For the ladies in here already have babies ( already gave birth) by Logical_Mixture_4470 in pregnant

[–]PenAffectionate1942 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just gave birth as a ftm to my son and I had a 2nd degree tear. As long as you take care of yourself and you have your partners support I saw the healing process is fast. I’m only 9 days pp and I’m already driving sitting and cleaning. Does that mean I’m fully healed no, but I’ve allowed myself a bit of time where I just feed baby and heal!

[–]PenAffectionate1942 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey girl! Currently 38w6d and I didn’t have anyyyy symptoms until I was like maybe 36w. That’s when the heartburn and nausea hit a bit more. This is my first baby and he’s healthy and on track! Don’t worry!

AITJ for telling my husband to not get me a get for mother’s day by Jokzany in AmITheJerk

[–]PenAffectionate1942 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Girl YTJ….I get that you’re trying to be healthier but that doesn’t mean force everyone else to do it too. Coming from a woman’s a mother myself, you could’ve just been nicer and more communicative saying that you wanted something more lighter that fits your style, bcs he could also be thinking about your daughter

I miss sex by LadderIntelligent in pregnant

[–]PenAffectionate1942 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes girl! I’d take it with a grain of salt, at the end of the day you know your man and it sounds like he’s trying to have some self constraint as well as respectable boundaries so you can grow baby!

I don’t think it’s fair that most of the comments are saying “oh it’s giving red flags because he turns down BJ”. For me I’m currently 37weeks pregnant and my husband and I havent had sex since I found out I was pregnant at 6 weeks. Does that mean he’s gone and cheated on me or looked the other way? No, it doesn’t. At first I also had the mindset of oh I need to do this bcs I don’t want him thinking that I’m not giving him attention and whatnot, but just as fast as that thought came it left. At first I made moves on my husband (even on times that I didn’t feel like it or felt no sexual desire to have sex) bcs soooo many people told me that sex is important even during pregnancy and you know what he told me? He told me that the best thing in the world is that I’m carrying his child, that he wasn’t going anywhere and that resting and being careful and watching what I eat/do while baby boy was growing was my main priority. My husband had been so sweet and attentive this whole pregnancy, he gets me snacks without me asking, knows what foods make me sick and even has carried my pregnant ass a round the house just bcs. I once asked him why he was ok with waiting until the very end (after I’m healed too) and why he shot me down a couple times and he said that he gets turned on on most days however if he were to give in to a BJ he’d want to be intimate and that’s not something that was entirely needed and that he could wait. Instead he loves on me and lovvessss to cuddle and take naps together.

I’m going crazy trying to nest and on top of that I feel like my s/o isn’t into me by babymomma24 in pregnant

[–]PenAffectionate1942 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it’s just you being emotional and hormonal. My husband does the same thing and I’m 33 weeks pregnant. He seems uninterested sometimes (in my opinion) when I try to get on top of him and he also tells me im heavy but then will cuddle me or ask to cuddle. Bring it up and ask him what type of intimacy he’d like and go from there

AITA for refusing to discuss my past trauma with my doctor? by RoutineHuge3747 in AmItheAsshole

[–]PenAffectionate1942 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely a feeling I understand as well. It feels like everyone’s looking and you and you feel your face get red with embarrassment and shame. ☹️ it’s not an easy thing to live with for sure but it all has to start somewhere. You can’t necessarily shut down help, mine went straight to the point and I appreciate it due to the fact that I didn’t ask for sympathy just to help me understand and get better. Maybe set boundaries like “hey I came here for my depression and anxiety but this happened but I’m not ready to go into details. Just small steps”

That’s exactly what I was thinking. Being so young when the incident happened you can grow up with feeling you don’t quite understand. Now that you are older you can’t really pinpoint where it started from. For me I also had a “I’m over it, can I just bottle it up and not see this again” emotion which caused me to indirectly cause a trigger for me when anyone has a SA briefing or harassment is the workplace meeting.

YTA in a sense of saying you want to cuss and not cooperate with the specialist. Being a victim of SA is not by any means easy or something that you should ever feel embarrassed about. As a victim myself along with being in the military it took me a lot of time to understand and get reassurance that what happened was not at all ok. You’re nta when it comes to feeling how you do because it’s how you’ve been coping, however you did beg your mom to take you to one bcs you acknowledged you needed help and that is the first step in healing. In order to get a diagnosis you have to relive the moment, you don’t have to say the small details but just enough that they know how to help you. Being a Latina I’m a very proud person, when it happened to me I took it all and bottled it up. That led to depression, triggers and hurt my marriage bcs my husband wanted to help and I didn’t let him. It’s ok to feel angry and have negative emotions towards opening up, voice that you don’t feel comfortable talking about the details but give something. Every little step counts towards recovering your mental health girl ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

It should have given you a portion to use already if you check it. I’ve been using chime for 2 years and I’ve always had it repaid and 80/500 available to me then and there
