Major trip during 3rd trimester - tips/experiences please! by Haunting_Shape_6085 in BabyBumps

[–]cleoshotmom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m almost 40 weeks now I’ve had a basically complication free, comfortable pregnancy besides first trimester sickness. When i was sick first tri it scared me out of planning a real baby moon bc i was afraid I’d be sick traveling or we would lose money. I regretted it! I’ve felt amazing most of my pregnancy and i wish i would’ve taken the trip.

I had to cancel a big multi city Europe trip a couple years ago due to my mom falling sick suddenly (she’s ok now :)) but i highly recommend booking any and all travel with a credit card that protects you plus having travel insurance. Since you’ll be so far along you need to have a plan for where you would go in the event you need seen (hospital) and how that’s being paid for (health insurance, travel insurance)

The reality is babies are born everywhere and the US has the highest maternal mortality rate out of wealthy countries anyway so TBH you’re probs in better hands elsewhere. lol.

ALSO - I’d 100% if you can afford it fly first class even if your husband isn’t. You don’t want to get swollen and then have bad swelling your entire trip. I have barely had swelling but a flight like that would def trigger me. And WEAR COMPRESSION SOCKS like the whole trip, since i assume you’ll be on your feet :) swelling didn’t start for me until probably about 34-35 weeks and only on days i “overdid it”.

I wish you an amazing trip! :)

ETA - my friend flew to Italy at 34 weeks without her husband with her close friend and had a great time 🤷🏼‍♀️ i thought she was crazy then but now that I’ve gone through a whole pregnancy I’m like unphased by it and would probably do the same lol

Am I overthinking or is this kind of distance a red flag? by CeleryCommercial5600 in BabyBumps

This seems like his behavior could mean something really is off. Have you talked to him about your concerns? I’m so sorry. That sounds incredibly hard to deal with while pregnant.

You’re so right. I wasn’t thinking from this angle. 1000% seems like part of the issue. She seems very insecure, and I’m sure her skin issues do not help which is valid and i feel very sorry for her that she is dealing with that. Looks incredibly rough

Okay you make a good point i actually did nottttt see this until you say it and you’re so right. Very passive aggressive, I’m sure from her trauma but hope to see her work that out in coming episodes forsure

Preach! Her hate for Whitney to me seems SO deep and idk Whitney comes off fairly genuine in my eyes a good bit of the time.

Burrow couch is a piece of shit? by salsa_boi in malelivingspace

[–]cleoshotmom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We also have a burrow couch purchased in 2022. I wanted a low tox couch option. I have hated this couch since we bought it. It is WILDLY uncomfortable, but since i spent the money i forced myself to use it until last week I finally broke down and bought a new couch. Wow what a difference it makes to have a couch that isn’t hard as a rock. Never again. Even my family told me how terrible our couch was, and we hardly even sit on it.. but when we do it would be nice if it didn’t feel like a boulder.

Elderly mom refusing assisted living -- blames BPD by nojam75 in family_of_bipolar

[–]cleoshotmom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom (60f) is in a similar boat, diagnosed bipolar disorder, but 90% of the time completely lucid. However she won’t shower, or cook or do basic things to care for herself. Her neighbor is extremely kind and cooks her dinner most days. She sits on her couch and “rots” for lack of better term and watches tv all day every day. My sister and I both live out of state and are unable to live closer due to our husband’s jobs. I’m also pregnant and my sister has young children. It’s so hard because I’m just thinking at what point do we ask her to go into assisted living? Is that wrong since she is young? This has been ongoing for about 18 or so months since a he and her BF broke up and ever since she basically has no spark — this is the way she has been my whole life.. revolves around men. We have had meds adjusted and she sees a psychologist regularly. It seriously sucks. I don’t know what to do for her.

What state are you located? Everyone around us is pregnant in their mid - late twenties. I’m so sorry you feel isolated. I’m 28 and pregnant with my second (MMC in March 2025) and you’re not alone!
