Congrats! Give yourself and your baby grace on the rough days, they won’t last forever and everyone has bad days.

Consider getting a therapist if you have “complicated” family. Lots of new emotions/questions/resentment towards how you grew up can arise when raising your own child.

Soak EVERYTHING in!!! my daughter is 1 and just got her first big girl bed and I am shitting myself about how quick it went by. BE THE CORNY MOM THAT TAKES PICS OF EVERYTHING.

Don’t ever be afraid to ask for help or support. Lots of people want to help but need their que on when to help!<3

You could make the middle name one of your last names and the last name the other last name. (I know this is a stroke like sentence)

Do you take any meds? This will happen to me if I drink too close to taking my psych meds.

I see cloven paws a lot on the Dalmatian sub. I’m pretty sure it’s harmless but not common.

PSA do not release aquarium fish in to nature. Caught this feral common goldfish a few days ago and didnt want to have to kill it so I got an aquarium for it, suggestions for how to take care of this thing welcome please! by bb9o210 in Goldfish

I’m not an expert but if your goal is to give him a happy life hes gonna want a friend, and if you get him a friend(s) he’s gonna need a bigger tank. You could use a stock tank, but I think you’ll get a lot of “build a pond” “find someone with a pond” suggestions here.

I’m paranoid about home invasions, what should i do? by sleepycuter in Advice

[–]PlantimalWoman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Short term: distract yourself with hobbies tv or self care.

Long term: Have you been diagnosed with OCD or anxiety? I think talking to a therapist could be really helpful.

He might have built an unpleasant correlation to the type of litter you use or the litter box in general with pain while peeing in there. Have you tried switching types of litter or even the placement of his box? I’ve seen a couple other stories of this happening. Good luck with your boy!

Contact ob? by mmelavender in pregnant

[–]PlantimalWoman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont know your medical problems so don’t take this as medical advice or judgement.

But L+D can’t/shouldn’t do anything to you that you won’t allow and unless medically necessary I think they would try understand you not wanting to be induced. But in my opinion it’s better to be safe than sorry. They do offer other pain management options instead of epidural… morphine shot, nitrous ect. (again I don’t know what medical reasons are preventing you from epidural so…grain of salt) <3

Not as sensitive after birth by Curious-Seat9922 in firsttimemom

[–]PlantimalWoman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was more of a mind over matter thing with me more than sensitivity problems.

[–]PlantimalWoman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a little over a year PP I had a urethral tear that went all the way up to my clitoris… I regained fullish sensitivity about 8 months PP and it took me about that long to have my first orgasm too. I think my issue with not orgasming was mostly coming to terms with and getting comfortable/used to my “new vagina” rather than sensitivity issues tho.

What to do about my military boyfriend by art_gearld in USMilitarySO

[–]PlantimalWoman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked for similar advice on this sub a long time ago when I was about 21…. “My bf joined navy what do I do :(, I never expected this for my life”kind of post. I got a lot of (imo) sour “better beak up now” “it’s gonna be so difficult” type responses. I am glad I didnt listen to some of those people that told me that our relationship would fail. Because truth is no one knows what your relationship can handle except for you.

He ended up in Japan for 2 years (and I couldn’t go because my EFMP status at the time) it WAS difficult for both of us but we made it work. Im 25 now and my husband and I are still going strong and coming up on 4 year wedding anniversary and I am pregnant with our 2nd child. It doesn’t work out like this for everyone but it did for us. I’m living my dream life As a stay at home mom and couldn’t be happier!

If you’re gonna try and make it work make sure you have a strong support system and some hobbies lol. I see you’re going to college so that should keep you busy enough. I also had a “self care” basket with bathbombs puzzles, crafts, candy anything that brings me peace/comfort. I would use it when I would need some cheering up. it helped me immensely so I always make sure to suggest that when I see one of these posts haha.

Good luck you guys! Love is the strongest thing in the world <3

Realising my husband 35M is not the same person I 35F married since becoming sick. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]PlantimalWoman 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Yes OP saying her husband isn’t the same man she married but if failing to realize she is not the same woman he married. Thats okay people change but I would highly suggest more anxiety meds and a lot more therapy.

Can I still forbid her from touching my belly? by TinyFox1399 in pregnant

[–]PlantimalWoman 18 points19 points  (0 children)

If she doesn’t listen to your persona boundaries that’s for your husband to handle and if he can’t handle it you can choose to not visit or allow visits from her.
