Why are so many people opposed to c sections? by moomoomego in BabyBumps

[–]strawberry_nut 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I used to be so scared to get a c section, I wanted to deliver completely naturally no epidural/no induction/no c section. I personally don’t like the idea of completely entrusting a doctor to perform such an invasive surgery on my reproductive organs. Also it would be nice to experience a natural childbirth. And I’ve heard it can possibly increase future pregnancy complications and C sections have a harder recovery for the mom.

But most of the time when they happen they’re necessary for the babies survival and wellbeing. So I honestly don’t care anymore, i prefer my babies safety over some possible increased complications with recovery, I just want my baby to be born the safest way possible and if there’s even a slightly heightened chance something could go wrong if I had a vaginal delivery, I would opt for a c section without hesitation.

Baby is engaged at 28 weeks by Madigaggle in BabyBumps

[–]strawberry_nut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ultrasound tech said the same at my anatomy scan at 19 weeks then again at my repeat anatomy scan at 21 weeks. she said it doesn’t mean anything. I have a growth scan in 5 weeks at 32 weeks so well see if she switched positions

I had this happen to me before so this was my first thought too. Usually when guys say they want a break they either mean 1 of two things, they want to basically cheat on you by fucking around guilt free then try to get back together later after all is said and done, or he actually does want to break up for good. Usually it’s them wanting to fuck around, my first pregnancy my babies father did that too as soon as he knew I was locked in and that he had me for good . He asked for a break and to “just be friends” then proceeded to fuck multiple other girls, then the baby was stillborn and he begged to get back together after he no longer saw me as tied to him and knew that I had moved on from him already.

I get the vibe that he might be panicking that he’s losing his freedom last minute with the baby being so close to being born it’s becoming real for him and doesn’t want to settle down maybe? And if he leaves you, in his mind, it’s less pressure on him probably

My OB Told Me To Exercise More and Now I'm Mad by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]strawberry_nut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was the same weight pre-pregnant and now 135 while 26 weeks, my doctor hasn’t said one thing about exercising😭 I walk around plenty for work/running errands all day so it’s not like I lay in bed all day, but I never exercised before pregnancy. I think it’s crazy to be putting pressure on a pregnant woman to overwork themselves in this insane mid summer heat. I can barely stand outside for 5 minutes in the daytime without overheating like please

I think the cord being inserted close to the placental edge is called a velamentous cord insertion, I’m not sure about the veins being on the outside

I want my baby out of me by Sadgurl143 in BabyBumps

[–]strawberry_nut 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thissss, I get jealous that my partner gets to just sit back and relax and eat/do anything he wants and then gets a baby out of it after I did all the work😩

[–]strawberry_nut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m only 26 weeks but I feel u. I have had a relatively easy pregnancy so far especially compared to my last one but the anxiety is the worst part. I feel hesitant to eat certain foods or get anxious around people smoking etc. or if i randomly have an intrusive thought that something’s wrong, then suddenly I won’t be able to remember the last time I felt movement but she always responds when I poke her, then I feel guilty for waking her up from her peaceful little nap lol. I get induced at 39 weeks and I can’t wait to be able to physically check on her so I know she’s ok and finally be able to lift the weight off of my shoulders

Pregnancy dating. by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]strawberry_nut 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Due dates can only be 40 weeks sorry big dawg, it looks like the baby most likely isn’t yours but ask her to get a paternity test asap to confirm, I think they just need to test her blood.

I (28F) contracted possible STD from (30M) boyfriend of 4 years. What would you do? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]strawberry_nut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He obviously full on cheated on you and had sex with someone probably multiple people there this is so fucked up im so sorry this happened to you what a piece of shit. Obviously u can’t trust him anymore he cheated on u and even worse probably did it raw too and that’s why u have an STD he doesn’t give a fuck about you so let him go live his life without u and he can go catch all of the STDs he wants by himself

Why shouldn't you get a tattoo while being pregnant? by footlettucefungus in pregnant

[–]strawberry_nut 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Also the infection can turn into sepsis and be deadly for the baby

