I gave birth 11 days ago, 15 weeks earlier than planned because of severe preeclampsia. My body didn’t quite have the time to go through the more awful parts of pregnancy during the third trimester, but even then, delivery was terrible - got some meds from hell and have a giant-ass C section scar and random pains all…

They were comfortable but man, so unsexy. I was wearing that and white compression tights and would ask my husband how desirable I looked. He was always so kind to reply that I still looked good to him! I know I did not.

I fucked up my ankle yesterday at 10 days postpartum. I never thought it could bend that far. Damn hormones!!

Ughhh this is the grossest picture I’ve seen so far.

Oh I’m sure I covered the bad luck for both of us so I really do hope your pregnancy stays normal!! Hugs

Oh, I love these! Thank you so much.

This is the open post that we have every Saturday, you dumb asshat. You don’t need to care about my baby if you don’t want to. Now get the fuck out of here.

I would appreciate that very much! Her name is Catalina.

Catalina! :)

Catalina :) (we speak Spanish around these parts)

I gave birth last Saturday, when I was only 25 weeks along, because my high blood pressure turned into preeclampsia and then HELLP syndrome in a matter of days. Original plan was to keep me at the hospital for as many weeks as possible before delivery, but my labs turned bad and then worse and doctors think I would…

Yes!

Definitely “The Real Janelle” in it ;)

I read that I can put a playlist together and play it to my growing belly often so the baby will recognize the tunes when she’s born. I put it together but I forget to do it! I don’t know yet if I’ll be able to play anything but it’s got my favourite songs in it and surely it’ll beat hearing the machines in other…

I think he uses baby wipes? He has a stash of those in his bathroom. I wanted to kill him, though. I replied it doesn’t fucking matter because I also buy stuff that I don’t use, from ketchup to, idk, shaving supplies.

I lost my shit about 3 weeks ago over this - I realized I was tired of taking care of all the damn things and boyfriend would only pull his weight when his 4 year old came to visit. He got it sometimes and accepted he could “rest” on me on these things, but then he also said some stupid shit like “I can’t believe…

A guy followed a friend and me when we were visiting Sao Paulo two years ago. I didn’t notice the guy when he followed us into the subway station, but my very smart friend did. We tried losing him and it didn’t work. We managed to tell the guards about it (we speak Spanish natively but getting ourselves understood in…

I hear the copper T can give people heavier periods. If you’re using Mirena then I don’t know.

Try and do shifts - so like 45 minutes of work and then 15 minutes of whatever else you want. I also like to plan my papers and stuff - sections, headings, the general argument and appropriate sources, so when I actually sit down to write it’s all planned in my head. It doesn’t work for everybody but I find it saves…
