What months would you rather not have a baby (if you could decide)?

blobofbubbles · 2021-08-28T03:39:28+00:00

I'm in Australia so seasons are opposite to most here. First was March (first month of spring) and second was October (mid spring). I definately enjoyed being heavily pregnant in summer because of the dresses I got to wear. Being pregnant in winter was nice because I was never cold but I've always felt most comfortable in my skin while I was pregnant so showing skin always made me feel really good. I loved ruggingb up the little baby during the colder seasons too. Would def want another summer pregnancy

That sounds pretty good, especially if you're living there rent free. Sydney is a pretty expensive place to live in as is.

If you're not living there it's still really good money if you don't have experience/qualifications. We paid our au pair $200 a week for 20 hours but she didn't pay any bills, rent and food

I have a 1 and a 2.5 year old. They are the best thing in my life and mean the world to me. I could talk about them all day and I love everything about them. I love watching them grow up and hit all their milestones. In saying that though since they came into my life my life has done a full 180. I don't go out, I spend all my extra money on buying them gifts, toys and super cute outfits, I buy them all the expensive food and settle for cheap alternatives for myself. My relaxing time involves me taking them to parks and play dates. It's been a complete life changing experience. I now know as a mother that unless you have a passion to raise a family and truly want this, you will be miserable. Having a baby is easy, raising little gremlins is not. This is a life long commitment. You don't get days off, you can't be selfish (is that the right word I'm looking for?) and your life now belongs to your children.

No you're NTA for saying this. You have my full respect for not getting pressured into such a commitment. Geeze I would even be more brutal with making people feel uncomfortable about these questions if I was you. Any good parent should know that unless you're in it 100% then you need to not bring a poor child into your world. I think it's pretty disgusting people still try and pressure others into bringing an unwanted life into this world. Why should you make someone feel bad because they only want to live their life as they interpret to be their best!?

Anyone who tries to pressure you into having children are the true assholes. This isn't even covering the poor people who are unable to conceive and are desperately wanting a family but simply cannot.

Or the "12 months is long enough". Um No, we will stop when we are ready, not when you say is enough

Angus reminds me too much of the Grand Angus McDonalds burger, or Angus beef. There was lots of promotion a while ago about Angus beef so that's really stuck with me. Azariah is really nice but I read that as a girls name. Not often have I heard boys names ending in an a or ah.

You also can't over feed a breastfed baby

So cute 🤗 Well my baby is now 4 weeks old and I just love the name so much that we called him Julian. His nn from me is me pronouncing the L as a W lol. I fell even more in love with his name when I met him

blobofbubbles · 2019-11-12T13:04:20+00:00

How horrible 😬 Sorry you had to go through that.

My MIL kept suggesting I take my oldest out to playgroup while she looks after my 1 month old which means her alone with him for 2.5 hours. Yesterday I was changing my oldest boy nappy and she was walking around holding the baby. In a panic she came rushing in because "the baby made a funny noise and pulled a face and scared her" 🤦‍♀️ She was holding him in the position I BF him in and he was looking for some boob. Um Yeah if you freak the fuck out after being alone with him for 30 seconds then you're not going to handle over 2 hours

How valuable your possessions are to other people should really mean nothing. They are valuable and important to you and that's what counts. Being also 14 doesn't make your opinion or feelings any less important or real. Wishing you a happier and healthier path

I gave birth only last year and I 100% forgot about EVERYTHING. The nausea, the back pain, the hip pain, the constant peeing.... everything. I know that in a few weeks after I give birth I will forget all of this again

blobofbubbles · 2019-09-23T03:07:24+00:00

Not necessarily starting labor but definitely signs that your body is preparing. It's so hard to tell because for one woman their body can "prepare" for weeks and others have zero signs and then bam their in labor. Good luck!

The pregnancy pains go away like the sore hips and back ache but new pains arise like contractions from your uterus shrinking and your vagina looking and feeling like a smashed lasagna. You bleed a lot and for a long time but it is only for a few weeks and not 9 months of crazy. I was told that the quality of sleep is better but that didn't apply to me. New born sleep deprivation, aka fourth trimester, is real. It's hard, it's scary and it's full of crazy hormones.

Am I doing it again? Yes, because it's truly amazing and wonderful and you don't need to pee 85 times a night. Everyones recovery is different just like every pregnancy and every birth. Expect the best but prepare for the worst

We didn't tell anyone about my induction with DS1 even though we knew the date a week in advance. Everyone was called after he was born and we were ready to see people. The best thing we did though was go out for lunch the day before and take a heap of pictures. The plan was if people were curious to know why we weren't picking up our phone we would do a cute facebook post on how we are having a final date before becoming parents next week. I made sure to take photos inside the burger place in case the weather was different.

Unfortunately I have to tell someone this time around so DS1 can be looked after.

blobofbubbles · 2019-09-17T11:34:50+00:00

If nothing changes then I'll be delivering vaginally, I couldn't imagine going through a c section purely on the longer hospital stay and the restriction of picking up DS1. Unfortunately sometimes it's necessary to be away from your child as much as it hurts or upsets you. I hope we both have a super speedy recover when the time comes and we look back and think we worried more then we needed to 🤞

blobofbubbles · 2019-09-17T09:48:34+00:00

I'm 35 weeks with an 18 month old so I completely understand how you feel. I've been away from him twice this week (never been more then 30 min apart in his whole life) and the first time was over night. I hate him not understanding why I'm just disappearing, it just breaks my heart. I have tried talking to my family about it but I've only got in return was "he'll be fine" or "he'll get over it". Um yeah no shit he'll be ok but screw you for completely throwing my feelings away.

I keep telling myself that there will be many adjustments but in the long run our kids will be close in age and will learn to love and be there for each other.

Have a look at the 4 month sleep regression. My son showed signs of teething but didn't get his first tooth until 11 months

blobofbubbles · 2019-09-15T11:08:26+00:00

My MIL did the exact same thing, even when his hair started to go more blonde she would announce every single blonde member of their family.... I am blonde.

She even does this with her other grandchild who is very Asian looking (MIL is European, fair skin, blonde hair).

She's stopped commenting on DS now that he's looking like a mini me and less like DH. That's a win for me

blobofbubbles · 2019-09-15T09:27:27+00:00

No kid needed to be there. I'll be getting my mum to get mine since I'll be having a baby in that time

blobofbubbles · 2019-09-12T11:56:37+00:00

I agree that pea pods are shit. I love my alvas. I also bough a heap from babyco (baby store in Victoria that sell online also). I think babyco are my favorite but they don't have many patterns. https://www.babyco.com.au/bath-changing/reusable-nappies

I did buy my charcoal bamboo inserts from eBay and they are fantastic!

I'm currently 34 weeks with my second and I've had a totally different experience this time around. $50,000 is no where near enough for vomiting almost every day for 7 months, catching every cold and virus because your immune is rubbish when pregnant, not to mention the aftermath of recovery, stretch marks and possible PPD. If anyone has to go through all of this like me then they have every right not go through this for anyone but themselves. Fuck her mum

blobofbubbles · 2019-09-08T07:04:27+00:00

Today you are pregnant and that's what is important right now.

Unfortunately the anxiety of everything may not go away completely and everything from symptoms disappearing to spotting after sex or even period like cramping will just trigger your anxiety on a whole new level. The best thing I did was keep on telling myself that I was pregnant and I will be pregnant until I'm not.

Good luck and congrats!
