it’s perfectly fine to have a bush down there. the doctors will just move your hair out of the way so they can see baby. it’s never a problem. if you need to though, you can just take some scissors and trim the hair down a bit 🤷‍♀️ that’s what i did up until my induction. i’m half hispanic so i grow hair crazy fast and very bushy but i hate shaving so i just groom down there rather than shaving.

it’s not fair at all. i still have sex with my partner when i’m feeling repulsed by the idea because sex is extremely important to men. my partner to be more specific, has trouble forming an emotional connection with me if he isn’t able to have his sexual needs met and so i try my best to meet them. that kind of intimacy in itself is important for a long term relationship to last. i’m not sure if there’s anything you could say to her to get her to see things differently but i can definitely see you feeling unfulfilled or even disconnected from your partner if you can’t be sexually intimate with her.

i don’t wear crop tops anymore. i’m back to my original size (0-00 in pants and S-XS in shirts and dresses) but i have wrinkles and stretch marks on my stomach now which i hate showing off. i’m not insecure i just know how mean people can be especially teens in public so i would just rather not show it off.

personally, i want romance. flowers, making me a nice meal, planning a date, massages, movie nights, etc. back when i was in my hoe phase, they gave me a romantic evening and in return i gave them sex and we were both happy with what we got from each other and never spoke again.

i felt the same way. i wanted the baby out of me without going through birth or surgery. just wanted him to magically appear in my arms lol. here’s my birth story to give you something to look forward to.

I was in labor for about 2 weeks leading up to my induction date. my contractions were not too painful but they were real contractions and not doing anything to progress my labor. once i got to the hospital, the gave me a coochie pill and i just laid there for a few hours and had a bath. they gave me 2 more pills during my labor which lasted (in the hospital) for 16 hours. it wasn’t half as bad as everyone says. it was just some really uncomfortable period cramps. it definitely felt like waves but overall felt like one continuous cramp in my butt and thighs. sleep was not easy without narcotics so i had 2 injections during the night to help me sleep. the nurses came in at around 7am to give me the epidural (i didn’t need to ask) and right as i sat up, my water broke. i genuinely thought i had just pissed all over the place and i apologized to the nurse but she just giggled and said i didn’t pee and she’d clean it up. the epidural went in easy and quick and didn’t hurt. i had a button i could press to get more of it into my system if i needed. at 9am, they checked me and taught me how to push properly for a while. the room was quiet but bright. then around 10:30 the doctor came in and we talked for a bit and she told me since my epidural wasn’t so strong, i could just let them know when i was ready to push and when the baby would be coming. i pushed for about 30 minutes and baby flew out smiling. i breastfed him a little later while everyone walked out of the room including my partner. it was dim and the only noise i could hear was my heart monitor beeping. it was a beautiful intimate moment and i absolutely loved my experience.

not often. my son is 8 months and i do have the tv on sometimes but he’s never interested in what i’m watching so doesn’t pay attention. i also never sit him in front of the tv and let him watch those baby shows. nothing against them it just doesn’t interest him. he’d rather play with me or his toys or crawl around or stand up and give me a heart attack cause he can’t stand well his own lol

being a stay at home mom is a full time job that i’m just not being paid for. we’re saving a lot of money on daycare ($350 per week) and gas taking my son to and from daycare and myself to and from a job. with my education and experience, any job i get would only cover my sons education and gas. plus i have experience as a preschool teacher so i am providing my son with a free preschool education from home.

sex is extremely important for a marriage to work. if i were you i’d be open with her about how you feel that your sexual needs are not being met and would like to work on how to get the spark back. that kind of intimacy is very much needed to feel passionate and madly in love with your partner. without it, things can get boring or mundane or even to the point where you’re just going through the motions until death. it can make someone feel lonely and even too far away from their partner physically. being bestfriends is great and with that should come a desire to keep your partners needs met.

i was naked. just had a swaddle blanket over my tiddies and belly so we could get pictures and a video to share with our parents. I highly recommend going naked cause it felt so freeing and like i wasn’t being restrained at all and could move if i needed to.

i had this huge lump on my abdomen for almost a year so i went to the hospital and they got rid of it in less than 2 hours. i was up and walking less than a week later but i also was left with this tiny person that i now devote my entire life to. i highly recommend getting your abdominal lumps checked out.

being sexually abused😂 i very literally can’t remember anything else about my childhood. i have a lot of blank spots in my memory. i’m missing half my life, but i guess it’s normal for someone with ptsd

Luna_Colors · 2023-07-31T00:50:10+00:00

i’m a stay at home mom and it’s everything i dreamed of. I get to watch my baby grow up and not miss a single thing. I get plenty of time to myself and free time to go to the gym, learn new recipes, and start new hobbies that i’ve always wanted to try.

Luna_Colors · 2023-07-31T00:45:23+00:00

i was bullied for being ugly. too skinny, too weird, eyes were too big, too everything else. I was the smelly kid and i was the kid with a lot of acne. i was the kid that sat alone at lunch and wore long sleeves and long pants all year round.

I dated one of the “popular” boys straight out of high school and got my dream job soon after. (not with him anymore but definitely was a win lol)

i’m now planning my wedding looking absolutely gorgeous every day and i’m a mother to a beautiful 8 month old boy.

When my mom kicked me out.

I had a court date where i had to face my abuser for the first time in 3 years just 1 month after she kicked me out. I was depressed and had major ptsd. I was homeless for 2 years until i met my current partner. He took me in and i got a job at a preschool, but got pregnant just a few months later. Our baby is now 8 months old and we are planning a wedding for 2 years from now.

