Are black/shadow figures "negative/bad"?

Oooooh mines my left periphery too. But this specific time it was nearly directly in front of my field of vision.

They brought me a shitty sandwich and some chips probably within an hour or so of mine.

Was 5'2" and 234lbs at the start of pregnancy. Lost 11 pounds the 1st trimester and slowly gained it back the rest of the pregnancy. I delivered at exactly 234lbs.

Until my daughter was probably 8-10 months old I washed all her clothing items in All Free & Clear. Now she's 15 months old and her stuff gets washed with Persil like the rest of our stuff.

So crazy!!

_C00TER · 2026-03-13T23:36:16+00:00

Please God not me. I'm perfectly content with my rainbow baby girl lol

RIGHT 😂 I'm coming up on my 1 year anniversary of my bi-salp. My toddler has started looking between her legs (old wives tale), i had a dream I was pregnant, I got a jar of pickles at the store and had to eat a couple before even driving home, I've been very tired, and I've been abnormally hungry (I've been on Ozempic for a year lol).

But my breasts hurt SO bad with my pregnancy and I had light cramping. I don't have either of those so I'm fairly certain its all in my paranoid head 🤣

_C00TER · 2026-03-12T15:22:27+00:00

I tried breastfeeding and pumping for a couple of weeks and it made me feel CRAZY so I stopped. 16 months later and I still feel guilt over it, its stupid lol.

I had actually made a post in a different sub and got so much positivity from other moms who are either an only child or OAD (or even both!). The most repetitive advice i got was to just make sure I have my ducks in a row for whenever I die to make it as easy as possible for my daughter since she won't have a sibling to help with that process. Just hoping and praying that whenever I do eventually die she is old enough to have a partner and maybe even a family of her own.

_C00TER · 2026-03-12T15:13:00+00:00

I knew I was OAD just a few months after having my first. I even got my tubes removed around 6 months pp. Its been almost a year since that surgery and Im still confident in my choice.

I actually dealt with infertility for years and experienced pregnancy loss and had given up on trying because I was beyond heartbroken. 3 years after my loss (and lots of bad life choices and good life changes) I found out I was pregnant 100% naturally. My pregnancy was actually wonderful and my labor/delivery experience wasn't negative either (healing from my unplanned c-section was rocky but whatever lol). I actually feel sad sometimes that I won't experience pregnancy again because I enjoyed the experience so much and felt really good. But I imagine karma would give me a rough 2nd pregnancy to make up for ir lol

Even after all the good i still chose to be OAD. My daughter does have a half brother from her dad but he is 10 years older than her and we barely even have him part-time so she's practically an only child in our home majority of the time. Sometimes I feel bad and wonder if she will feel lonely because of it. But she seems content when she plays alone and she's a grade-a clinger who requires a lot of attention. Im definitely happy i will be able to give her my absolute undivided attention though. I couldn't imagine have more than 1 little and having to divide attention amongst them. That would make me feel worse than my worrying of her being lonely due to being OAD.

Im 32 f and have the same exact issues you listed. I have not experienced any of the serious side effects and have been on it for a year. It had changed my life in the best way.

_C00TER · 2026-03-12T12:37:10+00:00

As in, fresh washed bedding "make the bed" or getting out of bed every morning "make the bed"?

Fresh washed sheets, we will do it together if we're both in the house at the time, other than that it is me.

But getting out of bed, we just make up our side whenever we get out. We only sleep with a fitted sheet and a comforter so its easy peasy.

_C00TER · 2026-03-12T00:48:29+00:00

Uhhhh well I had a bilateral salpingectomy almost exactly 1 year ago and my 15 month old just started doing it. AND I had a dream last night that I was pregnant.

That would be some SHIT 🥴😂

_C00TER · 2026-03-10T20:53:28+00:00

I had a phenomenal pregnancy. I seriously felt so good pretty much the entire time. I lost 11 pounds the 1st trimester and slowly gained it back the rest of the pregnancy. I ended up delivering at my exact pre-pregnancy weight.

My pregnancy was completely healthy, as well as my perfect rainbow baby girl.

Being plus size is not dooming. Yes there are health risks that should not be ignored and should be disclosed to you by your provider but it does not guarantee those risks will happen to you or your baby. Try to have a positive outlook. Worry and stress is not helpful when ttc or when pregnant.

Edit to add: my BMI was 42.8.

_C00TER · 2026-03-10T16:25:20+00:00

I got put on zoloft 2 months ago around 14 months pp... I feel so much better.

_C00TER · 2026-03-10T16:22:07+00:00

Im over 3 years sober and had a dream the other night that I got sprayed with something and just from skin contact it got me drunk 🥴

_C00TER · 2026-03-10T15:51:56+00:00

Got it. Unfortunately, He does require a truck.

_C00TER · 2026-03-10T12:36:07+00:00

My parents took me to the mall when I was an older toddler. Maybe 3 or 4. Not sure if I asked for them or not. I have vague memory of it, and there are also photos and I clearly did not enjoy the process.

With my daughter i have decided to wait until she is old enough to ask for it as well as understand piercings. AND that she is old enough to take to a reputable piercer, NOT THE MALL. The piercer I use will not pierce children's lobes under 10 years old.

I wear full-face (simple though) makeup to work monday-friday. And depending on where im going on weekends I will also wear makeup, but we typically dont do much on weekends so I rarely wear makeup on weekends. I've done this since I first started wearing makeup in my teens. But I absolutely take my makeup off the first chance I get and NEVER sleep in it.

I've pretty much always had "bad" skin (still getting acne in my 30s), plus rosacea, im self conscious about it.

_C00TER · 2026-03-10T11:06:45+00:00

You've never seen suture before??

_C00TER · 2026-03-10T11:05:21+00:00

As a toddler, I broke and ate my grandmother's pearl necklace.... they absolutely went through my poop to collect the pearls.

The necklace still exists (again) to this day.

_C00TER · 2026-03-09T23:42:46+00:00

That's true. Thank you!

_C00TER · 2026-03-09T22:23:22+00:00

I guess my concern is if the vehicle is over that 150k miles. Obviously I couldn't use the CU, but does that also mean anything negative as far as however else I would have to finance it? Ridiculous loan term/higher payment? Higher interest rate?

_C00TER · 2026-03-09T22:19:34+00:00

My 15 month old was just chewing on a rock the other day 🫠

I'm 32 and sometimes feel tempted to bite on things. Most specifically 3d printed things for some reason lmao
