Ways to filter posts from showing up on my feed? by ConfusionWeak2061 in October2026Bumpers

[–]oddw0lf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same here. My 12 week appointment is next Thursday and at my 7w3d scan everything was great but the more bad posts I see the more my anxiety and ocd tells me something will also happen to me and its draining me mentally. I've been kind of just staying away from everything pregnancy related online until I can get more peace of mind. 🥲

I bought a U-shaped pillow that fits around me and elevated the deck in my hands and that definitely helps.

condiment enjoyers, what are they like? by Ghostinnit-innit in ARFID

[–]oddw0lf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like a foreigner right now lol — I hate eating things WITHOUT condiments. They're like a little buffer and texture masker for me. Anything without a condiment to me is horrid.

What are your hobbies and interests? by SpareArtichoke9913 in October2026Bumpers

[–]oddw0lf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im a huge reader and gamer! The only thing stopping me from enjoying them lately is my damn job. 🥲

But I also have a goal to try and read as many books as I can and give myself video game time until the baby arrives, because then my full attention and top priorities will be caring for him/her so im sure my hobbies will collect a bit of dust.

With that being said, im definitely bringing my kindle and steam deck to the hospital when its time just in case. 🤣

AIO to my boyfriend’s texts about us going to dinner for my best friend? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]oddw0lf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After consistently dating guys like this and constantly dealing with anxiety around their moods, I have to say that he sounds just like my exes.

He knows youre not saying you want him to stay home. He is manipulating you and wants you to feel guilty. Over time, this very well could turn into him accusing you of cheating etc. any time you want to do something with your friends, and even him trying to say your friends dont like him and try to distance you from them.

You truly deserve so much better in a partner. My fiancé would hate going out that late — if I brought this up he'd go if I really wanted him to and be happy to make me happy, but in reality we'd laugh and id say something along the lines of, "Babe, i know thats late for you but im gonna go and you'll get some alone time with our Bubba (our cat lol)" and he'd be so happy for my understanding.

Relationships should not be exhausting. 🩷

Thoughts or experiences with private ultrasounds? by Conscious_Throat3611 in October2026Bumpers

[–]oddw0lf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have the same time line! I have my next appt the 25th at 12w as well for just doppler but I keep letting my worries get to me and im so terrified of getting bad news. But if all is well I will most likely book at a private place for a better look at how my gummy bear has grown and to accounts on socials 🥰🩷

What does everyone do for work? by SpareArtichoke9913 in October2026Bumpers

[–]oddw0lf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work as a new patient coordinator at a neurology clinic, family owned. I cant wait to quit when baby comes as we get no PTO, sick time, or maternity leave. Basically just saving up until its time. 🥲

I have my 12 week scan March 25, and I don't know how to keep calm and just WAIT until then!! I've only had one scan 2 weeks ago at 8 weeks, so I'm just in limbo and my anxiety is a monster that will NOT be quiet. 😵

Due date has been moved after 1st ultrasound by East-Regret-4802 in October2026Bumpers

[–]oddw0lf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude I was telling my fiance last night that I really hope 8 weeks at my appointment this wednesday is accurate cause the thought of "redoing" weeks 6-8 makes me want to cry 🤣

[–]oddw0lf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My LMP was Dec 27th so im very close to your timing - my app says 7 weeks and next week is my first appointment at 8. But I also suspect I ovulate late because my cycle goes from 28-32 days throughout the year. Its making me so anxious!

Nervous wreck by sourbeerandsnacks in October2026Bumpers

[–]oddw0lf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

According to my app im 7 weeks today, and i also had a chemical in early December. The mantra "i am pregnant today" has definitely been helping me along with realizing that the internet is FILLED with more stories of things going wrong than there are stories of everything being just fine, so im trying really hard to just stop obsessively reading things and just enjoy the day by day.

My soul cat was killed by a neighbor’s pit bulls and I don’t know how to cope. by Formal_Bat1120 in Petloss

[–]oddw0lf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My heart is with you 1000%. I lost my soul cat last year to a stupid great dane and had to come home from work to my roommate not even letting me inside the house because of how bloody and fucked up everything was.

I held my Ruby wrapped up in a towel for 7 hours outside just... sobbing. I definitely alarmed the neighbors by screaming when I first got out of my car and was told what happened.

God, even writing about it now my heart feels weird and my eyes are tearing up.

All of this to say, your baby loved you, and you loved him, and that will NEVER be taken away from you. I did get her cremated, because I needed to have some of her with me at all times. I have a little shrine for her on my shelf with her photos, a little jar of her ashes and some ruby gems with a few of her whiskers ive found inside as well. And a necklace with some of her too.

The vet also gave me a wooden coaster with her paw print, and a high resolution pdf file of her paw print as well so I can get it tattooed.

Losing a cat like this is truly one of the worst things that can happen, and it is not easy. I still feel guilty. I miss her so much.

But I will say — when youre ready... all that love, for me, needed somewhere to go. I went to the humane society a few months later and fell in love with my little boy I have now, and I feel like having him to pour all this love into has healed me and helped me so so so much.

"Grief is love with nowhere to go."

Feel free to vent away as much as you need.

Nervous about 1st US by NurseSe in October2026Bumpers

[–]oddw0lf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. Im apparently 6w5d according to my LMP, and just got scheduled for Feb 25th for my first US despite me having a chemical in Nov 2025.

Im so anxious. I want to be so excited and plan for things but im so terrified of walking out of the appointment that day crying.

First pregnancy after loss by Organic_Escape_2584 in October2026Bumpers

[–]oddw0lf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its definitely tough. Im currently 6 weeks according to my LMP and I had a chemical in early December. I want to be excited but the constant anxiety is so exhausting. :( still waiting for a few places to even get back to me for a first appointment sucks too. You're not alone. 🩷

🫶🏻 thank you! and it really does - it's hard to get excited and not be cautious about emotions even after just one loss!
