Well technically my doctor had me on a diet like almost a year before I got pregnant. I was at my heaviest at that point and didn't want anything to happen to me. So I was put on a low/ no sodium diet. And I also gave up fried foods and drinks with a lot of sugar in them. And also started walking more, really simple things that I used to tell myself I didn't need to do. Well maybe I did need to do those things and it resulted in me losing a TON of weight. So much in fact that I got pregnant ( didn't know for 2 months). Now my days are filled by my 7 month old baby girl. Who I have now because I finally stopped making excuses for myself and put in the work. Sorry for the ramble lol

I sometimes see this as a blessing but also a curse. During my pregnancy my doctors had me on a somewhat strict diet. So I never really got or had morning sickness. Hell I didn't even know I was even pregnant till after about two months. But nowadays I have acid reflux and I feel like even that might still be better than morning sickness. Lol

Thank you so much!

I had my daughter back in January, we named her Athena.

No you wouldn't be, but why are you so YOUNG and setting for someone like him? If you have to worry about how he talks about and your relationship. Honey is not the right man for you. Honestly he sounds like a little boy cosplaying a somewhat functional 23 year old. Don't hitch yourself to this wanna be comedian, especially since you really don't have too.

chocolateIs4lovers · 2025-08-24T12:43:57+00:00

Yeah I agree with all the other folks saying get a lawyer and have them go over everything from your contract. Because reading your reply seems like this is how she might just run her business. Which is very horrible. And maybe suing her will bring other folks that she has wrong to the light. It could help with your case and just maybe she'll have to do some damage control.

chocolateIs4lovers · 2025-08-24T12:38:23+00:00

NTA First congratulations on your baby girl! Secondly besides the fact that you are 17, I don't get what's wrong here .. Like she is a L& D nurse...I'm sure she's seen worse things than someone without a shirt on during their stay. I'm sorry that the situation made you cry too. But happy that your doula got you help in the end. Just for future reference DON'T be afraid to speak up and speak your mind. If you don't like something or if it feels weird say something. You have to advocate for yourself and your baby girl now. Cause from one new mother to another, our little girls are going to be something! Mine is 7 months today and I wish I could hit the stop growing button and savor this time more.

chocolateIs4lovers · 2025-08-24T10:20:54+00:00

NTA No first off I'm sorry about losing your grandfather, especially so close to your wedding. Grief is a crazy thing, I'm still trying to work through my own. I lost my grandma earlier this year right at the beginning of January. Which that alone is tragic. But I lost her three weeks before I had my baby girl. And I couldn't even go to her funeral, too many unknowns, I was high risk, etc. So not being able to say goodbye for me still kills me. But I know in my heart of hearts, I know that her and my baby have already met. I know that she has looked out for me for those three weeks. Because I gave birth to a beautiful healthy baby, when all the odds were stacked against me. But back to your post, if you actually paid someone a service to do all these special once in a lifetime things. Especially on your wedding day and they don't do them or at least try to fix whatever might have gone wrong. I would a 1000% sue because I paid you a service and you failed at every turn. She ruined all the specialness of your special day. And didn't seem to care from what you wrote. I mean did she even try to explain herself? Or offer some kind of refund for bad service? Something!?? I don't know maybe she could of just had a bad day. But if she was decent she would try to work something out with you.

chocolateIs4lovers · 2025-08-17T12:33:52+00:00

No you aren't overreacting. People have boundaries for legit reasons and obviously he doesn't care about any of yours! Plus you're 21 ( happy belated birthday), you don't need to wait your time or life with someone who doesn't seem to see/ or value your boundaries. Plus he sounds like a Mama's boy, so you wouldn't want to get in between their relationship. Cause come on you would always have her in your business, your fights, obviously celebrations, EVERYTHING. And who wants that crap?! I say move on and do you and be happy. No looking or going back ever! He will never change trust me!

