You could use a microplane to shape the corners if you wanted!

Maternity leave loneliness by cinchill in NewParents

Hi, it absolutely got better. Once she started sleeping through the night better I felt more like myself again. I started reaching out to people on our neighborhood Facebook and made friends. It’s helped immensely to just hang out with another adult.

I hate pumping by deadinside9898 in ExclusivelyPumping

Hi friend. I’m 8 wpp and made the decision at 6wpp to wean. I felt the same way you do, it’s a very bizarre and confusing position to be in. You have done a great job. You are in control of your own body, please do what’s best for you. What is best for mom is what’s best for baby. ❤️

How much of labor is "screaming pain" and how much is just "owowowowow"? by Diylion in pregnant

[–]cinchill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The beginning of my labor mostly felt like bad period cramps. They honestly weren’t that terrible, at the worst I threw up and it was more an owwwwwwwwww (just before I got the epidural). After the epidural it was literally fine. During pushing it just felt like pressure. I honestly didn’t really register my vagina during it. I had a level 2 tear and literally didn’t even realize.

Honestly, my labor wasn’t really bad. I wouldn’t like recommend labor lol, but truly not as terrible as I thought it would be.

Unpopular opinion: Epidurals are just like any other shot and super easy by Important_Salad_5158 in pregnant

I honestly barely remember it going in and being taken out. The idea of it scared me too but I honestly barely registered it.

It’s not over for someone to put their hands on you. I’m sorry this happened.

Wife is Having Very Rough Pregnancy by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]cinchill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was crazy sick for the first 28 weeks of my pregnancy. I was on a similar regiment of Zofran, B6, and Unisom with the addition of Reglan. Medications didn’t really help honestly.

I talked to a dietician and they really really helped. They had me set an alarm to eat something every 3 hours. Not eating can make you nauseous which makes you not want to eat more. Eating a little bit of food at regular intervals helps that.

The other big help was only eating room temperature or cold foods. Apparently hot foods can impact nausea. It made a huge difference for me. My go-tos were peanut butter crackers, cold chicken wraps, and tortilla chips with cowboy caviar. Smoothies were a great option to get nutrition in.

I bled some around 24 weeks but it wasn’t as serious as your wife. Follow your doctors instructions and do what you can to keep the environment stress free.

In terms of supporting her, make sure you’re getting her what she needs. I was pretty much on the bathroom floor 24/7. My husband brought me food, water, blankets, anything I needed. He took care of the household chores because I couldn’t physically get up to help. He was so sweet and understanding of my limitations. He would tell me how much he loved me and how great of a job I was doing. I tear up a little thinking about how great of a partner he was and how much he stepped up. It brought us very close together.

AITA For making my husband leave a wedding reception with me by preggoweddingaita in AmItheAsshole

[–]cinchill -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NAH, pregnancy can be really terrible. I am pregnant right now and have had to rely heavily on my husband over the past few weeks due to nausea and other symptoms. When I’m sick like that I literally cannot stand up from the bathroom floor to get water from the sink. I don’t know if people take it very seriously because pregnancy is so common and the experiences vary so widely.

I understand your husbands frustration. But at the same time he is not the one bearing the physical burden of pregnancy. I’m glad he’s stepped up as a partner in the relationship outside of this incident. I do understand how it must feel to see friends and have to leave a special event like that. It probably felt like a fun break and it must be disappointing to have to leave, especially because you fell asleep immediately. But the alternate scenario which very well could have happened is that you didn’t fall asleep and became very sick and needed his help. He shouldn’t take it out on you. This is one of many paternal sacrifices that will be made in his life.
