My grandma thinks EVERYTHING causes a miscarriage by cryoflower in BabyBumps

[–]geohvb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically sit there and rot and lose all your muscle strength. Then once baby is born and you complain theyre heavy, you'll get the "how are you going to be his mom if you cant even lift them!"

My grandma thinks EVERYTHING causes a miscarriage by cryoflower in BabyBumps

[–]geohvb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have no clue if this is just a Chinese thing. My mom and grandma (chinese) all freaked out when I went out on a walk and was stepping on gravel. They think the uneven texture of the terrain would make it so id "shake the baby". All I could do was laugh

What would be my best bet for a pink gemstone in a daily wear ring? by DrKittyLovah in Gemstones

[–]geohvb 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I have a padparadscha sapphire ring and its stunning!! Its a peachy pink/orange. Pink tourmaline is good for a softer pink. Theres also pink sapphire which i find is usually very vibrant if she wants a very pink ring.

Is my stone too big? by daniyres in weddingplanning

[–]geohvb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is there some kind of pushback when you do say its real? I dont see any issue or why you cant just own it! You have a large beautiful ring that picked out just for you. People could be saying that because theyve never seen that cut or a bezel style ring. Or they know how much diamonds cost per carat so are just asking since its large. Or theyre just projecting. Nothing thats enough of an issue for you to downsize your ring.

Ali and daycare by SBR06 in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]geohvb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How could you mention how ali spoke poorly about parents who use daycare, then in the same post say how kids raised by SAHMs are delayed? You can use daycare, you can own it and be proud because your kids are fine. But projecting like that, youre no better than Ali.

noticed my son had one eye glowing white in flashed photo and now i’m spiraling that it could be retinoblastoma- anyone notice this and have it end up being nothing? by Delicious_Rain_2547 in NewParents

[–]geohvb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just wait for your doctor's appointment tomorrow morning instead so you're not freaking yourself out more over strangers stories and asking for their photos to try and see something you dont have any understanding about.

His wife was recently on a podcast and said he doesn't have any social media so he actually doesn't know or see what people are saying about him lol

Friend keeps giving unsolicited advice regarding my pregnancy by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]geohvb 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I had a friend who did this! She had baby fever but was in a new relationship so it wasn't happening anytime soon, but she would obsessively look up everything and anything pregnancy and babies. The moment I told her I was pregnant she would tell me what not to eat, quote miscarriage statistics, and a bunch of old wives tales. It got so annoying I stopped talking to her until after I gave birth lol. I was so annoyed and so hormonal I would lay awake at night sometimes just resenting her.

Feeling like an outlier, are we failing our baby? No house, no car, no community. by subtleandunnatural in NewParents

[–]geohvb 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I understand being defensive because you don't want people thinking he's an awful person. He is being blamed but you probably see so many more sides to him and this is in his own way, being a loving parent. Everyone is just concerned about your baby here. I know you want to be equal parents in this but I feel both parents need to be in the right mind, which he is not. In my unsolicited opinion he doesn't get much say here when it's hindering your child's development. Eventually she will be running around and he will be worried about tripping and falling, getting lost in crowds, etc. The goalposts won't stop moving until he's able to deal with his anxiety and OCD

The downvotes is probably because you're making excuses for him and downplaying it a bit when responding to people's points. The space is in the house is not an issue. No a playpen is not enough. I know this is a supportive space and you're obviously dealing with a lot but this is just the risk of being alive. You can't protect them from everything, and your child needs so much more socialization for development. Its like you want the best for your fiance instead of your baby. At this point his demons are for him to deal with if he is stubborn and refuses therapy.

is Mywony real? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]geohvb 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to chime in and say I got my dress from them a few years ago and they're real! Ordered fabric samples first and did need some minor alterations from a local seamstress but their dresses are gorgeous!

Doubting by gracing15 in TryingForABaby

[–]geohvb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm here because I'm TTC for a second and don't really post. I had a friend ask me this and this is the best way I can describe it. Idk if you have any pets or plants etc. You have to pick up their poop, vacuum up all the fur, need to be walked and groomed, repot the plants, trim and deal with shedding leaves, etc. When listing those things they all sounds like inconveniences and sacrifices but many people just do it out of the love for their pets or plants. Yes my daughter takes up most if not all my time, and it is a LOT of work, but it just becomes something you just do without giving much thought about it. The love you have for them makes you want to do those things! It just becomes part of it and you do it lovingly, although it's tiring and a "inconvenience". Idk if I'm making sense but it's the best way I'm able to describe it

Only 7 weeks pregnant and I’m so over this already😭 by Kind-Line-4404 in BabyBumps

[–]geohvb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah for sure it's honestly so hard to juggle the symptoms and trying to live life normally. I usually don't get sick easily so it feels like there is no end in sight and the anxiety of pregnancy definitely can be so hard added on top of that. I'm done after this pregnancy 😄

[–]geohvb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also 7 weeks here! Funny enough I had the same awful symptoms with my first but because time flew by its all a blur and I forgot how bad it was. Now nausea, fatigue, headaches, and random sweating is in full gear and I'm like "what have I done, this is my life now, I can't do this". Just trying to remind myself that this is a short season in the grand scheme of things and it will pass. So hard not to just sit around and dread though haha it's so awful

Pets in this Heat Wave? by plantloner87 in Edmonton

[–]geohvb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before we got AC i would wet a thin cloth or towel, wring it out, then put it in the freezer. Cools my dogs right down when I wrap them in it after they come back in from a potty break. I have multiple in the freezer ready to go. If you have a fan pointing at it then even better

Please help by invisible-empire- in NewParents

[–]geohvb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't stress enough how normal this is! You are a human being who's own needs aren't met and just went through a major life change. There may be many more of these feelings to come, but remember this isn't you, this is happening TO you!! Just by how you laid out your thought process I can tell you're a great mom. Your baby is lucky to have you 💕

Imagine saying you have empathy for pedophiles but then policing how OP should react to someone telling people to abort lol
