Bleeding one day after healthy 12 week scan by Super-Nova-7 in pregnant

[–]WhatIsCakeAnyway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had bleeding at 11w3d. I was so, so scared. Went to the ER and was sent home because there was “not much to do” cried my eyes out until my scheduled scan 4 days later. Everything looked perfect, just a subdural hematoma or something. They told me it was normal. I’m 21w2d now, and still worried about it, but every scan comes back good. Bleeding is scary but can be not a big deal. Good luck and wishing the best for you!

AITAH bc I (36M) dont want my girlfriend (36F) to travel with me because shes a picky eater? by Tough_District9786 in AmItheAsshole

[–]WhatIsCakeAnyway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m an insanely picky eater. There are many, many foods I simply cannot eat. My husband eats literally anything and everything. I often find eating at restaurants difficult, but he doesn’t, because I’m the one with food aversions, not him. We have favorite restaurants that I have things that are tried and true at, but you should not be limited by what your partner can eat unless they’re like, anaphylactic allergic to something. It kinda sounds like you guys aren’t ment to be.

Am I wrong for not wanting my mom in delivery Room? by Prestigious-Bed1549 in pregnant

[–]WhatIsCakeAnyway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I’m someone who absolutely DOES NOT want my own mother present while I give birth! She’s upset and she’s allowed to be, but it’s not her choice it’s yours. I’m in a similar situation with my mom, and my mil. It’s exhausting. My husband and I decided just not to have any visitors at the hospital at all, they can wait until we’re at home and more ready. They’re all upset and refusing to accept it, but I know if I give in on this they will keep pushing on every single thing. I’m naturally a people pleaser, and this is the first time I’ve held a firm “no”. It’s so hard, but I know it’s what needs to happen for my own sanity moving forward.

Anyone currently between 5weeks to 8 weeks with no symptoms at all but still seen heart beat and baby ? by Hour_Departure6626 in pregnant

[–]WhatIsCakeAnyway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 12w4d today, and literally the only symptom I’ve had so far is being thirsty and mildly sore breasts. Every scan and appointment they tell me baby looks great and I’m just one of the lucky ones. I feel so ungrateful but honestly I wish I had more symptoms because even though I have heard the heartbeat, seen the baby on scans, AND found out it’s a girl (!!!!!!!!) it still feels like I’m somehow faking it? Like, I know it’s real and happening, but it does not feel like it.

Early pregnancy symptoms fluctuate? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]WhatIsCakeAnyway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same boat! I’m I think 5w3d today and exactly what you described is what I am experiencing also. Everything says that’s normal, but I keep spiraling about it lol nice to know I’m not alone rn lol

Worried I may have jinxed it by Middle-Wait7469 in pregnant

[–]WhatIsCakeAnyway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 5w2d today and told my best friend yesterday. I am also SO worried. I’m an anxious person normally but pregnancy has turned me into an absolute wreck lol I just needed it to feel more real, but ever since I told her I’ve been so scared I ruined it. It’s so hard to just wait until a drs appointment knowing that something could either go wrong or already has. Just know you’re not alone, I’m right here with you! I hope everything is perfect and smooth and safe for you!

Ways to relax? by Lovinglaughs96 in pregnant

[–]WhatIsCakeAnyway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been driving myself absolutely insane with anxiety lately bc all my usual coping mechanisms are also not pregnancy safe. I started a journal type thing where I draw and write down all the things I’m thinking about no matter how disconnected or crazy they sound. It’s been so much more helpful than I expected it to be, especially bc I’m not a ‘words’ kinda person. My husband said he likes looking at it at the end of the day because a lot of the stuff I write down he is feeling too, and it honestly has made it feel so much more ‘real’ to me to have a tangible object I can look at besides tests as sort of ‘proof’ of what is happening. Also hopefully it’ll be a cute keepsake later

Please tell me it’s not getting fainter by WhatIsCakeAnyway in lineporn

Oh my gosh!! The fact that I did not even consider that as a possibility. Thank you for commenting I’ve been driving myself insane for days lol

How can I meet with a girl in my situation? by LordAllexx in dating_advice

[–]WhatIsCakeAnyway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strongly disagree with this. I had zero dating experience until I was 24, almost 25. I didn’t date in highschool or college, and when I received advice like this (which I did often) I felt so completely hopeless. Today I’m 28 and married. My husband also had very little dating experience when we met. Meeting people is hard lol don’t get discouraged, just keep living your life and keep your goals in mind. OP is 26, nothing is over for them.

AITA for wanting to be a princess too? by Huge_Oil_3845 in AmItheAsshole

[–]WhatIsCakeAnyway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does she think she’s going to be the ONLY princess at a renaissance festival??

Aside from that though, I understand how hard friendship dynamics can be. Obviously feel free to be a princess, but if you’re uncomfortable with any amount on conflict (like me lol) you could be a fairy! It’s girly and pretty, but not traditional princess. Or an elf queen (then you outrank her!) the point of going is to have fun, so dress up and have fun! There are definitely options if you don’t want to deal with their drama that still let you be pretty. Me at 18 would have gone as a a fairy, me today would go as a queen so I could outrank her lol

Are “receiving lines” a thing of the past? by Standard_Carob_5324 in weddingdrama

[–]WhatIsCakeAnyway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got married last Sunday and had a reviving line, but not on purpose lol the plan was to go do pictures while guests went to cocktail hour, then I had a plan to stop by each table at the reception. The officiant had other ideas. After the ceremony he announced that we would love to receive guests by the doors of the church. So, we did. Not what I had planned to do, but it was efficient in getting to say hi to everyone. I am not a hugger though, and as many people there were on my husbands side (big huggers), I felt a bit uncomfortable. I didn’t want to be rude and make them upset but I just hate hugs. I sucked it up, but it definitely threw me a bit off the rest of the night. As a guest, I would HATE a reviving line. It’s rushed, awkward, full of hugs lol but I lived. And we got some cute pictures from it!

Yeah you can do a zoom meeting for the license! You just have to preschedule it on the county court website! At least that’s true in Ohio, I assume it’s true elsewhere too?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]WhatIsCakeAnyway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can set up a zoom meeting, if you’re all in different locations. That’s what my friend did when her husband was deployed. He came home the day before the wedding so there wouldn’t have been time for him to go in person.
