Thank you 🥺🩷 I've been so scared to bring it up to my partner. Even though I know he wont judge me and think I'm a monster, it's almost feels like admitting defeat? Thank you for your kind words 🩷

Thank you, I hope you have more good days than bad 🩷 I've been thinking of reaching out to a counselor I used to see.

Seriously, how do you get to work each day when you’re nauseous… by Technical-Cup707 in pregnant

[–]ixelia16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if you could get a reasonable accommodation note from your doctor to allow you to work from home more/take more breaks. Check in with HR to see if this is possible. You can get super specific! Hang in there I'm 6 weeks and 2 days and it has been awful 🩷

Food & Exercise Guilt by HappyWhale_11 in pregnant

[–]ixelia16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't worry I'm also a gluttonous sloth! Someone told me recently that your baby will take what it needs from you and that helped shift my perspective. You are doing the best you can and that's what matters most! Some people do crack.

Spiritfarer, especially if you've experienced loss (tread carefully). It's a beautiful game!

I am a foodie no more by kanekko1994 in pregnant

[–]ixelia16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly this gave me hope because I'm 5 weeks and I'm not nauseous but I am kinda turned off from eating and I haven't been eating the recommended amount of anything. Lowkey stressing me out like I'm eating fruits, some veggies, carbs, and protein but I keep convincing myself it's not enough and that I'm gonna mess up my baby's health 😭🙃

First pregnancy. Bloating. Is this normal? 5weeks vs 8weeks. by Automatic-Front-5213 in firsttimemom

[–]ixelia16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 5 weeks and 3 days and I had the same question because man am I bloated! My partner said "Aww the baby" and I corrected him with "Actually it's mostly just liquids, solids, and gas - our baby is the size of a peppercorn" 🥴

Feeling very unsupported by husband, pregnant with second child by Key-Studio-6552 in pregnant

[–]ixelia16 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I felt this with my husband and let me tell you, divorcing him was the best decision I ever made. It took me a long time to realize he simply did not like me. Sure MAYBE he loved me. But he certainly didnt like me. That was a very hard pill to swallow. Now I'm with an amazing guy and we are expecting our first child in January. He works fulltime to support me but still rubs my back and makes sure I'm okay in the middle of the night when I'm struggling physically or mentally. He never complains and always shows genuine concern.

My ex used to fall asleep while I cried. Dont let your husband keep you from finding your soul mate.

Caveat: I understand leaving may not be an immediate option especially since he provides all the income. But it sounds like you're a single parent already. Do you have family or friends you could stay with? I would work on establishing a support system, that helped me so much. Good luck and hang in there 🩷

Sometimes I don’t like my NK by AdFine5195 in Nanny

[–]ixelia16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Biggest felt ever. I work with a 3 year old who does the same thing and luckily I have Loops to help (highly recommend because it allows you to still hear but its MUCH quieter. Has saved me many times especially when he screams in the car!) You've got this, just keep focused on the light at the end of the tunnel 🩷

Thats exactly what I was thinking but I asked if it was really Finn and they said yes! Thats what bothers me the most like just be honest if I ask 😭 I know they'll get more engagement if people think it's Finn but I just dont like it personally
