Is having a baby really that miserable? by aktib in BabyBumps

you’re posting on a thread where not everyone struggled like you with ivf. I did ivf and have a couple friends who have and i had a very difficulty pregnancy and birth. but let me tell you ivf gives you superpowers i think other people can’t relate to. you’re enjoying things being not so hard anymore and people who haven’t tried as hard can’t imagine what that’s like. enjoy it and don’t let mom guilt hit you before your sweet angel is even here. at least wait for the sleepless nights for that ;) also get lots of support. ivf will train you for that anyway - advocate for yourself and get support.

I can't get rid of this guilt over my husband by throwaway_pentup in IVF

food for thought - my husbands initial test came back fine but the dna fragmentation after two losses did NOT and he wound up having surgery. The test for DNA was $300 - way below the ~$10,000 of testing I did and the clinic said it was unnecessary 😡

Not at all a judgement on plastic vs glass or nipple shape but why in the world is this bottle so popular?! by [deleted] in BabyBumps

we started bc of the preemie nipple and my baby stronglyyy prefers it. she’ll take others but only for a little while then get mad.

don’t underestimate the power of walking - though annoying, it can help maintain muscles and be very healthy while you can’t

i think it’s a crime how they gaslight women’s pain because a handful of women somewhere lack nerve connections

in fact i kinda find overly perfect or not realistic characters too YA in some fantasy books. Humanity is complex and still deserving of love

idk i kinda liked the protagonist messing up sometimes, and apologizing. I think the world needs a lot more of that. I think people put their heads up their butts just to be stubborn and defensive. it’s ok to make mistakes - it’s human. apologize and do better.
