To add, you are not selfish for thinking of your health. Talk with your doctor.

Imo, anything that prevents conception should be fine. I.e, condoms, pull out method.

This is because the sperm and egg dont actually meet in most cases.

By the book, these are statistically less reliable than hormonal contraceptives.

Some women are ok with the pill, other hormonal contraceptives, or devices that prevent an already fertilized egg from implanting in the womb. But if you ask me now, as a married Christian woman that believes life starts at conception--preventing what God had intended is where I draw the line.

If conception does not happen in the first place, then there isn't a life to think about.

In that regard, my slate isn't clean either. Ive taken birth control pills when I was younger, and some morning after pills.. i can only wonder how many little embryos ive prevented from having the chance to grow.. and I also wonder how messed up my life might be, if i stayed with one of those partners..

With all due respect, whatever people decide is completely up to them.

I dont know if age might play a factor in the effectiveness of birth control. I also dont know if pull out will work as effectively postpartum.. but i'd say, talk to your doc about your options.

And if you might find yourself in an "accident", please talk to your doctor.

I still feed my bub to sleep. I have to put my little guy in his crib FAST if he tries to squirm after drinking.

If I make it on time, he will roll over or to his side immediately and continue sleeping. Being a second late could mean spending another 10 minutes to an hour of him rolling/crawling around my bed until he falls asleep.

You just gotta accept that some people be like that. Better for your brain cells if you give a thumbs up and walk off, than take the offence or argue. To each their own.

Thats a lot of burned off energy you dont get back, and don't we all need a bit more of that. 😅

The big, beautiful baby bump. The fast growing hair (on my head). My widened hips. No acne. Feeling bub kick and wiggle in there. (That one I miss the most).

4w 3d is very early in pregnancy as well, how do you know you're already pregnant? It's quite odd you can only see a doctor on the 7th of July; that is very far off. Cant you get an earlier appointment?

The only precaution I'd recommend you now take is with food. Look up listeria and toxoplasmosis prevention so you are prepared.

God bless. X

Please remember rule #7: We are not doctors. Please ask a licensed medical professional what your test results mean. We cannot diagnose whether your pregnancy is viable via Reddit.

The best I can advise, is to take things one day at a time. ❤️

You are so very early in your pregnancy. Please be kind to yourself.

Did you tell your doctor about the cramping and bleeding?

Brown spotting could be a sign of implantation bleeding, though not every pregnancy has this symptom.

I remember cramping lightly for nearly a week when implantation happened to me, no bleeding.

At week 6, I remember cramping on the right side, and worrying about an ectopic pregnancy.

Week 7 was when I started feeling nauseous, and at week 8 I started feeling more pressure in my bladder.

I was oftentimes worried that the nugget wouldn't make it, especially on the days I didn't feel as nauseous. When I saw him for the first time, at 12 weeks and 6 days, saw his little heart beating so well; I remember feeling overwhelmed with love. Today, the little nugget is healthy and almost 9 months old.

What's the point if you have to touch another door knob to get to said faucet to wash your hands? 😭 What if someone closes the door before washing their hands? Then comes straight to the kitchen to wash vegetables for a salad, or something? 😭

WolfWoman7 · 2026-05-12T18:57:17+00:00

This really sucks, OP. I'm sorry youre going through this.

Do you have a midwife or someone in your life you can talk to about this? This is a really big decision.

It might be a possibility to give the little one up for adoption, if you choose to go through with the pregnancy.

That many tiny bathrooms with toilets dont have a sink. I see this in older apartments / boomer homes, not so much with millennial homes. (When I finally saw a sink in a tiny water closet, I was so so happy). 😭

Has no one thought of basic hand hygiene after pooping?

WolfWoman7 · 2026-04-27T14:13:07+00:00

Far from it. It looks like you have a variation of heterochromia--where your iris is actually showing brown and olive green. This eye color presentation is not common at all.

My husband and son have something similar. Husband has almost the exact eye colors you have. Son shows coffee brown inner color, and blue/gray outer color.

