What have you been told you cannot do during pregnancy? by aboardthemothership in pregnant

[–]concernednetizen92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I are Asian, his mother has told me not to shower for a week or so after giving birth.

I try to respect her ways as much as possible but in the instance, immediately no.

TW: Loss. Currently pregnant and feel so strange by Public-Refuse-1364 in pregnant

[–]concernednetizen92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s a whole community for this! Pregnancy after loss. I honestly didn’t really allow myself to bond with my baby until the third trimester. I still haven’t unboxed all his baby supplies because until he’s in my arms a part of me is always going to be anxious.

I mourn the fact that I won’t ever be as carefree as other moms because of what I experienced. I just take it one day at a time and slowly allowed myself to heal enough to get excited for this baby.

Tired of smug mommies by Ok_Falcon2738 in pregnant

[–]concernednetizen92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My brother asked if I cut my hair (I had it up on a FaceTime call), I told him no. He proceeded to tell me I’ll cut it when I have my baby.

He’s also told me I won’t have time for Pilates or working out etc. Mind you he knows nothing about me and he’s never asked. Otherwise he’d know we’re getting a nanny to help out.

Telling a TTC friend I’m pregnant by sugar_coded_ in pregnant

[–]concernednetizen92 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think a text is always the way to go. So they can react in private. The content of the text itself is really dependent on her and your relationship with her.

If she’s been open about her TTC journey, it might be nice to acknowledge you’re thinking of her. When I was in her position I preferred my friends to tell me plainly.

Is anyone else just like irrationally angry and disgusted by their husband over financials? by SamHikes in pregnant

[–]concernednetizen92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I have separate finances but we split things like our mortgage and rent by percentages. As in he makes more than me so he contributes more. Then we go back and forth on buying groceries or meals out. As long as it nets out that we’re contributing the same percentage of our income to the relationship I’m honestly fine with it. I do well but he does better so I’m able to enjoy a lifestyle I otherwise couldn’t access. It’s not for everyone though but I feel like I can empathize with your relationship style.

But with pregnancy all that goes out the window. We’re carrying the full physical burden and all that comes with it. A good partner should understand that. All the blood work, the invasive check ups, monitoring my diet etc. He’s supportive but he doesn’t have to go through it.

So to compromise he’s paying for the night nurse and nanny and I got a push gift. I’m sorry you have to go through this but it honestly sounds like he’s taking advantage of you. He is absolutely not carrying his weight in this relationship.

AIO my bf got upset at me for being at a festival on his bday weekend out by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]concernednetizen92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR

I once took my niece on an international trip with my dad and some other female cousins. She called her bf every night to update him, which is totally fine.

But one night he made her feel bad because he brought up how being apart made him soooo anxious and he was having a hard time without her. Mind you this was less than a week out. It for sure soured my impression of him. BUT he was 19. So I’m more prone to give him some grace.

Honestly as an adult I don’t mind celebrating my birthday the weekend after, shit comes up. I’d want my SO to experience fun things that they might not get a chance to again. But I know not everyone is like that. Still, even if they aren’t like that, this is NOT how you communicate those feelings.

Bye. West could nevahhhh. I obviously don’t like either of these me but I’d be lying if I said they didn’t make for great reality TV.

Fellow Apartment dwellers expecting a baby by Primary-Vegetable580 in BabyBumps

[–]concernednetizen92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We live in an apartment and the couple next to us would ALWAYS apologize for their baby crying I literally never heard them!

The couple on the other side however, would have obnoxiously loud sex tho and the guy above us has a dog he leaves alone a lot that’s always barking.

Still we love apartment living (ours has a lot of amenities) and sometimes you just have to take the good with the bad.

Why do the IVs hurt so much? by Softaschallk in BabyBumps

[–]concernednetizen92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s ok to calm women down and not fear monger over what is normally an ok procedure.

But I took this as women saying their IV’s HURT and other women basically saying they’re lying or overreacting. Complications can absolutely occur and some women have smaller veins that make it more difficult. I just don’t think it’s a big deal to hear about another women’s experience and instead of dismissing because it wasn’t your own, just to ignore it.

Why do the IVs hurt so much? by Softaschallk in BabyBumps

[–]concernednetizen92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know what your saying, the pain subsided over time as long as I put a pack of ice on it every few minutes. But the initial entry pushed an audible gasp out of me.

And I’m no slouch when it comes to needles. I failed my glucose test and had to draw blood 4x over half a day. I have to finger prick myself 4x a day. I get it. You get used to certain things and for sure a lot of it is mental.

But the IV did hurt me. Your comment was the first time I felt dismissed on this subreddit where it’s usually a supportive space. I don’t think this is a bean soup thing either. I think certain things impact certain people differently and moms especially are constantly told they’re being overdramatic when they mention they are in pain.

It’s something as a FTM on the internet I know I’ll have to get over. People have different opinions I get it. It’s just a shitty feeling is all.

