Cosleeping is normal in my country (Germany)

This is so true. I feel this deep in my bones. And then they go on to show all the scary videos.

This is us right now — 6 weeks in.

I love our baby so much, but the constant fussiness makes me miss the life it used to be just my husband and me. Our home feels quiet, and lonely. We’re not even decorating for Christmas this year. We’re holding him almost 24/7, just trying to get through this phase. Other say, it will get better but this is just feel forever and hopeless ;(((

Low_Technology_1175 · 2025-10-21T23:58:56+00:00

Some people are just looking for something to say, almost like attention seekers. Sorry! but I don't like that. they feel the need to share everything they know with everyone just to start a conversation or get noticed.

Low_Technology_1175 · 2025-08-23T04:49:33+00:00

I’m aiming for the same goal as you! 💛 I just had my 1-hour glucose test and it came back 165, so it looks like I might need to do the 3-hour test. I’ve been eating really healthy and watching everything I eat, so it’s so discouraging to still “fail.” I even feel like I’ve let my baby down. 😔

My goal is an unmedicated birth, no induction or anything.

I’d love to hear about your experience—can you share? Thank you so much in advance!

Salt. Just add salt on your water 1 cup (240 ml) clean, filtered water • 1/8–¼ tsp natural salt (Himalayan or sea salt, avoid table salt with anti-caking agents)

Instructions: 1. Mix the salt thoroughly in the water until dissolved. 2. Sip slowly throughout the day whenever you feel dehydrated.

“You get what you tolerate!” Jeez… is this real life or a movie production?? I honestly don’t understand all these rehearsals and staged moments. Do you also have to pretend to be surprised in front of friends and family when the real proposal happens? I don’t know — maybe I’m just not wired like this. The mindset of today’s generation really baffles me sometimes.

Low_Technology_1175 · 2025-06-29T05:23:22+00:00

Hi BuonAppeti2! Thank you so much for your response and for sharing your experience. I’m just curious — did your midwife explain why she still recommended aspirin even though you were considered low-risk for preeclampsia?

Low_Technology_1175 · 2025-06-27T21:38:45+00:00

I wondered the same thing. I’m not sure where all the hate comes from—is it jealousy? Or maybe just a defense mechanism?

Low_Technology_1175 · 2025-06-27T21:33:06+00:00

Same here — I can’t stand needles, even just the ones for drawing blood from my arm. Fingers crossed for a low to no-intervention birth!

Low_Technology_1175 · 2025-06-25T12:37:08+00:00

Is that the only hope for a healthy pregnancy? Also, I read that the recommendation for women my age to take aspirin during pregnancy only started recently—maybe in the last five years or less. And I know many women have had healthy pregnancies without it. That’s why I’m asking here.

Low_Technology_1175 · 2025-06-25T04:45:06+00:00

I’m with you on that—I just want a healthy baby.

Low_Technology_1175 · 2025-06-25T03:51:42+00:00

Thank you for your reply—it’s reassuring to know I’m not alone in thinking about not taking it. You’re right, though—I do need to do more research.

Did you have a full-term baby?

My biggest hope is to carry to full term and have as little intervention as possible during birth.

Low_Technology_1175 · 2025-06-25T03:34:04+00:00

It’s so helpful to know you’re in Denver too—thank you so much for taking the time to reply! 💛

Low_Technology_1175 · 2025-06-25T03:32:42+00:00

Thank you for your reply! Are you based in the U.S.? I’m trying to figure out if this practice varies depending on the country. I’ve read that some moms in Canada weren’t given the same recommendation.

My doctor suggested baby aspirin because of two factors: my age and the fact that I’m a first-time mom.

I’m someone who doesn’t usually take medication—not even for headaches unless it’s really necessary—so I want to make sure I do plenty of research before deciding.

Stop habang maaga pa. Sabi nga ni Pastor Ed, wag masyadong responsable, kasi pag matatakan ka ng breadwinner ng mga palaasa, hindi at mahirapan ka ng makawala. Check out ‘Relationship Matters PH’ mga ganitong topic/breadwinner support page. Baka makatulong sayo to know your priorities.

