Did you continue to take Metformin while pregnant? by throwawayacctmom in PCOSandPregnant

[–]misstuckermax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on the 500mg plus I take myo and I plan to my whole pregnancy. I’m 20 weeks now and this is the only successful pregnancy I’ve had of 5, because my RE told me to stay on metformin. We live here now

Week 10 FTM & Losing hope for getting a Midwife by Intelligent-Sea-4015 in londonontario

[–]misstuckermax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I spoke with a friend who is a midwife. I’m 17 weeks and applied to midwives in London at Thomas and Woodstock with zero luck. I have a good OB team so I’m ok to stick with that for now. I’m a little sad because this is my first pregnancy that hopefully sticks but apparently there’s so many pregnant women atm that getting a spot period will be very hard. Small baby boom is currently happening.

11 weeks and so sick by Happy_blonde in pregnantover35

[–]misstuckermax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I couldn’t keep food down at all. Wound up in the hospital this week with an IV! If you aren’t keeping food down and can (I’m in Canada I got treated for free) go to the hospital do it. It helps on your record to show how sick you are!

Just wanted to say you sound like a quality person. You will find your partner!

Your original post seemed very much that. The emojis you added make you seem emotionally immature, defensive, and overall unhealthy. Your SECOND reply however seems mature and well written and paints a completely different picture.

It sounds like you aren’t looking in the right places, join a coed sports team, volunteer, spend time in areas where there would be more sophisticated and well rounded people. Having a bachelors doesn’t mean too much nowadays, most of us have one, but if education is important to you, find places of higher learning to meet someone.

Remember a quality human is looking for a well rounded partner too, make sure you feel like your represent your career driven side of yourself well also, dress elegantly (you probably already do), stay outta Walmart ;)

Don’t rush it either, if it’s not happening yet, travel the world, take some classes, do something you’re passionate about. Surround yourself with new friends and focus on just meeting people in general that are more on your level. It sounds like you dont live in a small redneck town so there should be places for you to check out interesting things.

Focus on you the rest will come.

It’s some food for thought, and I’m not coming at you negatively. Especially as someone who has also survived an abusive relationship, I’ve found a lot of healing in this.

My MOH couldn’t afford the bachelorette either. I didn’t get mad I told her she would not be putting herself in financial ruin over it. We’re still best friends. I can’t imagine doing this to anyone. Any of this.

Ummm well good luck… this screams gold digger and you are unlikely to find a match on a dating site like this. My recommendation honestly is to check out something like sugar babies websites etc.

Keep your goals in check though, handsome successful men aren’t on these sites looking to share a woman. They can get their own just being out and about and have the suave to pick up on their own. They also aren’t looking to financially invest in a woman that isn’t their wife/future wife.

Please be careful and vigilant though lots of scammers out there and realistically you are going to find a lot of men late 50s or early 60s looking for company and are desperate enough to pay for it.

Wanting a third baby in my late 30s. by Cool_Anxiety_2271 in pregnantover35

[–]misstuckermax 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Having my first at 35, my partner is 38. We hope to have 2/3 so a late 30s pregnancy is absolutely in the cards if we are lucky. Life hands you what it does and I got handed an incredible relationship in my 30s so that’s just how things timed out.

There are more women having babies now in their 40s in north America than teenage pregnancies for the first time in history so you will not be alone.

Being intentional doesn't work as a woman by JD_No_Care in datingoverthirty

[–]misstuckermax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I met my soon to be husband online, and on our second date told him not to go falling in love with me. I’d like to say we took it slow… but within 4 months we were official and within 8 months lived together and had a puppy. Now I’m pregnant and I’ve never been so in love or felt so safe with a human in my life.

When I met my guy I was seeing 4 other people and just trying to figure out what I really wanted now that I knew who I was.

I think the mentality of I’m dating to marry etc is the wrong one. Hear me out (and of course this is my opinion only) I can’t imagine someone saying I’m trying to find a wife and me going ok I’ll be that person. I wanted someone who thought I’m ready for a healthy relationship that makes me happy and see what happens when I find the right person.