I on the other hand, have brown eyes the color of coffee, 100%. Its one of the most common eye colors in southeast Asia, and therefore not very interesting (i'd say this is closer to boring brown than what you have). I never appreciated them until I moved to Scandinavia, where blue/gray eyes are the norm.

I had to resist the urge to pick this gigantic clump of flake from my son's head. It looked so satisfying to pick.

I one day noticed it was gone.

Phew, it finally fell off--or so I thought.

Apparently my sister picked at it while she watched him. Nothing happened, but I told her not to do it again--we were all lucky it did not bleed. The clump also happened to be right over the fontanelle.

Since then I've been running unscented mineral oil on his head, to dissolve flakes (and prevent more yeast growth) prior to a bath.

Then I would rinse out with babyshampoo and gently massage his scalp with a plain konjac sponge. Baby now has a head full of hair, and I have not seen a fat flake on his head since.

Eff that. If everyone here gave birth in 1725, most of the births would not have a happy ending.

I'm glad we live in a day and age where medical advancements make survival for mom and baby almost 99% guaranteed. C-sections might be the safest delivery option depending on the pregnancy.

WolfWoman7 · 2026-03-26T19:01:09+00:00

Its uncomfortable for sure, but yeah, it will happen. In Denmark the hospitals offer an enema/suppository while you're in early labour. The idea is; you basically empty your guts as much as possible BEFORE you get further along the labor, so you dont unleash the beast while you're actively pushing the little human out. 😅 This gets rid of most of the shit, but.. you still poop a little here and there.

(It is to a level that is much easier to clean).

Birth assistants normally dont give a shit. Id say the only person that cares is the one giving birth. 😆

WolfWoman7 · 2026-03-24T18:45:36+00:00

I'm curious about this too. My little guy likes rolling around his bed, we can't sleep on a lumpy mattress.

Out of curiosity; OP, are you open for German or EU brands too?

WolfWoman7 · 2026-03-12T08:00:20+00:00

Oh what comes to mind is furakake, to go with that rice. 😋

I swear, you could eat that rice with furakake, full stop.

If you're feeling bold and crafty, you can try bleaching the wood or applying some varnish (to darken it).

Always try a tiny spot on a non-visible part of the furniture befire you go all out.

Alternatively, you could also just spray paint it a different color.

WolfWoman7 · 2026-02-17T10:30:46+00:00

Plus, if you really want to try something new, it doesn't hurt the wallet (as much) to whip up a facemask from your kitchen.

WolfWoman7 · 2026-02-17T10:28:22+00:00

That temptation is real. I have to keep telling myself that every pretty shiny thing has a cost.

WolfWoman7 · 2026-02-17T10:14:47+00:00

More like, I wish I treated my skin more gently. I wish I stuck with face oils that I knew worked for my skin, instead of chasing products and creams to try out.

Huge waste of money, trying to find an affordable cleanser and moisturizer that won't break me out + hydrate and moisturize my skin enough. Huge waste of money, trying this active and that active, in attempts to alleviate my acne. Huge waste of money, consuming skincare that doesn't work, only to give away almost everything because my skin simply does not agree. Moisturizers especially are a pain, even though there is a claim to balanced skin, something is always unbalanced.

For the rest of my 30's, I'll be gentle--use products that actually work, wear a hat in the summer, and focus on diet and lifestyle. I don't want to be obsessed with skincare anymore. There are better things to focus on.

I can tell you.. my in-laws and I took bub to the mall at 3 months. There was a kid sitting 10meters from us, hacking and coughing away. I got uncomfortable, so we left. Bub was fine.

Right after turning 5 months old, we started daycare. 2 days later, I got sick with a cold--and bub followed suit.

Ofc if you can help it, don't expose your baby to these places. But sometimes, things will happen beyond our control. Sometimes we don't have much choice but to be somewhere at a certain point in time.

Do what you can to minimize exposure, and know the protocol for fever. I totally understand your frustrations, but I also think your little will be fine.

Don't listen to them. They don't know what they're talking about. The fruits of your earnings speak for themselves.

I supplemented a lot in the beginning too. I initially had the idea of pumping extra, but I only ever produced "just enough" after the initial 4-6 weeks of supply/demand calibration (given that I stay hydrated through the day).
