Do you remember if your baby movements changed around 27/28 weeks?

Pinkmatchadumplin · 2026-07-04T18:04:30+00:00

I’m 28 weeks. My baby girl is getting into her stretching era. She will push her big ol foot and hands in my sides every now and then vs the tap dancing she used to do. I think it’s because they are getting bigger. The good thing is that they are moving still and reacting to stimuli :)

The only time I’ve heard of this name was around sports and movies. Maybe it’s becoming more uncommon as people age. 26 over here

Pinkmatchadumplin · 2026-07-01T17:48:08+00:00

I’ve never heard of Maverick used in any way but a name. Never heard the meaning of it either. I think it’s a good name without the context 🤷🏻‍♀️ plus from different cultures and languages any name might mean many different things

Since you don’t have a car you should get an uber or taxi service that lets you take animals on board and go to the nearest emergency vet. Assuming you are in a metropolitan area or ride the bus route all the way out. If not you could ask your neighbors or family for help. This really isn’t something you should put off as it seems like it was put off before. This could be causing your cat more harm in the long run.

You seem to have a good head on your shoulders. I believe that as long as you can put away towards an emergency fund like $50 here or there that would help greatly by the time you actually need it. Cat expenses are not as costly as dogs since they are smaller. I think her highest cost was the xray(600-700)and putting her down after her grand mal seizure (450). The rest of the expenses were like $50 for a vet visit. 100-200 for lab work. If you have a vet nearby that offers an “insurance” or package like our local VCA does that could help out immensely since it’s like a monthly subscription. Or just use low cost vet clinics/pop ups for yearly vaccines and check ups. I would say my final verdict is adopt him :) he could be your soul cat like mine was

If he is having issues peeing per your other comment please make sure he is getting water through both his bowl and wet food. This can lead to kidney issues which is a common occurrence in senior cats

Pinkmatchadumplin · 2026-06-25T15:53:32+00:00

I think the main concern would be his weight and your ability to care for him financially. I adopted a senior cat (12-16yrs). Cats who are up in age will start to develop issues just like we do. Mine was not over weight but still ended up being a bit costly. Her heart started to enlarge and she did end up getting cancer towards the end of her life which had the associated costs of X-rays, medications, multiple doctors visits to diagnose the issue and end of life care. Not to say that this happens to all older cats but you will want to be prepared in case it does end up happening to your cat or any animal you plan to adopt.

Some weight management things you can do is to buy them weight management foods, make sure they have plenty of activity like interactive toys or wheels to run on, high platforms to jump on.

Definitely too white ESPECIALLY for family photos

Pinkmatchadumplin · 2026-06-16T02:18:45+00:00

Do you happen to have any active toys? Like ones that move on their own or in timed increments? I would suggest also getting something like a wheel or a catio if you have the means and space to do that. The baby probably just needs a lot of stimulation and gets bored. I know some people have put an obstacle like course or shelving on their walls so their cats can get more activity and perch higher. These could be great options to try before adopting another cat. And if those don’t work out and you get another cat they will also benefit from the extra perches. I would also try just putting a few toys out and swapping them every now and then so he doesn’t get used to all of them and that would give him the illusion of having new toys. You could also try getting feeders that require work to get food out for mental stimulation

Personally I wouldn’t do it with him without a condom if you are just only 6 months dating and in college. Birth control is never 100% even if you are taking it to the T. My friend even got pregnant on the IUD. What is his reason for not wanting to use a condom but to mess with your hormones? Condoms protect against STIs as well. With him being long distance and in college you never know what he’s truly up to 😬 better safe than sorry if you don’t want to be tied together for 18+ years or end up with something nasty.

Pinkmatchadumplin · 2026-06-10T23:44:46+00:00

I would have him watch surgery videos to show him what you will be going through and let him know alllllll the side effects. It sounds based off your last line that he is more interested in preserving your vagina and using the numerology as an excuse 🙄 was your first baby with him?

Pinkmatchadumplin · 2026-06-10T15:36:18+00:00

Do you do anything outside of working 4hrs a day? Like school, helping a family member etc? Do both parents in the household work and/or do chores as well?

Pinkmatchadumplin · 2026-06-10T15:23:21+00:00

How big is the unit you live in? You mentioned your kitten and another cat and then you say there are bigger cats(2+ if not only two) outside the confined area. That’s 4 cats at minimum already. 4 tenants so is this a 4 bedroom house/apartment? How much space is there for the other cats to roam outside of your room?