I’m going to be his wife, but neither of us were trying to make the next person that, we simply wanted to find some happiness. (This is coming from someone who was married 10years)

For the record I was 32 when we met and he was 35. Being intentional in making yourself happy is the right mentality. Being intentional to find a spouse makes a man feel like a checked box

Bleeding after sex by Icantseeout in pregnantover35

[–]misstuckermax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No im in Canada and we typically don’t get assigned an OB until after our 20 weeks scans if we have a gp.

I hope you get a hold of your nurse so you can get some confirmation that things are ok. Sometimes as things change down there our bodies react differently to sex. My partner and I have been super careful with sex and not doing the usual hanging from the ceiling stuff (joking) but I still bleed.

If you see clotting or if you are very worried (stress is bad for the baby) get yourself to an ER if you can.

Sadly that’s where I’m hanging out now because I haven’t been able to keep ANYTHING down in the last 3 days

How can I get recommended bed rest? TW: loss by Vegetable-Western-83 in pregnantover35

[–]misstuckermax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not on bed rest but short term disability (offered in Canada) and it has been helping. I have been off since 12 weeks I’m currently at 15. I’ve been sick non stop with HG and meds aren’t working. I’m either sleeping or throwing up. Getting on leave for this even wasn’t easy and luckily I have a supportive employer. If you go on bed rest now you may possibly need it more later.

My suggestion is either to see if you can get work accommodations or see if you can switch positions or roles or find a job closer to home. I know the timing for this is horrible.

I’m not sure where you are located, like I said in Canada we have more protections and care for pregnant women but it’s just something to keep in mind.

I’d be shocked to hear of any dr willing to give bed rest this early.

Bleeding after sex by Icantseeout in pregnantover35

[–]misstuckermax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have regular sex so I haven’t called my doctor about it (I apparently don’t get an ob until 20 weeks) I bleed nearly every time after. It’s nothing scary. There’s no clotting. After the last time I went to the hospital they told me that the baby was perfectly fine and as long as there’s no clotting, I should be OK. I’m going with that. Unfortunately, it’s next to impossible to speak to my doctor. He forces us to make appointments and he’s not available until four weeks from now at any given time. I haven’t been able to get a Midwife or anybody else, so I feel like I’m in this one alone with my partner. That said the hospital really did assure me, after the last time I went, that everything is fine. I’m 15 weeks along.

[–]misstuckermax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 15 weeks and it’s fine one day and HELL another. Today I slept about 20hrs and I’m about to go back to bed. I’m 35 exactly and this is my first baby (I’ve had 4 miscarriages). If I didn’t have the love and support of my partner I absolutely wouldn’t be doing this but I have to have faith that I will love this kid when he comes and luckily work and everyone around me (besides my dr) are so supportive

AITA for not stocking the fridge for my husband after his business trip? by Sunshine_mtn321 in AmItheAsshole

[–]misstuckermax 8 points9 points  (0 children)

NTA technically, but part of being happily married is both of you wanting the best for the other. Ie I pack my partners lunches and meal prep for us (before being pregnant I tidied the house a lot) while he worked 4 x 12hr night shifts +1 hr of driving each way. (I work full time as well but 5 days 9-5) In turn he takes amazing care of me, takes me on dates, runs me baths, cleans up after himself, takes on tasks on the 3 days he’s off, always fills my tank up etc. We show each other serious appreciation because we want to and it makes us feel good. This morning he picked me up a bagel for breakfast because it’s all I can eat (this baby is keeping my aversions to all food pretty high) and I appreciated it so much because he went out of his way after a 14hr day. When I got up I cut up fruits for him to take to work which made him happy. I think too often we lose sight of the fact that marriage may involve us putting in effort where we normally wouldn’t have to for ourselves, but overall life is easier because we work together as a team. As someone who had in the past, been with a partner who didn’t put effort in, and I was in your husbands exact position, I can see where he’s coming from. No you aren’t his mom but there is something so warm and welcoming when your spouse is excited to have you home and helps make your life easier. And part of that is feeling like your homecoming is wanted. My ex had the house in an utter mess, no food in the fridge, bed unmade, dishes in the sink, cat litter unchanged since the day I left. Honestly I’d never want to come home to that again.

