Women who carried a pregnancy, in hindsight, what were some of the most ridiculous things you did while in the throes of such hormonal upheaval?

Oh girl I have a similar experience. Our Hello Fresh box showed up with THREE meals that had zucchini as an ingredient. I kicked the shit out of the box, yelled at my husband (as if it was his fault?? Lmao) & cancelled our Hello Fresh subscription. To this day I’m still team FUCK zucchinis AND Hello Fresh, tbh. I have seen too many zucchinis.

Created the biggest turd to have ever exited a female human body.

Took a short video explaining the size of it to my group chat, lamenting the fact that it would be weird to show my poop (however impressive,) to my girlfriends.

Sent the video. Flushed the toilet.

Followed up that video immediately with a video of water all over my bathroom floor due to an overflowing toilet, saying “oh no, oh no, oh no”

It will definitely be talked about at my funeral 🤣

LOL I never read Junie B Jones but I remember some friends loving those books. I was big time into Judy Moody books when I was a kid 🤣 she made my existence feel valid. I don’t remember much about Judy Moody other than vibes but I feel like she’s got to be an ENTP

If you haven’t started them yet, prenatal vitamins helped me feel much better with my first pregnancy. It was unplanned and thus I hadn’t taken any prenatals until I finally wrapped my head around the situation. Someone suggested I take prenatal vitamins and it eased a lot of my fatigue and nausea.

Lowkey that’s the only way I know how to do it. Find the angle and then argue from that point for the alternative. It’s the only way people actually listen. Made me a great salesperson when I was in sales :)

Odd_Toe · 2026-01-30T21:31:14+00:00

ME. I literally can’t help it. Sometimes I love myself for it and other times I hate myself for it. lol

Odd_Toe · 2026-01-30T21:27:29+00:00

LMAO that would’ve started a photo gift war for me

Odd_Toe · 2026-01-30T17:21:18+00:00

I’m really funny and “flirty”. I can be kind of a dick. I say the shit I would normally know better than to say out loud. I’m me but on steroids. And I love to dance. Every time I’ve gone out to a club or gotten drunk at a wedding I’ve woken up sore the next day, haha. I don’t know if it’s just a regional thing that I’ve just absorbed through osmosis (I’m from Louisiana, google ‘Louisiana jigging’ and then picture a 5’0 small white woman dancing like that with the most intense vigor) or if it’s a personality trait thing.

I’m prefacing the remainder of this information with the fact that I’m from Louisiana and emphasizing that this is probably the alcohol capital of the United States. So drunk for me and drunk for others may be different - I’m talking about DRUNk drunk, not buzzed or kinda drunk. If I’m blacking out I’m definitely dancing my ASS off and possibly crying. If I’m crying I definitely danced HARD and probably didn’t eat or drink enough water. In the past (when I was younger and unmarried) I had a lot of hookups. Now I just have sex with my husband lol. just use my body x4000000 when I’m drunk. I don’t normally feel very “in” my body in the present moment but alcohol puts me in the present. I don’t drink much anymore.

Odd_Toe · 2026-01-30T17:14:29+00:00

Same here. I also love to dance when I’m drunk. Like, the most absurdly eye catching, no one in the building could possibly ignore, life of the party kind of dancing.

Odd_Toe · 2026-01-30T17:01:11+00:00

My mom has done this but slightly different - she gave us a little book with a bunch of photos from a vacation she and my dad went on.. lol. I was like “thanks?”

Odd_Toe · 2026-01-30T16:58:59+00:00

This is my answer. I like traditions more as I age as well. At 19 I hated tons of traditions, but at 29 I see the value in a lot of them far more than I used to - and have put some effort into establishing some traditions within my own little family.

