Re: Introduce Yourself Here! Welcome to June 2023!

  • @babyrummom I just wanted to say I’m also scared about viability. The unknown is so hard. My first appointment isn’t until 8 weeks. It seems like a long time to wait. Thinking of you!

  • @elars the waiting game is always so hard. I'm waiting until 9 weeks for my first appointment! I could have gone at 8 weeks, but it worked out better with my work schedule to do it later, which means more waiting!
  • @mmmkayyyyyyy congratulations on twins, that's so exciting! 
  • @kalesix3 thank you! Very exciting and a bit overwhelming, but we’re ready for the adventure!
  • @potato3000 hahaha fellow post-vasectomy baby here too! Hiiii! 3rd baby for me too.

    @maddmama Ugh. What a club! Haha, how old are your other two? Is this pregnancy easier/harder for you so far? I really lucked out the first two times so this pregnancy is fully kicking my butt -- age plays into I'm sure but still, it's been rough!
  • @potato3000 my others are 6.5 and 3(almost 4). It’s sooo much harder! Hahah.
  • @mamababyschulz I lost my dad at 20, too. I still have my mom, but it is so hard to navigate the emotions that come with a new baby when you've lost one (let alone both) of your own parents. Thinking of you ❤️
  • @thescarletmom i turned 20 the month after my dad passed ❤️ it’s a hard age when you’re just becoming an “adult”. My mom has since re-married and her husband is really great with my kids. He’s their grandpa because he’s all they’ve known. But it’s so bitter when I let myself think any deeper into the situation. 
  • @maddmama My dad passed right before my 14th birthday and my mom remarried when I was 25… I struggle so much with letting my daughter call him grandpa. He’s a great guy and loves my daughter so much but it would be too hard for me to hear her call him grandpa. So she calls him by his first name. 
  • @francesgs @maddmama my mom literally *just* got remarried earlier this year (although they were divorced when i was little, long before my dad died, she never so much as dated). I think my mom refers to him as papa with the kids, which doesn't bother me hes a great guy who loves them very much, but I can never bring myself to say it. It's what my dad was called when my son was a baby. He was weeks shy of two when he died, and the other day in the car we were talking about how many grandparents the kids had. Then out of the blue, my son said "All I remember about your dad... is a smile". Cue instant waterworks 🥺 
  • @thescarletmom omg “a smile” 😭😭😭 
  • @maddmama its one of those things that makes you believe in something... he *shouldn't* have memories of my dad because he was just so little, but this is not the first time he's said something about him so unprompted and genuine. I have no idea how else he would have thought of it if it weren't true that he remembered him.
  • @thescarletmom oh F yeah I believe in that stuff.

    Hello everyone. I'm a web designer from Chicago. I am on the 33rd week. My stomach is already like a drum and I don't know how to work sitting at all))) Does anyone have any life hacks?
  • Hi @joeyjoy are you due in December 2022/January 2023? You might check out those BMBs because the ladies here are all due in June 2023 and between 10-6ish weeks. But as a TTM, my best recommendation would be to try sitting on a yoga ball or something that's not a regular chair where you can drop your legs away from your pelvis/open up your hips more. 
  • Hi I am Ashlyn! 26 years old. I work as a F&I manager in the car business. Have no hobbies as work took over my life. I’ve been trying for 4 years. I’ve taken countless tests and had to stop taking them due to the heartbreak of a negative result. But we are so excited to start out little family! Our due date is June 14th which happens to be my nephews 6th birthday! I was that sibling watching all my nieces and nephews getting older feeling left out, wondering when my time would come. I was about a week late when I took my first test and it was negative. Then not long after I felt that cramping feeling and was like oh well it’s just late again. Then another week went by when my cousins wife whose my only friend out here told me to test again. I actually took the test at her house and it immediately was positive. I was so overwhelmed with emotions I was crying when I told her guess what and showed her the result. Then I called my sister and she was so excited. Went home and told my boyfriend and he was over the moon. So I guess I can backtrack a bit. I was in an abusive relationship/marriage for 8 years. I left my ex husband a few times and the last time that’s when I met my current boyfriend. Something clicked and I knew he was the one I was going to spend my life with. So that’s the short story. We have two dogs, Roscoe and Remi, and a cat, Dodger. We just work then come home and relax. We going bowling every now and then with work friends. As far as how I am feeling… I was so nauseous but the anti nausea medicine saved me and heartburn meds. Exhaustion for sure. Still some cramping every now and then. Drinking tons and tons of water. Sleeping a ton. Even got my doctor to cut my hours only to 9 hour days. That’s been the best. I’m 9 weeks and I’m over the fear of something happening and wondering how I am to get everything done that I need to do to prepare. But we’re excited!

    @ReadyForaB Also have a son who will turn 6 just 2 weeks prior to my due date. Slightly nervous about the age gap.

  • Not sure why my username says that, I changed it lol
  • Introduce yourself: Hi everyone! My name is Lisa. A friend of mine told me about this app when I told her I was pregnant and said it helped her get through alot. This is my first pregnancy.

    Due date?
    June 16th

    How did you find out?
    Nausea and a missed period

    Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?):
    I have been with my boyfriend for about 2 years now. We both weren’t sure if we could have children so we are both very excited. We have a dog named Monty that can definitely sense something is going on. He has always been protective of me but he just will not leave my side right now.

    How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)?
    I seem to have good and bad day with morning sickness. Breasts definitely are tender and growing rapidly! I feel nervous. I feel like I don’t want to get my hopes up until I reach a safer point in the pregnancy. I am beyond happy and excited though.

    Thank you for letting me share!
