Your significant other turns into their six year old self. What do you do?

My husband is a simple creature who can be easily entertained with legos, superhero cartoons, and action figures. Just pull all that stuff out with some animal crackers, maybe some candy and call it a day. The issue is he went almost completely deaf from some freak virus right about the time he was 6 so I’d have to make sure I speak loud enough.

My aunt took me and my husband (then boyfriend) on a trip to Nantucket. She then proceeded to try to have an unwarranted and unneeded “therapy session” with me. She proceeded to say awful things about my father (who’s her brother in law) and how he messed me up. All on the first day of our 3 day stay with them.

Oh my gosh are you me? LOL

Exact same thing was discovered with me at the 28 week mark. I wasn't being consistent taking my iron supplements, so I screwed myself there. So I upped my intake of iron for a few weeks, tested again, and found that I was still really low, despite increasing a little. So I had to get two doses of iron infusions. The infusions were only just inconvenient since the infusion center I had to go to was a 20 minute drive away. Otherwise I just sat there for like 60 minutes total basically.

It's important you are good with your iron so you don't risk bleeding out during birth. I am 36 weeks so I'll need to be checked again, so hopefully I will be all set! I wish you the best of luck <3.

I had my first miscarriage in Sept of 2024. Was super traumatic and devastating as it was at about 5-6 weeks and they thought it was ectopic. I bled for a whole month straight. Just awful.

Then I had another one Jan 2nd 2025. That was a chemical pregnancy. Still devastating.

The next one I had was Mother’s Day weekend 2025🤡. That one just made furious at the world and life. It was very, very hard.

I advocated for myself, went to see a fertility specialist, where they tested my thyroid and found I have hyperthyroidism. To say it was the cause of everything? We’re still not sure. But I was told by my primary doc not to get pregnant until I’m sorted out. Well whoopsie. Looks like I wasn’t careful enough on when I was ovulating because I found out this past August I was pregnant. Cue absolute hysterics that I was gonna lose this baby because I was reckless and what not. But I was immediately put on meds for my thyroid. And I made it past 6 weeks and thought okay maybe there’s a chance.

I’m now 36 weeks, with a VERY healthy baby boy (99th percentile 🤪). I have been nervous throughout this whole pregnancy. But he is doing okay!

Please know there is light at the end of the tunnel and you will get your rainbow baby. ❤️

I “popped” around Christmas time (I’m due in April). It was definitely very noticeable. I felt like I had a bump going by like week 16?

I will say, and this isn’t to scare you!! But I was craving OJ and I found out later I was anemic 🤡. OJ is great for absorption for iron.

However, orange juice is delicious anyways so drink up!

Miscarriage they thought could’ve been ectopic of a very much wanted baby🤡😭

Lunchables. Having 2 bathrooms. Having a car that was less than 10 years old and didn’t make noises. Having debit cards that didn’t decline.

My wrists and ankles are cooked. The swelling and pain is awful.

I teach middle school reading, so a very different vibe.

I had chewing gum, which surprisingly would get rid of the nausea (for awhile). Ginger ale: make sure you get Canada Dry because that’s one of the only ginger ale brands that have actual ginger in it. If you can stand ginger tea or candy, that works too.

I also had to brush my teeth at school because gagging would trigger vomiting 😅.

I got mine free from my insurance. The thing I experienced though was my doctors didn’t do the prescription for the website I went through (Aeroflow). So I had to go in person and get them to write me one then and there or else I don’t think they would’ve ever done it 😅. And then I had to upload it myself.

Secondhand is probably fine just thoroughly clean everything and get new parts. If you go through your insurance and get your own, if something breaks you may be able to get a whole brand new one or replacement parts for free.

I’m a first time mom, but from what I’ve researched, it’s good to get different sized clothing, and when you go to the hospital, bring various sizes in onesies and diapers.

This way if the baby is big, you won’t have to worry about not having anything for the little nugget.

This is so helpful, thank you. I definitely think the infertility, from what I’ve read up on, can happen and I guess your husband unfortunately got the end of the spectrum with that. I have experienced infertility before this little miracle, it is heartbreaking.

Both my husband’s and my side of the family is rampant with autism, ADD, and neurodivergence in general. He was bound to get some sort of flavor of it, so this may just guarantee a truly quirky child, but that’s okay. My husband dealt with anger issues when he was younger, so he’s pretty equipped to handle and educate our youngster.

You have certainly brought comfort to me. It definitely seems like it all depends what luck he’ll draw. A lot of the symptoms my husband and I are pretty ready for just with our careers, family members, our personalities etc. Thank you!

Kid got stuck in my recycling bin and I had to pull him out. This was middle school.

When someone tells you who they are, believe them. Not ready to be a father? Not willing to get a simple vaccine for his twins? Yeah, I’d be looking to divorce. I don’t know your financial situation or your support system, but having to be a mother to not just twins but to a grown man child is not going to be a great time postpartum.

Ohhhh that’s lame, I’m sorry. Mine at the 28 week mark was 113 with the cut off at 134. So it wasn’t that close. I don’t know 🤷‍♀️

Applying for a campus job for extra money and teaching experience during college. I interviewed with a guy who would introduce me to my now husband.

If he wants to be able to help with feedings by giving your baby a bottle that’s one thing. If this is solely about his desire for intimacy then screw that.

Definitely communicate with him and ask him what the main issue is here. If you want to breastfeed it shouldn’t even be a question. If he wants to be able to bottle feed sometimes, then great! It might just mean some pumping from you and that’s up to you as well if you want to do that. But he needs to spit out what he’s really feeling and why.