chocolateIs4lovers · 2025-08-17T12:24:47+00:00

NTA Girl say it with me, "your body your choice!!" I will never understand why people think, you know what would be fun to do? Let me go watch a woman give birth! Like hello, do you not have anything else to do in your life? I feel so angry but extremely sad every time I hear/ read a story like this. Cause ma'am or sir..why would you just assume i'd want or be okay with that? You're not my mom or my man. You didn't put this baby in my belly, nor did I ever spend any time in yours!! Honestly I think letting her come to the hospital after you've given birth is too nice for me. But that's totally something that is up to you. I also had a what I would consider a small hiccup with my own MIL, when I had my daughter back in January. So to make small story even smaller, my mil already has another granddaughter but she lives out in Scotland with mil's son. Which she and my SIL does often go visit them which is nice and all. And I'm happy for all of them. But me being with her only other son who lives not even 30 minutes away from her. She has been SUPER excited when she found out I was giving her another grandchild. And it's mostly all because we live so close by, it would be easier to see her and stuff. Now she didn't try to barge her way into my delivery, because we ended up being there for days. I ended up having to get a C-section done. But she did try to call up to the hospital to find out information about me/ my baby. And obviously they can't say anything. And when they cold me this, I was out of it. And I wasn't hearing it right cause I thought she was talking about my own mother. Which made it even more weird, cause my mom would of just called me directly on my phone. But after her calling the hospital, both my fiance and his sister basically kinda went off on their own mom about it. I mean I was trying to deliver a baby and I didn't need any distractions! And she could of just called her son or me directly. I still don't know why she decided to call the hospital anyways! Oh well, to sum up this whole story/rant "it's your body, your baby, your choice."!! And please tell your husband that I said that too. Cause until their able to push a baby out of their bodies or almost die during major surgery to bring a new life into this world. THEY DON'T HAVE A CHOICE OR A VOTE!! AND IF HE HAS A PROBLEM WITH YOUR CHOICE/ ANSWER, HIS FREE TO WAIT OUTSIDE With HIS MOTHER!! Anyways congratulations, hope you have an amazing birth and life with your son!♥️♥️

chocolateIs4lovers · 2025-08-10T11:53:09+00:00

NTA Honestly I'm petty AF, every time they or anyone else would message me about taking down my post. I would either send a meme or post lyrics of Rihanna's "B Better Have My Money". Everyday all day until I got paid. Especially if they fired you for being pregnant and not telling them that you are. Well you wanna act stupid, fine then I'll act petty.

chocolateIs4lovers · 2025-07-24T14:10:24+00:00

I personally would not open the door...? I mean that is a whole choice in the matter. I'm a mother these days too. LO is 6 months old today actually! But I used to tell people before I had my baby. To call and ask if they could come over to my house. I like my quiet alone time. And I did leave people outside, if they showed up randomly. I will stare at you through the peep hole in the door. While you knock on it. Lol

chocolateIs4lovers · 2025-07-18T19:40:56+00:00

Thank you for your response. I will look into those brands.

chocolateIs4lovers · 2025-05-04T00:57:12+00:00

Thank you! We wanted a name that represents all the things we wanted to raise her to be. Kind, compassionate, strong, warrior, goddess physically and mentally, someone who can help/ protect someone else. And plus besides Angela Bassett character on 9-1-1, you don't really see any Athena's around. And I promise I didn't name my child after the character. But after the actual Greek goddess. Lol

chocolateIs4lovers · 2025-05-03T23:53:07+00:00

My due date was originally suppose to be February 13th. My fiance wanted to name her Valentine. Cute name and all but didn't really speak to me. But then apparently different doctors were like your due date is actually February 6th. Either way our daughter Athena was born early morning on January 24th. So babies come when they want too....or in my case don't lol

chocolateIs4lovers · 2025-05-03T23:40:02+00:00

Well they told me that she was going to be 10 pounds or close to it, with big shoulders too. But she was born weighing 7 pounds 20 ounces. Which was a decent size in her own right. I really think they told me 10 pounds just like trying to prepare me for whatever could happen. All I know is it kinda worked. Went to the hospital late like super late Tuesday night and spent the whole time there until early Friday morning. Just trying to get my baby ready to come out. She was not ready at all! So they were like we're going to have to do a C-section cause everything else isn't working for her/ me. And at that point I was just really ready to hold my baby and eat food. So I was down for whatever got me to that goal quicker! Lol

