Rant

Okay ya’ll I just got to the Chapter about Alcohol. I’ve just read on here about how controversial it is but to be honest the thing that annoyed me the most is what I just read:

“Women who drink a little tend to be better educated than those who abstain”

Now it’s probably the hormones talking but HOW do you conclude this ? Alcohol has never agreed with me and because of chronic illnesses I cannot drink it. Maybe it’s silly but this just got to me lol


so my husband told his mom i was dilated...
so my husband told his mom i was dilated...
Funny

TMI, but also he told his mom so...

so my husband is dumb (i love him so much), and he embarrassed the crap out of me to his mom and her best friend. they were dropping off our 3 year old at our house and we were just outside talking, and they were asking about my pregnancy and if they have checked my dilation and whatever. well, my dear sweet husband (although i told him what it means) does not know what "being dilated" means.

well a few nights before this interaction, he had helped me shave my vagina bc i cant SEE it and my hairs were poking me and it was driving me nuts!!!

so when his MOTHER asked me if i was dilated this absolute buffoon goes "yeah shes dilated" and i was like "no babe, we dont know yet" and he STARTS TO EXPLAIN HOW WHEN HE WAS HELPING ME SHAVE HE LIKE SAW MY LIKE PUSS GASPIN FOR AIR OR SOMN (not what he said but oh my god) and his mom is trying to like "no no no, dilation is on the inside" and we are like trying to get this poor sweet man to STOP TALKING ABT MY VAGINA. >\\\\\<

i was horrified bc wdym my hole was opening 🫩 and you decided to tell your mom about it 🫪
anyway i thought about this for days and i figured some body might get a kick out of it or something.

Need Advice

Hello everyone. I'm a long time reader and now I don't know if I need advise or some comfort. I just lost my baby at 12 weeks and I'm devastated 💔. This baby was waited for a long time, and at this moment I don't know how to react. Do I cry? Do I scream? Do I just put myself in a small ball on my bed and hermit crab myself for the rest of the day? I wanna scream to the universe, but at the same time I just want to cry until theres no more tears.

Thanks in advance for your support and words ❤️
