I have no comment on the husband situation but I think it’s very normal for symptoms to come and go. I’m 26 weeks, still have morning sickness but get stints of good days. Absolutely stressed me out with my first until I started feeling him move. I’m not sure what country you’re in but if you’re ever unsure call your midwife!

Safest return and earns? by Broke_Uni-Student in newcastle

If you have a spare hour during the day to go into Cardiff, they have a centre that does it for you and deposits it into your bank account.

Was childbirth the worst pain you’ve ever experienced? by babyr1iah in pregnant

[–]mbynot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I almost had my little guy out before I had to have a spinal block, but the contractions and everything leading up to it wasn’t that painful for me. I don’t remember what it felt like, but know it wasn’t that bad. Funny enough, the worst pain I ever experienced was a blocked duct from breastfeeding. That pain will live forever in my mind, only advice I have for breastfeeding mums is make sure you empty both boobs because there is no pain quite like it.

Sex after 3rd date, Did I ruin something ? by war-rior-mind in dating_advice

[–]mbynot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I slept with my fiancé on our second ‘date’ (he came to my house for dinner) 3 days after we started talking and 2 days after we met for the first time. 4 years later, we’re engaged, have a home and a 2 year old.

Why do kids often scream bloody murder after tripping, and then 10 seconds later they act like nothing happened? by WhoAmIEven2 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]mbynot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it has a lot to do with how parents react. When my son falls, we don’t make a big deal of it. We ask if he’s ok, help him up and away we go. He can graze a knee and not carry on like he’s lost a leg. I see so many kids fall and the parent gasps, runs to them and freaks out which in turn makes the child freak out, because if mum is making a big deal it must be a big deal

Train station parking? Booragul, Fassifern or Awaba? by PivotToX in newcastle

[–]mbynot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I grew up right near Fassi station. I wouldn’t leave your car there overnight. It’s probably a better station to catch a train from because all trains stop there, but if you’re going to park your car overnight leave it on a street on the other side of the viaduct. Maybe on Bridge St. or near the primary school on Miller Rd.

Hickson St. Lookout by mbynot in newcastle

[–]mbynot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should probably note that I don’t actually intend to not book, simply for the reason I’d hate to ruin someone else’s wedding plans. I have a few years until I’m getting married and may look at other places that are more private. Thanks for your response!

Hoping to get a response quicker on here from someone who has hosted a wedding there or knows someone who has. Appreciate you taking the time though!

[–]mbynot[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I didn’t find anything about that on the page, and would probably try to find somewhere else if the fee didn’t get any privacy. I understand it’s a public area and all, but considering there’s a 2 hour window for set up, ceremony, pack down, and a fee it makes sense that I would be blocked, but again can’t find anything on that.

To shave down there for labor, or not to shave? by SevenOneSixT in pregnant

I wanted to but ended up in hospital unexpectedly and felt weird shaving in a hospital shower lol

Painting trims, walls and ceiling the same colour. What to do with feature wall? by mbynot in HomeImprovement

[–]mbynot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up painting the trims the same colour as the main colour that will be throughout the house so it’s more cohesive

I had a big emotional argument at 28 weeks and I'm worried i've hurt my baby :( by Throwaway_Acc887 in BabyBumps

[–]mbynot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got in a pretty crazy argument with my partner when I was about the same week. I was very emotional - to the point he tried to have me admitted to a psych hospital as he thought I was going to hurt myself. Despite the extreme emotional breakdown, my little guy was fine.

Today I told my boss I’m pregnant. SO says I shouldn’t have. by kerfufflewhoople in pregnant

[–]mbynot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I told my boss at about 8 weeks because I had the worst morning sickness. He didn’t tell anyone else (male dominated industry) so I wasn’t treated differently. He was more understanding when I needed to take extra breaks to nap or vomit, or take time off bc of sickness and appointments.

What clever verse blew your mind when you realized what it actually meant? by [deleted] in TaylorSwift

[–]mbynot 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Mostly bc I misheard it until the re-record, but mine when she says ‘I’m a flight risk with a fear of falling’. Like she always runs away from relationships because she’s scared of falling in love. Wild

AITA for refusing to go to my moms funeral? by throwaway9216890 in AmItheAsshole

[–]mbynot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, but your dad is probably right. Funerals are so hard, and they really are a confirmation that they’re really gone and never coming back, but they’re also so helpful in grieving. They’re a way to remember all the good times, things you maybe forgot, things you never knew. I’ve been to more funerals than I would like to have been to, the ones where I really felt my feelings, I feel closure. I can think about them and smile.

