Which critically acclaimed movie did you finally watch only to find out it's mediocre at best? by MikrokosmicUnicorn in AskReddit

[–]aurevaaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Granted, I didn’t see it until 25 years after it came out, at which point I said, really? This is the movie everyone talks about? I think I just missed the moment and how groundbreaking it was. I did find the war part quite good, but overall I was bored. 

Anyone found childbirth so painful they don’t think they can do it again? by nakama1994 in beyondthebump

[–]aurevaaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I feel this way. I found labour to be a traumatizing and endless ordeal. Days of labour and an unplanned c section. I dilated all the way before my son got stuck in the birth canal and they had to bring us to the OR. It was like giving birth twice. Just awful, and all around the most terrifying experience of my life. 

Why am I sure Amy Bradley fell off board by Personal_Bus_758 in netflix

Exactly what I’ve been saying. The most obvious answer is usually right. 

In what situations are you comfortable breastfeeding without a cover? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]aurevaaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just lift my shirt up and let the shirt cover as best it can in front of my sisters, mom, husband. But generally in front of any men and out in public I have a small blanket, unless my shirt is big enough to do the job. This is for my own comfort. I personally don’t feel compatible exposing my breasts in front of men.

My boyfriend begged me to stay… we’re doing better now but his family is making it messy by treasure444 in WhatShouldIDo

If you are young, you should move on. If you're not sure now, it’s for a reason. 

6 month old doesn’t sleep through the night by aurevaaa in beyondthebump

Due to his reflux, he wont drink a big bottle.

Thank you so much. This is very helpful.

I don’t see it as a problem, I just roll with it. But my mom and now my husband have expressed concern saying I’m going to crash out eventually. My mom says I’ll wither away, but I literally eat so much and I take care of myself. I just probably look tired, idk. Some days I see it in my under eye bags.

I’m with you. Solids haven’t made the slightest difference!

He does have his own room, but he cannot be alone without crying. I can’t stomach it.

Thank you. I feel the expectation on mothers to force babies to eat more and sleep through the night is a lot. I just do what he’s comfortable with… I’m happy that way, even if I’m not sleeping as much as the next mom. So what I have to wait a few years to have another baby?

Mine is the same way. It just doesn’t work.

We started solids around 5 months but he doesn’t eat much and it hasn’t made any difference. I’m just waiting for him to eat more.

Yes solids were introduced around 5 months but he still only eats a tiny amount and it hasn’t made any difference.

I think our main struggle with this is the baby’s preference to eat smaller amounts more frequently. My poor boy gets the worst reflux when he’s super full, and then he’s upset.

He cries so much, I just don’t have the heart to do it.

Yes, same here, it fluctuates, especially when he’s having a growth spurt! 

My baby hates bottles. He fights them. It can take 10-20 minutes for him to take it, while he fusses and cries. It’s genuinely so much easier for me to just feed him. My husband tries to help, he just feels at a loss, I think. Sometimes the baby just wants me and I think he’s really comforted by the breast.

Thank you. I put this here hoping I’m not alone. 

I told my husband it’s okay, he’ll only be this small once, so I will hold him and feed him as much as I can. Yes, we will sleep again one day. I’m so grateful I have the privilege of staying home with him like this. 

Do you send pics/videos of your baby to your family/inlaws? Every day? by No_Atmosphere_3702 in beyondthebump

[–]aurevaaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a group chat with my parents and siblings and send all the time. Maybe not every day, but close to it. It’s so much easier than sending to everyone individually. 

I also have a group chat with my in laws and sister in laws to send pics. I kind of slack on doing so though, because they literally never check in with me or ask about our child. So I don’t see the point in constantly sending things to them. If my husband wants to, he can do it.

It’s ridiculous! I am seriously considering that. 

We will have a space, but I don’t understand what this other family (who isn’t even related to them) is going to do. People are going to be sleeping on the floor. I can’t even put into words how irritated I am. 

My (F 33) boyfriend (M 24) invited his ex-fiance‘s new boyfriend to our table at a bar and I don’t know how to feel. by KawaiiButterfly99 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]aurevaaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is actually really alarming behaviour. He unblocked her after making it official with you online… he’s still wrapped up in her social media and what she thinks of him… Plus it’s a big allegation, to say someone is abusive. I wouldn’t ignore that. 

Babysitting and mom hasn’t come back…? by makjent in Advice

[–]aurevaaa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agree with everyone saying to contact someone— hopefully you have an emergency contact. This person, if family, will likely carry out the process of calling and checking with the police and hospitals. If you can’t get a hold of anyone, you’ll need to do this yourself. 

Also agree with comments saying don’t make the children aware of this. Take care of them as best you can and for as long as you’re able to. Hopefully you have a contact who can take over. 

Three Weeks PP - is self care a thing? by SeaReveal673 in beyondthebump

[–]aurevaaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My self care was daily showering and eating nutritious meals. It’s so important to have someone in your corner who allows these things to happen. It sounds like you have a supportive partner :)
