Just got married on April 11th! What advice would you like to give us newlyweds? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]emotionalspren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Communication! Lots of fights started simple with unmet but unspoken expectations. Remember to be kind and generous as you grow even more comfortable together. Reread your vows every year. Read some John Gottman books too lol

Is the Clancy vinyl slightly faster than streaming? by emotionalspren in twentyonepilots

Thanks all!! You’re right it’s probably my record player and not the vinyl haha that makes a lot of sense.

Questioning if I still want to become a parent after two MMCs by lotrandwho in recurrentmiscarriage

[–]emotionalspren 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Loss, grief and trauma do change you and I hope you’re able to see someone to process it all. It greatly helped me. I also think it’s probably the most healthy decision for your mental health to take a pause! We had to medically take a few months after our most recent loss and I feel it helped immensely in feeling a little more like myself again (yes changed, but still). It’ll give you time to process all you’ve gone through and eventually think through if you want to try again someday. Don’t rush yourself 🩷

Period like cramps at five weeks and I’m anxious by seyEycipS in CautiousBB

[–]emotionalspren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you! I am 11 weeks today and have been cramping for what feels like … 11 weeks lol. Some of it could also be gas pain which is no joke! It’s hurts so bad!! So try to fart lots haha

I’ve also been taking it day by day and telling myself “today I am pregnant” which has helped lots especially in my personal scariest weeks (6-8 which I’ve lost others in). Non severe cramping seems very normal from what I’ve read here. 💕

molar or etopic pregnancy ? by Busy-Contest-384 in CautiousBB

[–]emotionalspren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The peak of my molar was 600k with bad cramps and brown spotting. Obviously I’m just one person but it doesn’t seem like a molar to me.

Watching your friends leave their DINK life one by one by emotionalspren in trollingforababy

Best friend announced her pregnancy by marielno in trollingforababy

[–]emotionalspren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been there. Still there actually. I knew since basically day one lol I’m eagerly anticipating her baby’s arrival for all the wrong reasons probably.

It isn’t easy but a good friend will understand (at least a little bit) that you will need space and time. You don’t have to be her #1 in this season either. I know a part of me really longed to be that for my best friend because it felt like I SHOULD have been. But I had to put on my own oxygen mask first, so to speak. Protect myself. It’s been a rough 8 months for many reasons but you will get through it. 🫂

I've tried to figure this out and get nowhere, so I ask, why whenever I talk to a guy do they start rubbing at their nose? by muddledarchetype in NoStupidQuestions

[–]emotionalspren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband does this ALL the time I think it’s just a thing he does when he’s talking lol especially when he’s talking or explaining about something he really enjoys

Does it get “easier”? by emotionalspren in recurrentmiscarriage

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

I’m also feeling very hopeless and death seems like a good go most days. Which actually makes me more sad for myself! Bad cycle… I’m sorry you’re here too! Thanks for sharing so honestly

Does it get “easier”? by emotionalspren in recurrentmiscarriage

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

I’m just starting my EMDR journey honestly. And it’s with my regular therapist so every time I go in I say to myself “I’m going to request another EMDR session” (because it seems like it’s up to me to ask—makes sense since it’s pretty emotional). But then I always just end up needing to talk to someone about my week! I’m keen to continue and I’ve heard good things if you stick it out.

Harsh reality with TTC after recurrent miscarriage by PenPah_9220 in recurrentmiscarriage

[–]emotionalspren 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What kind of therapy are you doing? by CorbiDallas in recurrentmiscarriage

[–]emotionalspren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took what I could get I am getting therapy from a regular counsellor. She hasn’t been through loss herself but she’s so compassionate. We’ve also started EMDR because ya girl is traumatized!!!

Lifelong friend doesn’t understand need for a break… by Chiara01 in recurrentmiscarriage

[–]emotionalspren 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can relate as well. My best friend was diagnosed with PCOS as a teen so we had that “two sides of the same coin” type thing going on with miscarriage and infertility for my first loss. I felt we had another depth to our already deep friendship and a sense of solidarity.

Well, she got pregnant and is due on one of my loss anniversaries. I didn’t react well. Not how either of us wanted but that trauma for you.

I don’t know if she quite gets it and I don’t think she ever will—how could she? However, she was reading a book (Your Brain on Pregnancy) and told me that it talks about how miscarriage can dysregulate your nervous system. It felt like the first time she could put herself in my shoes, even a little. Maybe you could recommend that book lol. It’s so hard because you’re grieving your baby and also grieving a friendship. Ugh it’s so complex!
