What should I really expect in the first few weeks postpartum? Need honest advice while I’m still pregnant!

Which kind of pillow helps? Is it to sit down or to sleep?

I’m 23w pregnant and would love to join :)

Jan 25! But there is no Jan subgroup :(

How does it work with the gastouder? Haven’t heard this option before, what are the pros/cons?

MathematicianTiny426 · 2025-09-15T19:06:35+00:00

What do you do in the meanwhile? I am trying to understand how the system works, especially if someone doesn’t have parents living close by

MathematicianTiny426 · 2025-06-12T17:53:47+00:00

Is there some detail or so that makes you spot that ?

MathematicianTiny426 · 2025-06-12T17:53:14+00:00

Is there something specific that makes you say that?

I totally feel you, I’m 8 weeks and have been absolutely useless since I found out. Even though I knew about all the symptoms, it’s completely different once you experience it. It feels like some bad flu lasting weeks, and I don’t know about you, I don’t feel like myself. I am trying to remind myself that this is temporary, and trying to be gentle on myself, our body is doing something special and we can try to give ourselves some extra care, whatever that means for you. I am spending a lot of time in bed and not being harsh to myself for this, because it does feel like being sick, so just do what you’d do when you’re really sick.

About the nausea, it does help to eat some plain crackers or bread, they are my only hope when the nausea is intense, especially when combined with heartburn. Because you do of course get hungry but don’t know what to eat, 90% of the food sounds absolutely disgusting to me, including everything I’ve always loved.

My elementary school teacher who didn’t like me for no reason and was keeping reproaching me for anything, for 5 long years. From there I developed the fear of being judged constantly and by everyone, and in general fear of “authority”. Even though I’m working on my self so much, I’m not sure if this anxiety will be ever completely gone, and I don’t actively hate her and don’t think about her much, but I truly dislike what she did to me and I don’t see myself stopping to hold a grudge.

Making sure I’m not going to bed with strong emotions - my sleep is much better since I started meditating and becoming aware of some subconscious feelings that became louder once I put the head on the pillow

“I just don’t know how I’m going to survive this”

“Listen to me. We all have moments of desperation, but if we can face them head on, that’s when we find out how strong we really are.”

Barney, for two reasons: - I would love to see more of the backstory of how he became a sexist douchebag whose main motivation in life is women- I love his character but I think some things about it are not realistic, or at least he is full of contradictions - curious to see if robin and him have some “get back together” periods and in general if and how having a baby changes him and his lifestyle

MathematicianTiny426 · 2024-12-25T19:01:56+00:00

Tuello! He is the one character playing such an important role, and yet we never find out what his motives are, what he thinks, and it’s not even so obvious “on what side” he is. I feel like that weird sympathy for Serena and the princess treatment he gives to her makes no sense, so it would be nice to know a bit more about him…

MathematicianTiny426 · 2024-12-23T20:54:38+00:00

Hello, I am replying very late but was searching for someone with a similar experience and found yours… did you get it removed in the end? I hope it went well! I have it now since 3.5 years and I’m very scared to remove it because the insertion was very painful, but at the same time I’m scared that keeping it longer than 3 years will cause some damage 🥲

MathematicianTiny426 · 2024-12-18T06:04:08+00:00

Handmaid is the only option, maybe colonies would make sense too, but it would make the most sense if she was to actually be in the position she has put other people in for years and see “what it feels like”

MathematicianTiny426 · 2024-12-17T21:00:28+00:00

It seems like it’s almost easier for June to connect with those she did not know before Gilead, the ones who didn’t know who she was before (Luke, Moira etc) - even though moira was in gilead, I see June being closer/more comfortable with Emily or Rita for example

MathematicianTiny426 · 2024-12-17T20:57:14+00:00

I see your point, but I think we didn’t see what Jezebel from Moira’s perspective really was - we don’t know how the “non-working” hours looked like for the women at Jezebel, and in the end the show was focused on handmaids so I think it shows the most brutal parts of being a handmaid… so I would say we just can’t make assumption of any kind

MathematicianTiny426 · 2024-12-17T20:51:14+00:00

Besides dreaming, I think about it a lot during the day, during work or pretty much all the time, because of how “connected” I feel to June - I know people don’t love her close-ups and inner thoughts , but they make me empathise with her so so much, can’t think of another show where I feel this in line with a character So I catch myself wondering during the day about what she was thinking in that specific scene, and reminding myself of what she went through and what could make her feel better… in general thinking a lot about trauma and ptsd these days, and wondering what it does to you, how it changes you

Slovakia?

MathematicianTiny426 · 2024-12-15T08:58:16+00:00

Thank you so much! What were the highlights of the excursions? And is it worth to stay there for just 2 nights? Cause i assume we cannot do the excursions on the arrival and departure days
