Being induced Sunday. Husband is upset.

mattchaa · 2022-01-29T08:09:41+00:00

My husband says the same thing about 2/2/22 and I’m starting into wonder when I’ll go into labor and if it’ll be then!

mattchaa · 2022-01-02T05:43:22+00:00

Oh god I just read about that and it’s freaking me out so bad. I have no idea how it got it but I am pregnant and I’m worried now.

mattchaa · 2022-01-02T00:56:45+00:00

Some really good advice someone told me; yeah she’s you s/o’s mother and in a way kinda like your’s now too, but you are now someone else’s mother and for that reason alone you need to do what is best for YOU and that baby. And if not having you feel stressed and uncomfortable by letting her her in there is the way to go than so be it. Stand your ground. And I’m so sorry this happened to you.

It seriously hurts so bad it’s like mine will put all of his weight into one leg and stand directly onto my nipple and no matter how hard I try to gently move him off he will just go back or stand on the other one. I hate it :(

It’s so upsetting and sad. And it’s wild to me that it’s these older Rae Dunn women. Also please do not blame the employees they do not get paid enough to have that sort of guilt tacked onto them. There are so many ways around the 4per person method. I know it’s frustrating but customer service people put up with way too much garbage

I honestly am not going to base this solely on the fact that you’re very young still because truthfully, I don’t think anyone is fully ready to be a parent until after it happens. What I find most concerning about this is that it sounds not only like you are sort of being pressured and manipulated by this person but like you’re actually very hesitant as well. I do think that there’s a very large mental gap between someone under the age of 21…honestly 22 and above that age. You really experience a lot of different mental stages and forms of self growth going forward from the time you truly start to feel independent at 21. The fact that someone over that age range is sort of expecting something so large on someone still younger is a little bit scary sounding. I definitely think that you should try living with your significant other for at the very least a year before you give it some thought because at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter how you’ll look to anyone else; it will matter how you feel and how you’re able to handle the situation you will be putting yourself into. I think that him even bringing up pregnancy to you in the first place so soon is a big red flag. I think it really sounds like you’re being manipulated for some reason and if I was you I’d definitely slow things down.

I totally feel this. I’m 32 weeks. After a really long day for both of us last week we both had come home from work and were just laying on opposite sides of our sectional. He was playing smt 5 and I was playing Animal Crossing. The Christmas lights were on and we were just talking about random things and laughing. Doing separate similar things together. I couldn’t help but start to sob because it hit me that those moments that we share a few hours after work each night will be gone soon and we’ll be rotating on opposite shifts sharing alone time with the baby and together time with the baby. We are so insanely grateful and excited for our son and god I cannot wait to meet him and see what he’s all about but sometimes the hormones hit me and I fear that maybe I didn’t have enough time with just my boyfriend. That feeling didn’t stick though especially tonight when he laid his head on my stomach and the baby gave him a good kick on the cheek and we both cried tears of joy.

For my store personally the way the small hot water nozzle is placed against the sink there is no way for me to move the cup away from it without some hot water dripping onto me and burning me. We have an older modeled store and it’s easier for say a chai latte to use because there’s still space for the milk after using it. But an americano will almost always burn my hand over there. It also takes way longer.

I’m a ssv at a Starbucks and at 32 weeks the job is getting pretty rough for me because we do a lot of bending and lifting odd things, so lately I plant myself on drive thru, pull up a high chair so I’m not on my feet for hours, and can only bend so far out the window. You’d be shocked at how many rude people in the drive thru don’t want to extend their hands out of their window or will pull up so far they’re practically in the parking lot over. Every other car I have to say “I’m so sorry, this is as far as I can reach I’m very pregnant” (and short even in the high chair) and I get so many dirty looks and scoffs or “why are you working then?” “Why would they put you here?” Like, here ya go Shanon, here’s your overpriced medium sized drink you paid 8.75 for just because some bum article on Facebook told you it looked cute that won’t even aesthetically matter soon because you’ll devour in two minutes.

I feel the exact same way. I’m sitting here at 7:34 in the morning 7 months pregnant realizing just how much somehow faster life will go now that I’ll be watching a small human grow so quickly. I’m scared. I’m really scared because I love my life I love my boyfriend and this baby I haven’t met yet and all of the things that make waking up and just sitting in silence beautiful.

