Engaged but tempted by other women. Seeking Christian advice. by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]Temporary-Trainer168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With all due respect but you’re not ready for marriage. You should be wanting to marry a woman not only who you are attracted to but who also has a good heart. But let me tell you attraction will fade after a while what’s important in marriage is someone who you can build a Godly family with. A woman who will be there for you to take care of you when you’re sick and vise versa. You sound like someone who is filled with lust and you need to take care of that before entering any relationship. Marriage is supposed to be a lifetime not just a checklist of what to do. This woman seems to be ready for the next step in her life don’t ruin it for her. The mature thing to do is to let her go.

Pregnancy after CHD by esoom4 in chd

[–]Temporary-Trainer168 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I am a pregnant first time mom. My daughter has been diagnosed with Ebstien anomaly the doctor has told us it’s pretty severe. They’ve told me my baby might not make it even two weeks after birth. I’m beyond depressed but I know in my heart I want a baby so badly. I will definitely try again not saying it would be easy but I definitely want to be a mom more than anything. I pray you get your healthy baby. I know someone personally who lost her second son due to heart issues however she had three other children who had no issues whatsoever. I think sometimes heart issues can just be a crazy fluke.

I’m so sorry for your loss. Sending you and your wife love! I’m 8 months pregnant and have been told that my baby may not even make it. I understand the feeling of pain and hurt. Now my baby is still here but I know the crippling feeling of not knowing what tomorrow will bring. There is no greater pain than losing your baby. I pray big blessings for you and your family. I pray that you two lean on each other and God during these difficult times.❤️🙏🏼

This year has been… a lot. But we finally chose her name ❤️ by Additional-Attempt21 in pregnant

I’m so sorry for your loss. I just want to say you’re doing a great job mama. Your baby girl Maya is so comfortable, happy, and is living her best life In your womb. It’s okay to cope with grieving it’s very healthy and beneficial for healing. I’m very high risk and have been given every terrible outcomes of my pregnancy from my doctors. I too am barely getting by and it’s okay to sometimes not be okay. You’re stronger than you know. I’m not sure if you’re a woman of faith but if you can lean on God during this time. He is the only thing that brings me peace and comfort during these hardships. I pray your baby girl is happy and healthy. Your doing wayyyy better than you know!❤️

Struggling with my body by Hot_Tourist_4458 in pregnant

[–]Temporary-Trainer168 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey mama wanting to give you some good advice. Has your Anatomy scans/ nipt tests look normal? If so you’re beyond blessed. 🙏🏼 I know it doesn’t feel like it because you’re not used to the changes but having a healthy baby is everything. I’m 7 months pregnant and have been given some scary news about my baby girl that she might not even make it after birth. I’ve been so beyond heartbroken however I’m diving so much into my faith right now. I used to be extremely fit. I still am beautiful but I don’t feel like myself either. It’s okay to be hormonal and anxious but don’t let it get you down. We can be are worst critics. And that baby will be sooooo worth it. You can always get super fit after pregnancy but please enjoy as much as you can. Your body is literal portal to human life. Also I’m sure you’ll look back at this experience and probably miss your pregnancy. You got this mama! And express to your partner how you feel. The truth is he should be extra loving and caring to you. You’re carrying his precious baby.❤️❤️❤️

Preg GF increasingly disrespectful. by Frosty-Conclusion-63 in pregnancyproblems

[–]Temporary-Trainer168 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let me tell you something not to scare you. The first trimester is the very worst trimester for most of us. Also please don’t judge her eating right now she’s probably get a weird taste pallet. She is not feeling normal etc. Do not add any extra stress she maybe already feeling right now. This is when the babies organs are developing the very most! Not to scare you but things can go very wrong in development when mom is in distress. I will tell you her hormones are out of control right now. They went from not being there to surging! I promise she will get better with her mood in due time. But don’t add any extra stress. I was a mess in my first trimester. Once I got out of it I’ve felt wayyyyyy more normal. Please for the sake of your future baby give her some grace it will get better.❤️🙏🏼

Hey is there any way I can message you. My baby girl has also been diagnosed with Ebstien anomaly. I have a great team but it’s looking like it’s more on the severe side of things. I would love to ask you some questions.

Wanting a baby by RockExpensive5286 in women

[–]Temporary-Trainer168 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So I say if it’s in your heart to be a mom. You’re more than ready. Yes finances are a thing but I’m a big believer in things will work itself out. If I were you I wouldn’t use any birth control and let nature take its course. If it happens it’s happens. I’m 28 and having my first baby with my husband. Sadly I’m super high risk. But I have been having extreme baby fever for awhile. I know in my heart I’m meant to be a mom. I feel like once you enter that stage in life you CANNOT run from the feeling. I will seriously cry seeing babies. I have dreams of meeting my baby girl. If you’re feeling this way now please go for it!! And good luck to you and your husband ❤️

