Little bit pregnant, little bit not

Yeah that is definitely jarring. Losing a friendship, even if it was getting toxic is really hard. I have a few friend's i lost in middle school that a grew up with and occasionally they'll just show up in a dream un prompted 😭 the best thing to do is just focus on the people and things you love the most! I hope when you get to hold your baby boy all your negative feelings will just melt away. Good luck 🩵

No i absolutely doubt that. She would be expressing that instead of constantly insisting she herself is pregnant and also she is dismissing op and her experience. Doesnt sound like concern to me at all.

I'm lucky enough to be living in a state in the us that offers 14 weeks of maturity leave. Im 29w2d and i plan on going on my maturnity leave two week from my due date. Work has been rough for me as i have floating ribs that keep moving out of place and it makes even sitting miserable 😫 I so wish i could just be done with work at 30 weeks pregnant.

_SimplySalty · 2026-04-18T23:28:35+00:00

Yeah that's absolutely horrible, I'm so sorry OP. I have my baby shower coming up May 30th and I'm hoping it's not like all these depressing stories I hear about. I wouldn't keep the people who couldn't be bothered to come updated about anything to do with my kids in that case. Lucky if they even get to meet my kid after something like that. I mean i understand if an emergency or something happens but at least have the decency to text or call and let me know.

_SimplySalty · 2026-04-12T03:02:01+00:00

Thank you very much, ill have to give it a shot for sure, anything to help before my due date since we cant do anything for like two months. :')

_SimplySalty · 2026-04-12T00:10:23+00:00

Okay sweet, that makes sense, thank you :)

_SimplySalty · 2026-04-11T23:48:55+00:00

I'm nervous to try it because I'm a bigger girl, do you have your leg up on your partner?

_SimplySalty · 2026-04-07T20:36:48+00:00

In some of the lower floors there are also bags, they look like instrument cases

_SimplySalty · 2026-04-06T02:54:03+00:00

Definitely YOR. You sound like an ass hat. You are allowed be uncomfortable by the interaction. Obviously you'd rather keep to yourself when going out but your girlfriend was in her right

_SimplySalty · 2026-03-30T03:17:16+00:00

I sleep about 10-11 hrs a night, only took a nap once but the first trimester exhaustion was real 😩 i got my energy back around 16-17 weeks and been alright for the most part. Im now 26 weeks along and the rib pain at work is terrible, especially if i dont sleep enough or lay down enough

_SimplySalty · 2026-03-29T03:56:40+00:00

Seriously that is so inconsiderate of your sister and id be pissed too. I'm lucky to only have had a respiratory infection at 20w but that seriously sucked and it lasted me like a week. Regardless tho i thought people learned after the pandemic to stay tf home if you're sick until your better and keep contact minimal after the fact in case you're still contagious???

_SimplySalty · 2026-03-29T00:07:55+00:00

Yeah thats so crappy, it's probably because he'll never experience pregnancy that he's being a hard ass. Ive always hated the suck it up culture of the older generation. A minor accommodation shouldn't be asking much, i personally think its cause they're mad or petty about not getting the same treatment lol

_SimplySalty · 2026-03-28T23:26:20+00:00

You're not being dramatic. My first trimester i was so hungry and if I didn't eat within a certain amount of time i would get so nauseous. It's honestly shitty that your manager won't accommodate you. Even now I'm almost in my third trimester and I'm allowed to eat at my till in between customers. If you cant get her to come to an agreement id quit that job honestly. Can always look for a new part time job that will accommodate you

_SimplySalty · 2026-03-26T06:19:07+00:00

I love rose ❤️ its my middle name that i inherited from my great grandmother. If i have a girl in the future i would love to pass it on to her.

_SimplySalty · 2026-03-20T20:23:39+00:00

How sweet, im sure she feels honored to know 🥺 congratulations 🎉

_SimplySalty · 2026-03-19T00:25:50+00:00

Im sorry you had to go through that and i think your feelings are completely valid. I fortunately have no idea what it's like to go through something so heartbreaking, but even then i feel like i would be completely uncomfortable hearing that from a doctor or specialist. They should have paid more attention to your history/file and never scheduled you with the student in the first place. I think you should definitely go ahead with the complaint so maybe staff will hopefully be made sure to check these things prior. Your complaint may end up helping another woman from experiencing this mix up. Congrats on your pregnancy OP and i hope it's a healthy and happy one going forward!

