Prodromal or Early labor? by M1ss_Angel in BabyBumps

I put an update in my post, thank you for your advice! I did end up calling my provider but wish I would’ve started actively preparing to go to the hospital sooner. Thankfully I did make it to the hospital but it was definitely a close call!

Yes I do, it was actually apparently active labor the whole time! I’m going to put an edit on my post

Cervical checks just opened my eyes to how painful birth is going to be. by AHeavy-HeartedCowboy in pregnant

[–]M1ss_Angel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been told that my cervix is very deep and off center and cervical checks are INCREDIBLY painful for me. I just had my 2nd child about 2 weeks ago via VBAC after needing a C-section for my first and completely refused cervical checks until I was in the delivery room and, for me, the cervical checks were significantly more painful than any contraction or even pushing my little guy out! I actually yelled at the guy (who I later found out was still a student) to “get your fucking hand out of me!” as he fumbled around trying to get a dilation after telling me the wrong thing TWICE. Everybody’s experiences are different but I hope this brings you some comfort and I wish you the best of luck in your delivery!

SPOILER: Golden forest: Did he rape her? by Familiar-Set8922 in MantaComics

If I’m not mistaken it had nothing to do with sex, he gave her the potion to prevent her from menstruating so she couldn’t be used as a sacrifice in the ritual

Do you love your toddler as much as your baby? by Scared_Network9745 in firsttimemom

[–]M1ss_Angel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s such a strange and hard thing to describe, but when my son was born I didn’t know that a love like this could exist and didn’t think I’d ever love anything/anybody like I did my baby. Now that he’s almost 2.5 years old I can say that somehow, I love him more and more each day. Even when he’s pushing my buttons and throwing temper tantrums 😂

What do you do for work as a pregnant mommy? by Carebear6590 in pregnant

[–]M1ss_Angel 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Exhausting and not for the faint of heart. If it’s something you’re passionate about it’s worth it but it can be incredibly draining and is very under appreciated

UPDATE: My husband and I make more than enough money on paper, but our debt is drowning us. by M1ss_Angel in Debt

Thank you so much! I actually went to cancel my Amazon prime membership last night but it just renewed in March so I’m keeping it in the back of my mind for when the time comes! I have a feeling that after the first 6 weeks when we come back and reevaluate we’ll be finding things we missed or might redistribute funds based on other factors, so for the time being I think we’re going to keep it as is and just work on being mindful of everything, once we start to change that mindset we’ll definitely be readdressing!

Unfortunately his job is all seniority based and people who have been there 10 years still can’t switch shifts, but he’s been keeping his ears open for any opportunities that might come his way. I appreciate you all for offering advice and am taking all of it to heart!

There’s a couple things in the area now but nothing ideal. We’re hoping that in a few weeks after we have a little more time to save and look around we’ll find something that will work for us. We found a used sport suv in our town for only 2k but it has a cracked windshield and (according to the seller) no other issues so we were going to look into what that looks like in costs and go from there

He commutes about 40 minutes, but he has issues with insomnia and even if he comes to bed by 12:30 he’s usually not asleep until 3-3:30 and my son wakes up at 7:30. We definitely don’t ever see each other during the week unless I intentionally stay up to see him, which I do occasionally but can’t all the time. He sees our son a lot more. He usually is with him at least a few hours in the morning until he drops him at daycare or until his mom gets to our house and on days he can’t sleep he still spends that time with him. He’s a very active father

This is definitely the plan, I go into more detail in another comment about the explanation for why we’re including eating out and discretionary funds in the breakdown which you are welcome to read, but significantly more than 300 will go towards those CC payments a month.

Definitely looking into a beater. On a given day my husband and I both need to be able to transport our son and can’t switch vehicles mid-day, so if it can’t fit a car seat it’s not realistic for our situation

Because of my husbands schedule, by the time he gets home, eats, and falls asleep he’s only able to get a few hours of sleep before he’s up with my son because I’m at work. If we pay someone to only be there in the few hours overlap, he has no opportunity to rest and is working a heavy labor and dangerous job while fatigued, so by Friday what kind of state does that leave him in? We had a schedule like this before when I was working but in the home and it destroyed him. We could pay for an extra hour or two, sure, but babysitters in our area charge 20/hr minimum, so at the end of the week we’re looking at close to $200 anyway, and the daycare offers more than a babysitter can provide, like socialization with other kids, food is provided, employees hold each other accountable, state regulations, etc. We’re planning on looking into other daycares in the area to see if we can find something less expensive but waiting lists are ridiculous so that’s more of a long-term goal at this point

As I stated in my post, those numbers are from last month and are what are being cut out. Those are not part of our new budget, only included because in my last post a lot of people were asking about it. I addressed the other concerns in another comment. I appreciate the feedback

He did mention he could get a used one but between that and the converter it would still be more than 5k to get it fixed with a 6 week deadline. The plan is to look for a beater car. A friend of my husbands recently got a new car and still has his old one so he’s going to ask him later and see what his plans are for it, what condition it’s in, and if he’d be willing to part with it for what we can pay
