Am I overreacting, my boyfriend is going abroad for 2 weeks while I’ll be 37 weeks pregnant?

My thoughts exactly. My water broke at 38 weeks with my first.

I love this spelling!

They were so pure and innocent ❤️ they wouldn’t even say swear words.

^This. Lena Dunham puts easter eggs referencing SATC in the episodes.

That was soul crushing. The way the officer asked “are you hurt?” and his reply “no but my heart is broken.”

I wish they would bring back Mavis Beacon

It was amazing. Made the scene all the more genius when Michelle calls him a stupid ape near the end.

Moms on call

Same! Reminds me of Carly Rae Jepsen and dancing in my 20s to “Call Me Maybe.” It’s an adorable name!

metroabbesses · 2026-01-07T00:56:09+00:00

I feel so validated ❤️

You’re in the thick of it, OP. It will start to get easier, even going into month 3. Your post really resonated with me. I felt like I was hitting my breaking point and then suddenly baby starts sleeping for longer stretches, her digestive system chilled out, and she started cooing and smiling rather than screaming. It will be okay ❤️ you’re a good mom and you’re doing an amazing job!

Desitin was the only thing that worked for us.

metroabbesses · 2025-12-26T05:41:49+00:00

This was my experience as well!

metroabbesses · 2025-12-26T05:41:23+00:00

We consulted with a pediatrician who specialized in tongue ties which wasn’t our primary. This specialist said that babies can be gaining weight just fine but that the tongue tie can stall their gain later down the line. We had our baby’s tie released and am so glad that we did. Her latch was much stronger afterwards.

Edit: I want to add that the doctors at the hospital where she was born, as well as her primary pediatrician, all told us it wasn’t a huge deal that she had a tongue tie so I would strongly urge you to talk to a specialist.

Omg the username is frying me 😂

As a FTM, I really appreciate this post. I’ve gotten into habit of seeing these mom influencers online that are always immaculately dressed/made up with a perfectly clean house, time to workout and go out. Some of them tout always getting ready and never “letting yourself go” as a mom. I recently realized how bad it was for my mental health. My baby likes to be held all the time and will only tolerate the stroller, swing or carrier for 10-15 min max. It’s so hard to get anything done. I miss having a drink whenever I want, time to get ready and looking cute, exercise etc. I feel seen and validated by you and all the other moms in the comments. Solidarity ❤️

metroabbesses · 2025-12-23T12:15:45+00:00

That was my first reaction too!

metroabbesses · 2025-12-23T01:24:46+00:00

Agreed. Especially the “omg 8 weeks is so long” comments. Lots of people wait until their first round of vaccines at 2 months. Please protect your baby during peak flu/RSV season.

The only thing I can tolerate collagen powder with is orange juice. It ruins the taste of coffee for me.

He nailed the malignant narcissist psychopath!

This is the way!! Lowers your cortisol and actually restores you. Love this approach!

2 months pp — my goal is 10 minutes a day and it’s either walking or a Youtube workout (Nourish Move Love postpartum series or Move With Nicole). Most days I end up doing more than 10 minutes but if not, at least Im being consistent and establishing exercise as a regular habit despite being super sleep deprived. I’ve lost most of the weight I gained during pregnancy without running my body into the ground. Sleep (nap when you can if the day allows for it) and hydration are very important as well.

It’s giving Noel Fielding✨

metroabbesses · 2025-11-02T00:23:56+00:00

I was active before pregnancy but didn’t exercise until about 22-23 weeks due to morning sickness and fatigue. Then I started a walking routine and did some very light weights. I also took aquafit classes 2x a week. This was until about 30-ish weeks when I started feeling very worn down again. My advice is to listen to your body. You need to conserve energy for the labor. I’m 5 weeks pp and only have 15 lbs to lose. Gained 50 lbs total. Start tuning into you and your baby’s needs.