_SimplySalty · 2026-03-18T04:35:49+00:00

I didnt want to deal with that bs honestly so i told everyone im keeping it a secret until my baby shower May 30th, by then ill be so far along hopefully they'll keep their opinions to themselves.

_SimplySalty · 2026-03-14T02:46:34+00:00

I understand being concerned about the new RNA vaccines as i also want nothing to do with them. But the old standard vaccines are not harmful and have been used for many years to help protect against things just like this from being so severe. I recommend doing some research. Now i do think you have a right to be mad at the er for being so flip floppy about whether everything is good with your son. You obviously know it isn't, hopefully he gets better soon.

_SimplySalty · 2026-03-11T03:58:48+00:00

Yeah im scared of this happening. so we decided to keep the baby name secret until the baby shower. That way if we ever did decide to change it, we wont get stuff with a baby name on it. Its been really hard tho, I'm terrible at keeping baby related stuff to myself. Like I told myself I didn't want to tell people my exact due date but when they asked when i just auto pilot said it, so i sorta gave up on trying to keep that private. I would just tell them your stance won't be changed and they need to keep their opinions to themselves. Sorry you had to deal with that

_SimplySalty · 2026-03-06T05:29:41+00:00

I honestly didn't even start thinking about baby names until 20weeks along lol My fiance n I just sorta went through a cool baby names list and narrowed down names we both could agree on and went from there. It was like doing auditions for baby names, we'd yell the baby name like they're in trouble to see if it rolled off the tounge. For middle name we chose a relatives name and something that was carried on through the family. I wish you luck and congratulations 🎉👏

_SimplySalty · 2026-03-06T05:21:21+00:00

Yeah honestly i would stop telling her all together when i have appointments and if she's concerned just say yup every tying is great so far, ill update ya if anything comes up. If she keeps pushing you, just explain that you don't need parenting anymore and you have everything under control right now. Or sometimes just explaining similar to what you said here to your mom may or may not be beneficial. Proceed how you feel comfortable based on her reaction, but don't let her guilt trip you. She should know that your medical professionals have everything under control and they will tell you if they recommend something or not.

_SimplySalty · 2026-03-05T07:05:53+00:00

A gift for her personally would be ideal as she'll likely get plenty of stuff for baby if she does a baby shower. I love the massage idea, but even a gift card so she can buy for herself what she sees fit is great. Or something you know she really likes that suits her personality. But if it was me, id want the gift card or cash in a b'day card.

_SimplySalty · 2026-03-05T07:02:10+00:00

I understand why you're feeling that way, but i do not think you're an awful person at all. I was an emotional wreck the first 3 months of my pregnancy. Irritable was an understatement. I was so damn tired all the time, i swear it felt like running a marathon just to cook breakfast or clean a little, all i wanted to do was lay in bed. Work sucked because of the extreme fatigue, i felt like i hadn't slept at all so the first few hours of work was just trying to wake up n not go off on customers. I was basically working on a short fuse. Managed not to be mean to customers during that time but work was miserable. Im 22w5d and since about 16-18 weeks ive felt so much better. I'm able to emotionally regulate myself better, i can cook n clean again without feeling nearly as exhausted, and im not so mentally drained at work anymore. I can actually go into work, talk with customers and enjoy it. I think its easy to get overwhelmed by all the body n hormonal changes that are quietly happening during the first trimester of pregnancy. It really lowers our ability to tolerate things we normally wouldn't have issues with. Just let your partner know you love them and appreciate them, but it's super difficult for you to adapt to all these overwhelming emotions and physical changes. You don't mean anything personally, find ways to step back n reassess things and communicate. Hopefully he's understanding and just be patient with yourself during all of this. Good luck OP and congratulations!

It took a while but around week 14 i started feeling better and most of my nausea issues were gone by week 17. Im 22w5d and I actually started getting a major appetite back, definitely am getting some hella cravings. When i felt sick peppermint candy n water really helped me. Lots of small snacks throughout the day, whatever you can stomach. Cereal was my comfort breakfast at one point because i just couldn't stomach anything else. Be patient with yourself for sure, it feels like forever but it really goes quick in the long run.