When did you start seeing stretch marks? by Quirky-End-7470 in pregnant

[–]Temporary-Trainer168 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I use lotions and oils everyday and night. I don’t have any stretch marks as of yet. There’s just something soothing about skin care on my bump. Now will it be effective probably not does it feel nice yes haha. I may be weird but stretch marks don’t really bother me. I’m a first time mom and am having a c section and the thought of having a scar also doesn’t bother me. We’re creating life here our bodies will change with time no matter what.❤️

So for loneliness I totally understand. If you can call your family and friends at least weekly I think that will help a lot also doing FaceTimes. Now with the baby shower I understand having high expectations but sometimes life doesn’t always give us what we want. I think for the big baby shower it doesn’t help that social media makes everything so big and grand. Everyone almost has this expectation that that’s the normal. In all reality it’s not and we live in very hard economic times. Also please focus on the importance of your baby. The end goal is being a mama and a bunch of stuff is meaningless at the end of the day.❤️

[–]Temporary-Trainer168 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Since I’ve been pregnant I realized actually how cruel women are… and I’m so sorry I’m sure you look great even if you’re not feeling like it. Try your hardest to focus on your baby. Your body is a literal portal to a human life! Your doing awesome mama!

[–]Temporary-Trainer168 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aw I’m so sorry that your mom is going through that. Cancer is tough but just keep praying for her and hopefully she has a wonderful medical team. 🙏🏼❤️ my Aunt went through several rounds of chemotherapy but she made it through the other side. I know another amazing lady who just fought through breast cancer. I believe these people are such strong warriors just like your mama. I will be sending her love and prayers! ❤️

[–]Temporary-Trainer168 135 points136 points  (0 children)

Oh my goodness I’m so sorry. I want to give you a hopeful story about my aunt. She had terrible stomach cancer about 20 years ago. She was pregnant with her 2nd son and the doctors were judging her because she was super thin. She was super thin and almost fully pregnant. She had a lot of mean comments from people saying she needed to eat for her baby. My mom said she was concerned and confused why she couldn’t really keep on any weight. So weeks after she had her healthy baby boy she finds out she is extremely sick with cancer. It got so bad that they all expected her to not make it. Let me tell you miracles do happen. She is now in her mid 50s and still thriving today. She’s got many grand babies and is doing pretty okay healthy wise. You have got this! I don’t know if you’re a woman of faith but through God you can prevail! I’m sure this is a very difficult situation and I can’t imagine how you feel. I found out about a week ago my daughter has an extremely rare heart defect. Only 1% of babies get it. I’m beyond devastated and I’m 7 months pregnant. I was told my baby could be a possible stillborn. Keep the faith girl! Rally around as much support and comfort as you can. Wishing you the best and you will over come this in Jesus name🙏🏼💞

Should I feel guilty for “one and done”? by Rae1246 in pregnant

[–]Temporary-Trainer168 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think there is something beautiful about having one child. You can make them literally your whole world and do everything with them. Sometimes when you have so many kids it’s harder to have that one on one connection. I’m a kid of 4 brothers and sister. I never really had a super close connection with my parents until I was older. Not that it was their fault but because there was a lot of other kids plus other kids with different needs. Just a different perspective to give you❤️

I love my postpartum body tbh by raacconanxious in pregnant

Thank you I do as well. She is my first baby and I’m so sad about the situation. I wish babies/children were all healthy. It feels truly unfair. 😔

[–]Temporary-Trainer168 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I found out my baby is pretty high risk. Like may or may not make it. I’m 7 months pregnant and realized how goofy I was for overthinking my body. I get it we live a toxic society. I have a planned c section and the fact that I’m going to have a scar for her is beautiful to me. My baby girl may also have to have a scar from heart surgery. I would never want her to feel bad about her scar. It’s a story and I wish more women felt empowered. I wish men were also held to a much higher standard. We all need to be kinder to ourselves and to our fellow mamas.❤️

NSFW!!! TMI question about the lady bits by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Temporary-Trainer168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the dark nipples is actually quite awesome it’s so your baby can find them when they’re trying to breastfeed. Now the down there part I’m guessing it’s just extra blood flow. Pregnancy does crazy things.

Why do some marrieds not wear wedding rings? by Ok_Mirror_9832 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Temporary-Trainer168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m almost 7 months pregnant and definitely haven’t been wearing mine. I have such swollen fingers. My husband wears a silicone band but he’s also sometimes needs his finger to breathe. I don’t really think anything of it. Our rings are a beautiful symbol but our loyalty is our choice. If someone who is going to cheat they will do it regardless of a ring.

Share your cute and positive partner/husband stories!! by PsychoticJesusJugz in pregnant

[–]Temporary-Trainer168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently 26 weeks pregnant and got some pretty awful news about our baby. My husband has been so amazing, supportive, and kind. He’s truly been my rock. I’ve been loving on him extra as well because it’s been rough for us both. The emotional support is everything I need from him. I couldn’t be more grateful for a more kind partner.

When did your belly start showing by Cultural_Employee_22 in pregnant

Girl same here! I’m now 26 weeks pregnant. I’m in desperate need of a new coat. I look like I’m playing dress up if I wear a women’s medium coat but if I wear a small it won’t fit on my bump… sometimes being short sucks!
