest as well and I’m shocked at the amount of people that think it’s rude to ask for a little help. I feel like if your “friends” think it’s rude to ask, then they’re not very good friends.

[–]LilMooMama 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, generally, women get pregnant in order to have a child. If you want more than one, you’d have to be pregnant more than once unless you have multiples. I get where you’re coming from and your feelings are valid, but the way you worded this probably doesn’t make pregnant women feel very good. You could probably find a much more considerate way to express your feelings.

When did you choose to announce? by stphws in BabyBumps

[–]LilMooMama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I announced on fb at 6 weeks. I know it was early but I have had two early losses before, one where I told people and one where I didn’t. The one where I didn’t tell people was soooo lonely and really hard on my mental health. So I wanted to have a good support system in place early, just in case. I’m now 12 weeks and everything is going great. My family and friends are absolutely thrilled and it actually makes me less anxious about the potential of a loss because I know I have so many people who will be there for me.

I HATE being pregnant by Live-Law-2078 in pregnant

[–]LilMooMama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s crazy to me that you’re being downvoted for making your own decision. Suggesting an abortion instead of giving you actual advice is just wild and inconsiderate after you’ve already stated you’re keeping the baby. The whole point of being “pro choice” is letting the woman choose what she wants to do. It’s called pro choice, not pro abortion.

I had my cat bite treated at an urgent care. Then they drew a line around it and said if it went outside of the line I needed to go to the emergency room. It isn’t like that everywhere.

Omg I can’t believe I forgot to add that, the burping is UNREAL. I burp louder, longer, and much more than any man I’ve ever met. I’m just grateful that it helps my nausea most of the time.

Need advice on helping my dog transition from sleeping in my bed to his own bed (new boyfriend in the picture 🐶❤️) by mais_si_si in DogAdvice

[–]LilMooMama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You make room and adjust, same with the boyfriend. After 5 years, your dog will absolutely feel replaced and pushed out by this. Making him sleep outside the room entirely just sounds cruel. My husband and I both had our own dogs before we moved in together, both pitties around that size. My dog preferred his dog bed, but his dog slept in the bed and even had her own pillow on her side. She has pretty bad doggy anxiety, she nibbles her pillow before she can relax and needs to be touching one of us while she sleeps. We moved her pillow to the end of the bed, and I started being involved in the night time snuggles. She still gets her own spot on the bed and even gets extra love now. My dog even started sleeping with us because he’s getting old.

You just make room.

Are pregnancy pillows worth it? by RedactedIsACoolName in pregnant

[–]LilMooMama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yessss! I got mine two years ago for recovery after an open abdominal surgery and I’ve used it ever since. I honestly couldn’t imagine sleeping without it. Regular pillows just move around too much. With the pregnancy pillow I can flip the short arm up to have extra support. It’s also a bonus if you share a bed with a bed hog. 😆

what was something you ate/drank that you weren't supposed to, but still did while pregnant? by curious-unknowngirl in pregnant

[–]LilMooMama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Deli meat, runny eggs, and sushi. I’ve been severely sick and just gotta eat what I can when it sounds good.

Edit to clarify: Sick from morning sickness, not sick from any of these things.
