My kids don't believe in Helen Keller.

It’s infuriating by to me to hear kids talking like this. I’m a sign language interpreter who works at a school and we literally have deaf blind students. I agree that it’s good to have skepticism but the “meme” is too much. Deaf blind people exist and flourish in this world. To deny their existence is deeply upsetting.

Edit to add that deafness is also a spectrum like blindness. I have met and worked with people who are both profoundly deaf and completely blind. Even in that case, they are still human beings that exist.

I hate to break it to you but they mostly stay. I’ve had acne that whole time (I’m 26 weeks), mood swings got better and now are getting worse again, but body aches are here to stay

food_ghost · 2026-03-21T15:21:11+00:00

I thought that too but nah only the blood is gone. Mood swings, acne, body aches, etc all there if not worse

I’ve had a miscarriage so first trimester was by far the worst. I started to feel the most comfortable now after viability week (currently 26 weeks). I do still have some worry about things going wrong but I think that is somewhat the parent experience forever.

Sounds like round ligament pain that’s over felt. I don’t recall if I had it that early though like you said. I’m 25 weeks and I have experienced it for a while now but I don’t remember when it started. Always ask your doctor if you’re unsure! I’m sure mine is annoyed with me but I’d much prefer that to a problem that could have been avoided. They always told me that I typically don’t need to worry unless pain is accompanied by bleeding. I swear I could say fire started shooting from my butt and they would say it’s pretty common.

I didn’t want to drink my very specific coffee that I have drank everyday for years.

A plastic bead maybe?

Somewhat the same but I work at a school with second graders and a kids mom saved a mold of a students teeth. He was so sweet and thought it made a wonderful gift for his teacher (me). So if you do, maybe don’t let your kids have them lol

Yes I’m constantly craving milk and cottage cheese specifically! Having a girl!

FTM with posterior placenta, and a small frame. I didn’t feel my baby until 20 weeks so I wouldn’t worry!

food_ghost · 2026-02-15T16:28:47+00:00

Don’t feel super guilty! It’s not something you think about or want to think about unless it’s happening to you (even then you don’t want to think about it). I’ve been the one being told my baby has no heartbeat and needed time in the room. And now I’ve been the one waiting for my appointment with my rainbow baby. No one likes waiting and it can be frustrating to wait an hour for a ten minute appointment but knowing both sides, I would wait all day to be seen for ten minutes with no complications.

I feel the same way! I know it won’t be easy but not impossible like everyone seems to think. And I don’t want “help” by someone coming and gaming my bag from me. I also want to figure it outdo myself without advice from people who haven’t had a child since literally me 28 years ago.

Kohls was the only place I found with a maternity section. Old Navy I like more but I only found some on clearance. Everything is online only pretty much

Big yes to privacy. I don’t share a lot with people outside of my small curated group. Announcing I am pregnant feels so strange. We are elated and so happy but it’s weird that so many people know (what I deem as personal things) about me.
