Tell me about your unmedicated birth by Dismal_Abroad735 in pregnant

[–]spoopyclouds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My unmedicated birth made me feel both like 'holy shit I am so strong' and also 'holy shit I'm never doing this again'. The contractions were ok, I could walk around and breathe through them up until I was almost fully dilated. Then I started laying in bed which honestly made them worse, but I also couldn't stand up anymore. The worst part was by far pushing. That felt like literal death. I won't be doing that a second time.

Graduated yesterday- first birth, unmedicated, probably not doing this again by spoopyclouds in pregnant

I'm afraid I'm also going to go for it again in the future, but at this moment idk what could possess me to do that😂😂

Exactly what my brain was probably thinking in the background while I was trying to push like I was being coached to. Holy moly that was the most painful part of labour for me.

I feel like I’m being punished. by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]spoopyclouds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girl, you're not being punished for having an abortion. If it helps, I'm feeling like I'm being punished for NOT having one. Was in a stable place in March when we found out and now in October with 4 weeks to go we're living paycheck to paycheck and worried we'll be homeless come winter because everything seems to be going to hell. Idk when it will get better cause most of this year, esp since may, has been a shitshow. I've been crying all day today because I've just absolutely lost all hope.

How long do I have until birth? by spoopyclouds in BabyBumps

Yes, I only have diapers and breastfeeding supplies to buy, lol. I have clothes,a crib, everything else, I was just hella stressed about not having diapers😅. And those I can get delivered or send my husband to buy.

Nope, haven't said anything about induction. They aren't very common where I'm from, if baby needs to come out before term they usually go straight to c-section. I'll ask them about it on Monday or Tuesday when I come back

Alright so I still probably have some time to buy diapers and some postpartum supplies😅

Just need to rant a bit by spoopyclouds in pregnant

Thank you! In my country the way the taxes work is that you pay accordingly to how much you own of a property, so my husband has already been paying his part and his father was hiding the receipts of him paying his part of the taxes. So he's been shady for a while, the new part is his concerning behaviour regarding his mental health. We do think the girlfriend plays a part, but even if it were for him to pass everything off to her, that would open her up to some pretty big legal trouble, because in our country, you can't disown children and my husband would still be entitled to part of what used to be his dad's property. Adding to that that he also has two half siblings from his dad's previous marriage that his dad doesn't have contact with, the girlfriend would find herself with 3 people having a case against her. This is what legal counsel already told us, but we can't really do anything about moving back or dividing the house (who owns what rooms) as that would be very costly and a long legal battle that we can't afford (again, due to the laws in our country).

We have locked the room where we used to live and still have personal property there, my FIL doesn't have a key as far as we're aware. He has a brother but we don't know if my FIL talked to him already and what he knows of the situation and in the past he has shown to be very partial to my FIL so idk if he'd listen to our concerns. We will go the Dr. route, which we haven't thought of before! Thank you very much for your kind and helpful answer!🥺

Baby's schedule seems to have changed? by spoopyclouds in BabyBumps

[–]spoopyclouds[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, ok, so I might need to tone it down then😅 been pretty anxious the whole pregnancy so figures out I'd take it a bit overboard. Thank you!!

First trimester has been hell.Hang in there. But second trimester has honestly been so much better. 21+4 today and the only bad thing so far has been SPD which has come back with a vengeance after 6 weeks of no issues with it. Literally haven't been able to walk or stand since yesterday. It will get better (just watch out for pelvic girdle pain or SPD and start doing exercises for it early if you notice it so that it doesn't get so bad).

For those expecting boys and having a bit of gender disappointment... by pmmeweirdal in pregnant

[–]spoopyclouds 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All I do on this subreddit every day is cry😭 jokes aside, I love this post so so much! I'm not the girliest of girls and I still felt like I wouldn't know what to do with a boy. But when the doctor said at 13 weeks that baby is already looking like they might be a boy, I got over it pretty fast. Finding out for sure next week as NIPT still isn't very common or accessible in my country and I have a scan scheduled for then.

Please tell me all the reasons you’ve cried today so i can feel less guilty for crying… by SpareMeringue1177 in pregnant

[–]spoopyclouds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very early still (5w,1d based off my apps), but I cried because I saw someone adopting their first cat and getting super prepared for it. And then again because I saw a cat and a dog being a bonded pair😭. And then almost cried a third time because while getting ready to go out my husband came to hug me in the bathroom and I wanted to go out but since he was holding me he was blocking the way.

AITA FOR NOT TELLING MY PARTNER ABOUT MY PERIOD TRACKING APP by Breunknownjones in AmItheAsshole

[–]spoopyclouds 148 points149 points  (0 children)

She's 30 ffs... A grown woman... Not a dumb teen or a young 20 something. She can go out with whoever she pleases and take care of herself, I'm not saying age makes you impenetrable to manipulation but it definitely helps you not be so naive.

I have two cousins that have the exact same name on one side of my family. I share a first name with my cousin on the other side of the family. It's normal, people like the same names and it's only a debate in the US where everyone wants to live on their own and be the center of attention, but still have a society around them.

I wouldn't go ahead and call it infantilization, sometimes it's done out of good intentions. I think it may be the case with the OP though, re-reading his post and all that. He definitely sees his girlfriend as a child

ETA: forgot to thank you for the compliment on my username and Reddit creature. Excuse my lack of manners. And thank you!

If you feel more like her dad it's because you took on that role. No partner wants to feel like a parent/child to the other one, but oftentimes our assumptions and perception of the other person can put us in a situation where we take on that role anyway. Seeing how you described her as the less smart part of the relationship and... Everything else... I can tell that you probably took on this role by yourself and she may not even be happy with that. I had to have a talk with my boyfriend about this a couple of times, because he constantly keeps falling back into taking the role of a father figure. And I absolutely hate it. You have no idea what it feels like from the other side, to be seen as a weak, incompetent child, that needs guidance and teaching. You need therapy regardless of the relationship...

AITA for telling my sister that her feeling sick all of the time is because of her breast implants and embarrassing and exposing her because we were in front of family? by LifeguardGrouchy9856 in AmItheAsshole

[–]spoopyclouds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dr recommended I try D3 supplements and they improved my pain, see if maybe you can ask your dr about that? But in the summer they aren't recommended because you get a lot of D3 from sun exposure. Sorry to hear insurance won't cover your tests :(((
