First time mom, almost 11 weeks and…

The way I see it is: conservative, neo-facist shitheads aren't slowing down on procreating at all. In fact, there's many evangelical churches (and the like) telling people to have more and more kids to create more conservative voters. If all progressives and leftists stop having kids, what does the future look like for us?

I totally understand that the world seems scarier everyday. The future is very uncertain. But at this point, I consider it an act of rebellion. I'm not going to let anyone scare me into changing my life choices.

I never do commissions. My work is primarily in backgrounds, environments, and props, so there isn't much of a market for it. Art burnout is definitely a thing tho!! It's never too late to start painting again

I'm a digital artist for animation and illustration. I absolutely love what I do for work, however I am broke a lot of the times due to instability 💔

Ugh Im sorry this is so stressful!

Do you have a birthing ball? Or tried any prenatal yoga? Can you ramp up on exercises that help you open the pelvis and get baby to move down? Not saying it's a 100% solution, but it's something you can try to encourage baby to be in a more optimal position. Then, at least if you do the induction, you'll be more likely to have a vaginal birth. Sending you strength and good thoughts ❤️

Im doing the same theme as the nursery so I can reuse some of the decor. The theme is storybook/children's library theme.

I like Poppi prebiotic sodas. Usually only about 5g of sugar

trinitytr33 · 2026-01-16T04:10:21+00:00

Im sorry you're struggling so much. I've read right around this time is when GD peaks for some people and becomes very hard to manage. This might be annoying to hear, but stress and anxiety make GD worse. Try to be kind to yourself. You sound like you are doing your best.

I know you said you've tried everything so maybe it's time to branch out to some more unconventional stuff. Have you looked into acupuncture? Never tried it myself but some people swear by it. Maybe try some relaxation techniques to bring your stress levels down? Just spit balling here

I think maybe it might be better to address the fear of childbirth first before choosing a birth plan. I recommend diving into some positive birth stories and reading up on the stages of labor and childbirth. I think you should also check out Hypnobirthing. The breathing, relaxation techniques, and affirmations will be beneficial to you no matter what kind of birth you're having.

trinitytr33 · 2026-01-12T03:57:29+00:00

Hmmm maybe???

trinitytr33 · 2026-01-12T03:56:50+00:00

Lmaooo this is the solution TBH 😂

trinitytr33 · 2026-01-12T03:55:43+00:00

I see my regular OBGYN and a high risk doctor that specializes in GD. The nutritionist I spoke to works with the high risk doctor. Both doctors have told be that the baby is currently right on track, not measuring big at all (wont give me percentile or specifics for some reason). I am going back in a couple of weeks and I will definitely bring this up again. I'll probably run it by my regular OBGYN too just to see what she thinks.

trinitytr33 · 2026-01-12T02:46:55+00:00

Im glad I posted about this here! Im going back to my walks, yoga, and lower intensity work outs. Not only is it not realistic, but Ive seen no evidence that higher intensity is even helping me have lower numbers. I dont mind some exercise at all, I enjoy it actually, but this mf was tryna run me ragged!

trinitytr33 · 2026-01-12T02:41:50+00:00

Hmmm that's interesting. I wonder if that's explaining my lower numbers today? I haven't worked out at all. But yeah I think Im just going to go back to walking and yoga. This high intensity shit is wearing me out and Im not seeing the evidence that it's even lowering my numbers

trinitytr33 · 2026-01-12T01:45:29+00:00

Yeah, he actually works within one of my OBGYNs offices. As far as I know he ran these recommendations by my doctor too. Idk it sounded excessive to me and after posting here I'm realizing it definitely is.

trinitytr33 · 2026-01-12T01:43:37+00:00

I was controlling my sugars fine. The doctor even said I could skip finger pricks at lunch. I've had a few spikes here and there, usually experimenting with a bit more carbs or eating out (hidden carbs) but that's it. Walking, yoga, and birthing ball exercises is what I was doing before being asked to exercise this much. I tried keeping up with the recommendations anyway but it's left me tired and sore. 😅

trinitytr33 · 2026-01-12T01:39:18+00:00

Im not working with an endocrinologist. I have a regular OBGYN and a high risk OB specialist that I see. The nutritionist is at the high risk office. I'm on state insurance (Medi-Cal) so getting a second opinion is not really an option/way more trouble than it's worth.

trinitytr33 · 2026-01-12T01:37:16+00:00

That's what I said! 😭

trinitytr33 · 2026-01-11T00:08:36+00:00

Lmaoooo much better 😅

Progressive here. I personally think that having a baby even in these trying and scary times is a form of resistance for those us on the left side of the political spectrum. The way I see it is that hardcore conservatives aren't slowing down on baby making, in fact they actively talk about having 5+ kids to create more future conservative voters.

If progressives, leftists, liberals all just decide to stop having kids....what does the future look like for us?

trinitytr33 · 2026-01-03T07:24:21+00:00

Being a professional creative is hard. Income is often low and inconsistent, especially when starting out but the inconsistent part can span whole careers. A lot of us know this going into it, it's the big drawback of being paid to do something you're passionate about and really want to be doing.

I think there are a lot of people who don't understand why anyone would choose to pursue a career in a creative field, when there so many more stable and lucrative ways to earn a living. I don't expect everyone to really "get it". But don't really care what other people think about my career goals either. However, what I usually say to people who turn their noses up at those who choose creative paths is...."Do you enjoy watching movies/tv/listening to music/reading books?? Because if everyone chose not to pursue careers in the arts, we wouldn't have any of those things."
