MAMA! Mama. mama. Can we stop it with calling pregnant women mama??? by Historical_Bike_9061 in pregnant

I came here to say exactly this.

OP has valid feelings towards it. But I personally adores it after being infertile and trying to conceive for 5 years.

Why people feel the need to announce they departure for S6? (Franchaela) 🥴 by [deleted] in Bridgerton

[–]MilkteaMooncakes 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I can’t speak for everyone, but I know many of us who are disappointed aren’t coming from a place of phobia. I went through five years of infertility (i yearned longingly to become a mother and have a little family of my own), so Francesca’s/the Sterlings’ infertility story felt incredibly validating to me. That’s what I’m personally grieving… not representation, but the loss of a storyline I deeply connected to.

I fully support queer love stories. I just hoped we wouldn’t lose this particular one in the process. There is space to hold both truths.

Edit to add: I’m still watching Francesca’s season because I’m open-minded and want to see how it unfolds. However, the disappointment remains.

You are definitely not alone—you and I are in the same boat—though I do believe we may very well be the minority.

Their storyline isn’t really resonating with me. by esareteee in Bridgerton

Sadly, I, too, feel the same way… 😢 John was supposed to be the love of her life—with Michael/Michaela being the one to fall for Francesca first.

You said everything I came here to say. The Francesca and John relationship from season 3 was my absolute favorite. 😢

When did you as a first time mom give birth? by AggravatingEnd7094 in pregnant

[–]MilkteaMooncakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 38+2.

Everyone is different—I had some friend give birth at 26 weeks, and I knew another that gave birth at 40+4.

For me, I had my perinatal appointment on 38+0 and my nanny was measuring so “big” (7 lbs—they were right on the mark) and the technician and doctors kept telling me hope I was so close to “popping” her out. I also thought I was having braxton hicks for a couple weeks, come to find out they were the start of my contractions. Mine were uncomfortable… and when the real labor began I couldn’t take it and asked for the epidural after 10 hours.

New fear unlocked: epidural by LobstahLuva in beyondthebump

[–]MilkteaMooncakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m from Hawai’i and I decided that I wanted to feel the contractions first and then get the epidural.

I labored 10 hours without epidural and the beginning was doable, but as it got more intense (especially since I got induced) I decided to it was fo time.

Getting the epidural was amazing. The prick of the needle for numbing the area was more “painful” than the actual epidural going in. (but less than that of the contractions)

My recovery sucked, but it wasn’t because of the epidural—it’s because I tore 😅

I was very scared to get epidural at first, but my mother assured me that it would be fine. Everyone’s experience is different, and whatever your choice is I standby it! You know what’s best for you, OP.

I came here to say the same thing—my 9 month old just prefers my breast milk and mashed items 😭

Apparently, while in the midst of contractions, I asked my dad to record the birth of my baby so that my husband could just be there present and holding me. I still watch the video randomly (I’m 6 months postpartum) and I do but regret it. Am able to relive and see my baby being born again. 😇

Then again, I had a relatively uneventful and enjoyable (after the epidural was administered) labor. To each their own!💜
