@naurpillled @ToriHar45141631 @balqaniya Right? if things are slowing down, go home and go to sleep. This is why I try not to go to the hospital until I cannot sleep or rest through contractions. It means im already near 10cm when I get there and too late for them to bully me.

@ToriHar45141631 @lowerlightburn @balqaniya At home when things slow down we just take naps or play a game! Haha😆

once you’ve watched a healthy second time mom with no previous surgeries have a total uterine rupture & a brain dead baby at birth from being put on high level pitocin, it really opens your eyes to the amount of grooming that has to happen to have people with views like this.
Prufrock@Yulscakes
@Primal_Birth @wrowclif No one calls it “obstetrical violence and sexual assault” unless a crunchy grifter primed them. Postpartum is long, painful and grueling for everyone. PPD/PPA are common complications. Stop lying to women about the reality of childbirth, and they might process the trauma better.

Divorce trades your child’s happiness for your own.
If you are having marital issues, do the hard thing and work them out. Don’t give up. That’s the whole point of marriage and commitment, to not throw in the towel when things get hard. Especially with children involved.
English
@balqaniya @naurpillled Induction is the most likely reason. They don’t like moms to go to 40 weeks anymore
English
@naurpillled Why would a healthy second time mom be put on pitocin in the first place?

@JPBillingsgate @darthcaro x.com/JPBillingsgate… This is what I responded to. And I can tell you that 18 year old me consciously chose to be a poor single mom over a financially secure child free woman. I am not unique. There are millions of me.
J.P. Billingsgate@JPBillingsgate
@darthcaro But you also have them already. The question is about theoretical children.
English
@lowerlightburn @darthcaro But you're debating a point I didn't make. No one is disputing that you and millions of others chose to prioritize having children or that doing so isn't a perfectly legitimate choice.
English
You know what’s also dangerous? Taking a risk by prioritizing your career and putting off marriage and children to possibly not be able to have any when you’re older.
Everything in life is a gamble. We dumb housewives consider this and choose to prioritize different things than you.
Kam@PatsKam
This shouldn’t be glorified. If something happens to her husband, she’s screwed. She will have to start from scratch. I learned from my mother, that having your own education and your own income is SO important. Relying on your partner can be dangerous. 😩
English
@JPBillingsgate @darthcaro Many of us who got married young did so because of those theoretical children. It’s just a difference of priorities and if you don’t prioritize children, you really just won’t understand it.

@darthcaro But you also have them already. The question is about theoretical children.

@wrowclif One thing that would be interesting to have actual data on is how far along all of those stillborn pregnancies were. There were no d&c or pills to help a miscarried baby pass sooner. So it stands to reason that some of what counted as stillborn then, would be miscarried now.
English
@alleycat0592 I had some pretty significant pelvic floor issues after my epidural births that I avoided after my non epidural ones and I think it’s bc I was able to push more efficiently! I don’t care what women choose but there is some* benefit
English
I’ve had it both ways and I never realized how much of the difficulty in recovery is due to epidural
I stood up and walked soon as baby was out last time. Feels way better than bed rotting and shaking when you stand
Plus more controlled pushing

After going through childbirth again I can once again confirm that epidurals are a miracle that instantly transform a very traumatic experience into a calm and peaceful one and it’s such a better way to meet your baby, there’s no purpose to the pain, you’re just having a worse time for no reason
English
@Hestia_Esq I regret getting my degree. Waste of my time. I’ll never get the time back. Hoping it makes sense why I felt I needed to someday.
English
I regret my law degree. It was a bad decision for me considering I wanted to be a mother who stays home with her kids
Frida's Child 🩸@ModesteSirri
i've never seen a girl get a degree and regret it, but everyday tiktok mothers are telling us how procreating was the worst decision they ever made. this is why i don't take the "children are a blessing crowd" seriously. it's such a minority of women who are fulfilled by it.

The other day a salesman came to the house and was super pushy and finally I said, “I’m just a girl and these are man problems.”
They didn’t know what to say after that
Melanie@MelanieSent
I am so sick of having to man handle every single person during this home buying process bc my husband is working during the times they contact us & I want to go back to being a feminine fairy I am sick of needing to use my brain & play 4d chess because they are always pushing me

"I do not believe in a God who would set up rules and commandments only to wait for us to fail so He could punish us. I believe in a Heavenly Father who is loving and caring and who rejoices in our every effort to stand tall and walk toward Him. Even when we stumble."

@realDrTT Also just want to point out that vicarious rituals have been performed in the temple throughout the old testament
English
The main point of Judges is every man did that which right in his own eyes, and they were prone to apostasy.
God never demanded a human sacrifice. Even though Kephthah made a vow and you were supposed to keep them, his vow wasn’t valid because nothing in the old covenant law allowed for sacrificing your kids to God.
But again, he did what he did because everyone did what was right in their own eyes.
I love judges because it reminds me of the days we live in today. We’re no different.
Even more fascinating is later on in 2 Samuel and 1 Kings, when you read about Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the first king of split Israel, who created a new religion and ordained the lowest of the people as ministers and clergy, which became the foundation for the northern kingdom to evacuate disappear.
Thank you for doing this. You’re kind of inspiring me go join you. Not sure I can do it in 10 days… too many responsibilities….
Keep it up!!! 🙏🏽

Day 4 of attempting to read through the Bible in 10 days, and I’m picking up at Judges 12. (I spent too much time on X last night 🫣)
I’d love to hear y’alls thoughts on Jephthah and his daughter in Judges 11. That whole situation always haunted me as a kid.

Where did your Jesus come from before He was born? Is your Jesus a created being, or did He always exist as part of the Godhead? Answer that.
Trevor Tomesh ☕@realDrTT
Okay, so here's the thing. If you're going to say that LDS worships a different Jesus, then you're going to have to explain how there were two Jesus' born in Bethlehem, ministered with the same exact words, were both crucified and died, were both raised from the dead. That, or you have to admit, that we have a different understanding of the same person.

@FreddyLA7 Please take some time to try In n out and report back. You can get your burger animal style. Highly recommend.

@lowerlightburn At least they don’t usually happen simultaneously 😅

This is an underrated fact about parenting. People with kids who sleep truly do not get it.
It’s like having severe nausea for the entire pregnancy. It is not the same experience.
kimberley@kimbxwilson
As a parent of a child who slept amazing as a baby and a baby who is the worst sleeper on earth I can tell you now that if you have a baby who does not sleep you are having a completely different parenting experience. My 2nd has literally solidified I will not have anymore kids.

@Katherine111594 But a 28 year old fifty time mom knows the drill and is prepared
English
@Katherine111594 Yes. It’s a tolerance thing. I also think age of first time mom really makes a difference. It’ll be easier at 20 than 28
English
I feel like all my kids were good sleepers. I had multiple that woke every two hours until they started solids. I had one with colic. I think the sleep debate is more about mom’s capacity than the actual baby.

I'm living the opposite of the meme. I lift for the bros to go "Hey man looking good nice work" and a bunch of women instead go "Is that a hospital receiving blanket?"
