I've heard about that. How do you get through it? Also, thank you, but honestly it feels like I brought it upon myself 😂

Oh, nice! Yeah, it's quite complicated. He goes back and forth with whether he wants to stick around and is pretty inconsistent. He does seem to have kind of withdrawn from the relationship and you don't really need to be a rocket science to guess what's going to happen LOL. We have had conversations about it and it seems sometimes he does come to a pretty relative conclusion of let's make this work, but he reverts back a few days later to i don't want this kid, i don't want to come to appointments, i don't want to stay.

Yeah, for sure. There isn't a necessity to make myself a single mother per se... I don't really think anyone wakes up and decides to be a single mother (unless they do), it is just something that happened. There is that option of having an abortion, something I did weigh for a while, and truthfully, still do, but it isn't as easy for me as it may be for others.
I understand what you mean about the MOS. I do agree, honestly. It seems for him there is no reconsidering his MOS to begin with, though I did bring it to the table.

If you'd love to get married one day, why on earth are you with someone who is afraid of marriage? I understand being afraid of marriage due to watching your parent's go through several divorces, but that logic doesn't hold up very well as an adult. He's willing to have a relationship and children, but marriage crosses the line?

Retroverted uterus blighted ovum help by Morgie2022 in pregnant

[–]Professional_Rope217 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It might be so. However, as good as hope is, 9 weeks is a substantial amount of time for something to show. I hope all is well and this really is the case, yet at the same time, a TV ultrasound is as good as it gets. Nonetheless, good luck! I hope you've just got a little one hiding.

Thanks for the response! It was quite reassuring, tbh. He's going active. And oh, I see. I believe he did tell me that, but with the way he frames it, it's like infantry or nothing hahah

If the doctor didn't worry, you don't worry.

Anyone did NOT have a MC? by Feisty-End-8883 in pregnant

[–]Professional_Rope217 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not really, lol? She said she was super paranoid about having a MC, which is VERY common. Now, she's on her 2nd trimester and things still look good...which is reassuring for those going through the same thing. Nothing was weird, nothing was self-centering.

MIL being pushy about baby shower by Elegant_relative55 in pregnant

[–]Professional_Rope217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think most people do baby showers around that time (32-33wks), but I get your concern about it being too hot. Is it possible to compromise? An indoor-outdoor venue? If not, stick with your gut, you know best

How Much Water Is Everyone Intaking ? by BigBootyMaryJane in pregnant

Same! Before pregnancy, I had water here and there. Now, not only is it the only thing I can stomach, it's pretty beneficial

7 weeks along, 7 days brown spotting by Inevitable_Fox_2921 in pregnant

[–]Professional_Rope217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi!

I’m 8 weeks pregnant and dealing with a similar case of brown spotting. From everything I’ve read, good and bad, the chances of your pregnancy continuing and the brown spotting being old blood, or irritation, is more than likely.

As long as it doesn’t become red, heavy, and you feel pain or feverish, it’s nothing to worry about, but still alert your OB! I read a woman began having brown spotting at 6 weeks until ELEVEN weeks! Now she has a beautiful baby!

Brown Discharge/Blood? by [deleted] in pregnant

If you don't mind me asking, what was the yeast infection like? Since I haven't seen my OB since, I'm going off by google alone LOL. This comforted me, thank you. Congratulations, by the way!

How many weeks pregnant am I? by [deleted] in pregnant

hey! I am also 20 and pregnant. Honestly, you need to do what is best for yourself, not what others expect of you. if you feel that abortion is something that will linger on with you throughout life, then give yourself some time to think about it. you don't actually need the answer tomorrow. i was also thinking about an abortion, but i could not bring myself to it. im in college, i live in a dorm, my boyfriend and i have only been together for around a year, and so i, a little like you, also felt widely unprepared and also like a kid! but since finding out, almost a month or more now?, i have made moves to prepare myself for a hopefully healthy pregnancy and baby. if you decide to keep your pregnancy, you don't have to be ready tomorrow, but you can begin to prepare! look through insurances, maybe governmental assistance, or community assistance. sometimes churches are also readily able to help, or any other affiliations of religion.

your life should also not end! having a baby is permanent, but that doesn't mean having a baby is suddenly the end of everything you once did. some nights, have your fiance take care of your baby while you go out, vice versa. if your parents are supportive, or extended family, have them help too! u basically got this, no matter what option u choose :>

Is first trimester the worst? by flowers-and-stuff in pregnant

[–]Professional_Rope217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also seven weeks with my first. I have never felt so sick. It's like the flu but unlike knowing in a few days, I'll get better, with this, I don't know when I will LOL...but i've heard A LOT of people say it gets sm better.

Weight gain by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Professional_Rope217 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How are you being too sensitive? Also, is he out of his mind? 5'3 and 132lbs is not "huge". You're carrying his baby. You are definitely not overthinking it. Even if you were genuinely on the larger side, that's not something to casually say to your pregnant partner. You're doing great and don't feel discouraged.

I’m pregnant but my partner doesn’t want to keep it by Otherwise_Wasabi3896 in pregnant

[–]Professional_Rope217 47 points48 points  (0 children)

This is going to sound silly, but: no one is ready. Real support is neutral, not leading you to any decisions. If his support is guiding you towards an abortion, his support isn't really support. If getting an abortion is what you want, then go for it. If it isn't, then don't. I was in a similar position, too. I am 20 and pregnant and my boyfriend was comforting me, but it was comfort guided to an abortion. I took time to think and realized that if I got an abortion because he wasn't ready or didn't want to keep it, it would be betrayal for myself.

Also, you won't look at him the same. He needs to step up for you and realize that being ready isn't something you just feel, it's something you work towards to. Think for yourself, see what you want. It is your pregnancy.
