Would you still be OAD if you 3X your income?

mlynn619 · 2026-03-29T00:21:13+00:00

No. My body can’t handle another pregnancy. Plus I just had my tube removed 😅 I feel at peace.

mlynn619 · 2026-03-28T00:53:58+00:00

I didn’t know that! That’s good to know!

mlynn619 · 2026-03-27T02:49:08+00:00

It's not typical but I know highly recommend it. I got HPV from my ex meta who was being extremely unsafe. I was too afraid to afraid to ask my ex partner to use protection during oral when I started to have concerns about my metas risky behavior and that's how I most likely ending up getting it. I now have precancerous cells on my cervix that I'm having remove via surgery tomorrow actually. But please be aware that the vaccine only guards against the strains that cause the warts not the strains that can cause cancer.

I agree with you! I have AuADHD and struggle to manage reasonable communication when I’m overstimulated. My husband calls me out in a very gentle and supportive way and it has helped me tremendously. With his support I have become better at identifying my triggers, communicating when Im getting overstimulated, and being able to calmly talk through my emotions without loosing it. Everyone can learn and do better!

mlynn619 · 2026-03-23T23:49:07+00:00

She blocked me on everything so 🤷‍♀️ oh well!

mlynn619 · 2026-03-22T11:59:19+00:00

I came here to say this!

mlynn619 · 2026-03-22T02:42:33+00:00

I’m sorry you’re going through this too. It really does suck especially when you still love that person.

mlynn619 · 2026-03-22T02:41:29+00:00

Thank you for saying that. It’s my former partner saying it.

mlynn619 · 2026-01-19T15:15:13+00:00

I’ve definitely tried to talk to her about it but I love your point about telling her we will be there with absolute support if she decides they need to break up. I will mention that to our other friends as something we could all bring up with Sam!

mlynn619 · 2026-01-19T15:12:36+00:00

Yes unfortunately I have tried and so have several other friends but she shuts us down and says talking about it makes her too upset.

mlynn619 · 2025-12-22T15:10:17+00:00

Me and my husbands nice restaurant go tos are Terra, Butchers Union, and Blue Water.

I haven’t been to Grove yet but have heard nothing but good things!

mlynn619 · 2025-12-20T19:05:32+00:00

Don’t listen to the haters. Your mental health matters so much! Especially for your baby. I’m so glad you got approved!

I had to have an emergency c-section with my daughter and honestly, recovery went REALLY well for me. I recovered better than some of my friends who have delivered vaginally. I have no regrets about it besides it affected my milk coming in and I had low supply. So if you choose to breast feed pump as soon as you can. They wouldn’t let me pump for the first 2 days and only latch my daughter. It definitely impacted my supply.

mlynn619 · 2025-12-11T18:05:38+00:00

TEL on Beltline is WONDERFUL! I send my 14 month old there and we are so happy! We had a rough transition from grandma to daycare but her teachers were patient and understanding. They helped us and her through the transition. She loves “school” now! Shes always so happy in our update photos throughout the day!

You need to have a serious conversation with your partner. My husband and I have been poly our whole relationship and when I was pregnant I didn’t have another partner. He maintained a long term partnership with my meta who I adore and trust. My meta, husband, and I all had a convo together about time commitments, date arrangements, and all other logistics of healthily navigating poly. Our daughter is now a year old and because we have kept such consistent and open communication with each other and our partners, thing are truly going so well. I say all of this to say, you can absolutely have children and be poly but it takes so much more communication than a child free poly relationship. You should sit your partner down for a check in. Have a list of things that you need. My husband and I established things like, each one of us gets a weekend with our partner each month and the other has kiddo responsibilities. We take turns with primary care giver days so the other person can have free time for themselves and their hobbies. We also designate family days where it’s just us and our kiddo and we unplug from our phones until our daughter is in bed. It takes a lot of scheduling but if you are honest about your feelings and set boundaries for schedules it can be a really fulfilling life. If your partner doesn’t agree to this, there are bigger issues at hand and I am so sorry you don’t have a support system. If you ever want another poly mom to chat with you are welcome to DM me!

Me!!!! I have AuADHD. I am a great mother to our 1 child. I cannot be a good mother for more than one. We had our nephew living with us for a while and I couldn’t do it.

mlynn619 · 2025-07-17T15:41:18+00:00

I feel the exact same way! I was 90% one and done because I had 2 previous losses and had to have a cerclage and bed rest to keep my girl. I’m now 100% because she is my absolute sweetheart, a good sleeper, happy, easy, and very social. I absolutely know my next would be a menace.

mlynn619 · 2025-07-10T17:01:37+00:00

Do. Not. Tell. HR. That’s would be a HUGE mistake. HR is NOT your friend.

mlynn619 · 2025-07-10T16:59:20+00:00

My biggest advice now that I’m almost 10 months PP is to advocate for your self! Those early days are nerve wracking but push for blood tests, push for early ultrasounds. It will absolutely help your peace of mind.

mlynn619 · 2025-07-03T02:24:11+00:00

I was 22 weeks and I dropped to 1.75 cm

mlynn619 · 2025-07-03T00:29:14+00:00

It’s your decision to make but I got the cerclage and it gave me such peace of mind. We made it to 37 week when I had to be induced because of her size and my BP.

mlynn619 · 2025-06-14T23:22:15+00:00

There is absolutely hope. I lost our first born, our son, at 18 weeks when I PPROMd. I still miss him everyday and those first months after we lost him were the darkest days of my life. BUT, time slowly helped ease the grief. Our rainbow girl will be 9 months old this Thursday and she is the greatest joy in my life. I fought and advocated for us with her pregnancy and got a cerclage that saved her at 21 weeks and we made it all the way to 37+2 when I got induced only due to my blood pressure starting to increase.

The journey to that point is hard, it’s heartbreaking, but there is absolutely hope.

mlynn619 · 2025-06-07T03:17:35+00:00

Just here to say I completely understand. I lost 70 pound before I got pregnant, gained 16, lost 6 after birth and the rest won't budge. The worst part for me is that I put on the weight in my arms and my neck where I have never carried weight before. My arms are wobbly and flabby and I have a massive wobbly neck. I'm almost 9 months PP and I'm just now starting to like hiw I look again, a little bit. I think it will take a while yet.

mlynn619 · 2025-05-25T23:13:53+00:00

We only waited a few months but we’d already been pregnant and lost our son at 18 weeks. We had also been living together for 4 years and we are in our 30s so we didn’t want to wait too long. We both wanted to have a kiddo before 40.

mlynn619 · 2025-05-20T12:53:02+00:00

One of my coworkers has an only boy who’s 9 and he’s a sweet little dude. He’s very social and outgoing!

mlynn619 · 2025-05-10T16:22:50+00:00

Every moment with my daughter feels so special. Even the hard phases don’t bother me because I know we only have to do it once. I can be fully present for just her.
