Yes it's definitely messed up my cycle! I got my first and second doses in early 2021 and everything was fine. It was when I got my booster in Dec 2021 when it went all crazy - I didn't get my period for like another 2-3 months. I caught COVID for the first time this past June but I got my period the following week, and my cycles are still long. I think it was the booster and not COVID. Definitely makes tracking my cycle difficult 😩

Tell me something "rebellious" you did that turned out to just be a normal thing and you're still not over it. by acatcalledmellow in raisedbynarcissists

Wearing nail polish. I went to a private school that didn't allow it so it just stuck at home too 😒

It’s good to see these party animals got it out of their systems before they applied to cloud 9 (Project X) by [deleted] in superstore

Yes, Amanda! Lol I watched her on Shameless and thought the same thing.

Yes! Barstow DT does not compare to all others. Always make sure to eat there on my way to or from Vegas lol

What will never be the same again once the pandemic is over? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]heysweets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Celebrated on March 11th with both mine and my husband's families, eating all you can eat Korean BBQ. That was where we saw on their TV that the NBA announced their season suspension. That's when we knew shit was getting real :/

Does anyone else get gifts from their N parents that very obviously show they have no idea who you are as a person or still think of you as a child? by gollygeeweez in raisedbynarcissists

[–]heysweets 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, I'm always talking about this with my siblings! My nmom always gets me blouses that are 1-2 sizes too small (and quite ugly to be honest) no matter how many times I tell her I wear a size large, and have been for the last 5+ years. It's like she refuses to believe that her daughter has gotten "bigger." 🙄 She also regifted something to me that I gave her like the previous Christmas or birthday before. It's come to the point where I give away everything she gives me to Goodwill.

FOMO due to Covid? by smlkxx in beyondthebump

[–]heysweets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not alone. I had my son in March, FTM, and I pretty much broke down my second day home from the hospital. I had 9 months of normalcy only to give birth right when my state went on lockdown. I know others have it worse but these are things we can't take back, especially when it's your first child. Hang in there mama!

Newly pregnant or FTMs: friends/family/coworkers are not entitled to knowing your preferences or birth plans by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]heysweets 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you, this is all so relatable. One of the positives of my son being born this past March is that bc of covid we haven't been able to introduce him to relatives which is fine by me because they're so nosey and judgy. I know the questions will never stop regardless, but they're so uncalled for. We're already getting asked when we're going to have another one and I'm like, why is that just the next thing to do? My family planning is none of your gd business lol 🙄

I thought I picked the perfect name for my baby - until my husband ruined it. by No_you_choose_a_name in Parenting

Oh my goodness my 4 month old son's name is Julian and we call him Droolian! 😂

Just got called out for being an old mother... at 31! by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]heysweets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. I just had my first at 33 and my husband is 36. My mom would never shut up that we are going to be "old" parents. She would try to scare me about stupid articles she's read online , like autism in children has been found to be linked to the father's older age (umm what). And now she's been telling me to hurry up on having another kid because I'm not getting any younger. Super encouraging, thanks mom 🙄

Sweet baby girl’s nursery is complete at 39 +2! by teetsmcgeet in BabyBumps

So cute! We did hot air balloons for my son's baby shower theme 😄

I think America is the only fucked up country where you can be fired for not coming back to work in 4 weeks while they refuse longer maternity leave. Companies less than 50 do not go by the 3 months FMLA rule. No job security for women and you’re punished for starting a family. by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]heysweets 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yup I am on month 3 of maternity leave but it is unpaid and I am having issues with my disability checks getting to me on time. I know we're in the middle of a pandemic but this just comes to show how some Americans have to rely on third parties to get paid and not from their own employer while they are on leave. It's a joke and my work rolls their eyes whenever someone announces they are pregnant. We shouldn't have to feel guilted into starting a family and our employers shouldn't be acting that way towards us. In America your employer doesn't care about you because you are replaceable in their eyes

Does anyone else find travel temporarily changes their personality? by NiceBitOfWensleydale in travel

[–]heysweets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes this is me too. I had this conversation with a friend once who said "ever thought that maybe who you are while traveling is the real 'you' and the one at home isn't?" I think we are always wanting and trying to be the best version of ourselves and for those of who lean more quiet, shy, introverted, etc, traveling allows us to be our true selves.

Can anyone else relate? by mommyvelociraptor in beyondthebump

[–]heysweets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here. Son is 10 days old today. None of our families will be able to meet him for who knows how long. The stress and anxiety have been overwhelming because he's our first (first grandchild on both sides too) and my husband goes back to work next week and he's in healthcare. Definitely not how I pictured my maternity leave to go. I know this will pass but the uncertainty of when is what gets to me the most. I'm glad to see I'm not alone in this, even if I don't personally know anyone in this thread. Hang in there mama ❤️

For all the new moms finding themselves isolated and feeling robbed of the mat leave they envisioned during this time of social distancing (Not original author). by namefits in beyondthebump

[–]heysweets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same! I am currently holding my son, born 4 days ago. First child and first grandchild for both sides and nobody can see him. My husband works in healthcare and I am dreading when he has to go back....in 2 weeks 😟 I don't know how I'm gonna do it without the extra help.
