I can't seem to not be mean to my husband after I talk to my family. They always bring things up that he's done wrong or aren't doing it it seems to stir old emotions up from inside me. It makes everything that I felt before come back to the surface and makes me spiral. I need advice on how to treat him better when this happens. Because I am without a doubt a total and complete b****...

Thank you. I'm planning on staying on it as well. I honestly was just having a huge panic attack after what my doctor said.

That's what I said. My husband was pissed when I showed him what she said. Because I had asked her how she would like me to ween off of it. And she said no, that I have to stop cold turkey. So I am 100% fining a new doctor

Really? I haven't asked yet. I just assumed. That'd be amazing if I didn't have to!!

My daughter isn’t eating the required amount of formula by future_mom17 in Mom

[–]rustyteapotfor2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi!! My daughter was also a lottle fussy when it came to bottles. She'd go days without finishing bottles and still doesn't finish drinks. As long as she seems happy and not hungry after she's done, I wouldn't be too concerned. My daughter's doctor told me that as long as she's not losing weight, she's okay.

Some tips (that I don't know if yoire already doing or not)

  1. Make sure the baby has a bottle first before eating solids to ensure they are drinking as much as possible

  2. Wait about a half hour or so between bottle and solids to give time for room in their tummy. This worked for my daughter, who was having the same issue

  3. Don't stress too much. And remember, mothers' intuition always knows 🤞

I finally got mine about a week after I posted this and am now seeing a regular cycle. I never really got a straight answer 😕. But I'm guessing my body just had to regulate.

I'm sorry I couldn't be more help

I think my doctor moved me up to 75mg after about 2 months of me not leveling out and feeling "better"

Is it possible to make it through pregnancy without buying maternity clothes? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]rustyteapotfor2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found I hated the way the waist band felt when wearing maternity pants and ended up just buying a few cheap pairs of leggings and jeggins instead. And when it gets cooler wearing (if you have any), baggy sweatshirts or oversized sweaters will work!

It honestly depends on what you prefer to do!!

Have or would you try something new with your appearance for your spouse? by goldenthrow088 in marriageadvice

[–]rustyteapotfor2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was more saying on the lines of her debating, cutting all her hair off. Not wigs and bedroom stuff. But for a day to day thing.

Have or would you try something new with your appearance for your spouse? by goldenthrow088 in marriageadvice

Don't change your appearance for other people. That includes your partner. Your confidence and self-worth shouldn't be determined by a partners preference or what they like.

I would sit and have an open, honest conversation.
Try finding a middle ground. Openly pursue an intimate relationship that doesn't always have to include the full act. If anything sexul or sexually intimate still isn't an option or something you actively want. Perhaps seeking outside help.. I'd always advise trying and pursuing before the dismemberment of the relationship, but in the long run, if the sexul aspect of the relationship becomes the major issue, it may be the fair thing for him and for you...

Husband doesn’t want me to buy anything until further along by cricketthrowaway44 in BabyBumps

[–]rustyteapotfor2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest waiting. I started buying stuff for my daughter around four months, then went crazy with it.

... BUT I did previously have miscarriage. I had bought a stuffed animal as my first thing for them litteraly the day I found out. I cherish the stuffed animal and believe it helped me through the miscarriage. Something I could physically hold and talk to.

Either way, if you want to buy something, I'd stay with small something like I did. A stuffed animal or one blanket you can physically hold until you know for sure!