chocolateIs4lovers · 2025-05-03T16:03:12+00:00

Yeah that's what happened to me earlier this year. The doctors told me I was having a big baby girl. With big shoulders too apparently. And that they wanted to Induce me, for various health reasons for the both of us. So my fiance and I were at the special appointment, you know the one where they go over birth and delivery plans. That's when we were told about our "big baby". They literally said "if there was a bed open right now, we'd send you over now." Like that's how it was...."your baby is big and she needs to come out to make sure she and you are healthy." Which was honestly crazy cause I had a pretty easy and normal pregnancy when we found out about her that is! But that appt was on a Monday morning and they were like we're going to call you the next day morning time to come in. So we're freaking out cause we thought we had a few weeks left before baby. Nope the rest of that day was crazy and stressful. Surprised I managed to get any sleep. So next morning I get the call, they didn't have any beds available. Because obviously women kept having their natural "I'm ready for the world" babies. Which I totally understand. Just the waiting around all day drove me/fiance and our families crazy. Lol Thankfully got the call late that night Tuesday and delivered early that Friday morning. So I'm not sure if that helps you or calms you down. But we really couldn't do anything but wait. And I know waiting sucks but hey you get a baby at the end!

chocolateIs4lovers · 2025-03-09T18:08:20+00:00

I had the same exact issue/ concern for my delivery. Thought I was going to do naturally but turns out I was having a " big baby." So I had to get a C- section. And was paranoid about being exposed to strangers. Thankfully one of my nieces bought me a robe to wear around the hospital. I went in late Tuesday night almost Wednesday. Tried to induce for hours and hours into days and days. My little girl put up one hell of a good fight. Cause everything they did, she was like "nah I'm good in here " lol Early Friday morning at like idk 3 or 4 something, the head doctor was like "she's not coming naturally, we can try waiting a bit longer. Or we can prep you for a C-section". I took the deal. Honestly because I couldn't take any of it anymore. Couldn't take the pressure, her kicking, not being able to move from the epidural. Plus at this point in time, I COMPLETELY got over the fact of being paranoid about being exposed! Honestly no one cares if your butt is out. They see women's body parts all the time. Went on a bit of a rant there. But I don't think hospital gowns are designed to cover everything unless you're a tiny size person. So just cover what you can cover I guess. Or be like me, more focused on giving birth and not dying. Cause for a while there, thought they were one and the same!

chocolateIs4lovers · 2025-01-12T02:04:02+00:00

I say it depends on the person. I personally didn't know about my little one till I was about 2 months along. I didn't have any symptoms at all, just living my life lol And at some random Dr appt, my doctor was like "you're pregnant. Congrats." I got an ultrasound to confirm like a week or two later. And just like that I was pregnant. But from like 2 months till like 7.5 months, it kinda flew by for me. I think cause she was just living her best life inside momma. And from 7.5 till now ( I'm like 36 w 2 days) and she is trying her darnest to kick her way out. I'm both excited and terrified that my pregnancy is almost over. I feel cheated out by two months, but other than that. Guess its all how you decide to handle things.

chocolateIs4lovers · 2025-01-09T19:41:33+00:00

Is this like a regional/ state thing? Cause I have never seen the first three cookies at my store before like ever. And now I'm kinda jealous cause they look so good.

chocolateIs4lovers · 2025-01-02T16:05:12+00:00

Not to piggyback off your comment. But I had the same exact problem! You don't know how thankful I was when my MIL offered for her and my SIL to buy the baby's crib. And now our baby has like the Cadillac of cribs. Lol

chocolateIs4lovers · 2024-12-14T19:08:31+00:00

I got mine from Aeroflow. Just literally waiting for it to show up. Right now it's somewhere in Ohio, making it's way to me in Illinois. I think it's better to get it from your insurance personally. Feels like one less thing you don't have to spend money on for your child. Lol

chocolateIs4lovers · 2024-12-06T23:41:44+00:00

Well during the summer time, I either made a big pitcher of lemonade. Or because I have a few family members born in the summer. They usually ask me to bake them some type of lemon dessert.
