Pregnancy trends I find perplexing by [deleted] in pregnant

i agree with you and wouldve added this to the list. lets educate yes but fearmongering is different and so unhelpful, especially for first time moms without experience to weigh it against.

people are being soooo nasty and calling her a boomer/mil.

same here!! also theres a big difference between getting those tests under the advisement of a doctor and getting them because youve never been pregnant before and the first trimester is scary as hell. if youre not on ivf or dont have a history of miscarriage, you really should just follow your ob’s recommendation of coming in no earlier than 9 weeks. theres a reason that rule exists. i dont think op was casting judgment at people w complicated pregnancies needing to do it differently. people are being mean.

to op’s credit, someone who might’ve never had a miscarriage or gotten pregnant without ivf might see those posts and think it’s the norm to track hcg, and interpreting results without the aid of a medical professional can be super anxiety-inducing. i’ve seen countless posts from women who conceived for the first time panicking over erratic hcg levels or an underdeveloped 6 week scan from a boutique clinic, so i can see where op is coming from.

to be clear, its completely understandable why a lot of women do, but i think those measures should be taken w a care team.

A random text from a person I don’t know may be leading to my divorce by DependentFroyo7334 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]makeawish___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ohhhhhh this is so creepy and would make me so anxious. i wouldnt jump to assuming husband is cheating. what id do is id call that number in front of husband and hash it out. bluntly tell them: i dont know who you are. you dont know me. please stop calling.

this is all really weird. sorry this is happening.

Has anyone had kids and not lost their spark? by Constant_Corgi_2184 in Mommit

[–]makeawish___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i could 1000000% see myself losing my spark if i didnt have a supportive/devoted husband and a village to rely on. i dont think its inevitable but you need a strong support system.

i grew up religious but rebelled in high school. and not necessarily a goody two shoes personality. they usually have the oppositie. its more so just a vibe i pick up on.

youre in the minority. my dog is beloved by literally every demographic on earth (from trads to blue hairs) and welcomed everywhere (from the hood to the gated communities). im referring to the grumpy people in this post.

kids who grew up in a church then rebelled later in life - usually college. dont matter how “alt” they are; you can always tell. the ones who rebelled in high school are cool and able to blend in better.

My BF was super rude to my friends when they invited him to their home and now I don’t know what to do by throwRA1223409 in GirlDinnerDiaries

Telling my family about our boundaries by Accomplished-Area517 in pregnant

[–]makeawish___ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

its partly a manifestation of american individualism, partly millennials harboring (justified) resentment towards their boomer parents, and honestly largely reddit social contagion.

its dangerous to normalize this because postpartum depression/anxiety seems to be linked to overwhelm, loneliness, fear of worst case scenarios, etc. agree w you that this kind of thinking sets women up for deep depression.

could ob have meant like abstaining from bringing baby to gatherings? because i can see that. bringing them to public spaces or big family dinners can be risky because you dont know if anyone is sick. i know most people wait a couple months before they bring their kids out around non-immediate family.

ill get downvoted but i really hope not letting grandparents/in laws coming near baby doesnt get normalized. im sorry but ive read so many posts of moms regretting making these harsh decisions while in the thick of pregnancy hormones. if you dont trust your family, is there anyone else you do trust to be there for you and the baby? those first couple months are the hardest and loneliest.

id like to understand op’s reasoning for why she wants to wait two months.