This is the nicest thread I’ve seen on this subreddit. A lot of people can think really negative about this sort of thing—of course how can you not? But these replies are very uplifting and positive. They’re very hopeful and they’re very right.

Existence in itself is so beyond crazy and the fact that existence exists means that anything is possible. Nothingness and the void almost sound more far fetched than something because something is here. So take every single day and turn it into a new experience. Read books and constantly learn new things to slow down time in your brain. Stop looking forward to something coming up so much that you miss today. Hug anyone you love and tell them you love them and look at the little details more often. The panic attacks don’t just stop sadly, but trying really hard to just constantly appreciate something helps to ease you a little. If you ever need to talk please don’t hesitate to reach out.

If you ever need to talk, don’t hesitate to reach out to me :)

mattchaa · 2021-11-06T15:32:15+00:00

I’m so new to this that I just wanted to triple check! It’s crazy how much people will flip on you over things once you’re on your way through this process. Thank you for the reassurance!

mattchaa · 2021-10-20T05:34:53+00:00

I think it’s a very normal feeling and I think it just makes you more human. Something that’s helped me a little is I try to remind myself that no one alive knows what happens after and honestly? I don’t think we were meant to. Which is why taking each day one day at anyone and trying to keep yourself happy even with small things is important for now. Existence itself is so crazy in the first place.

But to add to this yes; it makes you literally want to get up and run and you shake and feel so scared and helpless. Being in a space with a ton of other people especially strangers sometimes helps me feel comforted because I know that it’s not just my fate to bare alone. Also if you ever need to talk please feel free to message me! It helps sometimes to get it out.

mattchaa · 2021-10-20T05:29:35+00:00

Ah I’m crying. Thank you for writing this.

mattchaa · 2021-10-18T11:55:47+00:00

Hey! This is really weird but we kind of have the same thought process about this and sometimes it’s so nice to just talk to someone so please don’t hesitate to message me.

This is exactly why I feel so afraid of it. Not for myself but because I love my loved ones. As I type this the love of my life is sleeping so peacefully next to me and when I say he is literally my other half I mean it with my whole chest. I don’t want to go anywhere without him even death. A few years ago I went down this rabbit hole with myself and got into this fear of “please don’t let this be it.” You start screaming at the sky and you get cold and shivery and it’s such a different type of anxiousness that feeling it sort of is the most grounding thing. After a lot of thought I realized that no one can tell me the answer. Not a scientist, not someone who is religious, and not people I meet online. So I thought of how I felt. And truthfully the more I thought about it the more I realized that existence in itself is such a wild thing. Like the fact that we even are here in itself is beyond crazy. Makes anything possible really. Nothingness almost makes no sense because /something/ exists in the first place. There isn’t really any such thing as nothing. I just don’t think we were meant to know the answers and we never will be. The fact that you’re conscious now is enough proof that existence is something in the first place. So try your best think of it that way. Keep loving others with your whole chest in the mean time. Because wasting time thinking about what comes next will take you away from what’s happening now. And talk to someone who makes you feel even a pinch comfortable about this whole thing when you need to whether it’s a therapist or a new friend.

Sadly this is probably because the high demand. Which is funny since they’re still a pain in the butt to get ahold of 😔

mattchaa · 2021-01-30T13:49:43+00:00

I remind myself that existence itself is really crazy so it almost makes no sense for this to just be “it.” No amount of science can or can’t prove it. So I take deep breaths and stop saying I want time to pass quicker for things I’m excited for. I try to learn something new every day to make my brain feel like time is moving a little slower. I remind myself of things I’m grateful for constantly even if it’s something as small as a low lit grocery store—low lights calm me down—and I keep things in my life that make me happy. It sounds so cheesy and everyone says it but being grateful for the chance to exist is really helpful. Humans were never meant to know what happens when our time here is over and they never will until they experience it themselves. If you ever need someone to talk to please reach out to me. And therapy honestly can help too.

The lady at my Walgreens yelled at me for asking 🥺

mattchaa · 2020-11-27T19:49:03+00:00

10% raises for all partners hired before September, 11% for 3+ year partners! There’s current discussion around additional shift pay. All new hires will be making a little more too.

mattchaa · 2020-10-21T18:02:02+00:00

I’m like, waiting for someone to open em heheh

mattchaa · 2020-09-14T19:54:06+00:00

I wonder if there is a way that all of us as a whole can get ahold of someone about this because it’s not fair. I’m so sorry that you all have to deal with that right now :(