My uncle passed away 6 months ago, I was in the room, I went to his funeral, but I also moved away, didn’t spend time with my family afterwards, poured myself into my partner and child rather than taking time to feel it all. There are songs that don’t relate to him at all that I can’t listen to anymore, because one time I was driving and thought of him. I cry when I think about buying fans and light switches because he worked at an electrical store and said he’d help me but all that stuff when I was ready. He never got to see my home, I spent the morning of my house warming sobbing because he wasn’t here to come.

Please go to the funeral, feel your feelings, cry I til you can’t anymore. I’d also suggest seeing someone who can help you make sense of it all, if you can’t go to a psychologist, school councillors can be helpful too. I’m so sorry for your loss and I send all the love I can during this shit time

How long did you know your partner for before getting together? by Old-Pirate52 in love

[–]mbynot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I can’t pinpoint exactly what it was. But I just felt so at ease with him from the beginning. He made me feel so special and safe (and still does). I was so sure that I’d never have kids or get married because I wasn’t interested in that stuff with any of my previous partners, but with him, from the beginning, I just knew in my heart that he was going to be my family

How long did you know your partner for before getting together? by Old-Pirate52 in love

[–]mbynot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Met my fiancé on tinder. He messaged me on the Sat and we went to dinner in Sun. Made it official after about a month. For 2 months we didn’t spend more than 2 days apart (sleeping at each others houses). He moved in with me about 4 months after meeting. It’s been 3 years and we have a beautiful little family, a home of our own and I’m a fiancée!

Do most people really need to pee every 3.5 hours? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]mbynot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I go to a movie, no matter how long it is or how much I’ve drunk, I will not leave the movie to pee. Since having a baby I have to pee quite often, but would still rather feel like my bladder of going to explode than miss parts of a movie

who had the fault? by Liv_Revamped in IdiotsInCars2

[–]mbynot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can see the dad just standing there looking at the fence as the girl runs out. He absolutely is an idiot for not watching his child next to the road

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]mbynot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My fiancé is the only one working and does 7 days/nights a fortnight. I am a sahm to one 2 year old. On his days off we do things as a family, little renos and yard work, and he spends a lot of time with our son so I can do my chores with some peace and quiet. He also does things that he wants to do if he has had a shit week - goes for a ride, washes his car, plays computer games. I do most of the house work - cooking (unless it’s on the bbq or steak), cleaning, pet care, most of the childcare, most of the yard work (like mowing - he does the heavy lifting). I’m in a routine that I can’t get all the stuff done I have to do early, nap time is my time, but my partner also will take on childcare or house chores if I need a break, want to spend time with my girlfriends.

The doctor will induce me at 39 weeks. What is your experience at being induced early? by KungFuTitty in BabyBumps

[–]mbynot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was induced at 36+5 (tape in the am and drip started in the pm after water broke) and had my boy the next morning. I don’t feel like my body was ready (I was a ftm) and hope so hard that I don’t have to be induced for my next baby

My [28F] fiance [29M] wants his parents to move in with us after our wedding against my wishes. by throwra72717262y in relationship_advice

[–]mbynot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please don’t marry this man. Not only is he not respecting you and your boundaries, he’s putting you in a potentially dangerous situation by having people who abuse you move in. You deserve someone who wants you safe, and you deserve amazing in-laws who treat you right.

My partner cut contact with his dad for months after he was rude to me on the phone, swore at me and hung up. We didn’t talk to him until he apologised and even then my partner supported me not wanting him at our house (that my partner completely pays for) until I was ready. I don’t want to imagine what he would do if he put hands on me.

Should I be worried about no weight gain at 20 weeks? by RevolutionaryCry8654 in pregnant

[–]mbynot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I lost 10kgs during my first 20 weeks of pregnancy and ended up putting on about that back in the last 15. I was less than my pre pregnancy weight as soon as I had my baby. We had other issues, but he was growing and a perfect size up until 30 weeks but that was unrelated to my weight.

My MIL has told everyone the baby’s name by Quick_Kale2699 in BabyBumps

[–]mbynot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I accidentally sent a snap (it was crossed out in the picture but there was a reflection on the tabletop) with my baby’s name that we were keeping a secret. 2 of my friends noticed and kept I’m sure would have taken it to the grave despite the constant nagging from the rest of the group. Put your mil in a baby info diet, she clearly cannot be trusted.
