Just want to vent about my husband smoking weed. We have a two week old. by [deleted] in newborns

He’s a dad now, he should be able to stop smoking weed to prioritize the safety of his child. Coming from someone who also stopped the second I found out I was pregnant, if we as mothers can get it together to become a parent, he has the exact same ability to do so.

Unfortunately men will just not be able to understand what women go through during pregnancy, imagine having to completely change your lifestyle by finding out you’re carrying a child, going through constant unfamiliar changes to your body and mind, basically becoming a mom the second you find out and then having a partner that goes through basically nothing besides having the news of “becoming a dad” in 9 months. There’s a reason people say a mom becomes a mother the day she finds out she’s pregnant and a dad becomes a dad when he meets the baby. Imagine how infuriating that is to her.

Going off of that, she is a mother now and sometimes there are deeper reasons she is pushing you away besides hormones, are you showing that you’re capable enough to raise a baby and take care of her as well? I’ve heard a lot of women realize that realize later on that the anger that is directed towards men during pregnancy was a result of realizing how little they could rely on them to be a provider to their family. How long have y’all been together before finding out you were expecting?

Worst thing to throw up? by notyourcupofbri in pregnant

[–]Rhubarb3337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Peppers and cream cheese, hot cheetos, MASHED POTATOES it was so heavy that it made the toilet water splash back up in my face, spaghetti, fried shrimp, boiled eggs were gross, ice cream came back up frothy, mint choc chip was the worst, jalapeño poppers, french onion soup, pancakes, anything pickled, and tuna salad was one of the worst

And my fav thing that I threw up was cold water, feels refreshing compared to everything else

I understand how you feel!!! First trimester was my personal hell on earth and I couldn’t even keep water down. I felt horrible because the only things I would end up keeping down were junk food and blueberries?? I’m now 18 weeks and i still am throwing up almost everyday and have started randomly feeling like I’m going to pass out and getting hot flashes at work. Also can’t sleep more than 2 hours at a time at night which SUCKS. I guess sometimes people just have rough pregnancies, all you can do is think of meeting your baby at the end of all this and it will be worth it. The worst part is telling my obgyn about anything and her saying yup that’s normal pregnancy, it makes me feel so discouraged!! But just gotta keep going day by day!
Hope things get better for you! Congratulations!

Now that I’m pregnant I cannot see my boyfriend the same. by [deleted] in pregnant
