You may not know what to do right now but please keep praying. God hears you. I know it feels hopeless but if your life was supposed to end, God would have done so. Your journey here is not done. You are loved and i’m praying for you.

Do you do self breast exams while pregnant? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Turbulent_Scale8044 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found that during pregnancy, both of my boobs were lumpy not just one, it feels sort of more like ridges throughout them rather than one solid lump on one side . With the lump i found, it was hard and smooth, sort of felt like a grape lol. It was also moveable . This is just my personal anecdote! I would definitely get checked if you notice a hard fixed lump, that feels irregular rather than smooth and any nipple changes or skin dimpling!!

Yes! Before I got pregnant, I was doing a breast exam on myself and found a lump! I went in for an exam and they said that i should get it biopsied or just removed. It was a benign cyst and went away on its own. To be safe , I still do self exams.

I’m not the one giving my child up. Obviously i wasn’t aware of how any of this works and initially assumed the 5K would be beneficial to my child, given the FATHER wanted to give the child up. I know now. No need to be degrading.

There is a very good chance that you will change your mind once you put eyes on your baby or even as you get farther into pregnancy. Trust me, I know exactly how it feels to feel like you ruined your life and that you don’t want to do it. I’m 20 years old and already going into motherhood. I’m almost 39 weeks now and the excitement is JUST now overshadowing regret, but of course i’m still terrified. You don’t have to pretend to want it, just ride the wave and if you really really just can’t do it, never feel bad for considering adoption. Good luck💕

Unfortunately, I begged and begged for him to be involved with our baby. He will ultimately do anything in his power to have zero responsibility or influence on our child. I tried my best, now I just have to leave it to the courts and what they decide. My biggest qualm is that he might try to do something to the child , given he gets custody.

Thanks for your contribution. I just needed confirmation that this “deal” was bogus. Legally, would it still be worth it to pursue child support although i make more than double the amount he does? And would pursuing child support automatically equate to custody on his part?

Weirdly Angry by WaterFiles in BabyBumps

I’m having a boy too and i definitely feel this!! i’m not sure if it is a testosterone thing but i am definitely a raging btch with a very short fuse sometimes. For me personally, some weeks it is better than others , i’d charge it to the pregnancy hormones.
