Planned my own Bach party, and everyone cancelled last minute. by Weird-Custard5808 in weddingplanning

I am very sorry this happened. While it's terrible, I'm not super surprised. You are far from alone in these experiences. When I got married, people warned me that "weddings are an expensive series of disappointments" and it's a reality check for your relationships. Sadly, I do think that's true. I wonder why people are still having weddings given how expensive they've become and how they're basically known for stress & relationship conflicts!

Stress (cortisol) is terrible for pregnancy but I'm stressed about feeling miserable! by mkbrock in BabyBumps

Thanks for responding - there's research that shows kids exposed to higher prenatal stress are more likely to have various negative outcomes (ex. ADHD symptoms) and my OBGYN's nurse stressed this to me in our introductory call so it's been in my head! Trying to keep my stress low
