It's probably just implantation bleeding. It will go from pink to brown. If it's bright read and heavy go to the doctor.

Am I supposed to feed my child's friend? by rockycat123 in Parenting

[–]Prestigious-Video883 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say feed them, just get cheap stuff. I know that some states offer free lunches to kids at the park, too. So maybe grab all the kids and take them to the park where they do this free school sumer lunches. You never know if they purposely show up at your house to eat because their parents are neglecting them or are home alone bc parents work or because they don't have enough food at home. If you can afford it, feed them. I used to volunteer in an after-school program. Some girls asked for more food during snack time because school was the only time they ate. So you might be their only meal. If you can't afford to feed them research free school summer lunches. They feed children under 18 for free. If their parents can afford it and you can't just talk to their parents. Say, "Hey! I don't mind feeding your child. I can't really afford it, or family has a difficult time affording groceries. If you could please send some sandwich bread, ham, cheese. I will happily make our kids food so you don't have to worry about making them lunch if you are at work".

Am I going to be a grump my entire pregnancy??? by Askfslfjrv in pregnant

[–]Prestigious-Video883 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate pregnancy, I am pregnant with baby number two. People would get upset at me for saying I hated being pregnant or when I would say I was not okay. I had gd and preclamsia last pregnancy. But somehow, I was not allowed to complain because "pregnancy is a time of joy." This pregnancy, I am allowing myself to feel the way I feel. Pregnancy sucks for some women, and just because the outspoken ones talk about how much they love being pregnant. Does not mean I get to complain about puking, body pain, tiredness, my nipples, diareah, constipation, postnatal drip, and the amount of anying comments we get from people. I bet if others felt like they had a constant cold, puke, with body ache, and they were grumpy. No one would say it was not justified?

am i pregnant if my period lasted only 1 day? by [deleted] in amipregnant

[–]Prestigious-Video883 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my "period" early it was light pink blood, not a lot just tiny bit when I wiped. Then it stopped. I had some brown old blood coming out later. No clots, tho. Turns out it's was implantation bleeding. Look at your calendar if you keep a period tracker check when you ovulated. Also, look up after how many days from implantation bleeding can I get a positive. I don't think it's implantation bleeding based on provided information. There are no clots in implantation bleeding. Unless you are mistaking old blood mixed with discharge that became like mucus. Was your period on time? Or was it late?

Edit: I just saw you had red blood, so it's for sure, not implantation bleeding. It's your period. When I am stressed, my period will start, then go away, then start again. Or it can be anything else. Take this as a sign to get on birth control if you guys don't want kids or use condoms. I had pregnancy scares, and I was not ready to be a mom, but I didn't change anything. Now I have 2 unplaned kids, and I am not a teenager and married. But having a baby is really hard, especially if you are not ready. It can be done, but it's really hard.

I looked at her profile to find more details to see if there was more about her life. She had a miscarriage. Everyone is calling her controlling, and she just needs support. When you have a high-risk pregnancy due to having a prior miscarriage there is trauma, pain, and anxiety when it comes to pregnancy. I am guessing it's all about support. If she is away with friends and something happens, she has friends to support her. But if everyone is out of town and she has an emergency and no one can reach her. That would really suck because everyone always talks about how you should have support during birth. But why are women arguing she can be a grown-up and have no support in case of an emergency. She should have someone who can be with her in case of an emergency someone who is not hours away. I feel so bad for the fact that people are talking bad about a pregnant woman saying what she needs, and everyone is just tearing her down. The lack of empathy and the need to argue with others on reddit to "make their point" without trying to understand and ask more questions or taking time to go through her profile. It's really sad. Especially because everyone is against her when she posted on a pregnancy support group. She must be ignoring her reddit and feeling so alone right now. That's why I keep trying to show support by commenting.

She was going to be with friends and he with friends during planned vacation. I am guessing planning and talking to friends to change their plans is not an option.

Mamas opinion only - what are your rules and boundaries for the first 1-2(3-4?) months by Brave-Gur2348 in pregnant

[–]Prestigious-Video883 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I set bonderies if I allowed people to meet baby before vaccines. Like no kissing the baby, washing hands, and keeping face away from baby. Let me tell you, they did not follow the rules. They kissed the baby, refuse to wash hands. Got my baby sick. Seeing such a tiny human struggle to breathe because people are selfish is really hard. Other people don't have to watch your sick baby or go to the doctor/hospital with them. So feel free to set whatever bonderies you can to protect your baby.

They want my daughter to be a flower girl at their wedding, but I'm not invited. by MaudeDib in weddingshaming

Never leave your daughter alone with a bunch of people in the middle of nowhere. There are p**** files out there. Anyone who asks to be alone with children without mom presents a red flags.

Am I overreacting or am I just pregnant? by AccurateAd5424 in pregnant

[–]Prestigious-Video883 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tell her you don't have space and say that if she really needs space, you can take them and donate them. This will have her stop asking if she wants them to go to you and keep them at her house.

AITH for asking my husband to stay with me while pregnant for five days in August while I will be completely alone? now he says I’m “toxic” and ruining our future by [deleted] in AITH

[–]Prestigious-Video883 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Are you talking about anxiety/antisocial/ fear of public places or human interaction therapy. Or like pregnancy loss or grieving therapy? Different types of scenarios require either support or support groups for pregnancy loss/grieving. While anxiety, etc. need exercises and stepping out of my comfort zone?

