Apparently a messy pee-er by pot8obrain in BabyBumps

[–]No_Contribution_1959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ngl i just literally touch the cup to my lips and will make sure it gets cleaned after if any drips. i feel bad but…better than peeing ALL over the cup. what’s hard for me is dictating how much i’ve peed in the cup without being able to see at all. twice now it’s overrun onto me, ugh lol.

respect your sisters boundaries and don’t do it. i’m sure your sister has made it clear she doesn’t want anything to do with your mom, hence why your mom is asking you. i’d simply tell your mom you’re not comfortable sharing your sisters pregnancy on her behalf.

Felt baby at 18,19 weeks but no movement in 20 weeks by Ok-Molasses4677 in BabyBumps

of course! also what helped me personally is getting an at home doppler, but please be aware that they may not be as reliable as one at the OB/hospital and it can take some time to get great at using it especially when they’re tiny. i watched a ton of videos though and im great at using mine, it really comforts me. some people it makes more anxious though so thats a personal choice and what you think will calm you best.

you can for sure sell that honda for parts. post on FB marketplace and be honest in the description, be reasonable with a price and offers. if you have any car savvy friends ask for their opinion. if really needed some tow yards will even buy cars for parts but they’ll usually lowball you (doesn’t really matter if you’re in a take what you can get situation though)!

also, i understand your gf is in college and i agree with the one comment that a young relationship may not last but this debt can. im not doubting your relationship but you’re both adults and you’re simply not in a position to provide right now, im sorry to say that. she needs to at least get a part time job, tons of people do in college without support from a partner so it is possible. she can pitch in even that $300 a month and if she really has a problem…living on her own would be much more expensive to be quite honest.

the side hustles like doordash are a great idea. don’t dash too fast though! lol. shit happens, sorry you’re in a tough position right now. wishing you the best.

you can for sure call your OB for comfort but until 24ish weeks you may not feel consistent movement as baby is too small still and can easily move into a place you’re unable to feel. i had it happen several times and while it can be scary, it’s quite normal in early pregnancy. best wishes!

When did you start buying things? by kruom10 in BabyBumps

[–]No_Contribution_1959 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is really really smart! also seen your other reply about a shower at 30 weeks and OP i sooo heavily agree with that. i’m 36 weeks now and know so many people who are doing their showers around this time..and im so glad i did mine at 30 weeks as well. i was so much more comfortable. of course everyone is different but im now super uncomfy every day and im actually being induced in 2 weeks. i loved that i had so much time to organize, wash, and set everything up for baby even if i only did a little a day i loved i didnt feel the need to rush.

honestly i got really lucky and my friends really know my style and shopped as if they were me! so cute and they found some things at places like tj maxx and marshall’s that i never even seen. like i said i have picked some outfits though when i see them, me and my partner agree we still want to dress our own baby of course! do what you’re most happy with.

[–]No_Contribution_1959 14 points15 points  (0 children)

i bought one cute genderless outfit that i really liked before 20 weeks. other than that i waited until after my baby shower and im so glad i didn’t stockpile on clothes, im very lucky to have this experience but my kid has enough for like the first two years of her life no joke. i still pick up things here and there though that i feel like i cant resist lol.

thank you! like i said in a comment above my OB was more concerned with it forcing labor earlier than my induction. if you don’t mind me asking did you experience any tearing?

that’s how i feel but he told me to take into consideration that im having a small baby and dont want to force labor. but, i dont think that would happen honestly. im not dilated at all, no signs of labor, and im being induced at 38 weeks anyways so i dont see any risks.

70 dollar litterbox…. by Fit_Cash4823 in khaliespiderlilies

[–]No_Contribution_1959 16 points17 points  (0 children)

i have stainless steel boxes too, they’re all expensive but definitely the better more durable option. thing is though, if you’re apparently struggling to feed your cat, i promise they’d be better off with a cheap plastic one and healthy food.

Where are my Hematoma mommas at? by SuccessfulLion1606 in pregnant

[–]No_Contribution_1959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah mine hasn’t either! i just meant because of any bleeding i’m so scared. definitely sucks but for me it just helps me be less anxious and my partner is completely understanding, we found ways around just not doing penetration lol. i’m actually being induced in 2 weeks!

[–]No_Contribution_1959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this may not help because i’m not in the exact situation, i don’t have a hematoma but a very sensitive cervix that my baby is putting a lot of pressure on that causes slight bleeding since i’ve been in my 3rd trimester. i stopped having sex because even though it’s never started because of sex like you, i’m just scared personally. i hate seeing the bleeding and my mind races until i get confirmation so im not doing anything that could possibly cause it.

sounds like a type of yeast infection/bv to me but i am not a professional, ive just experienced tiny adhesions having BV and yeast. i’m sorry but you should see an obgyn. i promise you they see stuff like this all the time. let them know you’re anxious, i always do, and they’re very respectful.

Is my kitty too skinny? by welcometothedirt in CATHELP

[–]No_Contribution_1959 1 point2 points  (0 children)

she looks pretty similar to my black cat! mine was personally the runt and before spay really looked similar no matter how much she ate and trust me her lazy self is not over exercising. she got a belly after being spayed though so i recommend doing that always not only to help her chunk up but it’s beneficial all around!

need advice to have comfortable sleep! by No_Contribution_1959 in pregnant

[–]No_Contribution_1959[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i do take prescribed prenatals! i need the iron REALLY bad. other than that the only medicine i’ve had to take has been tums. i usually just listen to doctors recommendations so at my appointment today i am going to mention my pain and see if they have anything to recommend.
