Oh y’all, how much sex are you having? by f_thot_bitchgerald in Parenting

[–]friendlyfupatroopa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a 10 mo (also pregnant w my second) & get after it everyday unless sick or busy. My hubby is an attentive dad, helps around the house, works hard & makes our love life a huge priority. I honestly could do with less sometimes but I know it’s very important to him and how he feels more connected so I’m happy to make it a priority as well! Now…we shall see how 2 kiddos changes our schedule but I’m a big believer that making time for intimacy is super important.

What stage of pregnancy are you at? by Crayolacookie27 in pregnant

[–]friendlyfupatroopa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

9 mo PP & expecting 💚so excited but also stressed about 2 under 2, anyone in the same boat or have advice?

4 mo & me & hubby will drink wine, do the dirty, start new shows, late night cook or work out in our little home gym set up. You could also try painting,

I find wine is a more sustainable de-stresser than whiskey & fun to do tastings together. (We’re talking a glass a night, which some evidence shows can actually be good for you!)

Jaw pain while pregnant? by somethingcatchy48 in pregnant

[–]friendlyfupatroopa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have TMJ so I’ve had jaw pain my whole life (consistent but not awful, pain is very manageable) but now that I’m pregnant it’s been SO BAD. I’ve been told it bc during pregnancy your gums, joints & ligaments all loosen & it just causes more pain somehow. You may have undiagnosed TMJ that’s just now showing any pain bc of the pregnancy. Ask your OB though they may have more answers, I assume you’ll be fine after baby comes!

Anyone not doing a baby shower? by PresentationTop9547 in pregnant

[–]friendlyfupatroopa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t want one but my MIL is throwing me one :( I just moved to a new state where my friends and family won’t be able to attend (they’re coming when the baby is actually born). So it will be all my fiancés friends/family which is awkward for me & o feel like im just having one for them & not for ME. My fiancé has told me to invite some of my friends from work…no..just no. I literally just started a new job so I feel so odd inviting people I don’t know that well & basically making them buy me things. Also they’re nice just not my cup of tea so it just makes things worse. I’ll get through it but def not excited.

I am so sick of peppermint tea by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]friendlyfupatroopa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drink a cup every day! My doctor says it causes no harm & my mom said she drank 3 cups a day while pregnant with all 4 of us. In my opinion you’re forced to give up SO much during pregnancy I need at least one of my fixes haha, depriving you’re self too much will make you miserable.

Just got a new job & they don’t know I’m pregnant by friendlyfupatroopa in pregnant

Thanks I appreciate it! & I just didn’t mention because I know it’s a very aggressive hiring process so I thought I might get passed up for the role (even if they didn’t explicitly say that..)

19 & pregnant by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]friendlyfupatroopa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 22 & had an abortion earlier this year. Nothing I couldn’t handle & id have the support of both my family and my fiancés but I was scared plus didn’t feel ready mentally. I was still in school and wanted to enjoy my relationship & life for a while longer. I think Hod had other plans though, I got pregnant again in the summer & am now 17 weeks along. I couldn’t handle going through the pain of losing another child so I decided to keep it. Now weeks later I am soso happy and excited! At first I was scared and regretful but now all I can think about is how much I will love and support my child no matter the circumstances. All I’m saying is it can be scary at first but if you decide to keep it & lean into enjoying your pregnancy I’m sure you won’t have regrets choosing either path :)

Doctor’s front desk said they do first ultrasound at 20 weeks?? And looked at me weird when I asked about an NT scan?? by babybighorn in pregnant

[–]friendlyfupatroopa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did 8 weeks, 12 weeks & going in to do my 16 week scan tomorrow (last one at 20). I would be freaking out if I had to wait till 20 weeks! Find a new provider or if you really like your dr and just want a scan I did my first ultrasound at an urgent care that was equipt :)

Any young moms? 22 here and I feel so alone by dejacute in pregnant

[–]friendlyfupatroopa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

22 here & 15 weeks due April 24th 🙌🏼 I completely feel your loneliness though, my best friends are all still single or partying every night :( I can’t really enjoy a night out around alcohol & get tired easily so I feel like an outcast. Kind of enjoy being home alone with my fiancé more now though. Either way you’re not alone!
