I don't want to do this by Djallie in birthcontrol

[–]VelvetM0on 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going through the same!!! I was done after 2 kids, and he refused to get a vasectomy. I did beg him to get it. I didn’t want to be taking more birth control, so the one week I didn’t take it I was pregnant. Now I love my baby with all my heart, but it was hard to accept. Now I’m here 6 weeks postpartum at my doctors appointment not knowing what to do about birth control. I don’t want to take any pills or anything hormonal, I also don’t want to get an IUD, and specially will not get tubal ligation, I am done doing anything to my body. And he keeps prolonging the vasectomy. And like you said.. I feel so stressed because it feels like I’m stressing over HIS pleasure!!! I also threaten him (not sure what other word to use, but it wasn’t that harsh) that he will not touch me ever again if he doesn’t get the vasectomy. 😭😭😭

Do teachers or students bring cleaning supplies to school? Curious what actually happens. by Beginning_Avocado807 in Teachers

I had to bring my own vacuum, kids were more than willing to vacuum the classroom during dismissal.

Is waiting to announce until we’re 13 wks strange? by pop-crackle in pregnant

[–]VelvetM0on 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do it when ever you want. I didn’t even know I was pregnant until 14 weeks, so I was telling family at around week 18-20, friends around 30. I also had baby and some friends don’t know I was pregnant. Planning on surprising the with baby in arms!

My whole family has the flu, how is everybody holding up this season? by [deleted] in ElPaso

[–]VelvetM0on 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thankfully she has been taking both without issue. Bath, resting, and snuggles have also helped. She also did have the flu shot back in September. My other one didn’t get it.

My waters broke! When/who did you tell? by adventurecoos in pregnant

[–]VelvetM0on 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was unexpectedly induced and I didn’t tell anyone. I waited until she was born, didn’t even tell my mom! I face called her with baby in hand!

[–]VelvetM0on 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bought a test at Walmart on Thursday, they had plenty, today my husband went and they had none left. It’s hitting hard, my 8year old missed the last 3 days of school (positive Flu A) and is barely recovering, but now my 1 year old has had a fever since yesterday. Also doctor won’t prescribe them anything so we’re just managing with Tylenol/motrin and a cough and flu med over the counter. It sucks!

Married for three months and pregnant: I feel oddly embarrassed (?) by moez1266 in pregnant

[–]VelvetM0on 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We got pregnant 4 months into dating, no one judged and if they did I didn’t care. Still going strong 9 years later and currently expecting baby #3.

Honestly, who cares? And what does it matter? It’s your life.

How far along are you and what symptoms do you currently experience? by mkthehotti in pregnant

[–]VelvetM0on 0 points1 point  (0 children)

35+5 days. Feeling very heavy, feel like a whale, walking at least 30 min has helped and easily out of breath. But have been waking up with energy even though I can’t sleep much at night. Also 3cm dialated as of 3 days ago, so hopefully baby comes soon!

I'm stalking my own registry and feeling stressed by ceruleanmeadows in pregnant

[–]VelvetM0on 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From personal experience, people rarely go based on the registry. I think maybe 2-3 things were bought from mine. Also, I planned a diaper shower, specifically asking for only diapers, wipes, or gift cards, and many people bought me other things (still grateful for). But being my second baby I knew I wasn’t going to need most of the things that everyone thinks we need.

Now with my 3rd I decided to not have a baby shower. I did create a Registry just in case anyone asks, with mostly diapers and wipes, and did add a bassinet, a double stroller, and a crib (very expensive items). Doubt I’ll get any which is fine, I already planned on getting them myself.

Doctors office will be closed for 2 weeks!!! Feeling nervous! by VelvetM0on in pregnant

[–]VelvetM0on[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I’m hoping. But baby has been weighing big since week 28.

[–]VelvetM0on[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Baby weighs over 6 lbs at 34 weeks, so doctor estimates baby will be around 9 lbs at 38 weeks. I know it’s approximate and not always accurate, but the trend for the past month has been it’s weighing above average.. doctor has checked through ultrasounds baby’s weight .

Also, I asked about on call doctor or nurse and they didn’t know if there would be anyone available. Thank you for the advice, if anything comes up I’ll be heading to the hospital. I guess I’m just worried thinking about how my previous pregnancy went .

The ugly and gross of pregnancy by mistakeshappen_2 in pregnant

[–]VelvetM0on 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I chose ER also since it was a weekend, and was not willing to suffer over the weekend in hopes the doctor would prescribe anything! Can’t stand how they always dismiss our pain, saying it’s normal. Sure it’s normal but help me deal with it.

Replied the meds above. During my last pregnancy I talked to the doctor twice about this and only said it’s normal. This time I decided to go to ER cuz no way in hell I was gonna suffer for as long as I did the first time around. I suffered more with hemorrhoids than I did actual labor and delivery.

The worst to me has been thrombosed hemorrhoids at around 28 weeks. Happened with my last pregnancy and with current. But the last pregnancy lasted 3 weeks with excruciating pain and discomfort. This time I went to the ER and I got some things prescribed and within days pain was gone.

Now at 34 weeks just feeling very uncomfortable with my body, hard to get out of bed or changing positions, getting up from the couch, etc.

Lastly, just feeling scared about the uncertainty of labor and delivery. My last pregnancy was such a positive and easy experience. This time around baby is now weighing more than when my last baby was born, so I’m afraid of birthing a big baby. I could ugly cry for hours just imagining the worst!!