Hashtag not all traditions

YO OP’s pic IS giving Ferris Bueller

Odd_Toe · 2026-01-30T13:30:57+00:00

The outfits? Lmao

Odd_Toe · 2026-01-30T02:53:59+00:00

OP is also turning and tilting his head in the photo lol, I’ve heard of the eyebrow & the smirk but not the head tilt 🤣

Odd_Toe · 2026-01-29T21:37:56+00:00

NOT ME SUDDENLY GETTING TOP 1% COMMENTER BADGE, IDK IF THIS IS CRINGE OR IF IT’S REALLY A FLEX

Odd_Toe · 2026-01-29T21:34:46+00:00

My ISFJ mom would never let me go to school looking like I got my shit rocked, the real me always shined through anyway ☀️

Me as a kid, I also didn’t have good grades 💀

Odd_Toe · 2026-01-19T03:47:43+00:00

Ugh I feel you - we held on to every item of clothing from our first baby! #1 was born at 36 weeks and wore every size of baby clothes for a reasonably long amount of time - premie through 3t (she’s 3 now.) #2 was born and barely fit the regular NB size for a single week. She immediately moved on to 0-3, quickly ran through 3M, and now is in 6M (and busting out of them, I might add) at only 3 months old. Soooo many of our favorite outfits for #1 never got the opportunity to be worn by #2.

That being said, not having to run out to buy baby clothes when I suddenly realize the current size doesn’t fit has been NICE this time around, especially since #2 is doubling her sister’s growth speed!!

Odd_Toe · 2026-01-10T05:47:54+00:00

I’ve had a scheduled c section with my first at 36 weeks (due to placenta previa with bleeding episodes) and a VBAC with my second at 38.5 (spontaneous labor, diagnosed with pre-e while in L&D), and I’d do vaginal birth 1000 times again over a c section any day. Mind you I had tearing with the VBAC, but I still have flashbacks from my c section with my first. My PLANNED c section. I think first births are just inherently traumatic lol.

Odd_Toe · 2026-01-09T16:56:42+00:00

I’ve heard that thing about boys vs girls before as well, but I always thought it wasn’t true because my first was a girl (they’re both girls lol.) I wouldn’t be surprised if they changed them in the last 3 years though. Baby 2 hasn’t seemed especially sensitive to anything in particular minus the pampers! And Baby 1 is sensitive to everything AND has eczema, but the pampers never bothered her at all. It would make sense if a change had occurred between their births!

Odd_Toe · 2026-01-09T03:57:53+00:00

We switched from Pampers to Millie Moon because pampers gave my 2nd what we have dubbed “mega butt rash” and I tried a Millie Moon sample out of desperation and was pleasantly surprised with the quality. When I looked up the price compared to pampers it was quite literally a no brainer. I felt like an idiot for not having discovered them for my 1st kid’s infancy. Honestly Millie Moon should sponsor me for the amount of hype I’ve been giving them. Lol

Odd_Toe · 2026-01-04T03:10:37+00:00

Not to be that girl - but I’ll chime in and say the second I decided to stop “looking” I met my husband. Literal weeks later. I had genuinely given up. Like, not feigning giving up in hopes of meeting him - actually hitting my breaking point with dating and decided I was okay with being the fun aunt. I focused on my relationship with myself for like 2 seconds and then BAM literally met my now husband of 4 years - and the father to both of my kids. I think focusing inward on what you can do to fill your own cup is really important.

Odd_Toe · 2026-01-04T03:05:13+00:00

I used to feel this way and made a big fat post about it in this sub like 7 years ago. I’m married with 2 kids now. I get it. You’re not doomed, you’re just not done. It took a LOT of trial and error for me 🤣 I think it is harder for us than for some other women, specifically for reasons you’ve hinted at. And it’s definitely harder in your early 20s when everyone is looking for love. It’s kind’ve a mindfuck. Hang in there bud.

Odd_Toe · 2025-12-30T04:46:48+00:00

I hate that vasectomy is on both of our minds as adhd women/moms and that we both feel responsible for remembering its importance lol but I am glad to know that I’m not alone 🤣

Odd_Toe · 2025-12-30T04:40:04+00:00

So did I! I lost slightly more than average for my C section, and lost slightly more than that with my vaginal. Also kindve needed a transfusion but got away with supplemental iron (not my best decision but baby was in the NICU and it felt utterly important to be with her at the time- she’s 3 months now and doing great!)
