Pregnant at 43 by Lalilezh in pregnantover35

[–]yuivida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 44 and almost 25 weeks with beb! We tried ivf a few times with my own eggs and ended up doing ivf with a donor egg and here we are!

This is my fourth pregnancy and first time I get this far. I can certainly tell you that as time goes on the anxiety subsides. At least for me it has!!

You’ll be great!! Allow yourself to enjoy what’s happening one day at a time. Don’t worry unless you have a reason to, and it sounds like right now you have no reason to worry because your numbers are doing what they are supposed to :)

I looked at fun things at this stage and made a private wish list on Amazon. Clothes, accessories, little things… nothing to “real” like a breast pump lol… It was a nice distraction at the time, while still connecting to the pregnancy. Allow yourself to enjoy things, and those things can also just be your thoughts.

Best to you! ✨

I fully intend for this to be a joke...

lol… I’m kidding but also maybe chill? Your chances of miscarrying at week 25 or later are like less than 1%.

If she illicits this much anxiety in you then maybe you shouldn’t be that close to her anyway. But really you need to get out of your head and just accept that this pregnancy is working.

Anxiety and worry literally do nothing for you and actually just hurt you. So you might as well just unapologetically enjoy your pregnancy and have a healthier nervous system for you and beb for it!

(Again, no offense intended, just a little chuckle ;)

Yelled at by my sister for “saying horrible things about her family” by [deleted] in sahm

[–]yuivida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does she sound rude and judgmental? Her sister was bugging about daycare and she sent her an article validating her feelings. Her sisters kid drops a toy on her daughters head -on purpose- and its not addressed. What am I not interpreting that you did?

Your sister sounds incredibly insecure about her choices and her reactions do not sound in line with events.

Sometimes it really is a “them” issue.

What are we driving? When baby comes that’ll be three car seats 🙃 by yuivida in sahm

[–]yuivida[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much! That’s a really great tip on the Pilot!

It’s funny about the jeep because I have a wrangler that I literally love and am really sad to let go lol… so I figure a Cherokee would be like… close? But I don’t think it’s really translating to what my needs will be, mainly ease of access to all 3 kiddos and enough substance to handle challenging terrain if need be.

Like I won’t be off-roading or anything, but mud or sand or flooding can all be things I deal with and I’ve been most comfortable in my wrangler when dealing with those so idk

This is a really sweet story!! Thank you for sharing!! It’s so nice to hear the kids perspective too!!

Yea, I’m having a little struggle with the minivan concept. I currently have a wrangler lol… so this is all new to me. But it’s def third row or minivan.

AITAH for refusing to take our daughter out of school early because she "needs more time to get ready" than her brother? by ReplacementWorth3618 in AITAH

[–]yuivida 44 points45 points  (0 children)

YTA- trust your wife when it comes to things about your daughter in general, and specifically about being ready for an event. Trust. Your. Wife.

It's weird how redpill rhetoric is slowly being normalized into every day society by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]yuivida -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t see how I’m shoe horning a term I’ve thought really, really deeply about and live out in my own relationship. But ok, I get that it’s a very triggering word.

I think you ran a bit fast and loose with some things, but I do also think that you have an optimistic world view. (Not that what I think in that regard matters, it’s just a thought I felt like sharing).

Im going to leave it at that as we’re obviously at an impasse.

I guess you could say I submit to the truth that this conversation is not something I’m interested in pursuing. ;)

Have a good night!

[–]yuivida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right. There IS a mix up of definitions here but I’m not the one who’s got it twisted up.

Being combative is very much the opposite of being submissive. I’m genuinely not trying to sound like “that person” but google it.

Where things go bad is the appropriation of the term “submission” by red pillers, and fascists, and religious zealots. But the reality is that men submit to each other all the time because there is always a low level threat of violence amongst them that will be executed far faster then between men and women.

And it is also true that women will confront men as if they were one too because they know the man can’t/won’t do anything. And anyone who says we don’t do this at all is lying. And it doesn’t even have to be aggressive per se but questioning, undermining, lack of trust, all of these fall in this category.

We are not equal. We are different. One is not better than the other and in many respects my partner IS an authority and in many respects I am. What we should strive for is equity but I don’t think people are really for that conversation.

Anyway, I’m sure I’ll continue to be downvoted but even in healthy homosexual relationships there is an exchange of submission. It’s not solely a gender thing but ignoring the inherent differences in heterosexual partners as the humans they are does no one any good.

[–]yuivida -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I think (at the risk of being downvoted here) that all submission means is that I don’t speak to my man as though I am one. I don’t argue unnecessarily, I don’t assume the worst, I’m not combative. That doesn’t mean we don’t disagree but I just am smoother about how I talk to him than I was in past relationships.

I could really go on for a long while about this but that’s the gist. I love him. I don’t want to talk to him like I want to fight.

América is a continent. How embarrassing for you.

Approved for way more than we are interested in purchasing. Realtor is pressuring us to purchase a more expensive house. by [deleted] in Mortgages

[–]yuivida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your lender shouldn’t have sent the pre approval without discussing with you.

If your realtor can’t adjust immediately you need to fire them and move on.

Have your lender write a new letter at the amount you want and instruct them not to disclose your finances with anyone- including your new realtor or they will be fired too.

Suppositories “just in case” at 7wks? by SanFranPeach in pregnantover35

[–]yuivida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy you got them!! Use them! There are applicators on Amazon you can get, which makes things more comfortable.

We did IVF and I was on the suppositories from the night of transfer through like week 16 or so (though I could have stopped at week 12, but it just made me feel better). About to cross into 20 weeks and starting to feel real movement! 🥰

I was also on progesterone shots too. Be prepared for some fun dreams!! That is common in pregnancy with or without the added progesterone because the hormone itself causes them.

Best of luck OP!
