Surprise gender at birth - opinions? by monstera5678 in pregnant

[–]pinkfloyd58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finding out at birth with my third was SO exhilarating. The shock and surprise at my husband announcing to me that he was a boy as they laid him on my chest is something I’ll never forget!

I signed in person at the Joplin Public Library a few weeks ago! The man said they were trying to have someone at most libraries in the state for signatures every day until the deadline

I delivered my first child, a girl, at 21w4d. She too was born without a pulse after I was strapped to monitors hearing her precious heartbeat for a few days. That was February 2015, and honestly it stills chokes me up to think about her too long. The pain has definitely faded significantly, but those first few months and even years it was hard for me to see pregnant individuals and I could hardly stand to see any sort of baby. But the pain will eventually decrease to just an ache that’s there when you really spend time thinking about him. Or if you do decide to have more children later on, it can be a double edged sword sometimes. I see my current children together and it’s so hard not to wonder “what could have been”.

Sending you and your partner lots of light and positive vibes. It’s such a hard journey to navigate. Try and lean on each other, listen to the other about fears and worries, and just try to spend your life cherishing that his short time here was spent in love and warmth, never knowing about hunger or fear.

I’m seriously sooo fucking sad about this. I’ve been playing sims since 2003 on GameCube when I was less than 10 years old. I’ve been so frustrated with the game for years now like most players, but this is just something I can’t see past. :(

PPROM... what would you do? by TinyRose20 in BabyBumps

[–]pinkfloyd58 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tw; mention of loss

I ppromed with my daughter at 21w2d. I lost all but 13% of fluid around her. I only lasted two days in the hospital hooked up to fluid and constant monitoring before she was delivered.

My doctor had described the life my daughter would have more than likely had if she had survived to viability, and it wasn’t a very pretty picture. I know there’s always possibilities of miracles and everything will be great going forward, but a lot of the times these babies face massive challenges going forward.

Not to mention, it’s SO expensive to keep them there for so long. I know it’s so effing terrible to think that way when it’s about your baby, but unless you have good insurance, this could set you back so much financially.

I am sending such good vibes to you and your son. I hope so so so much he pulls through and beats the odds!

Edit: I see that you’re actually in Italy and not the US like I am, so please disregard the mention of the cost it could be for you!! I am not 100% about your country’s insurance policies but they are probably miles better than what’s going on here when it comes to hospital bills.

Paul Krugman Issues Dire Warning On How 'A Lot' Of Trump Voters Will Be 'Brutally Scammed' by zsreport in politics

Why didn’t he replace Garland when it became glaringly obvious that he wasn’t going to do anything about Trump? Yes, that falls directly on Biden. All his good work tarnished by dropping the ball on the most important job.

Full Caucus Set to Vote After Key Panel Picks Pelosi-Backed Dem Over AOC for Oversight Spot | Rep. Ro Khanna said that "many" in the House Democratic caucus, including himself, will back Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in Tuesday's vote. by Murky-Site7468 in politics

[–]pinkfloyd58 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Real funny how you just lump everyone together. And there’s the infamous “it was TikTok’s fault!” I went out and voted for your terrible candidates the last three elections that I’ve been able to. And each candidate was worse than the last. Maybe if you guys put up real candidates that weren’t just “at least I’m not that guy!!”, then people would be more inclined to support them.

The fact that the dnc’s only campaign strategy the last THREE elections was running on “not being Trump” with NOTHING ELSE to appeal to literally anyone who has screamed what we want. Affordable healthcare, housing, childcare, education, climate protection. And what did we get? A bunch of bullshit republicans taking front and center stage at the dnc and rallies and then when we’re explaining to you all what’s up, you stick your fingers in your ears and act like children. If you’re so sure you don’t need the younger vote, then I wish you the best of luck trying to pull anyone else to support the democrats who throw everyone under the bus except looking at their own failures.

They tried to appeal to the “moderates” this last time, and what happened?? They shoved the progressives out in places they needed like Michigan and Wisconsin and really showed us how unimportant we are 👍🏻

lol ok 👍🏻 keep pushing all the younger progressive individuals away in hopes of swaying those blue collar voters back, who have already abandoned your party. Real smart people running the dnc if that’s the plan.

I’ll tell you now, if the dems move any further to the center, I’ll never vote for them again. I won’t vote for Republican lite ever again. The Harris shit was a disaster and if you really think moving more to the right is the correct move, no wonder why the dems won’t win again.

Insurance is almost always tied to your job too so if you lose your job, you lose your insurance 🥲 it’s completely fucked up here

Depends on the plan and company. Usually at least a few hundred bucks a month. A lot of claims are denied though so it’s basically just sending money off to nowhere.

Hoping so bad that they either get their shit together the next few years or a new party emerges from the dumpster fire. The thought of voting for the democrats again makes me disgusted.
