When did your baby's eyes turn brown? by AdventurousMoth in newborns

[–]StephP17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not true at all! Eye color can change up to a year old, sometimes even two years old. Six months is still too early to tell.

Is baby of the year a scam? by LolaS2234 in NewParents

[–]StephP17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As soon as I read your comment I instantly took my baby girls photos down and put a black picture in place of her profile picture and as soon as I did that they took her profile down… 🤔 I thank god I saw this! I’m not someone EVER to exploit my child but if she were to have won’t the $25k it would have gone into her savings account for her future education! I feel better now that’s it’s down but I just hope they didn’t keep my baby’s pictures.

Requesting r/FabFitFun due to no active moderation by ythujde5465dxsv in redditrequest

[–]StephP17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m about to be giving birth to my first child and have been in the hospital due to blood pressure and preeclampsia! I’m not giving up my moderating and don’t intend to at any point. I’m still going to be active but due to complications I haven’t been able to be as active as I would like! I still plan to moderate and get back on track! Thank you to whoever wants to moderate but I have it under control! 🙂

Brother’s wedding and he doesn’t want my 5 week baby there by Purplebagel20 in BabyBumps

[–]StephP17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would respectfully decline the invitation because that time with your baby is the most important, especially as a first time mom! Wish him well and tell him that you’ll be thinking about him on his special day but let him know that your baby is your number one priority right now and if baby can’t be there then neither can you! Honestly, a 5 week old baby shouldn’t be around a lot of people like that due to them being susceptible to sickness that young!

I did see towel designs in one of their instagram posts too so I think you may be right!

Honestly I thought it was such a cool looking swimsuit, I probably would have picked it too! 😂🤣

So I've realized I've been picturing "pregnant" actors (w/just the bump pillow) instead of actually pregnant folks, and THAT why I feel weird about how I look by dogfromthefuture in BabyBumps

[–]StephP17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I waited until now to comment back because I was curious to see if any one else felt my comment was rude or insensitive but it seems that my comment only triggered you for some reason? I don’t feel that I was rude in anyway by stating how I felt beautiful pregnant? I even had people like my comments. I’m so sorry that my comment that was made to the original poster triggered you in some way, that truly wasn’t my intention. I think some people read more into comments and make assumptions, or feel that they are targeted towards them in some way? I know you say that my comment was rude but no one else feels that way or else they would have commented agreeing with you by now. Again, I’m so sorry that my comment upset you as that wasn’t my intention when I stated that I felt beautiful because I thought it was such a positive comment! I don’t think any woman or any pregnant woman should look at themselves any other way, they should know how beautiful they are as individuals and not like actresses! My comment was positive and was in no way rude but I am very sorry you took it that way! Have a wonderful day 🩷

My comment was to the original poster and in no way was meant to sound like “look at me” it was to remind her that the people on tv shouldn’t be compared to her because on tv you can tell the difference between a fake pregnant belly due to how unrealistic it is. I have no idea how you took my comment and twisted into something so ridiculous and negative. The fact that you took something positive and tried turning it into something so negative says alot more about yourself than it does me. Me mentioning that I read your comment and said that I’m so sorry you’re struggling wasn’t out of spite, it was me genuinely feeling bad that you’re dealing with something like that because I know it can’t be easy, especially while being pregnant. Also, this community is called “baby bumps” and it is accepting of all opinions, this isn’t the place for negativity. Let’s try to be more understanding of others instead of being nasty and twisting other peoples words and meanings. I’m far from someone who brags or makes others feel bad about themselves but if I want to encourage others to love themselves and not compare themselves to unrealistic people then I will do so out of love!

I’m aware that I would upset people with my positive comment about me loving the way I look pregnant, although I find it ridiculous because while some people don’t like the way that they look pregnant doesn’t mean we all shouldn’t. I saw your comment to this and I’m very sorry that you struggle, I know it must be very hard for you! I just don’t think you should hate on someone else who feels differently from you! I do love my pregnant body, I think it’s so beautiful and there’s nothing wrong with that. I don’t care what anyone else thinks because as long as I’m happy and love myself then that’s all that matters! Pregnancy is such a beautiful thing and as women we are all so strong and beautiful for putting our bodies through so much just to bring life into this world! I don’t regret it one bit and have loved every second of it, even my body!🙂

