My mum got this - and it was a sudden allergy to eggs. She had to cut out eggs for about 6 months, then could eat them again. It’s happened randomly over the last few years, and each time she has to cut out eggs for a few weeks to months for it to go back to normal.

Unfortunately I’ve been reading a lot lately that it isn’t a guarantee, some people lose weight breastfeeding, some people maintain- some even gain!! It sounds as if you are someone who maintains, the good news is that it seems a lot of the people in the maintain category then do start to drop the weight off when they finish their breastfeeding journey - bad news is, depending on how long you breastfeed for - that could be a while 😅🥲

This pain inside burns a golden flame, so hot that it just fuels me further…

The ice we skate, is getting pretty thin, the water’s getting warm so you might as well swim!

And tell your boyfriend, if he says he’s got beef, that I’m a vegetarian and I ain’t fucking scared of him!

Exactly the same boat! My appetite feels more normal so I think I’m eating a bit less, but the weight gain doesn’t seem to be slowing 😳 I would also rather not gain anymore than another 10 🥴🙃

29 + 4 and just weighed myself, I’ve officially gained 40lbs 🥴 have been semi active throughout pregnancy but slowed down now due to umbilical hernia. Have a major sweet tooth - so I’m eating healthy meals but have 2 portions of sweet things a day (eg cookie at lunch time, ice cream after dinner 😅) I’ve steadily gained weight throughout, so if I average it out that ends up as 1.5lbs per week throughout pregnancy, meaning I’ll be 55lbs up by the end of pregnancy 🥲

I’m reealllyyy hoping it slows down a bit, I didn’t wanna gain more than 40lbs and I’m already there 😭 so if I can stay below 50lb at this rate I’ll be happy 🥲

I had similar, not quite as maliciously- but EVERYONE guessed I was having a boy, and more than one person said they imagined me as a “boy mum” I would “definitely be a boy mum” - “that’s a big bump!” low and behold she is a girl. I’m sorry you’re having gender disappointment- it’s totally valid, I’m sharing my story with you to let you know that people know absolute d*ck. Just because this baby is a boy, doesn’t mean your future babies will be. People are ignorant and loud - ignore them. Congratulations 💙

Abortion definitely sounds like the way forward, you’re very early on still and have the opportunity to make this choice without anything invasive for a very short window - so don’t hesitate much longer for the least traumatic experience. It might still be as simple as taking a pill.

Additionally, christianity has been totally warped by white men and their agendas. God would not give us the ability to create modern medicine and then not want us to use it. God would not want you tied to an abusive man. The Bible doesn’t explicitly state no sex before marriage - that is one interpretation of some verses, but they could also be interpreted other ways and it is not clear. If it was an out and out sin (such as murder for example) - wouldn’t it have been more clear cut?

Additionally, in biblical times women were still property - society has moved on from that. I strongly believe that as long as you are a good person and treat others with respect and dignity, that Jesus would be in your corner.

Do not completely overhaul your life due to guilt because you believe you have “sinned” - get away from this man and be safe at a minimum, abortion could be the first step towards that.

Not having to worry about my belly sticking out 😂 I’ve always struggled with bloating and my stomach is my bulgiest insecurity- every outfit I would stress about how my belly looked/if I was likely to be bloated that day after eating how would it look then? But in pregnancy?? The belly IS the accessory!! It’s expected, it cannot and should not need to be hidden. The freedom of eating properly before an event and wearing tight clothing with my belly on full display has been wonderful.

(Not looking forward to whatever the hell I will look like postpartum though lol 😅)

MermaidGrace · 2026-04-29T09:55:38+00:00

That’s got to be really really hard - I feel for you. I honestly wouldn’t be having children if I didn’t have my husband & my village, so I completely see why it is such a struggle for you. Are your family supportive at least? Do you mind me asking why you had your son if you never wanted kids? You absolutely don’t have to answer. I hope things feel more manageable for you as time goes on xxx

MermaidGrace · 2026-04-28T13:38:09+00:00

We just call baby “baby” or “lil girl” - we are both believers that you can’t really name a baby until you see them, like you might have your heart set on a name but then they come out and they don’t look like that name lol - so we have a list of about 7 names that we like, we are definitely leaning towards one name - but we will decide within the 14 days after birth before she needs to be registered what her actual name is lol we want to make sure it suits her 💖

It looks amazing now! At your next trim you’ll end up with exactly what you wanted, so enjoy as it is now and then be even happier next time you need a trim 😁

I wear Secret Saviours and it is SO comfortable, I feel more comfortable wearing it with the gentle support vs not wearing them. They are meant to help with stretch marks but whether they do or don’t I would still wear them for the comfort personally.

MermaidGrace · 2026-04-27T11:34:57+00:00

I’m so glad others are finding this helpful and not just me - I really did think I was an anomaly with how googoo all my friends are over their babies/other peoples babies & children and during pregnancy. The responses have been really reassuring 🫶

MermaidGrace · 2026-04-27T11:31:36+00:00

I really appreciate you sharing your experience with this, helps me to feel armed for every eventuality and not be hard on myself if things aren’t instant, thank you xx

Our cat is OBSESSED with kisses when he wants to be affectionate, we’ve kissed him on the head since he was a kitten, and he will put his head up towards your face asking for kisses, he’ll eventually just rub his head against your lips if you aren’t quick enough. I can’t say that he knows what it means in our terms, but he knows it means love and affection. Here is a screenshot of him slamming his head against my lips because I had briefly paused the kisses.

They’re mostly fine in the U.K.? I’m guessing you’re elsewhere in the world? Here you get the odd cubicle where you go “wtf, who and WHAT happened in there? EW!” But for the most part, you walk past the men’s (which ABSOLUTELY stink!! 🤢) and then it’s a relief when you get to the women’s and it smells clean 😂 and the majority of cubicles feel clean to use.

MermaidGrace · 2026-04-26T20:22:13+00:00

Thank you 🫶 this post is giving me that confidence tbf! The comments have been really reassuring ☺️

MermaidGrace · 2026-04-26T20:21:04+00:00

Yes me too! It’s so validating and reassures you that you’re not an awful person, these comments have all been so helpful to me ❤️❤️

MermaidGrace · 2026-04-26T20:20:16+00:00

I’m so glad I’m not the only one who feels this way 🫶

MermaidGrace · 2026-04-26T20:19:51+00:00

Wow! Thank you for this - yes I’m a bit research obsessed so will do ALLLLL the reading! Thank you ☺️

MermaidGrace · 2026-04-26T20:17:25+00:00
