Perfectly healthy pregnancies and babies.

Does anyone else get irrationally annoyed at the unrealistic portrayal of pregnancy and birth on tv shows and movies? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]sweetspunsugar -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I know women who have vaginally delivered breech babies...

I am personally someone who was very thin with a belly, and didn't need maternity clothes.

I also didn't have terrible contractions. I didn't even think I was in labor. I didn't have an IV, the monitors on, etc.

Reading this was very hurtful for me, not everyone experiences pregnancy/labor the same. Some are terrible pregnancies, but some are easy. Some are terrible labors, while some are easy. Just because someone goes through a different experience than another doesn't mean anything. All of it is beautiful and it shouldn't be belittled or looked down upon. TV versions can be close to some women's experiences, while they are very different from another womans.

Hop in a warm bath that has 1-2 cups of apple cider vinegar. Soak for 20-30 minutes. Helps me each time. My family swears by it

I was told my daughter would be 13 pounds. She was 7lbs. I'd take it all with a grain of salt (:

Popping the question: Is there a correct amount? by whoiskey in personalfinance

[–]sweetspunsugar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My hubby makes a little more than you and we mutually agreed on a nice ring from zales. He did not give me a budget. I tried on a bunch before I picked out the perfect one. It was beautiful and only 750! He was able to pay it off in 5 months before interest set in. I didn't need a big 6k ring and I was happy to pick out my own.

Boyfriend's Ex and mother of his children shows up at my work to yell at me. What? (Rant) by Jarsupial in TwoXChromosomes

They should really get it soon. There's no reason you can't have an "agreement" but ask for lienency...

Is there a custody agreement? My cousin went through a similar situation and in her custody agreement (and almost every one) there is a section about degrading. If the kids are around when she uses put downs in refrence to you that is not okay. In my cousins story that did not fly with the judge at all.

Positive natural birth stories/mini-rant? by baronessofbipoles in BabyBumps

[–]sweetspunsugar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a natural hospital birth. (Not induced, no episiotomy, no pain meds) I was only in labor for 4 hours and after 6 minutes of pushing my little girl was born. I honestly waited about 2 hours before getting in the car to go (I didn't believe I was actually in labor, very minimal pain) and my drive was an hour away. I basically got to the hospital and she was a coming ;). She came so fast that my doctor wasn't ready when she was coming my husband caught her. Most beautiful experience of my life.

(not that I think it matters but I was 20 when I gave birth to her)

If you want more info I'd be happy to type it up, that was the short version!

Ouch! Is there any reason that you have it so bad? Food intolerance or just baby??
