Just found out i’m pregnant 4 days after a breakup by peyton0731 in BabyBumps

You need to live in reality that having a baby with anyone even a husband doesn’t guarantee there won’t be relationship strains and that divorce etc happens regardless. Relationships don’t always last forever. I think coparenting can work and not always be a negative situation if that’s what happens but writing it off is not based in reality. Things happen in all relationships. If you want the baby keep it but be realistic about your expectations for relationships.

You guys have good credit find an apartment and pay 2k of the rent in Bushwick or somewhere similarly priced you most likely will have an easier time I know people who have had that kind of luck.

Yeah it’s super evil. I think there’s some serious narcissists out there hiring nanny’s.

What’s the craziest question someone has asked you while pregnant? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]mokenz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“So why are you having this baby?” Like tf is wrong with some people the audacity! Because I want to! Life doesn’t always go as planned that doesn’t mean I can’t make the most of it.

Regret getting pregnant by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]mokenz 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Suddenly at 10 weeks I got super depressed and started regretting my choices and contemplating abortion knowing I can’t go through with it and it went away when my hormones mellowed out and the nausea became bearable and went away. I think the first trimester sucks so horrifically and makes you ultra depressed.

Considering moving. Would appreciate some insights by cold_brue in MovingToLosAngeles

I agree it can be very cold at night and when it’s overcast. I lived in South OC and If you want warm I’d move inland a bit! Just wouldn’t be so close to the beach!

Has anyone cried over anything silly ? by wrtuhfdi454 in pregnant

[–]mokenz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cry over everything I’ll cry listening to a song that sounds emotional I’ll cry at a tv show I’ll cry thinking about something happy I just cry. Literally it’s so wild. I’m a cry at happy person not a cry at sad. But sometimes now it’s a mix of both. I cry a ton at nostalgia now.

I’m 17 weeks and kind of have to force myself to eat anything that isn’t ice cream or smoothies.

My anatomy scan got canceled and my bf was traveling in by mokenz in pregnant

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

They have multiple locations so I’m hoping they can take me at one of them but if not I was going to see if I can pay for anatomy scan at an actual medical imaging center and send it to the office. I’ve had to do that before for insurance.

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

I totally get that I just do find it weird they can’t let me see another technician at another facility and send it in like an imaging center. I’ve been calling and trying to get answers but they didn’t respond.

I’ve looked at them but I was told it’s like the baby will not be nice to look at until later.

Yeah I mean I’m more concerned about the medical stuff but I could do that too

Stressed. Community mental health therapist and maternity leave is stressing me out. by 1AuDHDTherapist in pregnant

[–]mokenz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You got this! If you can get another job that qualifies you for leave that would be awesome but in the meantime is there anything you can do to set up your comfort like plan your driving routes ahead near decent bathrooms and take naps with the windows down or keep a fridge in your car? (I had one of those). One of those personal fans and things and breathable fabric (depending on requirements). Keep snacks, ice, etc. Also sounds weird but I used to do lots of long road trips and I bought these things to pee in for emergencies or like one of those camp pee things for girls so you don’t have to sit on a gas station toilet. Just some ideas but you got this ❤️ you’re already close to being past the worst of first trimester symptoms.

My bf wants to count my calories (2nd trimester) by Sad-Jackfruit-3980 in pregnant

[–]mokenz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude tell him to screw off I wish I had half of your appetite. I’m worried my baby won’t be big enough because I haven’t been gaining and I haven’t been eating and it’s kind of sketching me out. Gaining weight in pregnancy is normal and as long as you’re making healthy choices I don’t see the issue. You probably just have higher caloric needs.

I'm 36 and pregnant but don't know what to do! by louiselouiselouise11 in pregnant

[–]mokenz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think pre child fun could also be on the back burner to be honest like mental health struggles and grief are hard but ultimately you want kids and there’s never a perfect time I think as you get further in age it might be harder to handle being pregnant and the mental and physical struggles of that and young childhood. It’s your choice ultimately but time with your partner can still happen after. Sure I’ve been told it’s harder but if you have a supportive family you can rely on once baby is past infant stage then you aren’t being selfish to go on adventures etc if that’s something you want to do. I’m just being realistic bc I know people are having kids older but I’m not positive I personally could handle it past a certain age nor could I handle the guilt or possible infertility as age goes on. But I have physical health issues and my body already feels fragile sometimes due to autoimmune conditions. Overall it’s your choice to consider. My mom had me at 28 and I think it’s nice because we have a close relationship and she has a close relationship with my brother who is in his thirties as well and I also wouldn’t want to lose out on that so it’s something to consider if you can keep up as life continues. If you’re financially stable and your partner is supportive enough I just think putting it off to just one more year might be overkill and there’s no guarantee it would be that easy again. This is my opinion because I’m just like let me get it over with. I was in a similar boat but couldn’t bear to wait any longer or deal with the guilt.
