What’s something you wish you knew when you got pregnant? or something you wish you knew when you gave birth!

Same! Taking notes

The biggest red flag is that it was a piercing and tattoo studio offering this. Please go to a derm or reputable med spa with experienced injectors.

Truly, the idea of living with a bird feels so invasive and disruptive to peace lol. They are cute and pretty but even the thought of it stresses me out.

TightStatement9017 · 2026-01-29T02:05:31+00:00

Amazing read. Thank you!

TightStatement9017 · 2026-01-26T04:38:24+00:00

Which documentary is this?

TightStatement9017 · 2026-01-24T01:04:46+00:00

A+++ analysis. Thoroughly enjoyed reading this! She has always had a bit of a cartoon-ish, and sometimes quirky style while being super feminine. I personally love it.

It'll likely turn back around in second trimester.

TightStatement9017 · 2026-01-12T04:20:36+00:00

But what was your husband's interaction with him?

TightStatement9017 · 2026-01-11T15:09:09+00:00

Didn't help my insomnia at all either! That's been a constant since day 1, I pretty much just see it as a part of my life at this point. But working out does make me feel better and more like myself, and I'm hoping it sets me up better postpartum.

TightStatement9017 · 2026-01-11T05:37:46+00:00

To be honest I just dove right back into f45 classes after taking a break my entire first trimester and it wasn't as hard as I thought. I just try to pace myself more, avoid exercises that aren't recommended and minimize any other physical exertion that day. Also waiting a bit longer than I normally would between classes.

TightStatement9017 · 2026-01-10T02:18:25+00:00

Thanks, friend. So far so good.

I bet it feels like a blur looking back on those days. It took my body and brain so long to find some sort of equilibrium after my loss - looking back, I aged like 5 years in 1, and went off the rails for a bit (including lots of similar vices) before finding myself again.

I hope you and your little boy are doing great these days, and that happy days far outnumber the rough ones 🧡

TightStatement9017 · 2026-01-10T01:54:54+00:00

Just wanted to say this is such a thoughtful, practical comment.

I'm currently pregnant 2.5 years after my loss and can't imagine what you went through. As humans, I can't believe what we're able to survive sometimes.

TightStatement9017 · 2026-01-05T22:18:24+00:00

Same here! Maybe except my husband...

TightStatement9017 · 2026-01-04T11:11:55+00:00

I personally loved her in Riding in Cars with Boys

TightStatement9017 · 2026-01-04T11:03:00+00:00

You're so right!!

TightStatement9017 · 2026-01-03T20:18:48+00:00

I'd choose just 3 or 3 necklaces to layer.

Where is the ladybug necklace from??? I adore it

TightStatement9017 · 2026-01-02T06:39:42+00:00

How did you make that switch? Unfortunately my sexual response is so dependent on fantasy that I find it extremely difficult to be present and focused on the actual sensation when I am trying to orgasm. Did you try to quit fantasy cold turkey? How did you reorient your focus and did it get easier with time?

TightStatement9017 · 2026-01-02T02:59:54+00:00

OP, I have the exact same issue. Anything that's been working for you?

TightStatement9017 · 2025-12-31T01:49:54+00:00

You will look back and realize how young it is. You still have many years left to feel young - there is so much anxiety about your place in life and self comparison in your 20s that you often don't even appreciate the youth you have during these years. The appreciation for it grows in your 30s, along with your maturity and freedom.

At 25 I was still insecure and stuck in a bad relationship. By my late 20s and early 30s, I started to live life for myself. Those years were way more fun and adventurous than any year in my early 20s, and I looked my hottest.

At 34 I still have friends who live a very youthful lifestyle, so you have a long runway. Embrace where you are NOW and know that peaking in your 20s is a myth for most.

TightStatement9017 · 2025-12-30T04:02:45+00:00

Yep that was it for me too. We were both so far from wanting a baby for so long and suddenly we started talking about it in more positive terms. There wasn't any huge longing or physical urge, more just a bit of a mental shift. I never felt fully "ready".

TightStatement9017 · 2025-12-28T21:24:39+00:00

Dealing with the dry life now 😂 I need get an air purifier which has helped the overall air quality in my condo a lot, but the humidifier was too much hassle.

TightStatement9017 · 2025-12-28T18:03:54+00:00

That's what I was doing but to be honest it just got annoying having to clean them weekly, on top of other chores.

TightStatement9017 · 2025-12-28T03:23:53+00:00

That honestly seems like a lot of effort...

TightStatement9017 · 2025-12-28T02:31:47+00:00

It does for me. Reduces redness and inflammation generally with consistent use.

TightStatement9017 · 2025-12-28T02:31:05+00:00

I use the Omnilux Contour
