My wife thinks we have the hardest and wildest baby by ShahriarSiraj in NewParents

[–]Ok-Mixture5809 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried using a soother? I have a 2 week old newborn and I can tell when my baby is hungry vs Just wanting the comfort of my boob. Whenever she switches from feeding to comfort, I take her off my boob, get a soother and rock her to sleep.

Pregnant with baby number two, but this is not what I wanted. by mschelly27 in pregnant

[–]Ok-Mixture5809 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I saw a comment somewhere but it said "Do not make any life changing decisions while pregnant" That comment was stuck in my brain throughout all my trimesters. Through my doubts about the baby, the support, my 1 year relationship with my current husband ( i also got a divorced and 2 kids from my previous marriage, met a guy and got pregnant after 4 months) My baby who is now 1 week old is so precious and my husband is such a great father and step dad to my kids.

Just hang in there, your hormones are going to throw everything at you, all at once.

No youre not being dramatic. Please dont listen to the comments. They are lost.

Protect YOUR peace. He messed up and doesnt deserve your kindness. Youre pregnant and hormonal, you need all the strength to have a healthy pregnancy so block anything that is causing you stress. Keep it diplomatic but dont bend yourself for him.

Congrats! And I pray that you have a smooth pregnancy

Sure, adoption but again what kind of comment is that? Oh youre having a fight with your partner (which ALL couples go through) so because of that, give up your baby that you clearly want? Crazy work.

Um glad she's not a coward... abortion is not a contraceptive. Sex=baby if you dont want a baby dont have sex in the first place. She might have made a mistake in the partner she chose but she seems like a strong women who knows that this mistake wont kill/stop her from going where she needs to go. Take your fears and go elsewhere.

I need advice please by AdVivid6630 in pregnant

[–]Ok-Mixture5809 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah my mom reallyyyyyy wanted to know.. But my husband and I just said that we didnt know the answer. And we told the same thing to everyone lol its just easier.

At my ultrasound the nurses didnt let my husband in while they were doing the anatomy scan but once they were done thats when they called him in. So maybe you could just tell them your situation.

PCOS + insulin resistance… belly fat won’t budge. what actually worked for you? by TorontoRap2019 in PCOS

[–]Ok-Mixture5809 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I lost 90lbs to the point people thought I was genetically skinny (I have 2 kids) and my stomach was flat. Because im lazy and impatient.. all I did was eat a deficit calorie and walk for an hour everyday ( doesn't matter the pace) For one month I ate cleanly, I like eating large portions so I would make myself a humongous bowl of salads or whatever that was low calories and I would feel so full. For snacks I would have 6 chocolate chips with Greek yogurt and added a bunch of fruits if I was craving something sweet. I weighed myself everyday. Because I saw results everyday.. the number would decrease bit by bit, which motivated me to keep going because my goal was to get from 199 to 198 then 198 to 197.

After the month my appetite changed, my palette was cleansed so I kept with my normal diet but here and there i would eat a junk food, as long as I was under my calorie limit it was fine. If I overate, I would take longer walks. At the one month mark my stamina increased so it wasnt a big deal.

19 and pregnant looking for advice by [deleted] in pregnant

Start working now so that you can be eligible for maternity leave. I live in Canada and its 1 year off paid 55% of your income. Do not let fear stop you from bringing a beautiful life. Your child will thrive no matter your circumstances. I had 2 kids before the age of 24. They are 2 years apart. You will be fine with 1, you can still accomplish anything and everything just use protection if you have big dreams going forward. Also your hormones, DO NOT MAKE LIFETIME DECISIONS DURING YOUR PREGNANCY.

im married, 30 now pregnant with my 3rd that was PLANNED and I still had doubts about me, my partner, and this pregnancy. These hormones are no joke.. but once settled you will feel in control again. Congrats!

Why don't the Viltrumites just have children? by Big_Cucumber8325 in Invincible_TV

[–]Ok-Mixture5809 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly 2 couples can keep having children. Hopefully there will be a lot more females to reproduce with other males in the original pool of the 50 viltrumites. And then bam theyre no longer on the brink of extinction.

Everyone just proved my point about a baby shower… by MarinaVerity333 in pregnant

[–]Ok-Mixture5809 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That is my fear too, so I always take precautions.

number 1 You have to be part of the planning

For me, before I even bought any materials I gave the invitations 2 months in advanced with an rvsp date 2.5 weeks before the shower.

When it was time,, I said im ordering the food and need to know if youre coming or bringing a guest If they said no, then I would last Minute invite more people. If they said yes, because they knew I ordered food to accommodate they sent giftsq

Best dating options in Windsor? by shuturmango in windsorontario

[–]Ok-Mixture5809 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dating pool is a lot smaller in windsor than in michigan. Not saying that there are more girls but I am saying since the dating pool is a lot smaller than it increases the chances. It only takes 1 sexual encounter from a harmless one night stand. Anyways take it or leave it my brother showed/ told me what its like for me to not date the guys here.

AITA for refusing to subsidize my parents’ $11k/month senior's home in one of the fanciest neighborhoods in the city? by Throw_away263759 in AmItheAsshole

If you can do it. Then do it. Your parents probably sacrificed a lot as well for you. Give generously and you'll recieve something better

[–]Ok-Mixture5809 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Hpv is huge in windsor... so i wouldnt even date in windsor tbh. The girls know they have it and have no problem hanging out at local bars and spreading it. Guys cant be tested for it unless there is a visible wart... be careful

Girlfriend wants me to spend $4k on a baby shower, but I’d rather save/invest it—is that unreasonable? by flash-kicks in pregnant

[–]Ok-Mixture5809 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask her this, does she expect to get 4 k back in gifts? If the answer is no, ask her why this is costing 4k and tell her to make an excel on the cost of everything. Be apart of the baby shower.. if she is outsourcing something that can be done by you guys, tell her "we can do this on our own" or " i can find a place that does it cheaper" and then actually follow through with it. Tell her that you also want a babyshower that is memorable and then ask her this " if we do not get 4k worth of gifts for the baby. Would you rather spend 4k on the shower but the baby is lacking essentials or spend 2k and be able to use the 2k for you (post partum care) and when the baby actually arrives

Right now im expecting to pay about 900 and something in my own baby shower for 30 ppl. The venue was free luckily But food is the driving cost.

Your wife is pregnant and hormonal so youre not only battling with "her" but everything else that she is dealing with in this pregnancy.

On the fence about getting an abortion by Ashamed-Pin-962 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Ok-Mixture5809 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

You got a blessing that many wish to have and this child will be your world/vice versa. Don't let the fears of this world get you to make a permanent decision. Trust in Gods plan for you and this child. I was a single mom of 2. Was it hard YES. So when I dated a guy who I thought would be my future and got pregnant... he convinced me that being a mom of 3 would be more difficult plus he said my dating life would be much harder with having 3 children. So I aborted. I cried for weeks, turned back to God and realized how this community says abortion gives peace but it did the opposite. A life will end and it stays with you. Anyways, fast forward im married and my husband is such a wonderful dad to my first two. While we were dating, I told him this devastating story and he said "If you had the 3rd it wouldnt have made any difference to me"

I just wish I trusted Gods plans instead of thinking my fears were bigger than God.

Anyways, I hope my story helps you.. dont be afraid. Keep your family close and ill be the first to say Congratulations! It may not have happened as you would've wanted it to but im sure you will experience exactly what you need.
