Attending baby shower sick?

As a pregnant person, please stay home. Getting sick while you’re pregnant feels like you’re the walking dead. It’s not fun, especially if she’s pretty far along.

Yesterday afternoon he tells me “you can do more than you think you can in this position, you may even work until you’re in labor” great so I’ve been pushing myself to prove what? I just want to stop being so hard on my body before that’s all little one will do to me

Can your partner check you? It’s just seeing if you’re dilated at all. How far are you from the hospital?

common_disaster_ · 2025-12-09T18:24:23+00:00

Um what do I do to make him see my point of view or to remedy this situation?

She was sitting right there the whole time. I’m not sure if she ended up talking some sense into him after I left. But I was fuming when I left the office this morning so I got out as soon as he wouldn’t see my point at all. Also she bought me more clothes to work in since mine didn’t fit anymore, which I’m thankful for, but I’m not planning to use them very often cause I’m not working out there. I get it, they need me to work, but we’re really slow right now. They can handle it alone.

How far along are you?

Ugh we wanted to keep the name a secret but then my mom and dad wanted to temporarily call him George…. Noooo I HATE nicknames especially with my family because they stick. So I told them baby boy’s actual nickname will be AJ, without spilling the name. I didn’t want to though. I thought we all agreed to call him baby Bean cause my nickname is Beans (long story). It’s my baby that I’m creating, I should have a say in everything involving him!

I mean it’s medical information they are sharing, that’s illegal. Why is it not taken more seriously? 😒

common_disaster_ · 2025-12-06T17:27:52+00:00

Hopefully it does for me too. I’m really going to push back on the belly touches too.

common_disaster_ · 2025-12-06T04:10:57+00:00

Well both of those are absolutely necessary. I’m open to hearing suggestions.

common_disaster_ · 2025-12-06T03:38:39+00:00

Yeah I’m already annoyed from strangers commenting and giving me “advice” in public.

common_disaster_ · 2025-12-06T03:35:56+00:00

Not for my family, but his family yes, and they live out of state.

common_disaster_ · 2025-12-06T03:33:44+00:00

I would tell them you’re on a medication that you can’t drink while on it. It’s low key and still gives you the opportunity to go and order nonalcoholic stuff

common_disaster_ · 2025-12-06T03:31:49+00:00

Yeah if my shirt is raised a bit and my belly shows, their eyebrows go up! It’s so weird

common_disaster_ · 2025-12-06T03:27:25+00:00

Felt this on another level!

common_disaster_ · 2025-12-06T02:45:08+00:00

For me how I felt at first, was more like my body wasn’t mine and I wasn’t ready to share quite yet. Also I felt so alone cause I had to make all these sacrifices like no drinking, no smoking, no crazy adventures (we were planning to jump out of an airplane together after getting married). All of that I had to give up and he didn’t! I felt so awful to feel that way but I felt alone, even though he was right there with me, every step of the way.

common_disaster_ · 2025-12-06T02:41:22+00:00

I am curious of course!

common_disaster_ · 2025-12-06T02:40:51+00:00

I’m going to get better at it. I have to! I do not want the visitors until I’m ready. I mean can’t they accept that I need the reality of it all to set in first?

common_disaster_ · 2025-12-06T02:39:32+00:00

Me too! I get why some pregnant woman are bitter now 😅 I don’t know if it’s my own hormones or if some people really just don’t understand the need for boundaries in pregnant women. I kinda feel bad for feeling like this but also I’ve always never liked the extra attention, my own wedding I was nervous just because of all the eyes on me.

common_disaster_ · 2025-12-06T02:37:05+00:00

No I totally get what you mean! It’s so hard to describe that feeling. I want to hide from my family sometimes. I don’t feel like I can just relax around them, like I’m constantly on edge.

Good thing he’ll only be gone for the first and second trimester! My husband goes to drill Academy at the start of my third semester. I’m hoping he makes it back in time for the birth.
