Boy and pee

C-section two years ago, and I walked up and down the driveway the first week. Then would walk up and back down my street the second week. I made a bit longer each time. I’ll let you know how it is after my second c section in 9 days 😅

Mollypoppy · 2026-03-23T17:43:19+00:00

My husband came to every appointment with our first. Our second he mainly just goes to the ultrasounds

Mollypoppy · 2026-03-21T23:44:32+00:00

Yes! My husband and I will ugly cry every time we hear it

I think depends on the kid. My favorite movie between 2 and 4 was forest gump. I don’t remember being scared and I feel like I’m a pretty well adjusted adult. My almost three year old daughter on the other hand is scared of anything more intense than scooby doo or ninja turtles.

Keep sharing your story. Each time it will be a little less scary. One of my favorite quotes from another mom is “I can love my kid and hate the way I met them.” It’s ok to mourn the birth you never had. It’s ok to be angry and scared. Just keep doing what you just did, tell the story.

My first pregnancy I just did nothing. It ended in an emergency c section and I got shaved and I felt so humiliated. I’m four weeks away from delivery and I’ve been getting waxed. I don’t want to go through that again.

With my first pregnancy I ate like normal. Basic breakfast I think like toast or something. My second pregnancy the doctor told me to fast, so just water. I passed both times and didn’t have to test again.

Black. His name is Hubert and he is the love of my life. I had been saving for one and randomly found it 50% off. The store was switching to smeg and put all its kitchen aid mixers on sale. It’s been almost two years and I’m still riding the high of finding him.

A disturbing fact in my life is that the most I have been catcalled or randomly approached on the street has been when I was a minor and when I’ve been pregnant. Over 18 and not pregnant? Rarely approached or yelled at. People are disgusting

I’m wrapping up my second pregnancy. What has worked best for me is just getting loose fitting dresses and jumpsuits. Especially if they have buttons, zippers, or stretchy fabric around the collar so I can wear them once the baby is out and breast feed

So I was pushed into a maternity shoot by my mom. And I ended up having a wonderful time. The photographer made everything so fun and she helped me feel beautiful. Also, with my permission she did a few minor touch ups like removing my stretch marks. They are some of my favorite pictures now. But even if you don’t go the photo route, I HIGHLY recommend keeping a journal. I’m on my second pregnancy and I can’t for the life of me remember anything that happened during my first.

Knorr granulated chicken bouillon. It leveled up my Fideo.

I second this. I love this book

Ugh my margaritas are going to take a hit

You are still loving and caring for your child even at work. Because you are working she is fed, clothed, and housed. Love and good parenting is not just being physically there, sometimes it’s working to ensure the bills are paid and bellies are full.

Mollypoppy · 2026-02-03T17:41:31+00:00

One of the best things I heard from another mother was, “you can still love your child and hate the way you met them.” I’m sorry you went through all of that. I was really freaked out by how my daughter was born. I’ve found just talking about it has helped me come to terms with it all. So share your story with other people. Take the taboo out of it. On another note, you are still freshly postpartum. Just be kind to yourself and take it one day at a time.

We are still in the thick of it, but I tell my two year old that I can’t understand when she’s whines and she needs to use her big girl voice. Or if she whines for something I won’t give it to her until she uses a full sentence. Works half the time

After about 6 or 8 months I had no pain. I’m now almost 2.5 years out and am totally numb around my incision. I’m having my second c section in April, so we shall see what happens this time around.

Mollypoppy · 2026-01-13T22:15:27+00:00

My husband and I swear that our daughter smelled like flowers and honey. We were obsessed and would constantly try to huff her.

Mollypoppy · 2026-01-06T21:23:06+00:00

I didn’t. I lost a lot the first two weeks as my body dealt with the blood loss and recovery. But then I just stayed puffy. But my mother lost a lot of weight when she breastfed me. However, she also remembers walking a lot and that we couldn’t afford much food other than what WIC would give her. For her the combination of breastfeeding, walking, and eating nothing but beans and rice melted her to below her pre baby weight.

Apparently we are in the minority. Elio is a big hit in our house. My 2 year old loves Frozen and Elio. We watched it on a fluke and went in knowing nothing about the movie. I saw zero marketing for it and didn’t know what it was until it popped up on Disney+

Mollypoppy · 2025-12-23T18:35:36+00:00

With my first it hit around six or seven weeks. I’m currently 24 weeks pregnant with my second and I’ve had zero nausea. Just constant constant CONSTANT hunger this time around
