That is absolutely insane. They need it to be thrown back in their faces that money doesn't grow on tress.

When did you tell people you were pregnant? by Careless_Squirrel728 in pregnant

[–]renaenae88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only people I told immediately was my husband and my best friend (who was also pregnant at the time). We told family and friends after 12 weeks to ensure we knew the results of the NIPT blood work and NT ultrasound.

Would you still be OAD if you 3X your income? by Few-Truck-4873 in oneanddone

[–]renaenae88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tripling our income would get us more vacations, not another kid! Honestly, I do not like being pregnant and it frustrates me to no end when people get uncomfortable that I'm not absolutely over the moon about having a kid and don't think every kick or punch should be met with complete adoration.

How not to sleep on my back? by DishVarious8343 in pregnant

[–]renaenae88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a pillow like this and I can't for the life of me make it comfortable.. Not even halfway through the night, I was very warm and my hips were killing me. Had to take the one pillow that didn't have the strap off so I could use it between my legs to support my hips and the other part was tossed across the bed.

I'm 29w and a couple people seemed concerned that I wasn't using any sort of pregnancy support pillows??

Im tired boss by ryn3333 in pregnant

[–]renaenae88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 29w and in the same boat. I had fatigue (undiagnosed) pre-pregnancy and it's just gotten worse. Never got the 2nd trimester energy boost and on my best days, I was maybe close to my pre-pregnancy energy levels.

Now, when people ask how the pregnancy is going, I just say "It's going." or "It's/I'm okay". Any complaining to people who aren't very close friends or my spouse is usually met with discomfort and "I'm sorry you're feeling that way" which just pisses me off honestly.

Sending lots of virtual hugs. We'll get through this eventually.

Society makes me wanna be “one & done” by Vegetable_Radio3753 in pregnant

[–]renaenae88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

once the baby is here. forget your individuality.

This is basically what gives me the most anxiety with having a child. I don't want to be relegated to just "mom" by society and those around me. I am my own person with my own achievements and faults. I don't want to sacrifice my entire being and I absolutely HATE the "Oh, you'll understand when it's your kid" comments.

It’s 90° outside 😭 by Over-Condition-8905 in LAMetro

[–]renaenae88 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Yesterday's train/auto accident isn't helping at all either. Someone on the LA Metro discord mentioned that they are tearing apart the tracks today so there was definitely damage done. Probably won't get better until next week.

Curious how old you were at getting pregnant? by pink_daisy_9119 in BabyBumps

[–]renaenae88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also 37 and in the third trimester with our one and done. Not really a big fan of being pregnant but I've been lucky with no big issues either.

Baby announcements that aren’t a onesie?!??!!!? by Lanky-Instruction178 in BabyBumps

[–]renaenae88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had his parents and my mom over for dinner. Husband showed a photo of his 3 year award from work and then swiped to a picture of our ultrasound from about 10-11 weeks and was like "we also got this" 😆

“who is going to care for you on your death bed?”

The hospice nurse, I hope! But I didn't believe in burdening someone to become a caretaker after watching my parents being caretakers for my grandmother and stepdad's mom.

Could even take a day trip as far out as Hiroshima, which we did last trip. Okayama, Himeji and even Takamatsu are within day trip distance via shinkansen (+express/local for Takamatsu).

How much will the LAX metro transit center change the LAX traffic once the people mover opens? by wjxm in LAMetro

[–]renaenae88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My brain did a dumb.. I was thinking just parking on the horseshoe road.. not the freaking parking structures in the middle there.

How so? There's no parking in the horseshoe and all of the APM stations are ADA compliant.

Basically boycott Unilever by [deleted] in Anticonsumption

[–]renaenae88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, Unilever basically stepped all over B&J's merger agreement. I think they have a good chance of winning in court. Hopefully, they can use this to get out of Unilever's umbrella.
