scarlett

Just found out I'm having a boy. My partner and I decided to bless my friend with a baby and I ended up pregnant with my partners first boy 😭😭😭. I honestly don't know how to feel other than happy and sad. #surrogacy #babyboy
Xena
That's so cool you are being a surrogate for someone though ❤️ my friend was going to do the same for me because I kept trying to have my own children and couldn't for almost 3 years. But why are you sad?

because this is my partners first boy. I know he won't admit that he wants to keep the baby but he's sticking by his word and still giving the baby to my friend. I just feel sorry guilty giving this one up even though I'm sticking by my word as well.

He should understand…your body is going through a lot right now. Unfortunately men dgaf. I went through the exact same thing in the beginning of my pregnancy with my bd. I was always sick & didn’t feel good. It caused us to have arguments because I wasn’t inna mood…our bodies go through so much. The last thing a mf got on they mind is sex….
Although the script has flipped now lol ….it’s me that’s always wanting to have sex😩ig it’s too much for him😒

Little vent. So, im 5 days late and keep yielding negative results, pretty sure i had implantation bleeding about 2 days ago. I bought a few more tests today to use throughout the week and my partner said it's just the placebo effect. I got really upset and mad, and now I just want to cry. My partner said all my symptoms are just being amplified by my brain, but I sincerely think I could be pregnant. Now, it's an unexpected pregnancy if I am, and my partner had said that "telling myself it's the placebo effect is the only thing keeping me from stressing out, theres no way you could be pregnant anyways, we used condoms when you went off BC" I just want to hold my stuffed animal and cry, I dont know what to do..
Liana
You’re trying to conceive but using condoms? I’m confused. I understand the placebo effect which would play with your mind.

not ttc, sorry about the confusion! I just never felt these symptoms while pmsing, and im almost a week late so I think I could be pregnant but my partner refuses to see it as a possibility (which it very well can be, my uncle was the result of faulty condoms)

I'm struggling with pregnancy sickness all the time and now off all my mental health meds. My ptsd is hitting me so hard. My mind and body are so against me. And to top it off my partner and I are flipping and apartment and I can't do anything nor have the energy. I can see his disappointment. It makes me feel even lower.
Delaney
Hi, I don't know what kind of mental health meds you were on.. But I do know Sertraline also known as Zoloft is safe to take while you're pregnant.

18 weeks :,) haven’t posted sorry mamas 💜 the most heartwarming feeling is when my partner puts his hand on my belly our baby feels him because she starts kicking and moving. My first pregnancy I went through alone and I was very young too, this one after 12 years I’m experiencing something completely new from cravings to pains and I’m thankful to have my partner to share all this with 💘
