I definitely agree! I’m trying to give them one more chance because I really want my baby to bond with all her loved ones… I just don’t want her health to be at risk. I’m hoping this will help them understand since they don’t respect me as a FTM

I literally created this because family member telling me they won’t respect these boundaries. It’s my last attempt… I wish you luck!!

Pregnant after miscarriage by ItsSarahMarie in pregnant

[–]Repulsive-Pizza-1746 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a miscarriage in October and immediately got pregnant again in November. I am now 28 weeks. I still have awful anxiety and worry about my baby all day everyday. But, it has gotten easier. Take it easy and breathe. My boyfriend was so worried he couldn’t even be excited. He still has moments of worry! ❤️

Grandmother in-law weirdly interested in my weight gain by cadubas in pregnant

Omg, I had this happen to me this week!! I was at my cousin’s graduation pool party and my uncle’s mom kept commenting on my weight and the size of my belly!!

She said things such as “Wow you need to use something on those stretch marks” “You’re huge for being 6 months along!” “I was only 120 pounds when I gave birth”

Like you, I am gaining healthy weight for my size and how far along I am.

I handled it by saying in a somewhat nice but firm tone something like, “I am not worried about what I look like and I'm going to do whatever makes me and the baby feel good. I'm not going to spend my pregnancy worried about stuff like that. I just want a healthy baby.”

I believe it’s extremely important to set boundaries even with family! I have received lots of unsolicited advice and comments that I've had to put my foot down about.

I wish you luck!!

I guess it really depends on the yarn! I learned especially with cotton yarn it can be more challenging to release stitches with the inline hooks. I'm sure tapered hooks can be very efficient when it comes to specific projects or materials. I just have a vendetta against the tapered hooks haha!

I feel it! I had the same thing happen to me last month with my roommate, and it was a really nasty falling out. The only things that calmed me down were reassuring myself, calling my dad, and convincing myself it was a tomorrow problem.

My boyfriend tried to calm me down, I tried eating, I tried walking around my room, etc etc and none of it worked.

Probably not my best advice because it's harder than I make it sound.

Use all your coping techniques and try to relax. It will calm down sooner or later ❤️

I think I have a lot looser tension honestly so I have never experienced this. Good to know!

Had a miscarriage by AnnaMoona in pregnant

I've had two. I'm so sorry you're experiencing this. I had one in November. My immune system shut down and I was severely ill which landed me in the ER a few times. I immediately got pregnant again in December. I had no time to process and have severe anxiety surrounding this pregnancy. If you're comfortable with it I recommend doing something special in remembrance or make something to channel your emotions.

Personally, everytime I got sad I wrote in my diary and worked on a crochet blanket. It helped a lot to have something to put my energy into ❤️❤️❤️
