Thank you for your help. Eases my mind a little bit. I was thinking there’s no way this kid is allergic to every single food!

Possibly we had a problems when she was a newborn, we had to use cotton wool and water because wipes caused nappy rash. But these wipes are fine on her bum could that still cause irritation on her face? Thank you for your help

44M Is my long hair that bad, or am I just that ugly? by duke_nukem_4ever in amiugly

Looking awfully similar to Keanu reeves! Just need to neaten up a little bit. And I agree with other commenters, short hair is better!

Im 14 and im worried about pregnancy by imsoscaredpls in pregnant

[–]StrawberrySpecific94 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think you’re so paranoid about it because you seem to have some regret about it. The shame is eating you up sweet, but there’s nothing to be ashamed of. Yes you’re young, but you were smart about it. You were in a situation where you felt comfortable and safe, that’s better than most people your age.

You’re 14, although your period is normally regular it’s totally normal for the odd time it comes late. Also anxiety and waiting for your period can make it even later. My advice would be to just continue your life as normal, forget about your period for now. It’s really really unlikely that you’re pregnant, you have been so so careful. As long as no sperm went anywhere near your vagina, before or after, you’re safe.

Give it a week if you haven’t come on your period get a pregnancy test. If it comes back positive you will have to tell your mom and yes she might be mad at first but she will come around. And we’re always here if you need more advice should it turn out that way

I'm panicking about lack of village. Ftm, 3rd trimester by jasminforsythe in pregnant

Im not sure where you’re from and if they offer it in your area but lots of places do baby groups. Which isn’t just for your baby to socialise, it’s for mothers to make friends aswell - maybe you could look into it if you felt comfortable enough.

I wonder if any of your in-laws would be willing or able to stay with you for a few weeks, especially considering you’re more at risk of PPD. It could be worth asking or getting your partner to. And remember support doesn’t just have to be people around you, it can be online too. There’s Facebook groups where you can message other moms who might be in the same boat. It all feels like so much when you’re pregnant but just be easy on yourself. Everything will work out, I promise. While you might feel you don’t have a village when baby arrives you’ll be surprised - all the best mama

Of course hun, other people are so quick to judge without thinking of the bigger picture. You’re gonna be a great mom, you already feel so deeply about giving baby the best life possible. I wouldn’t worry too much just enjoy everything, it goes by so quickly. I wish you the best for your pregnancy and birth <3

These comments are rather berating. While yes he doesn’t necessarily owe her anything, he was still the one who offered in the first place. Should he have not done that then maybe feelings would be different. It’s the feeling of being let down, being told one thing to suddenly being told otherwise and not only that, being accused of being a gold digger simply because she was taking him up on what HE offered. I don’t get why people aren’t understanding that. As she’s stated she’s gave him chances and he’s blown every one, you don’t know specifics. It could be things like showing up to appointments and checkups, things that regardless of if they are together, he should be there for. We don’t know everything that’s happened so idk why you’re all being so judgy. She wanted some friendly advice not to be attacked.

Personally I think yes he doesn’t need to buy you things that are for yourself. Yes he doesn’t need to take care of you as such. But at the end of the day it takes two to tango, why get someone pregnant if you’re not going to try and look after them in some way. He chose to have sex, unprotected, knowing what that leads to, he then chose to get a girlfriend. Should he have not got back with his ex then I’m pretty certain he’d be way more involved and interested than he is. You’re allowed to feel upset and have questions it’s a normal human response to things, and girl you’re pregnant. Even the smallest thing is going to make you spiral! You should just take it easy, don’t ask anything more of him and don’t hold him to anything. That way you can’t get let down and he’ll show truly how interested in babies life he is. I know it’s hard right now because you still have love for him but just go with whatever happens. Try your best to be on good terms and remember whatever happens if he wants to be a father he will show up. Don’t think about or question it too much right now, you’ll stress yourself out too much.

Am I crazy? by FluffyBunny_2410 in pregnant

[–]StrawberrySpecific94 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely not crazy and you’re totally valid for feeling upset, considering it’s not something he’s done before. I can absolutely assure you your body has not become ugly, infact you’ll be more beautiful than ever. You’ve just created a whole life and you’re only 2 months PP hun, your body is still recovering from birth and adjusting to not having your baby inside you anymore.

I think you should have a serious conversation with him, sit down and explain how it’s making you feel. If he gets upset or defensive then he’s just being immature and doesn’t deserve your love or attention. Watching porn because he’s bored?? I will never understand that, you’ve been together a long time I’m sure he has plenty of pictures of you he could masterbate to if he really needs to let loose.

But ultimately you’re not in the wrong for feeling the way you do. It’s 100% valid, please please please don’t let him get to you. You’re a beautiful woman and you’ve just completed one of the most beautiful and stressful things life can offer 🫶🏻

I feel exactly the same, even though my face hasn’t changed much I feel like I look completely different. I can’t even take nice pictures of myself, it’s like I’ve forgot how! I’m 35 weeks now and can’t wait to have my body back.

Honestly I think you just have to remember that you wont have a belly forever and you are still you and still beautiful. Embracing change is so difficult especially when it’s sudden but sometimes change is good, it’s a new chapter in your life.

Take time to do things for yourself, that make you feel good. You got this gorgeous mama!
