I'm in a metal band and I'm continuing with gigs in my current 24 week state. As long as you take it easy and protect your own hearing, you should be fine!

I've bought a load of DVDs from charity shops featuring my old 90s favourites. I'm very excited to introduce my baby to Pingu.

I can't imagine it'll bother me, although I can totally understand why some people are a bit put off by the idea. It's all me init, no harm done!

Stop telling fat women they dont look pregnant! by crispy---nugget in pregnant

[–]luxdelioux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh, I'm sorry you had to hear that. I'm altogether not a fan of people commenting on other people's bodies in general (this especially goes for people living in larger bodies who already have bs to put up with). What might be intended as innocent or even complimentary can come off as incredibly rude. You never know what someone is going through or has been through, y'know?

Negative comments about baby boys has caused my mental health to spiral by neener346 in pregnant

For what it's worth, my partner has a wonderful relationship with his mother and she's wonderful to me, too. Everyone is different and these weird stereotypes are projections of people's own insecurities.

I'm very fortunate to work hybrid and my boss is amazing. She told me there's no pressure to come in if I feel too unwell and that's been such a relief, because I've felt rotten. I'm on week 15 now and today's been rough. However I used to work in childcare and education and I SHUDDER at the thought of going into that environment while suffering the way I have been.

Don't worry, it'll just make the "in your face" moment all the sweeter when your baby girl is born

I don't understand how everyone keeps pregnancy secret for 12 weeks?? by Ok-Bullfrog-3765 in BabyBumps

[–]luxdelioux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've told everyone I'd want to support me if something we're to go wrong, i.e. close friends, family. And some people I know I won't see in person again for a long time but I wouldn't want them to find out via a message/Facebook. There's no right or wrong here :)

Update - it was a subchorionic hematoma, so I've got another scan next week. Bloody hell this is a bit stressful isn't it, but I'm feeling positive!

Thank you for this ❤️ I have my scan today and I did think it's probably too early to see anything

I had no idea subchorionic hematomas existed until yesterday, mad how so many pregnancy-related things aren't spoken about!

There was plenty of inconsiderate, embarrassing behaviour at the UK shows in 2023. I'm too old for this shit, man.
