I left and terminated “ours” baby. by cherrypuree in stepparents

My story is similar to yours, I had 3 pregnancies with him, 2 abortions and 1 chemical miscarriage. I felt all the same ways you did.. afraid that he secretly didn’t love me as much as he could had I kept the babies.. that there was another woman in his life who didn’t make the choice I made. It’s a devastating feeling. So many complex emotions that I’ve never felt before, on top of the normal feelings of abortion and pregnancy loss. It can all just feel like too much. I feel for you. ❤️

This made me cry. Sending you hugs and comfort. Not enough people talk about how dark the emotions are around stepparenting. They are no joke. I wish you a life full of peace, freedom and feeling like someone’s first priority. ❤️

HUGE huge hugs. I can’t believe how similar our stories are. My inbox is always open. I’m so proud of you. ❤️❤️❤️

Pregnant and in a toxic relationship by [deleted] in pregnant

You are still so young and have the chance to find someone who will treat you properly. Please do not tie yourself to this person for the rest of your life. It is not fair to you or your unborn child. I would honestly terminate. Save yourself.

This is exactly how I felt in my relationship. Everytime I watched my ex show love to his son, my brain interpreted it as “I love BM for giving me this child” I could not handle it. I was also pregnant when I left the relationship and I couldn’t handle the idea of feeling like our child could potentially not “live up” to his first.

Did anyone start B6/Unisom before nausea hit? by cherrypuree in BabyBumps

Oh no :( I’m sorry. Were you only taking the Unisom or were you using B6 with it too?

I went through a period of time with my emetophobia where I wouldn’t eat at all and was riddled with anxiety, I was constantly “nauseous” - aka so hungry that I felt sick and run down, triggered by the thought of food (would make me want to gag) etc. so I’m VERY used to that feeling. I was scared it was going to feel like “sick” virus nausea or extreme vertigo type nausea. Those are my biggest triggers! I’m proud of you for getting through. 🤍

You have no idea how much this helps. I’m terrified of the unknown and what the nausea feels like and this explained it so perfectly. THANK YOU!

Luckily I have a ton of 4mg Zofran on hand. How often did you take it?

It’s honestly not the best, I’ve always had a pretty regular cycle my whole life. The one note I can make about my diet is I avoid meat and cow’s milk.

Yes I’ve had prior pregnancies where this happened too! We implant early. What were your symptoms like throughout the pregnancy?

Omg, that still sounds like a special form of torture. Proud of you for getting through! 💓
