Honestly, it’s starting to get on my nerves a little bit how everyone thinks they know exactly when I’m going to have the baby... I guess it'll be interesting to see who actually guesses right... 🤔

Oh, come on, it's not like you'll be pregnant your whole life.🙂🙂
So, I posted a photo on Facebook today because a coworker hadn't seen me in a while. I wanted her to see me, but then she calls me out and says, 🙏"Hey, your mother-in-law keeps saying you have a huge belly, and I used to think you were shaped like a barrel, but looking at this photo..." Well, I honestly felt like throwing hands. 🙂
My annoying mother-in-law is really getting on my nerves 🙂 She keeps telling people who don't even notice me that I have a huge belly. Like, why do they care? 🙂 It's sooooo annoying! 🙂 🙂
Jerry Bailey47 said:Look, boldridge3, YOU ARE NOT PREGNANT. Honestly, reading through this thread sometimes makes me feel like I’m listening to a group of ten-year-olds asking these kinds of questions. 🙄It’s been far too long since your relationship ended for a test to give you a false positive—plus, you were dealing with your period anyway. There is zero reason to worry.
The worst part is that I’ve actually started yelling it myself: "Just let them be born healthy and strong, please God help us." It honestly makes me want to bash my own head in sometimes. 🙂 It just shows how much older generations can mess with your mental state... 🙂
Oh, please, let the jealous types talk... I honestly feel pretty sexy right now 🥳 But she just had to grab me by the hips to check out "how much extra weight I've put on" What else is there to say?? I even made sure to mention how the lady at Starbucks told me what a gorgeous pregnant woman I am—of course, she was totally speechless 😍
William Booth10 said:And who else gets worked up by the question—did it actually come back to life? 🙂
Not really anyone, 😁 I guess we were all just a bit hyper about it. 😁 Just kidding, it definitely got under my skin before, but the baby has been fine from day one. 🙄
Ugh, just more clueless people making things awkward for me!!!!
Had a dentist appointment today!!!! Seriously, don't believe everything you hear!!!!
I hadn't even sat down in the chair yet before they were like: "Wow, look how much you've grown since last time" (which was only a month ago) I wouldn't be surprised if it was some old guy talking instead of someone in their 30s!!!! 🙂🙂 It wasn't exactly my most comfortable moment 🙂
It doesn't always mean it's a positive. My sister-in-law actually had a negative test early on, so her doctor sent her in for a blood test to check her HCG levels, and turns out she was pregnant all along. If you don't get it before the weekend, maybe just grab a test on Monday? I guess you won't lose much more by spending a little less cash $8.25 than waiting, right? And whether it's a positive or not, you should probably take some steps before your next cycle starts. I definitely had some issues with that myself.
Carl Brown10 said:Hey everyone... I’ve got a bit of a situation on my hands. My cycles are usually pretty irregular, typically running about five to ten days late, but this time I’m staring down a twelve-day delay. I actually took a pregnancy test the other night, but it came back negative, and now I’m sitting here at day fifteen with nothing to show for it. I don't have many obvious symptoms, though there is some mild aching, a strange pressure in my abdomen—almost like someone is sitting on it—and it gets uncomfortable when I have to use the restroom. My breasts feel swollen, though they aren't tender, which is weird because they usually ache right before my period starts. On top of that, I've been dealing with these brutal headaches that even Advil won't touch. We’ve mostly been relying on withdrawal as our method of birth control, so... I guess I'm just looking for any thoughts or advice you might have. Thanks.
If your periods are irregular, there's a good chance you're just running late. Also, the withdrawal method isn't really reliable birth control, I guess. Maybe just take another test so you don't have to stress about it? It's cheap and might save you the headache. And honestly, I'd hold off on the Advil or anything else until you know for sure if you're pregnant or not.

You know how they say when you're pregnant, you start craving sweets and the baby just wants them? I think I read somewhere that it's actually true. Like, in those first little sample packs you get from a pharmacy, if you're craving something, you might as well just dive in. I guess the baby is going to want it anyway, right? 🤣
It’s honestly so frustrating how I just can't seem to stop eating sweets.🙂
I even tell my husband not to buy any candy because I know if it's in the house, I'll end up devouring everything in sight. But he just keeps doing it...😠Every single day when he gets home from work, he brings in a bag of treats "for the little guy."
And let's be real, the kid isn't going to be happy about having to diet later on.🙂 🙂 🙂
Peter Ward45 said:God, my sister is pregnant and honestly, I am basically interrogating her every single day about whether they’ve finally picked a name yet, and I’m just constantly hovering, waiting for any tiny excuse to go grab that belly... I keep teasing her and calling her huge because she looks so ridiculously cute with that little bump out in front of her... but really, it’s just because I am freaking out with excitement and I seriously cannot wait to meet this tiny little human... I really need to chill before I drive everyone crazy 😁
Maybe your sister actually enjoys the attention... you might want to check if she has a username on here just so she doesn't pop up in this thread... 🤣 If it were up to me, I'd have picked a name already... 😂
