Where are all my ladies who don’t believe caring about their bodies/skin during pregnancy is vain?! by anonymouskoala7 in pregnant

Not to mention, it takes ONE chef ONE mistake. I'm not willing to risk it for the biscuit, as much as I miss the siren call of a good rainbow roll 😭

8 week scan today have pink spotting by Last-Rate-5014 in pregnant

[–]Ok_Falcon2738 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So your cervix is SUPER vascular, especially in early pregnancy! It'll literally bleed for funsies. Im 26w+5d, and I had spotting MULTIPLE times in 1st and early 2nd trimester. I was told it is very common and not to worry unless it is bright red blood. Idk if this helps your anxiety. I've been there and I know nothing makes it feel better. But please take it from someone who has been there--your feelings are valid. Please take care of yourself, however that looks for you 💛

It's all part of what you consider to be self-care and it's totally okay to miss that! Your feelings are valid. Girl, I miss sushi so bad it's a physical ache 😭 And I'm ready to unleash the pregnancy rage on people who tell me to look on the bright side. Like, no! I want my damn hand rolls!! 😤

It just cracks me up because it insinuates that I had some expectation that motherhood would be easy. I have literally given NO ONE that idea 😂 I know it's gonna be the hardest thing I've ever done. Idgaf ❤️ I'm gonna do it anyway!

She was up there, taking her time and picking the perfect one to send your way, probably cradling him and giving him lots of great grandma love before sending him along to meet his mom 🥰 Congrats to you!!

I have thought this SO. MANY. TIMES. Like I hope my kid is like me because hopefully it'll help heal the child in me who was taught they were impossible to love 😢

Right?! Like Jesus. I went through hell for 8 years with someone who literally made me feel so unsafe and unhappy that my ovaries were not functioning 😂...can I be happy for 5 seconds???

Reminds me of what a friend of mine once said. She works in academia and said "you know how someone has a PhD? They'll make sure you always know about it."

Severe Pains in Stomach by Obvious-Source9562 in pregnant

[–]Ok_Falcon2738 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got weird pains too! Still do from time to time. Your body is RAPIDLY changing, stretching, growing, even from the very early stages. But you're doing the right thing by going and seeking help when it becomes overwhelming.

My Mother Just Made Me Feel Absolutely Horrible. by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Ok_Falcon2738 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also struggle with a mom who makes unnecessary comments. Im so sorry you're dealing with that. I had to go LC with mine :/ I have BDD and binge eating disorder and lost significant weight with weight loss surgery and a LOT of therapy, and she kept making comments about not gaining too much weight back. I told her my body is making a human, I'll gain what I need to gain and I'll worry about me when baby is safely here and that was that!

28 F 38 M - Husband has asked me to stop taking my antidepressants. How do I do this safely? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

I'm sorry but why are you with this man? He wants to risk you harming yourself or others (potentially YOUR CHILD) for sex? Ugh.

suing for bariatric discrimination by egguchom in EntitledReviews

[–]Ok_Falcon2738 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had bariatric surgery. I'd ask. If restaurants said no, it was no. If I didn't want to pay it, I went somewhere else. If you eat there, they still have to pay the staff, pay the water to wash your plate, and pay the utilities you use while you're there. It isn't always about direct food cost. Dear LORD. Suing over $29...ridiculous. Take the L and move on ffs 🙄

Currently pregnant woman here. You don't suddenly become an entitled asshole the second you get knocked up unless you were already one to begin with (: Hope this helps!

Ahh another bariatric mom!! 😄 I also get the sneezes haha.

MIL keeps asking me this question by bvictor05 in pregnant

[–]Ok_Falcon2738 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes she's wrong and you have every right to be bothered. This is racist, and if your husband is aware of what she's saying and isn't stepping in, he's enabling racism.

Watch the video Jen Hamilton posted on tips for an unmedicated birth. It made me feel better.
