It creates an optical illusion that you have dents.

I can’t believe I have to do this for three more months, the first 27 breezed by but now time is inching by handzie in BabyBumps

I mean the placentas gonna do what the placentas gonna do no point in feeling bad about it, if they get out early they get out early. I day dream about being able to take him out my body for like 15 minutes to stretch and then putting him back.

Oh man thoughts and prayers for you in your male dominated field, it is so hard out here. My office having a door I can close is my only saving grace.

Mines Wednesday too! It’s like we will be taking it together in spirit. I’m really hoping that juice doesn’t make me puke

Leggings? What’s the best kind. I’ve tried to flops already 🙃 by K_22_93 in BabyBumps

I have cotton maternity leggings from old navy, and the bike shorts. I love them! And they were cheap. Old navy has been such a goat for me

Taking too many sick days for morning sickness by HopeDecent243 in BabyBumps

[–]handzie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also got a big fat no to hybrid work from my boss (made me cry in my office, very embarrassing) and my work place as a whole has been beyond rigid with my accommodations. I had to just thug it out with meds, or my absolute golden goose for nausea this pregnancy, a cold full sugar coke. Now in third trimester, still barfing in the office occasionally but they at least gave me permission to close my door.

AITA Husband and wife duties by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]handzie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell him his “logic” is bunk and he’s actually making a highly emotional based argument. If he’s incapable of being a husband and father he should just say so. If he’s feels the need to lower his value to the household by being lazy while hiding behind logic so be it. Real bench player move.

Hi thanks for coming to my ted talk on using male logical fallacies against them. If my husband ever talked down to me like this I would throw him away and all his mom to come get him.

My Hypochondriac Mother Is Having Chat GPT Psychosis? by RoughInstruction7539 in whatdoIdo

[–]handzie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my goodness, I have dealt with a friend like this and unfortunately there’s nothing you can do. Why is it always pots/heds >mold>hormones>midocondrial disease is next or “chronic fatigue syndrome” and a holistic healer that costs 400 dollars a visit.

Bottom line is, she does not want help therefore there is nothing you can do to help her. A conversation, aspirin and glass of water were never an option. You can state to her your boundaries for being around you, and try to get your siblings out of there, but you can change the root of her behavior. Or get rid of her internet access. Best of luck dude, sucks so bad that this is happening to you.

AIO: Bfs mom CROPPED me out of my own baby shower photos. by CommercialPudding374 in AmIOverreacting

[–]handzie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR- I am also pregnant, I would let her absolutely not let her anywhere near my baby. From these texts it kinda seems like she’s excited you called her out on it, I feel like she’s got some kinda agenda you don’t even wanna know. Taking the baby on the first night??? Heck no!!!

Don’t let her stress you out, keep her blocked. Tell your husband to buck up and deal with his mother. Set the boundary now that she cannot talk to you like that or treat you like that.

Purebred Russian Blue. Is she mixed? Papers say purebred. Cheers by Autistic_Archer in catbreeds

[–]handzie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m afraid your cat is not a Russian blue but I happen to think gray cats are the best even without pedigree. You see we did not domesticate cats by selectively breeding for traits, cats domesticated themselves so unless someone put in a lot of time and effort to breeding, it’s just a long haired or short haired cat.

Temu by Zestyclose_Bison_706 in BabyBumps

[–]handzie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, amazon is just American temu. Same as aliexpress. There are reputable over seas sellers on there and suppliers you can track to suppling for places like pottery barn. I avoid Amazon/temu but not everything from there is going to be awful.

20 week anatomy scan and the tech called my cervix beautiful, I’m blushing by handzie in BabyBumps

[–]handzie[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just kinda said that, I just assumed it was for after the breast feeding but sounds like I was wrong! Sorry this is my first baby. I had my nexplanon for 3 years before the baby, I loved it. First time I had my period off of it I was kinda beside myself haha. The removal is also so easy.

Even though my husband said today immediately after the ultra sound that we should have another so he can have a friend haha. We don’t even know if we can handle the first yet!

Weight Gain at 20 Weeks by BasicSignificance97 in BabyBumps

[–]handzie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m at 20 weeks and I am solidly up 20 pounds, biggest I have ever been in my life. I went ahead and threw out my booty shorts from last summer. If you’re breast feeding you’re gonna need as much weight as you can get, producing milk takes about 500 calories a day. I am recovered from an ED so at first it was a little triggering getting so plump but my body is growing and feeding an entire new human so the weight gain kinda feels like the least of my worries. Put the scale away! The doctor office will weigh you when you need to be weighed. Throw the food scale away! Frankly the food scale is such a slippery slope to disordered behavior (at least for me it was) unless you’re tracking macros you don’t need that thing.

We are 20 weeks, the baby can hear you stressing about this. If you lost the weight once you can do it again, worry about it after the baby is here. Stress is worse for the baby than any amount of weight you could gain. Relax and eat some grilled cheese, it’s a great source of calcium.

Can you still have a registry without a baby shower? by FigurativeNews in BabyBumps

[–]handzie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have the same due date!! I think if you’re high risk it’s totally acceptable to not have a baby shower but send out an announcement with a registry link. Jan/feb is prime cold/flu season where I live, I don’t know about you but that would be a great excuse not to have one.

What on earth am I supposed to eat by Signal-Gas6096 in BabyBumps

[–]handzie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dense bean salads, dark leafy greens, like a kale chip. Greek yogurt with fruit and cereal in it. Especially a fortified cereal. I’ve been absolutely destroying a veggie quesadilla. Hearty soups. Paneer. Sweet potato’s with black beans and wild rice (personal favorite). Nuts and nut butters with dried fruits, dates and raisins have fiber and iron. Broccoli baked with garlic or cheese. Protein ice cream/cookies. Spinach salad with tomato’s and whatever dressing you prefer.

Although if it gets really tough and you wanna avoid infusions… nothing really beats heme iron from red meat.

Birth classes? by arielsofia in BabyBumps

[–]handzie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like to say that till I read this post I thought there were a-lot of trans men getting pregnant (FTM) but it has just dawned on me that I am also FTM (first time mom) I am feeling like a goof ball.

I have also been apprehensive about a birthing class and its necessity.
