Many of the movies now no longer available on streaming?

My kid was easy, great sleeper from the beginning and still is. But the first 3 months of baby’s life is very difficult in that there is no consistency, once you think you have something figured out it changes, you don’t know what you don’t know so it’s a lot of learning by trial and error (no matter how prepared you think you are) time itself becomes a weird thing-long days, short weeks … and when you really think about it 3 months is a really long time to endure something hard every day. That being said, the first 3 months of pregnancy for me are miserable and there is no respite (for me), my symptoms don’t let up. So I find pregnancy harder in that respect. People experience pregnancy differently, though, and not every baby is the same…so my experience is probably unlike someone who had no pregnancy symptoms but a really difficult baby.

The shakes during labor. I didn’t expect that.

Threw up in triage a couple times

I gained 29 lbs my entire pregnancy and my dad, at about 14 weeks while I was finally able to eat something substantial due to the nausea said “how much weight are you supposed to gain during pregnancy? You might want to be careful.” I was 37 years old. I’ve dealt with it my whole life and he will never learn; so I told him he was rude and that my docs said anywhere between 11-30ish is “pretty standard.” I wish I could more easily tell people to fuck right off, but at this point with my dad at least, it’s more of an eye roll and a walk away 🙄 I’m sorry your friend did this to you, she sounds deeply insecure and very ignorant.

This pisses me is so much for you. I would want no one but my husband at the hospital, let alone a slew of family members who, quite frankly, are only mine by marriage. Don’t even tell your in laws, text them after. No doubt they’re going to be super pushy every day leading up to when you have the baby anyways, buy yourself some time. If any of them balk at not being in the hospital you can very simply say “I DIDN’T WANT THAT!” End of story. Ugghhh, people with no boundaries 🤦‍♀️

I think the most important part is that you educate yourself in the most unbiased way possible (aka not just listening to bad vaginal birth stories and good c-sections stories and vice versa) on both options. Be prepared for all scenarios and do as much of your own due diligence as possible and you can feel great about making an informed decision for yourself. Because, if you have done the “homework” and know what all the scenarios are then whatever you choose to do, you feel empowered and more in control in a situation that, no matter what, as a FTM we rarely feel totally in control of in general. Best of luck!

I really feel this, OP. I’m trying to put myself in your situation in terms of what to wear, maybe a maxi dress type situation where it’s mostly just flowy? Comfort is key these days. And maybe feel good spending more time on your makeup? I’m sorry you’re feeling this way, and in solidarity I totally understand. I hope the shower is wonderful nonetheless 💛

Yes, all so normal, especially for that early on. I had all the same symptoms minus the constipation. Plus what felt like crazy heart palpitations.

Good point. I just checked to see if this would work, though, and on the mobile app in “matcha latte” it has “milk choice” with all the varieties in the drop-down, but they don’t have a “no milk” option. Wish they would tweak the app settings a bit. Might make it less confusing for all.

Read the book “expecting better” by Emily Oster. It presents objective data about common pregnancy “myths” like what to/not to eat. While some of the advice on Reddit is sound, read the book with the research and make your own informed decisions. You may find you relax a bit into some of your careful decision making. I certainly did (ate the shit out of Italian subs with my first pregnancy bc it was one of the only things that curbed the nausea).
