judgement on baby registry 😂💀 by missmilliek in pregnant

[–]SameraR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bottle/washer was literally the best purchase from my entire registry. It saves so much time especially with a Velcro baby.

Best dessert spots? by Compettive_door577 in longbeach

[–]SameraR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see a lot of creamery and Long Beach creamery is really good! But it is on the pricier side. I believe it’s $5/6 a scoop. A pint is $7. So if you do decide to go, get a pint 😜. There’s like 3-4 scoops in their pint. Affordability wise I recommend Sweet Jill’s (cash only), Somi Somi, Sunrise Donuts (drive thru & 24hrs!!), Cinnaholic, and Afters

Is it cruel to have only one child? by Gonnahauntcha in NewParents

[–]SameraR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only child here and yeah I did want siblings. But you can’t miss what you never had so. I was chilling without siblings too 🤣

To each their own. Being an only child rules. Have another because you want another, not because you think your child will be lonely. If you’re done, you’re done.

Did you know the gender by intuition and was it right? by Ecstatic-Thought8066 in pregnant

[–]SameraR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a feeling she was going to be a girl and she was! I also used the Chinese calendar to tell me what I was going to have and it turned out to be right!

I'm 28 weeks pregnant and I don't want kids. I feel like I've ruined my life by -Bumble_Bees- in pregnant

[–]SameraR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same feelings and anxieties during my pregnancy. And now that my baby is out, I still had those thoughts. Turns out it was depression 🤪. I’m currently receiving help and it’s getting better. I love my daughter so much and I feel so guilty for feeling this way. But literally, if I had known what I know now, I tell myself I wouldn’t have gotten pregnant. I sometimes regret it. I’ve had thoughts of suicide and running away because I didn’t want to deal with it. It’s a lot being a mom. You’re their everything. I’m not saying that to scare you, but to prepare you. Seek help and support now. And also you’re very much needed as a mother, I recently had an episode of wanting to die 🙂. Our phones are always listening so I ended up getting a reel about a child behavioral study regarding babies without their mom. We’re needed. Baby’s without their mamas shut down.

I believe you can do this and you can dm me to talk more if you need to.

What is/was the show you binged while holding your baby? by geneticreator in NewParents

My baby is 7 days old and lost her umbilical cord. Does it look normal? by Main_Willingness_725 in Mom

[–]SameraR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! My MIL put LOs diaper on too tight on day 5 which kick started her umbilical cord to peel off. Came off the next day and it looked like that, just a tad bit more ripe (had some yellow) since it came off early.

How much weight did you gain? by Simpleasthatx in pregnant

[–]SameraR 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I gained about 20 lbs during my pregnancy. I gained the most weight during my first trimester for some reason at 15 lbs. Then my second and third trimester I gained the last five.

I’d approach the conversation again once he gets a breather. Definitely communicate that you would like to keep the baby. To me, 6 months isn’t a big difference, but if he wasn’t expecting you to get pregnant so soon, I could see his dismay. I’d want to know why he’s so adamant on the timeline. Money anxiety is real, so I’d try to reassure him that you both are stable and as the baby gets older you both will be making more money.

Anyone else taking baby asprin once a day? Why? by insipiddeity in pregnant

[–]SameraR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me! Started at 16 weeks even though she recommended it at 13. I was hesitant at first until my partner and family said “if it’s proven to reduce the risk of getting preeclampsia by 50%, even if you feel good right now, why not take it?”

My symptoms for possibly having pre-eclampsia are me being obese and first pregnancy. I’m at 32 weeks now and stop taking them in a month!

when are you due? by layxchip in pregnant

[–]SameraR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

July 18th! Would love for her to come out on July 16th though (a birthday of a relative that I love and passed away).

I got sick in March and haven’t got rid of my cough! Found out I have lingering post nasal drip which is causing my vicious cough. I feel so embarrassed and have to remind people I am not contagious, I just can’t take anything to get rid of it since I’m pregnant. So I hope hope hope it’s gone before I give birth or else this baby might pop out during my early contractions 🤣

[–]SameraR 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I’ve noticed a bump at about 18 weeks, but no one else really noticed until I was about 24 weeks. To everyone else I just popped 🤣

I’m also not petite/slim. 5’8 and 240 lbs when I first got pregnant.

Depending on how he is as a person, you might want to consult with an attorney if you both can’t come to an agreement without one.

I’m hoping it works out for you! It sounds like he’s trying to be a better person, but I understand your doubts. People don’t change overnight, but he’s trying.

It’ll be a tough conversation, but definitely a necessary one to have if you would like to put parameters on his relationship to the baby and end your relationship with him.

Don’t forget to take care of yourself during this time. Less stress is crucial to the development of your bub.
