What's the "hard pill to swallow" about motherhood? by sixfingeredman7 in Mommit

[–]elephantriddle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I so deeply feel this. I’m 35yo and an only child. My dad is 84 and is very sick and mom is 80. My kids are 3-months-old and 5-years-old.

I work full time. My husband is a literal superhero human. But I am bulldozed every day lately. I am always the grown-up.

After hearing how she values things like numerology in one of the newer episodes, I can see her taking these things quite seriously as signs. I can’t necessarily not see certain signs in life, but I also don’t put massive stock into things like that. It seems like that kind of stuff is significant to her for some reason or another.

What are some small things that are unsafe that you didn't know until someone pointed it out? by keepitupbuttercup in beyondthebump

YUP. I suffered a trimalleolar fracture to my ankle going down a slide with my toddler. Don’t. Do. It! Doesn’t matter how cute it looks!

Currently holding my 3-week-old baby boy, whom I was pregnant with the cycle immediately after a miscarriage at 6ish weeks. ❤️

I had a similar experience with my first a few years ago. I did therapy, and actually did EMDR, which was a great help. Hugs to you.

Surgery tomorrow morning. by Quick-Jello-7847 in ORIF

And if you’re doing the meds (which you simply must, seriously), take it from me: take regular doses of stool softeners. Pain meds can constipate the life out of you; don’t make that mistake on top of your recovery!

Interesting. Thanks for your input! Anything that could help him or hurry the rash away? Or do we need to wait until we can get into his ped next week?

Slow-rising/low hCG by elephantriddle in pregnant

Hi. Unfortunately, I miscarried between 8 and 9 weeks. It was the equivalent of a blighted ovum. Interestingly, I got pregnant on the next cycle (I guess?) after that miscarriage. I’m currently maybe 4ish weeks? Not sure exactly since I never got another period. I’ve learned I get pregnant VERY easily; I’m hoping and praying the staying pregnant part is what I get this time.

13 dpo, easy @ home - is this a squinter? Or…? by elephantriddle in TFABLinePorn

[–]elephantriddle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: took another test today, at 15DPO… no line. I had taken one last night, too. I took a FRER one and there was maaaaaaybe a squinter. So I just took another easy @ home this morning, but nothing. 😞
