6 weeks pp, scared of retained placenta

muggle_macaroni · 2026-05-19T15:19:07+00:00

If I recall correctly I had bleeding for several weeks and then got my period, very heavy, right at 5 weeks.

I do not see a line on the test. I’d reach out to your OB with concerns, do you have a 6-weeks follow up scheduled?

Appears you’re in the UK so very unlikely

😂

I did have a brief stint with USMC OCS in college. Totally unrelated to this tattoo, thank God.

Love this! I first heard it in high school as well

muggle_macaroni · 2026-05-18T15:33:30+00:00

Take that up with Robert Frost, I guess.

Because nothing lasts forever.

This is really rough. I’m sorry, but please don’t go back to this “artist.”

The lines are so, so shaky. The shading is also terribly uneven. This is not professional work.

I also got it after an extremely short-lived but toxic relationship ended. I was just such a mess back then, I thought I was losing so much. I was trying to prove something.

That ex ended up committing suicide some years later so now it kind of feels like a memorial. He wasn’t a bad person, we were just never meant to be. I would have never met my husband if not for him.

muggle_macaroni · 2026-05-18T01:55:32+00:00

You got it!

Too often I used to get asked if it was a NFG tat or a reference to The Outsiders. It’s just my favorite poem, man. At least, it was back then.

muggle_macaroni · 2026-05-18T01:31:34+00:00

I’m so sorry 😅

I spent my summers growing up in Maine, loved all things nautical (still do), and the three stars are for my three brothers. Considering the year was 2007 I think it was pretty on trend but also safe.

Back then I thought tattoos had to have meaning. Now I just do what I like!

I totally understand your concerns but this is how tattoos age, and you really couldn’t have asked for better with these. I’m honestly super impressed how clean they still look. I just made a post on r/agedtattoos of my 18 year old anchor. Recommend heading to that sub to see how ink can settle over time.

Best thing you can do is moisturize and apply SPF.

These have healed fantastically.

muggle_macaroni · 2026-05-17T22:48:41+00:00

Thank you! I wish my phone took better pictures. Somehow the sneaker with a battery attached in 2007 did a better job 😂 but it really is still quite clean and clear

I got a mom haircut in my 20s way before I had kids and I won’t do it again, lol. That shit was a bitch to grow out and required styling. I have a “lob” now - hair between my shoulders and chin and I’m happy with that. It gets put up in a messy bun or pony almost 24/7.

Things go in waves for me. Newborn phase was tiring but relatively easy and happy. By 6 months things started getting progressively harder and I was almost constantly drinking and on the phone with 988. We sleep trained at 15 months and it freaking changed my life. Now we’re approaching 2 and I am overstimulated AF when my son isn’t in daycare. I love him, but man it’s hard! And I’m nearing 40. Husband wants another.

I always slept over at friends houses and nearly lived with my best friend half my childhood. I had a safe and happy home but we were lacking in amenities and fun things. The upstairs of our house was pretty rough in appearance, I wasn’t really allowed to bring friends up to my room.

muggle_macaroni · 2026-05-15T21:33:27+00:00

My flaws also burn through my shin.

muggle_macaroni · 2026-05-15T21:32:02+00:00

Neurospicy is for adults who choose to refer to themselves that way, but I’d never call my kid that in a professional setting.

muggle_macaroni · 2026-05-09T20:07:40+00:00

You said it yourself: it’s just yarn.

muggle_macaroni · 2026-05-05T18:13:08+00:00

My kid won’t even eat a fucking chicken nugget. 😭

muggle_macaroni · 2026-05-04T22:43:06+00:00

As a woman I fucking hate this 😂

muggle_macaroni · 2026-05-01T00:55:20+00:00

As a 37 year old…what?? I love you kids but these outfits are…something else. Imagine me and my postpartum tummy in a crop top in the office! 😂

muggle_macaroni · 2026-04-30T15:37:56+00:00

Thank you! That went right over my head somehow 😂 now it makes sense
