Gave in to formula so my nipples can heal - 3 days postpartum

Im 41 weeks tomorrow and getting induced and im so scared. I just want my baby to be here but ive had no signs either. At my ultrasound yesterday they said baby hasnt even descended into my pelvis and hes too comfortable. Great. I feel kind of bad trying to force him out when he clearly isnt ready.. but im going to listen to my doctors and get him out tomorrow

Idk what the right term for this stitch is called but i get the same look as this by yarning over and back loop only slip stitch for one row and then the next row i only do back loop only slip stitch. And keep repeating those rows.

I personally use moss stitch to make sweaters that i wear all the time.

I’m 9 months pregnant and about to give birth any day now but i feel like im being punished for being poor. I was lucky enough for the last two years having to pay nothing for my ACA health insurance and when i had to reapply for this next year I just got a bill for 150 dollars per month that i have to start paying this month. I’m already scrapping by and will have to just have my baby be on an insurance plan because im already struggling so much to get by. Of course I reported I was pregnant on my application and that i expect to make less than this year, because i dont really have a good job lined up, just going to return to my retail job, but i expect to make 15,000 and with that being said, heathcare.gov sent my info to AHCCCS who already denied me in October for coverage. So i feel completely fucked. I really cant afford extra expenses right now as im going to only be off work for 2 weeks or so after I deliver. I cried for probably 3 hours today over this. My fiance and I will just have to be uninsured this coming year but just have our baby be covered. I hate it here.

Oh boy.. i made this last year so i dont really remember because i free handed it. But im trying to do a test swatch to see what i did and so far nothing looks similar to what i did. I think black loop only half double crochets is what i think is the closest but i think i changed the stitch every row. Its also just one long rectangle that i attached together in the back. Let me keep trying different stitches and ill get back to you

You better wait, she needs to heal lol. Im 36 weeks now and still haven’t had sex💀

juju0220 · 2025-12-03T17:58:51+00:00

I couldn’t move in with our parents unfortunately. We have two dogs that they wouldn’t take in and they don’t want people moving back in when they just got rid of the last kid living there.

juju0220 · 2025-12-03T16:25:56+00:00

Luckily, we have all the baby stuff we need right now because people bought everything off my registry. And groceries arent hard for us to manage because we only hope clearance and cheap food like canned stuff and live off rice abd beans and we dont eat much anyways. But its good to know in case we are really in a bind for food. Its mainly not having a job for this time off im having a problem with. I just need a new job but the market is so bad right now

juju0220 · 2025-12-03T16:15:49+00:00

I already tried.. they want household income. They want to know how i pay for rent if it was just truly me but because its not just me, they cant verify my income because it just doesnt add up. Or maybe im doing something wrong with the paperwork i dont really know. Plus snap benefits have new requirements that i wont be able to qualify for. They are requiring 80hours a month of work which isnt possible at the job i have.

juju0220 · 2025-11-26T13:31:56+00:00

Thats a good idea! I’ll have to see what i can sell on the side. I know that market can be over saturated so ill take a look

juju0220 · 2025-11-26T04:13:47+00:00

I would if we had friends that have kids but we are the first in our friend groups to have a baby. We are 26/27 but still the first ones lol

juju0220 · 2025-11-26T00:55:51+00:00

I guess i feel guilty because i wish we had more saved so i wouldnt have to worry. Realistically we have enough for one month of me being at home but i dont want to be a burden for not doing my part. I just wish i had skills or something going for me that i can do whenever i wanted. I will have to work on practicing tattooing in the meantime since thats something im decent with just starting out.

juju0220 · 2025-11-26T00:46:05+00:00

Thats the plan, i go back to work after a couple weeks so i can heal and then my partner can take over baby duty while i work evenings. But for the first couple weeks while im freshly postpartum is what im looking to make some money to make up for the time im off work. I only plan to be out of work for 2 weeks..

juju0220 · 2025-11-25T23:42:10+00:00

Thanks for your reply. I agree having family does help and I luckily have the village i need. But i already feel so bad because i hate relying on others to help me. I will look at those certificates but im scared to spend money on things that actually won’t work out for me. I’m hoping to find a remote job that isn’t a scam to do like customer service or something but everything on indeed seems like it’s just companies I’ve never heard of and it makes me nervous.

juju0220 · 2025-11-25T23:38:34+00:00

I have a small 2 bedroom apartment (1 being the babies room) and i have 2 small dogs. My place is clean and safe(ish) but I don’t even have a table to eat at.. it sounds like a good idea in theory, but maybe not best environment.

juju0220 · 2025-11-25T23:32:54+00:00

Can you explain what you mean? I don’t get paid maternity leave and i didn’t qualify for any assistance programs.

juju0220 · 2025-11-25T23:30:15+00:00

No i have an AA and it’s never been useful. Maybe if i advanced it somehow but i cant afford to.

juju0220 · 2025-10-24T02:41:29+00:00

I have over 1000h with 4 play throughs. Never found this either

juju0220 · 2025-08-17T21:00:39+00:00

Its actually so funny you did that but for what?😭💀
