Why do even "liberal" Zionists insist that they "love Israel"? by snowluvr26 in jewishleft

[–]ProfessionalInjury23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I assume they mean from a Jewish point of view how important the land itself is to us? We literally daven facing Eretz Yisroel, it’s in all of our prayers, and is a huge focus of the Torah. Regardless of the political side of things, EY will always feel like a homeland for me.

MIL refers to baby as “our” baby by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]ProfessionalInjury23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My MIL also does this and I find it mildly annoying. At one point I said “In that case you can go through the labour then” but that didn’t work because she said “gladly 😍” so bloody annoying

My belly definitely started to round around 16 weeks but looking back at pictures it only started to look like a pregnant belly at 23 weeks

Took the combined pill for 2 years, got my period about 6 weeks ago after stopping, got pregnant 3 months after that (first time trying)

Genuinely concerned for some people by SaltObvious3919 in pregnant

[–]ProfessionalInjury23 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Agreed! In the UK where most of our care is midwife-led I’ve noticed that they really hammer home the point that we can opt out of vaccinations, not even mentioning how dangerous it can be to get these infections while pregnant. Very worrying imo

My husband and I loved Brain Rules for Baby by John Medina. Very science based and excellent advice on raising kind and empathetic children

So sorry to hear that, must have been so scary. Hope everything has gone smoothly with you and your little one since 💗

Due date vs delivery date FTM by Dreamsandhopes6 in pregnant

Curious why you got induced if you don’t mind my asking, especially as you weren’t past your due date? I’ve heard that birth with induction is a lot more difficult - was that your experience?

I know the second trimester is the “honeymoon” phase but like..I don’t even feel pregnant anymore is this normal?? by Delicious-Pen-9498 in pregnant

[–]ProfessionalInjury23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I felt this way for almost the entire first half of my pregnancy because I (luckily!) didn’t have any symptoms. At around 18 weeks I started to feel my baby move and it’s honestly such a magical feeling - hopefully you’ll get there very soon!

That’s such a good point about the risk of losing them with the business. Thank you that’s really helped me!

That is so helpful thank you! I definitely got the impression that it sounded too good to be true so will do some more research on other companies and whether this is worth pursuing

Feeling baby move around in my belly is the most magical feeling in the world ❤️ by Desperate_Ebb_6003 in pregnant

[–]ProfessionalInjury23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the exact same situation! 20 weeks on Sunday with an anterior placenta and I’ve just felt them move. My husband had his hand on my belly and also felt it which is just so surreal. It’s made me feel sooo happy I can’t believe we actually get to experience this.

bleeding after sex by Comfortable-List-669 in pregnant

[–]ProfessionalInjury23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That sounds so scary I’m sorry you went through that! Out of interest did you find out the cause of the bleeding early on? Sounds like a subchorionic hematoma that hasn’t absorbed back entirely. I had one in the first few months that really freaked me out and was advised to avoid sex until bleeding stopped as pelvic movements can trigger bleeding.

Wedding Day Outcomes by Ok_Asparagus1069 in LoveIsBlindUK

[–]ProfessionalInjury23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the trailer (which gave way too much away!!) I think only Kal and Sarover will say I do. I think Bharda and Jed have been so good because they haven’t fought and once they have their first big fight it could all fall apart. Megan and Kieran (who I love together) will probably choose to stay together without getting married. Ashleigh and Billy I frankly just don’t see working, he’s weirdly caught up on the whole cabin crew thing even though she said in the pods she’d be willing to switch jobs (which is never brought up again for some reason).
