  • My app has been struggling today too. @kiwi2628 I hope today is a better day for you! 

    Ya’ll I need some advice and I’m coming here because you’re internet strangers who don’t know the people involved. My best friend since I was 7 is married to my husbands cousin who is basically a brother to him. They’ve been married for almost 2 years and dated 6-7 years before that. They met in college via my H and I. We didn’t set them
    up, for the record.

    Anyways, my husband mentioned last night that they had been going through a rough patch and were taking a break, but it wasn’t really his (helis cousins) fault and don’t say anything to her about it. I had no idea, she had mentioned he was grumpy. So today she texts me and wants me to come over later. Of course I’m going over and I want to be as supportive as possible, but I’m all kinds of worried. I’ve never really had friends with “marriage” issues and I want to be there for her. I’m concerned it’s going to be complicated. I’m also worried that their issues could make things tense between H and I.

    Also having issues with slow loading on mobile safari. 

    Finally broke down and admitted that I don’t fit into my old bras anymore and bought some nursing bras from motherhood maternity in the right size. Of course might not fit when baby comes but at least more comfortable now.

    ETA: and I got the free bag which was mostly coupons and small samples.
  • The app is working better for me now! :) 
  • @rc-cola I haven’t been back to my “normal” bra size since having my daughter 21 months ago! Glad you will be more comfortable now. 
  • Wasn't sure the most appropriate place to post this but I'm headed to L&D. Been having contractions every 10-12 minutes for an hour. 
    Ive been having daily contractions since 16 weeks but doc wasn't concerned because they weren't consistent. Would def consider this consistent. Will update soon.

    The app is working better for me now too, I sent a complaint I was so pissed this morning and last night trying to get in.. 
    @cdepperschmidt be there for her to talk about whatever she needs to but don't say an it thing badly about him, especially now that he's your cousin too. When DH and I's friends have relationship problems we listen and give little feedback then DH and I come together at the end of the day and compare sides to the situation but that's conversation doesn't leave us. 

    @mytrueloves fingers crossed everything is okay and that little one stays in there a lot longer!!!
  • @cdepperschmidt today was better but still not good. We have no hot water and wont until at least Monday. #killmenow

    As for your problem, I agree with PP- be a listening ear, and give any helpful marriage advice but no negative opinions on anyone/thing

    @mytrueloves oh wow, FX you and baby are ok
  • @mytrueloves so glad all is good! So then just some intense braxton hicks then? Or is there another, non labor type of contractions I'm in the dark about? (Serious question. I feel like this is something I  should know lol) Those suck horribly! I didn't have them (well that I noticed. My mom said I had so much fluid I wouldn't have noticed them lol) with DS, but have already had them twice with this tiny. Glad you're both safe!!!
  • @mytrueloves I’m glad you went in and they said it was all good. 
  • @mytrueloves  Glad your baby is still staying on the inside! Hope you can take it super easy for the next week.
    So I’m about to go get a brazilian. I used to wax myself but have never been to a professional for it. Probably not the smartest time to start but I’m sick of the forest and the last time I shaved I cut myself so no more razors allowed down there!  :# 
  • @mytrueloves glad you and baby are okay!

    @cdepperschmidt I am sorry to hear the couple is going through a rough patch, but they are lucky to have you as a friend! I agree with the comments about not giving opinions or getting in the middle, but I also would hold off on giving any advice. It just puts you at risk for the ‘cd said...’ in the middle of one of their conversations, and maybe  the other person in the relationship will feel off put or too sensitive to what was shared with you. Even if they know, it just makes the fact that their open wound was exposed to you more real and can make things weird.

    Just be an ear, empathetic, and acknowledge that you appreciate them being open and vulnerable with you guys because that is hard for them to do. Oh and ask what they need from you guys right now!

    You can have contractions but not be in active labor. You can have contractions that are different than BH as well. @jomama1618

  • @mytrueloves glad everything is okay. With this heat, being on bed rest doesn't sound half bad. 

    @cdepperschmidt I agree with what others have said. Listen, but be willing to set boundaries. Tell her you are happy to be an ear, but given the relationship you don't want to get in the middle. Also try not to get defensive when you and DH talk about it. It'll be hard because you will both feel loyalty to your friend/his cousin.

    @mytrueloves so glad to hear you are in the clear and baby is staying put. Take it easy.

  • @mytrueloves - I’m glad everything is okay, and fingers crossed that it stays okay.  

    @cdepperschmidt - Nothing to add to what the others have said, but I am sorry you and your DH are in such a rough position.  
  • cjx95cjx95 member
    We're having some crazy heat lightening and I absolutely LOVE it!
  • Glad to hear that everything is ok @mytrueloves , how scary that must have been!


  • Glad everything is ok @mytrueloves. I don’t know if this will apply for you, but my last pregnancy the dr at the hospital wanted to deliver my twins at 36 weeks because I kept having contractions.  They said they were 5 mins apart or less and it had been going on for hours.  After speaking with my dr and realizing I wasn’t progressing, they finally gave me food and water and between that and the relief that they weren’t going to deliver, the contractions stopped.  My dr said it was a combination of stress, hunger and at first probably some dehydration (they hadn’t given me anything to drink for 6 hours before they gave me IV fluids).
