    A FTM birth plan thrown to the wind

    @snowtrekker Allll of this! Modern medicine is amazing. Generally speaking, I don’t understand the pressure or intense need to achieve an intervention-free birth.

    Exclusively pumping 3 weeks pp.

    @zoznoz I stopped exclusively pumping around the 3 week mark for this exact reason — I was spending so much time managing my boobs that I couldn’t be a parent or wife or human being. Switching to formula was the best thing for me and my family. Do what’s best for you and yours, whatever that means!

    How else feels like they have it all under control and then next thing you know, it's not going so well?

    @gxh I’m also 4 months PP and feel similarly. I lost it one night a week ago just because of how hard all this shit is when you add it up. Hang in there 💖

    Crying my eyes out over low HCG at 10 DPO. Is this a chemical?

    @josephjurg !!! I went for my first beta at the equivalent of 12 DPO bc went through IVF to conceive. My HCG was 28. Assuming OP at least doubles every 2 days, she’d be around there as well.

    Loss of symptoms

    @parabolas I hope tomorrow brings answers! I had an SCH bleed in early pregnancy (around 6 weeks). I had really intense cramping and a gush of bright red blood with very little blood after. I just put that baby to sleep a few minutes ago!

    I was not expecting taking care of a newborn to be so hard

    @atlanta I’m only 12 weeks in tomorrow, but I honestly expected it to be worse based off the experiences of those around me. I think having such a low bar has helped me genuinely enjoy the newborn phase. I also heavily lean on my support system to watch her once a week during my horse riding...

    @cconversation Both my bestie and I have second degree tears; one of us got an epidural and the other didn’t.

    I’m so jealous of other pregnant women’s relationships

    @stronzo I say this with so much love - this man does not know how to show you the kind of love you need. He is selfish. He only wants to show the kind of love HE needs. He will not change, and in fact, he will probably become even more set in his ways. He should not treat you like a burden; you...

    Endo pregnancy concerns

    @tonypol09 My understanding is that endo only impacts one’s ability to get pregnant/support implantation, not harm existing pregnancies. I went through IVF because of my endo, but there were no other concerns re: my endo after the embryo took. Congratulations!

    Need affirmation

    @saxonity NO YOU ARE NOT A BAD MOM - full stop!!! You did what you needed to do to take care of yourself so you could heal to take care of your child. I chose to end my breastfeeding journey after 17 days because I got gnarly mastitis and the pain was honestly worse than labor and delivery. I...

    F U one liners for more kids

    @mcc873 I also went through IVF to get pregnant, which I’ve been very open about, so I like to make people feel really dumb for asking me if I want more kids. Like, you don’t remember what I just went through to get through this one?? My husband likes to tell people he knows we “can make one...
