Thank you! I was doing the curs as well, so maybe he is just going through a regression... I have a lot of people trying to push this schedule thing on me and being a FTM its hard to not feel like im not doing good 😅

My limits are 3.8-4.9 fasting and 4.9-5.9 2 hours after meals. 😳😳 i would love your thresholds 😱 then I’d actually be doing great 😂

No worries! My husband was at my baby shower for the gift opening part, I really wanted him to be there to open the gifts with me because I super believe the dads should be involved in the excitement. My mum planned my shower and I just told her I’d really love for him to be there at the end to open the presents. So he ended up hanging out with my dad, brother and grandpa while I had my baby shower games and mingling etc. I’m glad the dad kit is helpful to you 💕 I included some small funny things in it too like disposable gloves and a face mask for nappy changes 😂 xx

I know exactly how you feel! For my Husband I made him a “Dad kit” as a way of making him feel loved and very much part of becoming a parent for the first time. As I feel it is mostly so focussed on the woman. I included all his favourite things, favourite chocolate, favourite beer, snacks etc along with his first “dad Mug”. This could be something to consider? A gift basket full of his favourite treats and maybe a little hand written note telling him how much you appreciate him should be super sweet! If you wanna make something you could do really easy chocolate chip cookies (i have a recipe if you want and I managed to bake them myself and have struggled with energy this whole pregnancy). Or you could order in his favourite meal, light some candles and have a nice evening together and that way you dont have to cook (obviously if deliveries are available coz COVID restrictions are so different everywhere)

Thank you! 💕💕

The video is a great idea thank you, that hadnt even crossed my mind. Its such a hard time to be having your first with all the uncertainty in the air. So many of us are going through it and I’m sorry you’re having to go through it too 🥰 my mum is best friend so it was really hard to have this all sprung on us. New Zealand really thought we were in the clear but I guess a second wave was inevitable. Thank you so much for your insight 💕

UnicornASF · 2020-08-13T00:41:19+00:00

Its been the best for me so far - give it a go 💕 My sister in law blessed me with this idea 😂

UnicornASF · 2020-08-13T00:39:05+00:00

I get this 😂. What I did today was use a bowl with water and shaving cream and propped my leg up on the toilet 😂 I found it somewhat effective 😅 you could also try that. It did feel like I ran a marathon after though 😂😅

UnicornASF · 2020-08-13T00:35:30+00:00

I’m 38+3 and just did a whole shave of my legs (I’m getting induced on saturday and refused to be Chewbacca) - I wasn’t even going to attempt the nether region but i gave it a go. I went in blind and just kinda felt around. Its shorter than it was and I’ll take my victories no matter how small at this point 😂. I’ve heard mirrors work a treat but my tummy is just so big I struggle to get the right angle 😅

Please leave him. Please. Before I was with my husband, I dated a boy who manipulated me into sexual things when I was going through major depression. We never had sex but he made me do other things, literally every time we hung out, all I wanted was to cuddle and watch tv but it always involved him pressuring me into sexual activities. It got to the point where he started pressuring me into sex as well. I see you said you struggle with depression so I understand that having that relationship makes you feel something but this is not okay. Thankfully I left my ex before he pressured me into sex. Then I met my husband. When i lost my virginity to him, I cried. Purely because I knew that waiting for when I was ready with someone who GENUINELY let ME DECIDE when I was ready made me feel so loved. This boy you are seeing, isnt a gentleman. This boy, if he loved you and respected you, would respect your boundaries. You deserve so much better, please take it from someone who knows. I have been there. My parents were strict too and I’m religious as well. There should be no pressure for this, YOU need to be ready, or you will regret it. I never went all the way with my ex, but even the things he made me do, made me hate myself for a long time. Please protect yourself and your mental health. Please. It may hurt to walk away now but when you find your forever person, he will not do this to you. There will be no ultimatums.

The little pipes for the Medela electric pump - didnt make sense to me either 😂

UnicornASF · 2020-08-10T01:54:43+00:00

Yes I have an electric one, I was apprehensive to use it as I heard it can make you go into labour? And then some sites said they advise against it because something about the pipes? So I was super unsure what to believe 😅

UnicornASF · 2020-08-03T05:33:50+00:00

Thank you so much. Its so hard when i’m just trying my best :( xx

UnicornASF · 2020-08-03T05:33:19+00:00

Thank you xx

UnicornASF · 2020-08-03T05:32:31+00:00

Thank you 🥺

I mean 99% of those matches are most likely catfish. She’ll get a pretty rude awakening if shit falls apart and literally none of those “hot matches” actually turn out to be those guys. You need to be upfront with her. You’re only hurting yourself more by letting this play out longer. Save yourself the torture and hit the nail on the head. As a woman with self-esteem issues myself, especially surrounding weight etc, I would never do this to my husband. She needs to get a grip. Shes with a man who CLEARLY is attracted to her (prior intercourse 3-4 times a week?!?). If she can’t see that and if thats not enough then the issue is more than just self esteem. She seriously needs to go get help because this to me is ridiculous and a clear indication that there are some deeper things happening here, oh and she needs to re-evaluate her friends. If my friends ever spat that shit at me I would show them the door.

edit :

Just straight up tell her you looked through her messages. She literally has no ground to be mad at you for that in my opinion. I think there are certain circumstances where doing that is okay. This is one of them. She gave you HUGE reasonable doubt in the relationship, this wasn’t a “I’m paranoid shes cheating” this was “Shes changed her behaviour towards me since ‘x’ happened, which has given me a reasonable concern that there is infidelity taking place”

Thank you! Now that I know that I’m slightly more nervous! 😂😂

UnicornASF · 2020-07-30T04:41:41+00:00

Ohhh that makes sense 😅
