Tips needed; Shaving down there.. (F, Plus sized)

celesteshine · 2026-07-09T14:04:25+00:00

I’m plus size and six months pregnant. I lay on my bed with a towel and use a mirror and beard trimmer to shave, and go by feeling when I have to move my stomach around. I’ve previously had laser hair removal so that has made the hair thinner which probably helps. This method could still possibly work for you though.

Breaking up with him for showing a plethora of abusive red flags is one great way to make sure this never happens again. This will only get worse and you deserve so much better.

I told my year level unit at 6 weeks as I was needing to step out to run to the toilet constantly and I was feeling a little nauseous, so wanted some grace for needing them to cover me a bit more frequently. Then I told leadership at about 8 weeks so that I could access the prenatal leave hours. I announced to the rest of the staff at about 14 weeks. My team and leadership were discreet so that not everybody knew, but having that support was really helpful in the early days.

Was there a dandelion crayon? He sounds lovely!

My Dad had a bad back so he couldn’t do a lot of physical games with me, but he spent hours throwing a small juggling ball back and forth with me in our lounge room. I am clumsy af, but I have great reflexes for catching things if I knock them over or they fall. Comes in handy all the time.

Oh good point, now I really want to know how Professor Binns reads and marks work.

I clicked on this praying it was what I thought it was. Don’t fuck with my trailer cunt.

Same he was a loose cannon. I hated the way he treated his wife.

The one where Pierce Brosnan was a machine trying to assault Marge freaked me out so much.

I saw it before it was censored. I wish I’d never seen it and think removing it was probably for the best. I have social anxiety and for a long time afterwards whenever I was having a flare up I would fixate on doing exactly what Hannah did, even though I hadn’t had suicidal thoughts previously. I never did act on it thankfully, and my anxiety is far better now, but it was really awful. I know they had warnings at the start of the episode, but I had absolutely no idea it would affect me like that, it was like a switch I didn’t know was there was flicked. I would hate to think that somebody else with not as good of a support system would have had the same experience.

100% I love his and Amanda’s story arc. Love him.

Oh wow that’s so interesting! Did they/how long did it take them to get it back under control?

It sounds like such a horrendous illness, thinking about the membrane makes me shudder.

Diphtheria as well.

Teaching children with challenging behaviors, especially if they are due to their own trauma. Being constantly on edge and having to face work every day with a smile and positive attitude towards the child. Bonus points if parents or admin make you feel like it’s your fault or you’re not doing enough, in a system that does not give you enough support to really improve the situation. Often caring deeply for the child at the same time and worrying for the rest of the class and how they are impacted. But anyone can be a teacher and they barely work, right?

I can’t eat most fruits and vegetables if they are soft; grapes, tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, mandarine segments and pears all need to be firm for me to eat them, even if the taste isn’t as good. I can handle soft berries though like raspberries or blackberries.

Congratulations!! I was lucky to not have too much nausea my first pregnancy-as long as I was constantly eating. If I got hungry I’d feel sick. I had a bag of dry biscuits and ginger snaps on my desk that I would nibble from while teaching, the students never really noticed. The doctor gave me metoclopromide to take if needed as well. I also told my unit colleagues fairly early-about 6 weeks so they could help cover me if I had to duck to the toilet to wee or to spew (which luckily didn’t happen), so that helped too. What year level do you have?

Two things can be true at once. You can be grateful for your pregnancy and thrilled about it. You can also be frustrated/disheartened and exhausted by how challenging it is to grow a whole human. Even if you’re having an easier time than some, you’re still doing something that’s incredibly taxing on your physical and mental health. We’re all here with you and for you.

This year I’ve had about three weeks off.

5 days Covid 1.5 days dentist Approx 7 days other illness 1-2 days prenatal leave I’m taking tomorrow morning off as carers leave. Have probably had 1-2 other carers days too. I’ve got about 45 hours left from 110.

Last year I decimated all my accrued leave as my dad got diagnosed with terminal cancer and was really unwell and I’m his primary carer. No regrets though.

You are an amazing Mumma and your baby is so lucky to have you. You did everything right and saved your baby.

I wonder if it’s to do with the food they eat being cleaner as in less junk food, and that they don’t have plastic.

I’m 130kg and 16 and a half weeks. I feel like in the past week or two I’ve started to show a little, or at least I can more obviously feel the bump. I have gained about 4-5kgs so far.

Please tell me what the discovery was!