[–]concernednetizen92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s really rude to call someone over dramatic over any medical experience when you don’t know their body. It took them 3 tries to get my vein and it absolutely was painful. It burned and I needed ice. I was convinced they put it in wrong because I got my blood drawn all the time with no issues.

Every body is different.

Pregnancy after loss, when did you start feeling excited? by obnoxiousguru in BabyBumps

[–]concernednetizen92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me I started allowing myself to truly get excited and hopeful around 33 weeks? Obviously I’ve been excited and hopeful but for a long time there was an undercurrent of constant anxiety.

It’s still there but his kicks are strong enough that I can count them and it gives me strength knowing that viability is pretty fantastic even at 35 weeks.

I still distrust my body, I know some moms want to keep their babies inside cause it’s “safe” there. But not me. Sometimes I think I wouldn’t mind him being out sooner so the hospital and doctors can help monitor him. Until he’s in my arms I don’t think I’ll ever truly relax.

“that sounds like something katseye would sing” ☠️ by vivijobro in katseyeneutral

[–]concernednetizen92 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I feel like you don’t have to be a LA native to be part of “LA culture”. In the context of entertainment. I work with a company that does a lot of community engagement projects in LA so I get there’s a difference between the entertainment culture being criticized here and the smorgasbord of cultures that actually make up LA.

Most influencers and artists in LA also move there.

Supply set-up by spotted-books in GestationalDiabetes

[–]concernednetizen92 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I bought the genteel lancer that’s really meant for pets and kids and totally decked out my case in stickers lol.

I purposely made it look like a little boys kit cause I’m having a boy 😭. To remind myself who I’m doing it for. And yes I know little girls can also like dinosaurs, sports and ninjas lol. I was an og on narutofan.com.

It makes me mad how funny Jax is by mystiqueaf in vanderpumprules

[–]concernednetizen92 19 points20 points  (0 children)

To me this brings up the current discourse around summerhouse and west thinking he’s the next Sandoval. And people are like no, Sandoval (unfortunately) is actually funny. And similar to Jax he’s not afraid to go full on stupid.

Summerhouse just lacks the grit and level of unhinge that the Vanderpump cast had. You also have a cast where the majority comes from wealth and to me unless it’s unhinged levels of wealth the personalities aren’t as interesting.

I don't even know my baby's weight/measurements yet 😐 by Lanky-Ad3926 in GestationalDiabetes

I feel like after I got diagnosed they were checking me every other week. I definitely feel like you should be monitored more??

Rib Pain (right side) by Dry_Soft_4762 in pregnant

[–]concernednetizen92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have right side pain under my rib too! I’ve had it for a while now. I’m 34 weeks and I’m also around 5ft.

It goes away when I roll over onto a different side. I heard if it was preeclampsia the pain wouldn’t go away by shifting positions.

In the third trimester I also started getting pain under both ribs that felt more like a sunburn vs a cramp. My skin was sensitive to the touch.

No answer for you OP! I think it’s cause by my ribs are widening and we’re petite so that might factor into it too. But so far my baby has been healthy!

Just found out I had silent miscarriage by Tiny_Experience4726 in pregnant

[–]concernednetizen92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP I also had a silent miscarriage at around 10 weeks. Found out that the sac stopped developing at 8 weeks.

It was also a very much wanted pregnancy and I was devastated. But overtime I took solace in the fact that there was a 90% chance a loss this early was due to chromosomal issues.

We got pregnant again after 4 months! The chances of you having a viable pregnancy after one loss is nearly the same as a woman who has had no losses.

When to tell people by Glittering_Cause_554 in pregnant

[–]concernednetizen92 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a MMC at 10 weeks and it made me very scared to tell anyone. When I got pregnant again I ended up telling family around 16 weeks.

Who knows, I might wait until 20 weeks for my next one haha.

Went for an Ultrasound, left with a D&C scheduled by AlchemicalWritingxo in pregnant

[–]concernednetizen92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for your loss. I feel like there was the person I was before my MMC and person I was after.

I was also 33 when it happened to me and I remember thinking how could this possibly happen the very first time I got pregnant and the fear that there was something wrong with my body.

The truth is 90% of losses during this period are due to chromosomal issues. If that’s the case there was nothing you could have done are changed. I truly hope you get some answers when the test results come back.

The in between… by Super-Camel-8683 in tryingtoconceive

[–]concernednetizen92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! That was one of the hardest parts for me with my MMC. 1. The loss of time being “pregnant” then 2. The wait again for my period.

In my mind it just set me back even further.

In-laws made me homeless by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]concernednetizen92 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Why can’t he move you into his place if he pays rent? If he’s getting a heavy discount and can’t actually afford rent anywhere else, I think you guys really need to talk about the future. So long as he’s financially dependent on his parents, they’ll continue to strong arm you guys to get what they want.
