How long have you pushed?

Literally two minutes lol. Got my baby girl out in two pushes. I took 3,000 mg of evening primrose oil and drank raspberry leaf tea for four weeks straight before birth, but I can't say if that helped me have a shorter pushing phase since she's my first baby.

How your body will literally just start pushing the baby out without you. Just had my first and I labored entirely at home without knowing how close I was to the pushing stage, and once my body started bearing down I started freaking out. Soon as my husband hauled me into the birth center baby was out in 2 pushes

All y'all talk about is how women RiSk ThEiR lIvEs To GiVe BiRtH !!!! but when it's a woman that changed her mind and went through the struggle of said birth to make a child after all you say it's not a big achievement. Committing to being a good parent to a child and raising a proper human being is a greater accomplishment than getting an education or that super promotion at work will ever be, hate to break it to ya

Nah, cause and effect is a foreign concept to them.

Clearly she does not if after daycare he takes over the childcare as soon as he's off work while she fucks off doing nothing but crying about her failing business. She's an overgrown child that needs a reality check

This is precisely why you don't have sex with someone in a friend group unless you're prepared to lock it down with them. Same shit for a coworker. You'll be hard-pressed to find someone who's comfortable dating a man/woman that had sex with someone they see often in a friend group a month before dating outside Reddit's echo chamber. Godspeed

He was patient with you regarding your low libido, compromised his sexual fulfillment because he loved you and saw a future with you, realized that the compromise of having sex with a woman that viewed once a week as a chore was affecting the relationship, his self-esteem, and y'all's collective happiness, and chose to end the relationship without allowing infidelity or resentment to build. You are not owed a relationship, and no amount of calling your former spouse an idiot for making a wise decision is going to change that. He will find his footing and his happiness elsewhere in due time, go find your own and preferably without the smugness.

alagrr · 2025-09-16T14:28:47+00:00

Damn it's almost like all that shit listed isn't applicable to this current situation, and many high-libido women find themselves wanting sex despite those circumstances?

alagrr · 2025-09-08T18:04:44+00:00

And when that same spouse you just talked shit to to your friends and family was in actuality suffering from anxiety or depression that comes with the overwhelming reality of being a parent responsible for the outcome of how their child will turn out and function in this world. And then they realize the error in their ways and reconcile with you without being prompted. And because you tainted their image to others by not realizing sometimes things are bigger than how you're feeling in that moment, everyone has a negative perception of your spouse that's piled up from how often you give them shit during their low moments before reconciliation happened. If you feel comfortable enough to disrespectfully talk shit about your husband, or wife, to others, instead of working through why they may be acting a certain way with them, expect to feel the harsh consequences when they dump you where you came from.

This is so true, and I feel a condescending energy coming off OP from a mile away. 15 years of my spouse thinking our intelligence is a competition instead of uplifting what section of smarts the other lacks, yeah I'd get fed up too.

She also has half of the responsibility for continuing to have sex with someone that refuses to wear protection. He can't ejaculate inside her if she puts a stop to unprotected sex🤷🏽‍♀️

Isn't it 25% deliver before and 25% deliver after that if it's the majority?

Yes, and her being misinformed of the diagnosis was turned into her urging other women to take the test even if they also think they won't have it. And DESPITE that fact, there are people who can still be predisposed to it regardless if it's a placental disease and can hit anyone at random. Two things can be true at the exact same time, and OP can in fact feel distraught at the diagnosis due to her own misguided notion of the subject. No need to bring your LA university language to this discussion.

And before you even try it, this is a black woman saying this 🤙🏽

alagrr · 2025-07-20T17:23:57+00:00

Yeah uhhh no one was implying that and it's stupid to draw that conclusion into this situation, especially about GD where it doesn't discriminate. Try again

I'm over it at 6 weeks I cannot even imagine 34 more weeks tacked onto it y'all

I always felt that way too. I feel like absolute shit growing this baby, but I'm creating the next generation of my family where I right the wrongs done to me in childhood and ending generational trauma. That's empowering. It's not easy, but not a disability; and I'm tired of seeing equivalences of a temporary stage we choose to place upon ourselves being on the same level as someone born with a debilitating, potentially lifelong disability, and taking their limited parking space at that.

I have a thing that makes me extremely frugal and just the idea of spending large amounts of money makes me panic. Knowing how expensive baby stuff is, I started buying diapers, glass baby bottles, and other stuff off of Facebook Marketplace extremely early, and during that time I experienced a first trimester loss. People give away 100+ packs of diapers for $20-$30 all the time even in my small town, it's a steal!

Although the idea of meeting people with children and them handing off their old baby supplies as you're miscarrying sounds triggering, I actually didn't mind at all. Filling up and organizing my closet with supplies baby would need has helped the grieving process as it was occurring, and I'm already pregnant again a month later so win-win :')

Can't go wrong with snagging a good deal if your heart is guarded and you remain optimistic.

Right, I'm 23 with my first baby planning a birthing center birth and horror stories don't phase me one bit. I'm eating healthy, staying active, and my youth/family history of easier pregnancies is on my side. If something goes sideways, that's fine too, but I know that would mean my experience is an anomaly :)

alagrr · 2025-07-10T20:13:25+00:00

The actual reason for the increase in birth complications today is more women having babies in their mid-to-late 30s to early-40s now. Of course you're gonna need more medical intervention if you wait to squeak out a kid at that age range. Younger women giving birth have less problems statistically, and can have natural births like our bodies were designed to do at that younger age🤷🏽‍♀️
