I have heard so many stories of OB/GYNs blatantly disrespecting women's wishes that I don't ever want to birth at a hospital.

2018-12-12 11:15:07 UTC  

Imo, they treat pregnancy like a condition to be treated and not a natural process that women have been doing forever

2018-12-12 11:15:29 UTC  

Yeah, I think you're right. That's pretty messed up.

2018-12-12 11:15:47 UTC  

In hindsight, it was like that when my kids were born

2018-12-12 11:16:28 UTC  

My friend's sister had multiple miscarriages. I feel really bad for her because having kids is the one thing she wants more than anything else.

2018-12-12 11:17:09 UTC  

She finally managed to get to 7 months this time though so hopefully it works out.

2018-12-12 11:17:35 UTC  

Once you get past 3 months, the chances of miscarriage decrease dramatically

2018-12-12 11:18:26 UTC  

Miscarriages are heartbreaking 😰

2018-12-12 11:19:30 UTC  

Well I didn't expect to revisit bad memories in the morning lol

2018-12-12 11:19:40 UTC  

Sorry

2018-12-12 11:20:06 UTC  

Lol it's fine. I'm making breakfast atm anyway

2018-12-12 11:20:38 UTC  

I've got to get my husband's lunch ready

2018-12-12 11:21:43 UTC  

Nothing is more awesome than having your lunch ready to go. Hate having to pack my own when I'm in a rush.

2018-12-12 11:23:07 UTC  

Yeah I usually get it ready for him, especially since I'm staying home. I really like doing it. I like making his coffee in the morning too but lately he's been getting up before me

2018-12-12 11:23:42 UTC  

Yeah, generally guys make the coffee, in my experience.

2018-12-12 11:25:06 UTC  

I don't know why but I've made coffee the majority of the time for my wife. Even when I didn't drink coffee. That's when we first started to live together.

2018-12-12 11:33:25 UTC  

That's nice

2018-12-12 11:36:55 UTC  

@Isabella Locke-MT I was a stay at home dad for about 3 years so I was responsible for maintaining the house and kids in order. It's a job that you can't really "clock out"

2018-12-12 11:38:34 UTC  

Yeah that's true. But I think that's true for all parents. Once you have a little baby, there are really no sick days.

2018-12-12 11:39:20 UTC  

Even if you get a babysitter, there will always be the parent-mode in the back of your mind.

2018-12-12 11:39:52 UTC  

Definitely. Wondering if the baby is still okay, etc

2018-12-12 11:40:28 UTC  

Once you have kids, it's hard imagining life without them

2018-12-12 11:40:43 UTC  

They're awesome

2018-12-12 11:42:02 UTC  

I've wanted a baby so bad for about two years. We waited because money, school, etc. Finally I started a daycare job in April working with 2-3 yr olds and I pretty much broke down on my birthday in May and begged to start trying. I got a baby for my birthday 😊

2018-12-12 11:43:13 UTC  

That's really awesome, tbh. I think our(my wife and I) experience was a little less planned

2018-12-12 11:44:14 UTC  

We had our first son about 2 years after we got married.

2018-12-12 11:44:38 UTC  

It will be 3 for us

2018-12-12 11:45:26 UTC  

We've been together 5 years. Got married after 2. Our 3rd anniversary was in November, and our little boy will be born in January-mayyyybe early Feb if he is stubborn

2018-12-12 11:46:35 UTC  

That's really great news. It's uncommon for young adults in this time to get married "early" and have kids

2018-12-12 11:47:05 UTC  

I met my husband at 18 and will be 23 when Henry gets here.

2018-12-12 11:47:11 UTC  

I'm glad we started early

2018-12-12 11:47:56 UTC  

That's about the same as me. Met my wife when I was 19 and she was 17.

2018-12-12 11:49:39 UTC  

I feel like we've completely dominated general lol

2018-12-12 11:50:34 UTC  

Oh lol. Well, I didn't see anyone else posting

2018-12-12 11:51:33 UTC  

But I lurk almost all the time. Never really post anything, so there's that.

2018-12-12 11:52:44 UTC  

Husband is about to leave in 30ish minutes so I will probably go back to sleep for a bit. No use in having a regular sleep schedule right now since I'm about to have a newborn lol

2018-12-12 11:55:29 UTC  

every time I lay down this boy starts rolling around like his imaginary pants are on fire

2018-12-12 11:55:50 UTC  

Because he knows that mom is trying to sleep. Duh.

2018-12-12 11:58:52 UTC  

The midwives said that I'm basically rocking him to sleep when I'm up and moving around, so they get more active when you lay down since the rocking motion goes away

2018-12-12 12:02:09 UTC  

That was my wife's experience since she works as a nurse and on her feet all day

2018-12-12 12:02:31 UTC  

@netgearblackhawk The Ukrainians I grew up up around all get married super early
