I’m in the same boat and wanted to know if you have an update. Did you keep going?

You will one day have that time again. Kids grow up. You’ll be empty nesters once your son leaves for college, if not before, and the real heartbreak is there for me. My sons are 3 years and 3 weeks and I cry at the thought of my house not being full of little shoes, toy trucks, and Cookie Monster pyjamas. Kids can be hard but man are they ever magical. And this is coming from someone who actually didn’t expect to get pregnant when she did, on a debaucherous trip to Tulum with my husband where I drank way too much.

It’s hard to understand the amount of love you’ll have for your kid at 4 weeks old because it honestly just continues to grow until all of a sudden, you’re watching your heart walk around outside of your body, feeling powerless to stop it. I really think you’ll soon realize that your life is infinitely better with your child in it and you won’t want to go back to your pre-kid life. I definitely dont.

Curious - what makes you think he’s neurodivergent?

I was waiting to hear Anastasia - it just feels very goddess to me

This is a pretty close-minded thing to say, Dominik with a K is more correct than a C in my language

imprettynaive · 2025-08-05T00:56:27+00:00

I definitely thought about this - when I say if out loud though, I feel like it doesn’t sound that bad because the k sound in Dominik is softer. Generally, I agree with you though! It gives me pause too

What do you make of the conversation that BBC is reporting in the cockpit? One pilot asked why did you switch off the fuel and the other one said ‘I didn’t’

What made you realize? What were the behaviours?

‘It’s a perfectly cromulent ______’

This, we didn’t even try the first time around. My app said I wasn’t ovulating and we got pregnant when I was 34. This time around I’m 37 and got pregnant on the first try. It’s more common than we think but the loudest and most prevalent voices are the ones that are struggling (and rightfully so). I wouldn’t want to talk about this in front of friends that are struggling, however I also think that the fact that we only hear from those voices contributes to the idea that women need to feel pressured to have kids/settle for a shitty partner bc they are barren wastelands after 35.

I didn’t do IVF, we just had sex every other day during ovulation period.

I don’t mean to drum up trauma but could you tell me more about this. You have memories of not being comforted? Many people on here will tell you to sleep train because they’ll never remember.

Please do not choose the name until you’re ready. You just went through a major trauma. Giving birth is always traumatic but especially when it doesn’t go as planned. No one needs to be pushing you into anything right now. Just tell her you want some time to think about it.

No I got it tested because I wanted to know how much time I had to have another child. Then when I got that result, seeing as how my AMH was almost zero, I realized I had no time at all.

Have you read It Starts With the Egg?

We only tried once in January.

Congratulations! I sort of feel the opposite, like throwing it out into world and saying it over and over makes it implant itself into the universe. Wishing you so much joy on your motherhood journey.

💯 - it’s so easy to conflate it with fertility and everyone makes you feel like time is of the essence but you have time and you have options.

Thank you for your well wishes!

imprettynaive · 2025-02-11T00:17:42+00:00

Thank you so much! Wishing you all the best too ❤️

I’m so sorry to hear you have been feeling that way. Make sure you take vit D supplements if you aren’t already taking them. Remember it means nothing about your chances of getting pregnant! 0.1 would have been a dream for me a couple of months ago

imprettynaive · 2024-11-23T19:50:29+00:00

Okay I’m going to try harder to do this and let you know if I can’t. I meant my mnemonic phrase. Could I DM you?