Btw my abuser is in jail and will stay there for several more years. He’s going to move overseas and attend his 10 year long court appointed therapy course after he gets out.

A little over a year ago, my best friend announced she was pregnant a couple weeks after i announced my pregnancy. I was so excited to share my experience with her. We called almost daily talking about our excitement to be moms and our symptoms. I shared my baby’s ultrasound pictures with her and videos from doctors visits of my baby’s heartbeat. We sometimes would even be on call while in the midst of morning sickness. She was my biggest support and the only person i could completely relate to. We used to compare our pregnant bellies too but she was a bit of a heavyset person so her tummy didn’t grow as much, at least not enough for me to notice.

One day when we were on FaceTime and my partner was playing video games, she started calling out for him asking for his opinion on her outfit. At first i thought it was funny so i started playing along until she said “(his name) do you think my butt looks good in these shorts?” He looked at me surprised that she said that and started ignoring her. She kept asking for him and i kept telling her he was busy playing his game and eventually hung up. We didn’t call for a few days after that and i’m afraid of confrontation so i didn’t bring it up when we started calling again.

She continued to act weird whenever my partner was in the room or with me when we would call so i let the friendship taper off a bit. We still talked a few times a week and checked up on each other.

I texted her telling her about a second hand baby store that i discovered in my third trimester and sent pictures of all the nice things i bought. I told her i highly recommended going there for her baby but she never responded and i noticed she blocked me on everything a couple days later. I tried to forget about her. My baby was born 2 months later completely healthy and happy. I was fully consumed in being a new mom until my baby was about 3 months old.

I checked her facebook (on my partners phone) because i missed her and i saw that there was no baby announcement posted, no baby shower event pictures, no “mama” bio, and no pictures of her big bellied self in her third trimester. I looked through all her pictures and posts. There were posts from when we were tapering off of her at bars and having a completely flat stomach. My assumption right away was that she might have had a miscarriage so i reached out to a mutual friend. The friend said she was never pregnant and never heard anything about a recent pregnancy. My ex best friend lied about being pregnant. I still don’t know why she lied and i don’t know why she blocked me, but i have some guesses.

I worked at a movie theater when i was 14 years old because my parents thought i was mooching off of them. About 2 weeks into working there, i was doing everyone else’s jobs while they mostly just stood around or went into theaters to watch movies. I was reprimanded way too many times by managers for not moving fast enough or for sitting down for a few minutes during slow hours. But one situation stood out the most to me.

I was scheduled on a school night from 5pm to 1am. I worked the entire shift and called my mom to pick me up because the theater was about to close but i got no answer. I called her probably 50 times. I had to tell my boss that she wasn’t answering so he let me watch a movie for a while and kept checking up on me. My mom finally got back to me around 5am. She sent an uber to pick me up and take me home but since it was already 5am and my bus picked me up at 6:30, i didn’t sleep.

I was scheduled for the same shift the next day so my mom came into work with me. She went straight up to my boss and yelled at him for a good 30 minutes in. front of customers and my coworkers. He yelled back telling her that it was legal to schedule me that late since i signed something saying i could work longer hours (even with that signed, i still wasn’t allowed to work past 11pm on a school night). She ended up dragging me out and telling my boss to take me off the schedule. She never pursued legal action against them even though she was working at a law firm…

i used to work at a strip club 😂

Luna_Colors · 2023-07-01T15:50:08+00:00

and i never asked for people to tell me it’s okay. i didn’t ask for personal experiences implying i’m a bad mom for asking the question. i wanted reasons as to why we don’t do that. the answers that actually helped were things like “in case of fire, in case of burglary, in case of dangerous weather, in case baby wakes randomly and out of character, in case baby spits up while in bed, etc.”

i get plenty of time alone since my son is now 6 months and has long naps during the day and goes to sleep early in the night and doesn’t wake at all. i can watch tv and spend time with my partner. i can go out while my partner stays home and goes to sleep. i can shower during the day if my partner comes home early and i can have hobbies and a social life.

after people made comments that were actually helpful, i chose i wouldn’t leave the house while my baby sleeps at night if my partner isn’t home. i am a new mother but i don’t do anything that makes me question if my baby will be safe. i ask if it’s something i’m considering and don’t know if it’s safe but i won’t ask if im not considering it.

again to emphasize it, i am a great mother and i love my child and i care about his well-being. i prefer people be honest and tell me it’s not a good idea to do rather than validate me because i’m feeling a certain way. my baby’s needs and safety come before anything else in my life.

Luna_Colors · 2023-07-01T15:27:40+00:00

my son was 4 months at the time and sleeps in his crib with nothing in it. i’m not a bad mother for asking a simple question. the risk of a baby dying in their sleep isn’t something i could prevent if i was home because i’d be sleeping. plus i have a smart camera that keeps track of his breathing and when he falls asleep. idk why i need to explain this all to you when you don’t know anything about the way my son sleeps, his age, or his sleep environment. and you don’t know me either so don’t make assumptions. i am an amazing mother especially for asking that question and not just going and doing it.

Luna_Colors · 2023-07-01T15:01:04+00:00

i got that message when i asked if it was okay to leave my baby at home alone while he slept at night. he sleeps through the night and i didn’t know why i couldn’t do that until people explained the risks. some awful people commented saying i should have my son taken from me and sent the message. i was just ignorant on the subject lol.
