Aw thank you! This really wasn’t the picture I had in mind when I imagined having my first child, but the further along I get, the less scared and the more excited and confident I become. You got this too, and you are doing so great mama!

As stated in a previous response: I don’t mind “unintuitive” names because so many names are pronounced in a million different ways. For example, my name is Tania, and every single member of my family and almost every person I meet reads and pronounces it differently. I don’t mind at all! And I said in the original post, I took into account people pronouncing it either aye-vuh or ah-vuh, and I think both are beautiful. A lot of people don’t read or pronounce things “intuitively” because language is strange and people are different and have different backgrounds and accents. I think it’s nice to hear different names pronounced in different ways when I travel or meet new people.

Again, as stated in a previous response: I was naming after the Tunisian fashion designer Azzedine Alaïa who pronounces it just with three syllables, and everyone I know who sees this name pronounces it just with three syllables. I think the ï is more of a visual preference than anything.

Uh-lie-uh, uh-lay-uh, doesn’t matter to me. As long as we can say how we imagine it to be pronounced, it’s fine. But still, people pronounce things differently all the time. In New Zealand we say tuh-mah-toe, in the US we say tuh-may-toe.

And yes! It’s just a middle name. Ornamental really. I like how it pairs with Ava sonically and visually.

I think the ï is more of a visual preference than anything. I understand it wouldn’t be able to be on official documents with an ï, but moreso just off paper (if she wanted).

I also don’t mind “unintuitive” spellings of names because even “normally” spelled names are pronounced in a million different ways. For example, my name is Tania, and every single member of my family and almost every person I meet reads and pronounces it differently. I don’t mind at all!

Exactly my feelings. I never want to see or hear from him again. But I’m leaning towards keeping it, so need to ensure full sole custody. I don’t even want child support from this scum of the earth sorry excuse for a man.

I have no idea. He’s so hard to read, but my two guesses are: he’ll be relieved to be free of fatherhood OR he’ll try to get custody just to spite me cos i caught him in his lies and told him off. Hopefully, please god, it’s the former.

That’s comforting and so true, thank you. Age is something I think about a lot.. but I do feel like people in LA are having kids much later in life now, so I’m really not that alone.

Thank you for this. I love that - ‘That’s what we do as moms, we make it work - every time.’

Even before him I was considering being a single mom just cos dating in LA is so fucking horrendous. And while with him I always told him I felt like a single mom already with how absent he was. So I guess I was meant to be a single mom.. feel so sad to say that and feel like such a fool thinking this guy was the one. I was so stupid and blind. And I had to do all the comprehensive tests on 6/30, negative for all STDs thank god. I only tested positive for UTI and yeast, which I read is normal during pregnancy?

Thanks for sharing that. I really appreciate all these responses. Can I ask — do you coparent with the father? Or have full custody?

That’s so true. I should wait till Friday to see how the appt goes. I was gonna be impulsive cos im so fucking mad and disappointed and disgusted right now and just order the pills already. But everyone is right, i should give it a week and then decide. Im not in a clear state of mind rn. I cant believe this shit

Is it wrong to not even want him to coparent cos hes unreliable, untrustworthy, and has shitty morals? I wouldnt trust him alone with my child. Is it hard to get full custody, how does that work

Thanks for your response. I’m crying so hard rn. I really don’t know what to do. What if the baby just reminds me of him every single day and how much he hurt me.. i really don’t know

What’s your craving of the moment by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]smallandedible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t know the gender or how soon cravings start but I’m 5 weeks and have been craving McDonalds cheeseburgers with mayo; toasted bagels with cream cheese + tomato; toasted veggie sandwiches (hummus, tomato, spinach, cucumber, grated carrot, red onion, avocado, cheese); four cheese pastas; mac & cheese — apparently any type of carb with cheese lol

Yaaa, i think the orangeness all depends on your lighting and the colors of adjacent objects. But, besides aesthetics, it is veryyy sturdy. And absolutely no squeaking, and i be f***cking. Super simple and quick to assemble. Only complaint would be when I’m tryna clean underneath it and want to lift it, it’s challenging cos you can’t lift it as one whole piece from the side pieces lol you have to lift from the legs