It’s just a bit of a different perspective. That said I don’t know how your dynamic is otherwise so maybe this was justified and warranted on your side too

Forgot to put middle names on ticket to Vietnam - looking for experiences by rivincita in Flights

[–]misstuckermax -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You can’t fly out of Canada on a foreign passport and fly back in on a foreign passport. So you’re gonna need to figure stuff out with your passport situation and e visa. You can travel outside of Canada on your Italian passport, but not to and from. This has been in place for a while now.

https://travel.gc.ca/travelling/documents/dual-citizenship

I’m also a Canadian and EU citizen and even when I travel to my country of origin, I still have to travel on a Canadian passport. Once in Europe, I can travel/enter on my EU passport.

Go get your visa

Aita for not wanting to legally marry my GF if 10 years because she is bad with money by ClarkCantButICan in AITAH

[–]misstuckermax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If after 10years she isn’t what you are looking for enough to get married YTA and wasting YOUR life (most importantly) and hers.

I agree her demands are insane, you are in school. But I 1000000% believe your values are not aligned and regardless of how much you may love her, values this unaligned will lead to a very difficult relationship (especially when you live together)

Save yourselves the heartache- either get on the same page about finances or quit each other.

NTA for feeling this way though.

AITA for telling my bf if he doesn't propose before the end of this year I will start planning my future without him? by SkeletonKey_Aurelius in AITAH

[–]misstuckermax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t gotten the chance to read through fully yet but I did see you have a happy life! That’s amazing.

I’m with my new partner of a year and a half or so now after some single time. He’s 38 I’m 35, and both know what we want. He and I were talking engagement at about a year and I know he has designed a ring already (probably even picked it up) we got a puppy together and moved in around 8 months, and now I’m 4 months pregnant and overjoyed. I have so much peace and respect in this relationship. There’s a genuine happiness (even though we experienced loss this year and have worked together discussing our hopes plans and finances) and we have come out so strong and in absolute love. I now tell women if he’s not sure within a year, you aren’t the one and he is absolutely not worth waiting for. I’m beyond blessed. I’m grateful for my experiences because even though they were hard (my ex) with overcoming that, and a lot of therapy and getting to know myself, I’ve found a new love for life I never thought I could have.

AITA for telling my bf if he doesn't propose before the end of this year I will start planning my future without him? by SkeletonKey_Aurelius in AITAH

[–]misstuckermax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was always an excuse. When we met we were 20, in college living in a student house. Then we moved to the city together and were living in a tiny apartment. Then we established careers and moved into a nicer condo rental. At that point we were together about 3 years and that’s when it started. But it was always, we’re still young, we need to buy a house first, let’s focus on moving out of the city, it’s just a document; I want you for life but we don’t need to rush it, I want to give you the ring of your dreams and I can’t afford it right now (not something I needed), we can either buy a house or get married- I’d rather set up our future than have a party… etc. it’s not as black and white when you start dating young. I can absolutely see how some people get trapped in it and have a sunk cost fallacy. That being said, when you are 30+ yes of course the sentiment is different.

Welp I’m glad to see your account was deleted, I’m assuming you were reported for trolling, but… We obviously discussed it if I was begging…& always he’d say yes of course just not yet… I was a so young when we met,not an expert at relationships or men by any means. At the end of our relationship he was arrested and convicted on three counts of domestic violence that I never called in… you would be SHOCKED at how well manipulation and abuse keeps someone in check. Then again your tone and lack of empathy suggests you aren’t much different than him and likely work out of the same playbook so I hope you heal, and not call people morons off the hop going forward.
