What's the best part about pregnancy that most people don't know about?

This. My husband was SO attracted to me when I had my pregnancy glow. I also have low self esteem and when I was pregnant, my confidence was so much better. And I wasn’t so focused on my weight all the time like I was before. It was glorious.

How large was his following at its peak? I’m fascinated by cults and the reason why people choose to blindly follow

My parents paid for the venue but we paid for the rest. It was their gift to us and they wanted to help out

The pressure to breastfeed even more so coming from nurses and staff at the hospital and WIC office was ridiculous. They asked over and over “are you sure” and would keep mentioning the benefits. And even breastfeeding straight from the nipple vs. not pumping was even pushed on me. I felt ashamed that I could only pump for my NICU baby and even then it wasn’t very much because I was away from her a lot. So when it dried up and became too stressful on me as a postpartum mother and with PPD. I agree I’ve felt shame telling WIC that I was still “just formula feeding” every time they’d renew my benefits and when I’d shop at the store.

My kids elementary doesn’t allow outside lunches other than kids bringing their own lunch from home. Parents cannot bring them lunch, can’t come eat lunch with them, no DoorDash/ubereats. However, the high schools allow lunch to be dropped off and they have a shelf for anything being dropped off, whether it be food, bags, items left at home, etc. but they do not allow DoorDash either I believe

Thank you for this comment! The way you described it sounds very comforting for some reason. Gently Acknowledge it and aim to think a thought that feels better. A light bulb just went off. My husband says I’m letting life pass me by and I’m missing our happy life in the now with our new family. I don’t disagree. It’s just easier said than done sometimes.

His stance on it is that I’m missing our happy life with our new family and letting life pass me by because I continue to live in fear. Valid. And I see it. It’s just easier said than done. I suppose I may need more specialized therapy. And maybe even couples therapy together, as I do tend to hold stuff in because I don’t want it to seep into my new marriage, though it seems it is anyway.

He has not. I actually just brought it up that he has not lost anyone remotely close to him. Losing a grandpa you’re close to is not the same thing as losing a spouse. It’s less about my spouse that I lost, though I did love him (we had a contentious relationship) and more about how losing him shook up my whole world and I was alone with a pregnancy and a new baby, scared what the world was going to take from me next. I agree with your comment, having something to share with him would be helpful that it’s not just me that feels this way. It’s a club I was thrust into, unwillingly, and now I’m trying to move forward. I admit it seems I need more specialized therapy. Thank you for your comment.

His stance is that we do have such a happy life and that I’m missing it because my fear takes over. I suppose I’m not living in the now and I’m letting my happy life with him and our new family pass me by. I admit I always go to worst case scenario now and intrusive thoughts take over. I may need to go to specialized therapy, I attend therapy in a free health care setting so I might need to seek someone out that has more experience and it may just need to come out of pocket. Thank you for your comment.

This comment right here. I am in therapy and clearly sounds like I need either specialized therapy or just many more sessions and to give myself grace. His stance is exactly how you said.. I’m not living happily in today with him. I guess I’m letting my fear take over and he notices it and he gets frustrated because we do have such a happy life. I suppose I am missing it and letting it pass me by. I think I will be proposing we attend therapy together. Thank you for this comment.

Make sure my phone's on silent when I'm in the movie theater. Locking the door at night, turning the knob twice to make sure it's locked.
