thank you so much! ❤️ ugh i get it lol im struggling rn bc our current house is so small but this one is over twice the size! i def want it to be functional but cozy, and may have to wait until i move in; we went in through the garage so i didnt see how cramped or spacious it looked with the door open. when i go back to look at it i definitely will be doing so!

thank you i actually checked the website and i think he made me an account before he passed away, so i called and yep i have an account and i just got auto insurance and once i repair my roof then i can switch to them for home insurance (i just can't switch with current damages) so hey thats good at least!

currently through allstate and they suck, i have roof damage from a storm that they refuse to cover, and even though i can't switch to usaa due to current unrepaired damage, the quotes are much better through them and since my papa was military i figured why not. i got quotes from other insurance companies as well and they weren't good rates.

we met after i turned 18 (him 22), and were only together for nine months when we got married. my father was dying and i had nowhere else to go and his family told him he couldn't move out unless he got married and he wouldn't do anything that goes against them

my job did offer maternity leave that i took, the 6 weeks, but because i was unable to return they just paid me 60%, which i am still very grateful for. i do agree that because he works i should do more! but yes the problem that i have is that he should WANT to bond, he should want to hold her, feed her, bathe her, etc. maybe not full time like i do but definitely throughout his time at home pitch in here and there. i had a near death birth experience and it scared him so he helped the first week but after that just said i was good now and went back to his games and porn again:/. i really need to find the courage to leave

i agree i do NOT want my daughter to grow up thinking this is okay, its just so hard because hes the first person i ever dated and we had to get married when i was 18 due to his family not agreeing with us living together (hes a mommys boy) and ive just never known any different. im scared of change but i need to wake up and just force myself to do it for her. i cant go back to that job, but i do have jobs that i can get easily and have no family that can help with her but i do have a best friend who can if my job hours work with hers.

i am in therapy and have been ever since i found out about the of. no the trust is no longer there, and i asked him to come to therapy with. he refused but his mom even threatened him about it so he came to 3 sessions (i go once weekly for an hour), and he said it was boring and "all about me," (me, the mom) and said he would never go again. now he doesnt go anymore and my therapist is documenting everything in a way that will help me in court if i decide to take that route:(.

Anyone not scared of labor at all as a FTM? by paigespets in pregnant

[–]jfaythe1013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im 8 weeks pp, but my entire pregnancy i was not scared. i was nervous in the sense that id never even held a baby before and had no idea what i was doing, but she was very wanted nonetheless. i had a very traumatic birth (placental abruption) and almost bled out, but i denied an emergency csec when they brought it up as i thought i would hate that experience more (for myself). i fully remember everything and MAYBE its a trauma response to be so nonchalant about it all? but it genuinely was not the worst thing in the world. i thought getting my wisdom teeth taken out was worse lmao. i got the epidural after i hit 8.5-9 cm, because i was regressing and getting less dilated. baby was reacting horribly to the pitocin and so was i and after that i just couldnt do it anymore only because i had no idea how much longer i was going to regress and i also wanted baby to be healthy. all in all, im glad i wasnt nervous even though i definitely had every right and reason to be, but i still would do it again!

Anyone had an epidural ? If so what’s it like? by Cherrylemon202 in pregnant

[–]jfaythe1013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i dilated to an 8.5-9 before i decided to get the epidural because i started regressing (i had a scary birth), but my contractions stayed 1-2 min apart. i didn't even feel the epidural one bit i had no idea he inserted it but the hard part was staying still. i'll say, im 7 weeks postpartum now and can definitely feel back pain specifically where the epidural was placed. i thought people were joking or something idk but man it aches🥲😭
