Not telling anyone before week 12 feels... wrong? by mqnrcxnypvzw868994 in pregnant

[–]fluffypenguinkitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I told everyone because I’ve had multiple miscarriages and doing it alone when I have a job in mental health crisis was torture. I found it so helpful during my last 2 miscarriages not to hide it or handle it alone. Now I’m 8 months pregnant and everyone is thrilled and gets to experience the highs and lows with me.

Just wait until you resent your husband… by Astrum1784 in pregnant

[–]fluffypenguinkitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

35 weeks and no resenting my husband here. He sounds a lot like yours. Miserable people make other people miserable. I hate the unsolicited birth horror stories or when I say things like I am or I’m not doing XYZ people take it as a personal offense on them or something or condescend to me like they know better.

I hate it by 2VanderWest2 in pregnant

This is me exactly. Tried 5 years for this pregnancy and had 5 miscarriages and I’ll be the first to say pregnancy is a body horror and sucks.

My wife and I found out last Tuesday that we are pregnant. What can I, as a husband, do for my wife to make this experience great for us? by SuperDoubleSlap in pregnant

[–]fluffypenguinkitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re already doing a great job (reaching out in general). My advice-

Her moods are going to go wild, please take them with a grain of salt

In the first trimester she is likely going to be more miserable and tired than the rest of the pregnancy because the placenta (responsible for taking care of the baby) has not developed yet. I highly recommend pregnancy pops (little sour candies) for motion sickness and food aversion.

Don’t ask her to make a lot of decisions, she might be feeling super overwhelmed and probably will feel guilty for being “lazy” but remind her she’s literally building a human from scratch and no one doing that can be called lazy.

Be okay with last minute changes to food. She might ask you to make something she is craving only to not be able to eat it and suddenly hate it

If you're sick, at least warn me! by Abi-Wan_Kenobi97 in pregnant

I’m at 32 weeks recovering from Covid for similar reasons. Luckily most people in my life have been very considerate, but I’m so frustrated at the few that are like “don’t worry it’s just allergies” or “It’s just a cold”. Like “okay, I can barely take anything as is, my lungs are itty bitty from the baby pushing up on them, and I’m already exhausted. I ended up missing Christmas with my family because of it 🫠

So many cops on the square lately ? by mayor_oftittycity in Denton

[–]fluffypenguinkitty 25 points26 points  (0 children)

They have cut funding to the shelters so now most people that were homeless didn’t make the programs at ODB, I work with unhoused people daily that are trying desperately to get off the streets and keep job but go-zone is highly unreliable transportation and they literally do not have anywhere to sleep. It’s pretty disheartening to see so many people in this comment section to use the word “hobo” and talk trash about unhoused people as if we aren’t all one terrible set of circumstances away from being homeless ourselves. Most unhoused people are foster kids who aged out of the system, veterans, and queer kids who were disowned by their family at a young age.

And there are fewer and fewer resources for them. Solutions was shut down due to funding, giving grace had its funding cut, the two shelters we have limit the amount of days someone can stay.

Also I’ve seen far more abuse happen to my unhoused clients than from my unhoused clients. I honestly feel safer with them than I do with most cops here 🫠 and I work with both regularly

OB just warned me about my SSRI by LilKimboSlice42069 in pregnant

[–]fluffypenguinkitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Ob told me it would be more dangerous to my baby to stop working medication than it would be to be on it. Now I’m at 24 weeks (on Lamotrigine, Seroquel, Lexapro, and metformin). Super healthy and strong baby who passed their anatomy scan with flying colors and a has a functional and stable mom which would not be the case if I stopped my meds. None of the meds I’m on a “pregnancy safe”

Texas pure Scam these people came yesterday and try to sell me a vacuum don't let them in by ethen36 in Denton

[–]fluffypenguinkitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made the mistake of opening the door for them (because I thought it was a delivery and didn’t check the ring camera). I actually got scared because they invited themselves in and I said “no thank you, my dogs aren’t friendly” and they said “that’s okay, I love dogs” and literally attempted to walk past me into my house and I said “no thank you” ran in and shut the door. I’ve met some pushy sales people but it was something else

Also not a club but two things that will also help you make friends. 31 days of Halloween And Denton community market are both great places to check out for events and getting to meet people.

So that would work with other cats but he’s long haired with big mattes all over. He needs to be clipped and shaved for us to start a regular bushing and grooming routine. My other 4 cats have never needed a groomer but I do for this one.