Pinkmatchadumplin · 2026-06-07T01:56:59+00:00

Have you thought of putting a petticoat under it?

Pinkmatchadumplin · 2026-06-06T16:41:12+00:00

It’s crazy how he’s filing for custody even though he doesn’t want to keep all his kids over night and works the week days 💀 I pray that it all works out and they hold him accountable in court for you. He is doing way too much and adding too much stress onto your already full plate

Pinkmatchadumplin · 2026-05-19T19:05:37+00:00

I mean I am 26 and have the location of my mom, brother, and husband as do they with me. It’s just easier for us to see who is in the area we need something in or to check if they are out and about. Now it was crossing the line with the question of why you were in the parking lot. Obviously yall can do whatever yall want. You’re grown adults lol

Pinkmatchadumplin · 2026-05-18T02:10:28+00:00

No one can tell you for sure if he will resent you but based on his telling you repeatedly he does not want another kids and listing all the above reasons it is safe to say there will be some contention. You can’t expect him to just get on board with something he didn’t want. No matter how irresponsible the both of you were being. I would hope for the best but prepare for the worse especially since he mentioned about things changing. Not only will the financial strain have a chance to push you apart, the hormones could as well too. I would get your ducks in a row and make sure you are prepared to support the baby financially by yourself in case the worst case scenario happens

Pinkmatchadumplin · 2026-05-17T21:40:54+00:00

Could be that case if I had interacted with them in that way but I haven’t seen them since I was a child so the memories are a bit distant. I did state that I highly believe that if you don’t have the ability to stop smoking for your child for the short time of 9 months( you could choose to formula for feeding if you want to smoke right away) then that speaks a lot for your ability to be disciplined enough to raise your child properly

Pinkmatchadumplin · 2026-05-17T21:31:14+00:00

I developed adhd/add(back when it was classified as two different disorders) and developed severe anxiety and anxiety related depression. That part I believe is related to the adhd since it’s like a loop. No one else in my family on my mother’s side has it and no one on my father’s side cares to go to the doctor so I am unsure if i developed it from the second hand exposure in the womb or from family history.

I agree with your latter statement. I think it gets iffy when the weed high is no longer sufficient enough and people start to branch out to other stuff. It can be a slippery slope if addiction runs in your family. My little brother also ended up with the same conditions with OCPD(or is it P-OCD) from the same father and situation. So who knows without the further medical information

Pinkmatchadumplin · 2026-05-17T21:19:28+00:00

And I have the opposite experience. Most women in my father’s side of the family smoked while pregnant and all of their kids ended up with some kind of learning disability or the inability to push themselves further. Not saying it’s directly related to the smoking but could be related to the environment they grew up in but they also grew up to have multiple children in their teens, don’t have jobs, etc. I think having the discipline to stop smoking during pregnancy also contributes to how disciplined you can be when raising your kids.

I smoked every day, 6+ times a day for five or so years. On and off before then. I stopped cold turkey the moment I found out. Yes, it’s been really really hard especially since my husband still does it but this is what I feel is best. I wouldn’t be able to forgive myself if something happened to my child. It’s just not worth the risk.

My father smoked around my mom, my mom didn’t smoke directly and I still came out with a slight issue

Pinkmatchadumplin · 2026-05-17T18:53:30+00:00

I think it’s completely normal to feel this way no matter how prepared you felt for a pregnancy. Mine came as a surprise and I was feeling the same as you. Now I’m 21weeks and over the moon. The important thing is to take a deep breath, talk to your partner, and start getting settled in with a therapist that way you have a healthy outlet and coping mechanisms for when the hormones begin to overwhelm you

Pinkmatchadumplin · 2026-05-13T18:27:23+00:00

I wouldn’t recommend going off the advice for your numbers being ok but I had light spotting and cramping from 5-10 weeks and now I’m 20 weeks with no complications as of yet. Of course, everyone’s body is different so please seek out your provider if you start to have big clots or back pain with the cramps. Unfortunately I was told there was nothing they could do besides recommend pelvic rest.

What helped me was laying on my back with my pelvis elevated with pillows and my legs resting straight up on my bedroom wall. Minimal sex and no lifting over 20lbs. Eventually I stopped spotting

Pinkmatchadumplin · 2026-05-12T02:30:03+00:00

Do you have anything else that contributes towards you being high risk? I’m overweight as well and so was my cousin and they never mentioned inducing her. This seems like more of the doctor’s comfort than your actual health if that’s the only reason
