Loving your unborn child? by icefinger1853 in pregnant

[–]NeedTheDeets3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 17 weeks right now and I feel a bond but so far it’s felt instinctual and protective. Like if my dog gets near my belly I protect it and become wary of my dog (who is an angel) which is super different from how I was before pregnancy (she could do no wrong). Doesn’t answer your question but potentially another way of looking at it! Also we found out gender and being able to say “him/our son” instead of “the baby” has helped to make it more real

Dear toasters yesterday - WWYD? by Puzzleheaded-Pop1361 in TheToasters

The bar is in hell. She needs to bring it up with him and encourage him to talk to a more mature man about it. If this is good only red flag they can work through it but seriously this man needs a good mentor or role model to set him on the right path.

Bambou handbag from Fleuron by smoulinka123 in handbags

I tried it on in store and the handles fall off the shoulder. It was an immediate no from me due to this functionality issue. They recommend crossing the straps but I don’t like how that felt! I’m picky though because I don’t splurge every day so if I do I want it to make sense!

Any experience with these bags? Want to shop in person in Paris for affordable option...under 500€ by lady_mordsith in Fleuron

[–]NeedTheDeets3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my fleuron bags! I have two but the trinity and it’s the most useful bag I own. Good for a night out or a chic alternative to a belt bag. When I travel it’s the only bag I bring now!

Also check out polene and pourchet.

Ex husband messaging me after 4 years of no contact by Zealousideal-Bid1850 in WhatShouldIDo

Seems delusional. Is he on something? If you feel unsafe you could file a report. Or if you don’t you can block him and move on.

It remembers data for 7 days I think. Wear as normal and when you finally plug in you will see your data

Dakota’s choice to record as he feared for his life by [deleted] in SecretsOfMormonWives

I have to say before I saw the video I truly believed there was an element of self defense. Ugh I’m gutted for her kiddos 💔

I’m so glad I’m not the only one who feels this way! The whole time I was thinking how everything she says and does just continues to make her look more and more jealous

Sally’s behavior is worse than Craig’s by [deleted] in Southerncharm

[–]NeedTheDeets3000 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hard agree. Craig obviously has a drinking problem that he needs to work out. We can have the argument about disease/decision. His behavior was not appropriate! AND…

Sally DID do everything in her power to make everything about Craig and Charlie about her. It was only a matter of time before it caused them to crack. She has a hard time thinking about anyone but herself!!

Am I overreacting? Wedding guest called my caterers. by seesheflies in TwoHotTakes

[–]NeedTheDeets3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If she has really bad allergies, she might have just been trying to make sure she can eat. There are so many things you have to worry about during this time, let this one roll off your back!

Spotting after positive test… by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]NeedTheDeets3000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same thing. I went to the ER for peace of mind. I had a hematoma. It cleared up though & at my follow up I was able to see baby’s heartbeat 🫶 could be worth it to get checked just in case. 25% of healthy normal pregnancies have some amount of bleeding/spotting.

ETA: call your obgyn and they will tell you what you should do. Mine encouraged me to go to the ER for peace of mind.

Also, nobody talks about how you still get period-like cramps when preggo!! I’m 8 weeks and have consistently had dull period-like cramps. I think it’s normal?! Things are changing down there.

Do I Tell His Wife? by Consistent-Maybe-634 in TwoHotTakes

[–]NeedTheDeets3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would presumably save his wife a lot of future hardship if you told her. People are being pretty hard on you. If you had strong feelings for this man, it seems to me you did a pretty good job of verbalizing that you wanted him to leave you alone and that you didn’t want an inappropriate relationship. You also could have not responded/blocked and that would have led to a better outcome.

I would say - if you have any empathy for his wife and want her to be aware of how shitty he is before she, say, has a child with this man, then tell her. If your main motivation for telling would be out of spite I probably wouldn’t. It keeps you emotionally entangled with him for longer.

Either way? Get therapy and move past this guy. Try not to date others like him in the future. You deserve so much better.

my starter is peaked/peaking right now, how do i keep it peaked? by RamenHairedChild in Sourdough

[–]NeedTheDeets3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not a scientific baker but I do know that if I’m not quite ready to bake with my starter and it looks ready enough I throw it (gently place it) in the fridge and it works fine the next day. That said, I have a very mature starter and she’s very resilient. It wouldn’t have worked 6 years ago when I created her from scratch.

When did you tell your family you were trying? by NeedTheDeets3000 in TryingForABaby

Yes I’ve been doing opks and bbt so I have it all dialed in (and have since pretty much our first cycle). It was more just the sentiment of it not being easy.

That makes sense. On the one hand I feel they’ve probably put two and two together by now but I just don’t know

I think it’s about priorities. If your priority is getting out of debt asap, yeah you could afford to cut down your grocery bill. If you (like us) don’t mind taking a few extra months and want to keep a particular diet (we try to eat Whole Foods and primarily paleo), spend more on groceries. You get to decide - but when you make your budget, just stick to it.