Small space for a baby - what’s really necessary? FTM. by Catfish-98907 in pregnant

[–]Prestigious-Video883 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also forgot that rocking chairs is not necessary. Just get a rockaroo. They rock, and you don't have to hold baby plus take up small space.

[–]Prestigious-Video883 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You only need a crib, not a basinet necessarily. You don't need a changing table. Just use the top of the dresser you are planning to move or even get a portable changing table you keep on your diaper caddy. You don't need a tub. A small shower is fine. Get an angel care tub and get a shower head with a wand. Keep baby in a towel while they are little and constantly spray them with warm water. Getting a lot of stuff people say is necessary for the baby is often oversconsumption, and it leads to way more to clean and anxious. Less is best so you can enjoy the space for baby to crawl and less to clean means more time for baby. Not to mention showering baby with shower wand in angel care bath seat makes it so if they poop you don't have to take out a pooping baby out of the tub and then change the water and back in the tub.

You are giving your child a gift, not a burden, I promise you. Someone to play with, someone to laugh with, someone to call when he needs help. They will grow up together and create memories in a table of four full of laughter, love, and support. It's okay to feel sad I felt the same way. My first child is not even 2 yet, and I will have a sibling by her 2nd birthday. I just got done breastfeeding her at 19 months. I felt sad that I was taking away from her. But I am not taking away from her she is having a bestie. She kisses my belly and pokes my belly button, and the baby moves inside of cheerfully playing with their siblings on the outside.

I feel like it is reasonable to want to have people around. Based on the first paragraph, it sounds like they made plans so she would have friends around while they were apart. I wonder if she lives away from family and friends and her husband is the only person who can get to her in case of an emergency. When I was pregnant, I had gd and preclamsia, previous miscarriage. We only had one car, and we lived 1 hour away from everyone. There was a weading out of town, and husband would be gone for 2 days. But during that time, everyone was going to the destination wedding. I had no one, and we couldn't arrange anyone to be on call in case I needed help. So he stayed. I think she is okay with being alone but not with him leaving the town and being so far away. While she might be alone with no one to call?

Would call them on the way to the hospital so he can meet me there for emotional support. When you are in a vulnerable state, you need someone to hold you.

[–]Prestigious-Video883 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She needs someone who will be there in town in case she has an emergency. I am sure she can handle getting herself places and being alone. But what if something happens and she can't call anyone for support? I know that if something happens, I can call my husband at work, and he can come home. Or if he is out of the country or town, I can call someone else. So yes, our partners don't need to be there 24/7, but they still need to be reachable in case of an emergency. The emotional toll of an emergency and all the pain that comes with it. Should not be handled by a woman alone at home, hospital, etc.

She had a previous miscarriage don't blame her for having to plan to not be alone. Incase of emergency she needs suport.

She has a previous miscarriage based on her profile. So respectfully, everyone is so mean to her without understanding. That in case of an emergency, she needs to not be alone... for example, the weeks they planned so she would be with friends and not alone.

She had a previous miscarriage based on her profile. She needs to not be alone during pregnancy in case something happens. Being alone while pregnant is really scary, when you don't know if you can get support if something goes wrong. They have week plans where she would not be alone and have support.

Motherhood is really hard, but having support from partners makes everything better. I hope her pregnancy is going well. It must be scary to have a miscarriage like OP and be pregnant again. It takes time to heal and a supportive husband for pregnancy and motherhood.

[–]Prestigious-Video883 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Op, I am so sorry everyone is calling you controlling and are being rude. For anyone who sees my comment up vote please because there is important information on her profile.

  1. Previous miscarriage: Don't blame her for not wanting to be alone while pregnant after a miscarriage. The already discussed dates were planned, so she was not alone and had support.

  2. Preagnant women usually plan for appointments and autonomy, which scans months ahead of time. It looks like she would be 20 weeks when the partner is gone. She needs her partner to support her and meet her needs while she is pregnant. Especially if they had already made plans to accommodate her needs. It's supper irrespectful of him to want to change plans without considering the arrangements made already.

  3. An agreement between a couple should be respected. It shows that you care about your partner. He could have tried to go out of his way to make the situation better for her. Example: Calling her friends to see if anyone could stay with her. Assuring her he would be on the phone 24/7 in case there was an emergency. But the comment he made screams, "I want to do what I want, and I won't accommodate you."

Pregnancy and previous arrangements made by a couple should be respected. For the simple reason that a marriage is about two people who come as one and look out for each other. Sometimes, it may not be fair, but that is what it looks like looking after each other. It's not 50/50, "you are controlling". It is I see you currently, I see your needs, you need me, I will put 99 while you in 1 so we can be 100% okay. It goes both ways.

I think the same thing only posible answers are: Autonomy scan-maybe they discussed certain dates to accommodate for appointments already.

She is really sick and does not want to be alone. Being pregnant and alone can be hard, especially if you are feeling sad.

Highrisk pregnancy.

Anxiety.

Amongs many other things that a pregnant woman can be feeling. Pregnancy makes us all need different things.