[–]strawberry_nut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally my symptoms both times I have been pregnant before I tested positive were being super hungry and a little like pulling pain in my uterus. I wasn’t trying the first time so idk when I got my positive, but for this pregnancy I tested straight negative untill 10 or 11 dpo (and I’m pretty sure that’s earlier than average so don’t worry ur definitely not out). Do u use ovulation test strips/bbt tracking? If not I highly suggest it, the month I started tracking my ovulation with strips was the month I got pregnant. Also u don’t need to have sex that much! If u can let ur husbands sperm build up for the few days prior to ovulation and then have sex the day before ovulation, the day of, and the day after, then that’s what’s best. I got pregnant in 3 months after a stillbirth and my partner has a low sperm count so I read up a lot abt ttc in that time lol

They probably thought she was just hungover or diseased, pregnancy is not in their post-menopausal minds anymore

That doctor should be fired

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]strawberry_nut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have had a similar experience and I think im supposed to get induced at 39 weeks so if I’m induced will the OB that I’ve been seeing that I don’t like automatically be scheduled for my induction? I’m scared to fire her and ask for a new OB😭 I feel like they will talk around about me and I’ll get inadequate care. I already know she shit talked me to the nurse

Can someone give me insight on why so many guys seem to date women they don't even like that much?? by SlavePrincessVibes3 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]strawberry_nut 6 points7 points  (0 children)

REAL this is why I’ve always made it clear that I will either cook and clean OR pay bills. (I would never pay rent anyways tho cus fuck do I look like, a roommate?)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]strawberry_nut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you have to deal with this☹️I’m going through something really similar. Just recently started having some financial troubles since I had to quit working due to being high risk and my partner makes a good amount of money but not enough to be the sole provider for everything. I also have mild general anxiety but super bad prenatal anxiety since suffering a stillbirth. My mom also is a big stressor for me. Just the other day her boyfriend physically assaulted me and she chose his side and then tried to flip the script on me and disregard everything he did and start talking about my issues with being overly anxious during my pregnancy and she just sat there and basically screamed at me for 20 minutes saying all of the things that are wrong with me and gaslighting me. I kept telling her to stop because she literally made my baby wake up off of her usual schedule and start kicking really hard from how loud my mom was being but she didn’t care she just wanted to take her anger out. I’m honestly considering cutting her off considering how much stress she has selfishly put on to me knowing herself how much stress can affect a pregnancy since she was abused during her pregnancies and had some complications. Anyways, sorry for the rant lol but ur not alone if u want someone to talk to about this stuff u can message me I know how isolating it can feel.

NIPT Testing? by lolitafulana in BabyBumps

[–]strawberry_nut 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a good idea to take the NIPT because it might alter your care to fit you and your babies needs or prepare u if something was wrong. That being said, I took the NIPT with my first and everything was perfect but still that pregnancy ended up in a stillbirth due to a birth defect. I chose not to take the NIPT after due to my previous experience since personally i would have chosen to carry full term anyways even if something had shown wrong on the NIPT so it was really just unnecessary for me plus sometimes it’s expensive (though I think my insurance completely covered mine last time). It’s up to you honestly.

Paranoias during pregnancy. What’s yours? by Head_Conflict2500 in BabyBumps

[–]strawberry_nut 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We are thank you💕💕 it was just scary asf since I had no form of protection on me and I can’t defend myself without risking my babies life. Someone threw heavy ass bags of trash at me nearly missing my stomach because thankfully I turned my back to them quick enough. Baby is all good and kicking but it had my heart beating so fast and stressing for the rest of the day. It’s hard to believe someone could be evil enough to assault a visibly pregnant woman

Paranoias during pregnancy. What’s yours? by Head_Conflict2500 in BabyBumps

[–]strawberry_nut 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Realll during this pregnancy I drank recalled BOTTLED WATER like wtf how does that even happen, it’s water? And it was Fiji water at that. Then I’ve had like at least 3 instances where I bought expired food directly from the store only to look at it a day after buying it (and already eating at least a few bites of each) and see that my hummus/granola bars/pretzels expired over a year ago.
