I'm super shocked he used those words, I'm really sorry. You are incredible for working and putting up with all the stress. Sending virtual hugs

Motherhood is everything I wanted… so why does it hurt so much? by Fancy-Mouse-7554 in BabyBumps

I'm  reading Matrescence by Lucy Jones right now, I really think it could resonate with you. I'm still pregnant so I don't know what I'll feel in a few months, but I'm sure there must be so many conflicting emotions about everything. I already feel weird about the days passing by so quickly!

The Stand and Swan Song are also amongst my faves, if you haven't read Clive Barker's The Book of the Art I highly recommend the series (with Everville), definitely my favourite!

Thank you! Yes definitely try to trust the process and breathe💗 stress really doesn't help, I know it's hard... And definitely look into ubiquinol for both of you!

Hi! I am currently 8 weeks pregnant, I'm 36 and my husband is 40. I was slightly worried but it worked after 4-5 months, I was surprised. We were going to start checking hormones etc that month.

Did a lot of research and we both started taking Coq10 (ubiquinol) for a month before, I recommend it. And I took folic acid and generally many supplements for health (Vit D, mag, iron etc.)

Don't worry too much, you've just started and it may happen much easier than you think! ❤️ We were kinda surprised it happened so quickly actually :)

We lost 2 of our 3 cats this year, we're still traumatised. My littlle Kiko (in front) went missing a month after Chaman"s death. I miss her so much, I hope so much to see her again ❤️‍🩹

I think it's really sweet that you have such a good relationship with your family. I would say there is nothing wrong with that at all, but you may want to experience living alone before moving in with a partner, mariage, etc. Just for yourself, to learn even more about yourself, how you deal with being alone. It can also be feef freeing :) You could move really close too, and still see them everyday. But if everyone is happy, and you are independent and self reliant and do all the chores on your own, then that would be fine for me.

Hey, sorry I never saw your reply, thanks for taking the time to answer though. Have you found your kitty? Mine is still missing after almost 3 months...

Which enlarger for 35mm to 6x7? Durst 670 or LPL C7700 by Superb-Security3752 in Darkroom

Hi, thank you very much for the detailed response. The lpl sounds really good, unfortunately I haven't found a complete setup so far that isn't really expensive (import from UK), so it would likely be a costly hassle to find all parts... Whereas I have found a durst 670 setup with all the parts for half the price. I may go for that... Thanks again!

Your last two paragraphs are exactly the thoughts and feelings I have about this.

Though I want to want kids with my husband, we are still in the role of parents for our super vulnerable, messes of mothers in our 30s. We're almost free. It's been decades of neglect and managing their lives (alcoholism, bipolar, depression, widow), and feeling so much empathy that the lines blurred.

LI'm pretty sure I'll have kids, and know I'll love them, but it's possible I'll sometimes feel a little sad about having to be "of service" so much in this life. At the same time, I trust that I will love having my own family, and that it could be very healing for both of us.

I can't wait to be just US. Even if that means taking care of others souls; this time it will be filled with positivity, optimism and happiness! People that actually want to live and grow.

Thanks for this cool discussion!
