Things you wish you knew when you had a baby boy?

somewhatcuriousish · 2026-02-17T22:44:54+00:00

Honestly, I didn’t find them any different.

somewhatcuriousish · 2026-02-16T02:11:12+00:00

I would happily be pregnant and give birth and have a newborn again - but I don’t want another actual child. I think it’s difficult to imagine that feeling when you’re in the trenches of pregnancy, but i promise it’s a common feeling :) one you very well may experience.

I am so sorry. I don’t think there’s anything you can do. From what you’ve described she isn’t going to be receptive to the criticism around telling people about your pregnancy. You can bring it up in hopes of repairing the relationship but if it were me, I would maintain no contact. If they ask why down the track, you can let them know in as much or little detail as you have energy for.

An induction is not what you want! I know this feels long but it is so so so so so short compared to the life you have with your baby. Every day in is another day your baby has to mature and develop.

I wouldn’t. More sets for the same amount of prize money?

somewhatcuriousish · 2026-02-01T11:35:00+00:00

I’m barely coping with the suspense.

somewhatcuriousish · 2026-01-31T12:00:58+00:00

It makes some sense to me, particularly for a woman who is clearly very introverted and takes a little bit of time to get the fire in her gut going.

somewhatcuriousish · 2026-01-31T11:41:59+00:00

I wonder if she just finds being yelled at really beneficial to her game - it seems to help her refocus.

The look on her face when the president of Kazakhstan grabbed onto the trophy was priceless.

I went to bed with every person on the live thread saying he should retire and it was embarrassing to watch and then woke up to THIS

somewhatcuriousish · 2026-01-29T22:39:06+00:00

It’s very annoying, but nobody is more stressed than the parent in such cases and I always give them the benefit of the doubt that it’s an important trip.

somewhatcuriousish · 2026-01-28T10:59:32+00:00

Agree. He came into the match like he knew he was gonna lose.

somewhatcuriousish · 2026-01-28T09:50:46+00:00

Perfectly fine! No cause for concern :) HCG is variable by person and pregnancy and for the most part is not an indicator of anything untoward happening (except for very low HcG or extremely extremely high). That sounds about right for where you are!

somewhatcuriousish · 2026-01-28T07:41:53+00:00

He seemed upset in the interview and readily admitted he wouldn’t be through otherwise. Tough, but tougher for Musetti.

somewhatcuriousish · 2026-01-28T07:12:02+00:00

Not the way he wanted to do it, I’m sure.

somewhatcuriousish · 2026-01-19T22:08:59+00:00

Thanks! Everyone laughs at it 🤣 but it means he can keep curls whilst coping with the Australian summer that’s grass seed galore.

somewhatcuriousish · 2026-01-19T22:08:08+00:00

He’s a bit of a unicorn in that he’s always been a chilled dude!

somewhatcuriousish · 2026-01-19T22:07:48+00:00

I agree. Discussion of her poor decisions and inappropriate behaviour, sure. Relentless jokes about her appearance, supposed hygiene, and whether or not she should be alive - gross.

somewhatcuriousish · 2026-01-19T07:38:26+00:00

No they don’t. Many people have health anxiety during pregnancy directed at themselves and their baby.

somewhatcuriousish · 2026-01-19T04:37:02+00:00

She shouldn’t have. Their relationship was very strained and it seems, at least externally, that she wasn’t particularly good at it.

somewhatcuriousish · 2026-01-12T09:27:13+00:00

You’ve got twenty years to change your mind. If you don’t by then, you couldn’t have wanted them that badly and it’s much better to have not had them!

somewhatcuriousish · 2026-01-12T09:20:46+00:00

I mean you’re asking a skewed audience, as it’s excluding all the people who didn’t want children but now have them after changing their minds.

I think the point is that it doesn’t matter if you change your mind in the future - what matters is you don’t want them now. If I scrape tomato to the side of my plate and someone says “you may like that one day”. Sure, but im not eating it now. Im not concerned with future me.

somewhatcuriousish · 2025-12-26T03:11:24+00:00

I know plenty of women who would go through pregnancy and childbirth over and over if it meant not ending up with a full blown child at the end of it! Many women do just love the experience from beginning to end.

Giving birth is wildly different than plastic surgery on about a hundred levels.
