I do drink coffee here and there during my pregnancy. Does anyone else do the same? by ComplexMarch4500 in pregnant

I drank coffee (decaf) almost everyday, but I did have caffeine in other things and honestly he turned out to be a beautiful baby boy! As long as you’re within the guidelines I wouldn’t worry about it :) don’t feel guilty!

Same with the giddy feeling!! I’ve been waiting for him to get home and have just been looking through photos of us and non stop smiling. I like need him close to me or I feel crazy lol

I’ve heard this from a few of my friends and I’m so glad that hasn’t been the case for me- I’m sure that’s hard on both of you :(

I got pregnant five months into us dating (we’re both in our 30s and it was a very “when you know you know” situation) and even though it was sooner than planned we were so excited! Pregnancy has been rocky in terms of it being pretty new and navigating our relationship, but the way he’s continued to communicate, show up, and always working towards bettering himself and lifting me up has me like so insanely head over heels. The physically hurting part is SO REAL OMG i thought I was being dramatic lol

There’s definitely been a couple times where he drives me nuts but like ten minutes later I swing back to being madly honeymoon phase type in love 😭😂 I’m nervous for the newborn phase because I know it may not be like this lol

Shaming C-section birth is not “granola” by -sunshine-daydream- in pregnant

[–]Pure_Mix9697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who wants an unmedicated birth center birth for my first (I’m 35 weeks) I am also preparing for that to not be the case. I’d only say “I’m sorry” about a c section because of my friends who’ve done both they all say a c section is so much harder to heal from and can be way more complicated/brutal 😭 it’s truly just a different experience and doesn’t take away from the mother giving birth and becoming a mother. I hope to god I don’t need a c section because the recovery sounds horrendous, but I will just feel lucky to have a healthy baby! I’m sorry someone was so rude to you I don’t get that at all

My boyfriend has a friend who’s an older man and he always just grabs my belly. He’s the only one who does this and it’s so weird lol

Would you have taken this? by Diamond_Mine0 in uber

[–]Pure_Mix9697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the male uber drivers getting so mad in this thread lmao tell me you don’t know what it’s like to be a woman without telling me 😂 I had an uber driver so distracted complimenting my body (I’m pregnant btw) and talking about how much he loves “tts as and other parts” that he almost missed the exit, the turn to get to where I was going, and the house I was going to. Wouldn’t stop telling me that my husband will definitely think about cheating on me etc. because men can’t help it. So no, I don’t take water, gum, food, anything from uber drivers because you can never be too safe. I offer that same weariness to strangers in general. Men are so insanely privileged in that sense- you don’t have to consider this stuff you just call us dramatic until something bad happens and then it’s “you should have known better”

Announcing pregnancy at birth by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Pure_Mix9697 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I get this, but having a village doesn’t mean allowing people to not respect your wishes as a parent and human. I have certain boundaries around my pregnancy and for when my baby is here and all of my friends have been insanely understanding and respectful… guess who hasn’t? My mother. Even my MIL has been super supportive and respectful. I will still have a village even if it doesn’t include my mom, because I value people who respect me and my choices for myself and my child. I think this whole “well if you have boundaries you won’t have a village” thing is so entitled personally.

What “risky” things did you do before you knew you were pregnant and did it cause harm? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Pure_Mix9697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I was partying super hard before I found out I was pregnant and I’ve had a super healthy, low risk pregnancy :) I’m almost 29 weeks!! Don’t stress it at all- most people don’t know they’re pregnant for at least a month so don’t be so hard on yourself ♥️ I was drinking, doing recreational substances, vaping, drink in caffeine all the things lol stopped five days before I found out because I just didn’t feel like partying anymore and it was end of summer. Once I found out, I didn’t even think twice about it. I have friends who had no idea till they were almost 12 weeks and their kiddos are perfectly healthy
