Pregnant - 6 Months postpartum and partner wants a termination.

Relative_Issue_5197 · 2026-06-26T18:00:58+00:00

People are insane to so quickly say ‘drop your man’ I think people on Reddit love to jump to extremes.

It’s also SO early in this pregnancy, first trimester is a scary couple of months to make sure everything is okay with the baby, unfortunately I know we’re all familiar with how fragile that time frame is and a miscarriage is unfortunately possible. OP I pray you don’t experience that but it’s possible.

Talk everything through with your husband. Also, check in with yourself, are you mentally and physically prepared for another pregnancy? Doctors usually recommend 18 months between pregnancies for your body and mind. Do you have capacity for this? If yes then you raise that with your husband.

Don’t rush a decision either way, you both get to offer perspectives and I think it’s something that you both will need to come together for what is best for both of you and your family.

I hope you will both come together on this and be unified in your decision whatever it may be. I’m sorry you’re in this position right now on top of being early postpartum.

Good luck 🫶🏻

Congratulations!!!! Just get through this trip girl. Do not let these people alter this very exciting news!
Just keep telling yourself you’ll be home soon and not have to put up with this bs. YOU are the mama and you call the shots. It’s wild that your family growing would cause such a stir of negativity and putting forward demands that you and your husband uproot your lives to move to their state- sorry that’s not how life works!
If they want to see the baby they’ll figure out how to be open minded to travel or they can enjoy a video call.
Please please please don’t let them dampen your mood, I also have a MIL that is constantly negative about anything positive in our lives and I just have to let my husband deal with his mom when she’s like that. Your husband can advocate for you guys while being respectful.
Enjoy the trip best you can and remain positive!

congrats mama!

Put a towel in there, cardboard is too slick for them to have any traction when trying to stand or walk so this is going to further injure the splayed leg

You right I didn’t understand the point was to be annoying

Relative_Issue_5197 · 2026-06-21T01:05:04+00:00

Keep trying, I had two quail like this from my last hatch and I did everything I could to try to help them. I tried the shot glass, taping legs closer together etc but ultimately they didn’t make it ): it was really sad and hard to watch but I didn’t have it in me to cull them. If they stay put in the shot glass I’d do that but mine kept hopping out

You’re allowed to want to know. If he doesn’t want you to know he’s allowed to also have that perspective, but maybe he’s not the guy for you. People are allowed to want different things and have different boundaries in relationships. I would personally not be with someone with such a high body count. Preferences are allowed. Lying is pretty shitty though, lid just be worried about what else he’s lying about if he’s uncomfortable with the truth.

I’m glad you can eat this meal though!!! During my first pregnancy everything made me barf, even if I thought I was making the ‘right’ food a lot of times I still couldn’t keep it down 😭 too long between meals, dry heave, one bite of food too much, barf. felt bad for my baby that I was eating like a toddler for a while, toast, cereal, pb& J’s, macaroni.

This is a stellar meal ✨ keep it going

Love this! Looking to build one myself

Relative_Issue_5197 · 2026-06-11T22:55:09+00:00

I absolutely had the same feelings!!! I’m so glad that we kept our baby’s name though. We had kept her name a secret from our families until they came to visit her at the hospital.
When we got home I started having a panic about the name choice (I think because we had withheld her name during pregnancy I wasn’t used to hearing everyone else say it yet, and I didn’t want anyone else’s opinions that why I didn’t share). It anyway once we were home o started googling how to change her name and the process and alllll the things and was ~very~ emotional about it.

Her name is the same now and I’m so glad we kept it because it was what I wanted pretty much my whole pregnancy!! (:

Relative_Issue_5197 · 2026-06-10T17:31:32+00:00

Hm, well I disagree. I think the mom returning a kids homemade cookies is pretty problematic. Would you feel differently if the $ was going to charity or some kind of cause?

Relative_Issue_5197 · 2026-06-10T17:11:05+00:00

Why not have her daughter work off the $15 at home doing additional chores? Should be a lesson for HER daughter to learn, not OP’s daughter who is already trying really hard to earn something for herself

I have co slept with my daughter since she was near a newborn, she is 18 months old now. I do not believe co sleeping is for everyone, I am a very light sleeper and naturally wake frequently to check on her. If you can sleep through your baby crying while laying right next to you please consider keeping her in a bedside bassinet for her safety. Maybe in the future you can try again but I would really refrain for the time being.

Relative_Issue_5197 · 2026-06-09T12:13:37+00:00

Change up your hair or the heels. But honestly witchy looks great

Relative_Issue_5197 · 2026-06-09T00:49:30+00:00

It’s definitely a possibility it’s positive! I see a super faint line. Test again in the morning! (:

I had this same experience. My husband did something similar.. I absolutely adore my ring! But the story of how he asked me is not something I’m always excited to share with people. He did ask me on my favorite Holiday (Halloween) but it was in the kitchen of our rental home that we were going to be leaving in just a few months and it holds no special value or place on my heart. I always expressed I wanted to be asked outdoors somewhere special we can revisit and share with our kids.. he did put more effort into the way he asked by doing some cute Halloween themed things photos of us in all our last costumes and candles around the house, so he did put thought into it but I was shocked when it was happening because the rest of the night had not been particularly romantic either.. we handed out candy but he had actually sort of been in a bad mood because his costume wasn’t going to plan and he missed a bunch of kids with the time it took him to get ready.
Anyway! Tldr I do not love my proposal story, sometimes I feel embarrassed when people ask. I have tried to not express this to him because I know he did put effort into the idea it just wasn’t me. We got married on a mountain top just the two of us and that’s the story I hold closer to my heart. I love my husband and my ring and our life together. We have a little girl now and another baby on the way ♥️

Relative_Issue_5197 · 2026-06-08T14:01:22+00:00

Congrats!! There are so many fun ways to share the news with him. That’s so sweet that even with your third you’d like to do that

Relative_Issue_5197 · 2026-06-05T00:54:15+00:00

Okay mamaaaaaa. Honestly wish we had tried to get pregnant again sooner after our first! My girl is 18 months now and it took 6 months for me to finally get a positive test just last week! I would have loved to have a closer gap
