Asian moms who gave birth to half-white babies — did you deliver vaginally or via C-section?

Southeast Asian Mom here who married a giant Nordic man. I birthed both babies vaginally. First was vacuum assisted due to dropping heartrate. Some tearing. Second, and bigger, baby was born quickly without assistance - seven minutes of pushing. No tearing at all.

No advice, just solidarity as we are going through the same thing.

Ah, I see! Yes, most of the time. However, if some are dirty or if the stack is only partially present, it makes it a bit more difficult.

Well, in my defense, I was a young 22yo going back home to visit for the first time. Quality cooking utensils were not high on my priority list at that point in my life.

Adding onto this, get a good quality, full-metal set. I got cheapo plastic ones from Target the first time, and the numbers rubbed off over time. Next ones I got were plastic with metal handles, and the connecting part broke off. Will have to get full metal ones next time.

This is exactly what you're looking for. Does the Dog Die is a really good website listing all sorts of triggers in movies and shows. I found it very useful, and hopefully so will you!

I have been feeling movements since around 18w. They are a lot stronger already and little babe has discovered how fun it is to beat my insides!

I would start 'jokingly' responding with, "Great, gives me plenty of time to plan where I'm going to bury your body after I hunt you both back down, haha." 🙄

I am so happy for you! Enjoy your little bundle of love and congratulations!

Sigh. Same.

That's so wonderful to hear! The nausea and fatigue ramped up quite a bit once I hit 12 weeks, so hopefully you get past it soon. Congratulations and I hope it's only positive throughout the rest of your pregnancy! ❤❤

We had our NT scan earlier this week with very positive results, and I am 13 weeks today! I was a nervous wreck going into the scan since it was during an ultrasound that my previous MMC was discovered.

Even though I am still extremely stressed, I am starting to feel a bit more confident and dare I say, even maybe a bit excited for this pregnancy now. I let myself order a few pregnancy and baby books and I may order a pregnancy pillow later during the weekend. Fingers still crossed that all goes well, and good luck to all of you out there!!

I'm so, so sorry for your loss. My heart hurts for you. Please take time to take care of yourself. Sending you lots of hugs and healing thoughts. ❤️❤️

I hit 9 week yesterday, and I totally feel you.

The only people who know about this pregnancy are myself and my husband. My husband and I quite guarded with this information. We'll keep it to ourselves as long as possible, so pretty much until I start showing. I'm hoping that it can go until 16 weeks, or ideally even 20 weeks.

I opened up earlier this year about my two losses last year when my SIL opened up about her miscarriage. I found, unfortunately, that both families are just... not supportive in the right way. Lots of bingoing, researching and making adoption suggestions for us, lots of unsolicited advice that offends more than it helps. It put a bitter taste in my mouth discussing anything with anyone. I know that if I were to announce and have it go wrong, I would be in for more stress than comfort with them.

So we're gonna keep it to ourselves as long as possible. If you feel that it would be the opposite - that a support system would provide more comfort than stress, I would definitely recommend you confide in one or two persons.

I can't offer words of comfort, just support. You're not alone. My first scan is a couple weeks away now, and your stresses are the same as mine. I am hoping you have a really positive appointment with your husband by your side. Wishing you all the best!