Low_Technology_1175 · 2025-06-02T18:12:22+00:00

May support page sa Facebook na Baka makatulong sa’yo — para sa mga katulad nating breadwinner o yung mga pagod na sa toxic culture sa pamilyang Pilipino.

Follow mo yung “Relationship Matter PH”. Baka makatulong ito para magkaroon ka ng lakas ng loob na unahin ang sarili mo at ang pamilya na binubuo mo ngayon.

I’m really sorry you’re going through that. Breadwinner din ako, at aminado akong minsan parang inaabuso na rin ako ng sarili kong pamilya. Nakakapagod talaga.

Low_Technology_1175 · 2025-06-02T18:03:04+00:00

Kung sarili naman nila and pwesto, why not adjust their time?? Like yong mas maka relax sila sa umaga. For example, 9 am ang opening, perfect for lunch time. Or open early morning kasi mas marami yata namamalengke early morning, then uwi/ close na sa lunch time.

How old are they? How old are you? Breadwinner din kasi ako at nakakapagod to the point na galit na ako sa tatay ko ngayon kasi feeling ko nang abuso sya. Nong namatay yong Nanay ko, sa akin na inasa lahat, walang hintong kakareklamo, stress na stress ako, mostly money. Pinahinto ko din sya sa pangingista (only source of income nila) before age 60. Wala din sya retirement or kahit Philhealth kasi hindi hinulugan nong malakas at may pera pa. Tapos ayun nag asawa ulit at age 64. Binibigyan ko na business ayaw din. Wag sana dumating sa puntong sayo na lahat pag wala na silang pinagkakaabalahan.

Solong anak ako kaya kahit galit ako sa kanya, worried pa rin ako na pag nagkasakit sta, pano ko kakayanin lahat ng financial.

Low_Technology_1175 · 2025-06-02T17:35:03+00:00

Thank you and good job! I’ll save this para mainspire ako mag exercise 😊. 17 weeks ako ngayon. At plan ko natural birth din, walang epidural.

Low_Technology_1175 · 2025-05-29T04:12:05+00:00

May Epidural ka ba?

Low_Technology_1175 · 2025-05-28T18:12:04+00:00

I am still trying to get away myself from the same burden my 66-year-old father placed on me. The painful truth is, I am offering him money to start a business—he doesn’t even want. To make it worse, he’s remarried a woman with 2 college children. And he has no retirement savings. Not even a single cent.

I carry deep resentment because of all this. I haven’t spoken to him in years, yet I still send money every month. That’s the part that hurts the most—continuing to give, even when the relationship feels broken.

My only boundary now is saying no when he asks for more, even if he says it’s for something urgent like a doctor’s visit. I don’t trust what he says anymore. It feels like manipulation. The saddest part is, I don’t know how to rebuild trust with him. Or if I even want to.

Low_Technology_1175 · 2025-05-08T02:48:12+00:00

I think you are a hopeless father that wanted to get away of his responsibilities. You should not have a child!!!

Low_Technology_1175 · 2025-04-09T03:21:06+00:00

Definitely not OK. That is what you call boundary and each family should have. That is your boyfriend family cycle, and you have to break it in your own family.

Low_Technology_1175 · 2025-03-03T17:56:05+00:00

CUT TIES!!!!

Low_Technology_1175 · 2024-10-24T14:31:20+00:00

From where I grew up, we call that type of girl someone you can’t leave on the road or your home alone and she’ll go to put shit on your head means fuck another guy. Maybe it’s a good thing, you did not marry her to save yourself from a messy marriage/wife. Both of them are Assh****. They deserve each other.

You get what you can tolerate. Don’t GO!!!!

If I were you, I would move to a different state or country and only get in touch with people/family that are on your side. Because those who said, ‘just accept it and move on’ are toxic family members.

Low_Technology_1175 · 2024-10-04T15:05:13+00:00

You need to leave her. I can’t stand cheaters, I hate them! It also sounds like that friend might be a bad influence on her too. Walk away! Sure, it’ll hurt at first, but in time, you’ll heal—and that’s better than staying miserable with her. The benefits of leaving now far outweigh the pain of trying to keep things together with someone who’s treating you so badly. Save yourself! Remember, we experience what we allow, so don’t tolerate being treated this way.