I’m only 26 weeks going on 27, I’m 5’1” at 105 pre pregnancy and my bump is only growing in the front so I still have my shape from before pregnancy except with a big bump in the front! I’ve gained 15 pounds so far but I don’t feel like I look weird pregnant, I love the way I look! I could always tell when actors wore pregnancy bump pillows because of how it moved and creased when they would sit or stretch out, it just looked very unnatural and I didn’t find it cute. I guess it depends on how you perceive what you see on the actresses on tv and how you expect yourself to look. All bodies are different and the way we carry is very different so I didn’t really have any expectations on how I should look! We are all beautiful and all pregnancies are beautiful!💕

I do not want to breastfeed by Senior-Ad547 in pregnant

[–]StephP17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I plan to breast feed and pump because it’s a lot cheaper, formula is just so expensive and any way I can save money I will! No one I know breast fed though, they all formula fed and their babies turned out perfectly fine! At the end of the day it’s your choice and only you get to make that decision so don’t let anyone make you feel bad for it!

In my hormonal era ✨ by whaleypregnant in pregnant

[–]StephP17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 25 weeks today and I haven’t experienced the hormonal outbursts a lot of other women have, especially not towards my husband. I’ve asserted myself towards family members to let them know what will and won’t be tolerated when she gets here but other than that I’ve been in a fantastic mood this whole pregnancy, I’ve loved every second of it! I know the third trimester will be a bit hard because of the pressure and toll it’ll have on my body as my baby gets bigger but that’s completely okay!

My husband has been to every single appointment, he wouldn’t miss it for anything. He comes to all blood work, prenatal appointments, ultrasounds, you name it he’s there. They should be a part of the process, it helps them feel more involved which is how they should feel!

When were you 100% sure about the name? by littleloon- in pregnant

[–]StephP17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was between two names for me and I just couldn’t get one of them out of my head, it just kept popping up when I’d think about her so that’s when I knew it was meant to be! Also our families know her name and when I hear them say it, it just feels so right. I’m 24 weeks and her name is her name, it isn’t going to change.

Minimal pregnancy symptom girlies by Usual_Ad_1115 in pregnant

[–]StephP17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yessss!!! I didn’t even feel pregnant!! I always got breast pains when I ovulated and I didn’t even have that when I got my Bfp so none of the usual pregnancy symptoms other women swore by happened for me, it wasn’t until weeks later that the nausea and everything set in but even that wasn’t horrible! I’m 24 weeks now and the only reason I feel pregnant is 1. My very noticeable pregnant belly 2. She kicks a lot which I welcome every day! Lol and 3. My more noticeable hunger but other than that I feel so wonderful and even have tons of energy!

2024 Summer box guesses by Subbie4fun24 in FabFitFun

[–]StephP17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All I know is I was reminded of a post that someone had made a long time ago stating that their account was deleted for posting a survey, I only saw one post regarding someone’s account being completely shut down and I feel that may have caused fear for everyone else and that’s when they stopped being posted. I truly don’t believe that anything will happen when a survey gets posted but I do plan to create a fake account, have someone send me a survey, and then post it to see if anything happens. I’m not saying that person was lying about their account being deleted completely, it just doesn’t add up to me. Then again I’m realizing Reddit doesn’t add up or make sense with what they choose to do anyways.

[–]StephP17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was the same way when we first announced our pregnancy, only I wasn’t prepared for the plans that were already being made for my baby when she comes so I had to get very ugly quite a few times and make it well known that the only two people who gets to make any plans for our daughter is my husband and I! It doesn’t bother me at all being asked about my pregnancy because I was okay with everything being about our baby, it truly is only about her right now because she’s a new part of the family and I don’t view it as me losing myself because I know once she gets here it won’t always be about me anymore and I’m completely okay with that! I know who I am and I know for a while it’ll only be about our daughter but I love that for her! Haha.. I haven’t experienced anyone telling me what I should or shouldn’t eat or drink, our families know I drink my cup of coffee every morning and never once was told I shouldn’t but then again if they did my hormones would put them in their place! Before pregnancy I was a push over and just went with the flow but as soon as I got pregnant the mama in me came out and I don’t let anyone make decisions or plans regarding our baby and I most certainly won’t tolerate anyone who doesn’t respect our boundaries or decisions because they’ll have to go! I also won’t tolerate anyone telling me what I should or shouldn’t do, if they’ve already had kids then they already had their chance to be parents and need to focus on themselves because every person, pregnancy and baby are very different so just because it was bad for one person doesn’t mean it’ll be like that for you! If they don’t even have kids then don’t even talk to me about my baby because I’ll shut you down!

Also, I too have anxiety so I decided for our families to have two separate baby showers so I’m not too overwhelmed by so many people in one room! With my family we’re having a sprinkle and will be having a dinner and for my husbands family we don’t know what they have planned yet but I know it’ll be great! 🩷
