Really thinking about deleting most of the bump updates I have posted, because porn blogs seem to keep finding them which I am not comfortable with. I was on tumblr five years ago posting about my first pregnancy and didn't have this problem. It's a shame.

To be honest.. if more children were shown from birth that they are loved, cared for, and listened no matter their gender we might not have some of the problems we have now.

Today I had two appointments. First, my normal OB appointment, followed by a 3D ultrasound appointment! I was nervous the whole time before I saw my little guy on screen because I was told my son might have a cleft lip. These clearly show that he does not so I was so relieved! But I’m still going to see a specialist once I get the notice in the mail. Look at my precious Leith Ryan ♡ I just love him!

Teach boys about periods
My mother also talked about periods to my brothers.
When I first got mine I had terrible cramps. Crippling cramps. I once was camping with my family and a few of my big brother’s friends when my period came. My cramps were so bad that my mom gave me a full pain killer ( I was 13 and before that she only gave me pills cut in half).
I literally laid down on my parents’ air mattress and cried in pain for an hour before the pill kicked in.
My brothers friend came in to the big tent and I was just curled up and sobbing. Now, I was quite the tomboy and was known to rough house with my brothers and their friends and made sure I wasnt seen as just “a little girl.” So my brother’s friend was confused to see me openly weeping in the fetal position (seriously, these were the worst cramps I have had in my life. My vision went white). He asked what was wrong with me.
My big brother stood up immediately and suggested a nice long hike. During this hike I am sure he had a pretty awkward conversation with his friend explaining menstrual cramps, because when they got back the pain pill had (mostly) kicked in and I was sitting up at a table when my brother’s friend sheepishly asked me if I was feeling better. I said I was better, and he said good.
When we made s'mores that night my brother and his friend kept me well supplied with chocolate.
Making sure sons know as much about periods and menstruation as daughters makes them better brothers, better sons better fathers, and better men. A man that understands a period will not lightly accuse a woman of “being on her period” if the woman is in an argument.
Raise better sons Teach them about normal bodily functions.

Kay. I think I may have caught a tummy bug, same as my son had recently. However, on top of that I've been having Braxton Hicks contractions all day long and I've read that they are supposed to be more uncomfortable than painful but I've been feeling pain. Most of the discomfort has been in my upper abdomen though and last night I had terrible heart burn. I woke up and threw up multiple times. Gerd is no fun. I've been so ill today that I slept the first portion of the day away when I was able to while my son was at school and I didn't turn the TV on not one time until he was home. I ate very little and any time I drink water, I get nauseous and have heart burn again. I know gas and constipation has played it's part in this as well. If things persist, I'm going to urgent care tomorrow. My tummy will tighten and feel crampy and painful and my back is feeling fucked like you wouldn't believe. I've wanted my s/o all day while he was at work ..and though I don't want to be insensitive to his pain.. I do not want to hear it! I feel like he complains more about his discomforts when I'm really going through it. It's annoying and makes me want to punch him.

I have stretch marks.
Reblog if you do too. Just to prove that it is more normal than what people actually think.

If a pregnant lady tells you she’s exhausted, don’t start telling her how tired you are and how rubbish a nights sleep you had. Believe me, pregnancy exhaustion is completely different, and you may not make it out of the conversation alive.

TMI
I am aware that during pregnancy, you’ll go through ups and downs with your sex drive. Some lose the want for sex completely while others crave it immensely. I seem to be experiencing both back to back. I am mostly in the mood when my boyfriend is not home though. When he is, I find it hard to want sex at all or to really even be touched. I don’t quite let him in on those feelings however, but we just go a few days without. Whatever. Tonight though, after my lo fell asleep, I was ready. I initiated it all too, which I thought he would appreciate. I felt horny but I didn’t get as wet as I would have liked, and I was focused on the frustration of that during my giving him oral. Not all that fun, and when I just thought to myself, “to hell with it” and we started doin the do, I came hard...but then I get sensitive and become a bit of a wiggle worm.. and he just stopped.. and I fucking apologized a few times, and idek for what. For cumming before he did? For wiggling? But what made matters worse is that he didn’t even talk back to me. I then “joked” and said, “It’d help if you said something?” which he then goes, “I’m just running out of breath” ... so whatever, I threw him a towel and he lies there with it and falls asleep. Like, really? I feel annoyed and also like wtf? So much for trying that again. I am already struggling with self image as I was before this pregnancy and I just.. don’t want to be feeling the way I am feeling.

28 weeks and 3 days
This week I have been feeling so drained and exhausted. I can definitely FEEL that my body is working extra hard. I am really not doing too much during my days. I’ve given myself more relax time. I’ve had my nose stuck in a book and I’ve indulged in Netflix. Even so. I semi napped today. If you knew me, you’d know how strange that is for me. I hardly sleep ever, I am the ultimate night owl and I have anxiety about sleep. I know that makes the next day come sooner and I have anxiety about how the next day will play out. Really idk what I DON’T have anxiety about.
Another thing, heart burn has made it’s way back up my esophagus and I can’t stand it. It’s rather rude. Also, my upper back is always hurting, and badly. That’s rather rude as well. Oh, and I’m having this burning, kind of stinging feeling at the base of my sternum?? I know baby’s feets reside in my ribs currently and I’m having less and less room, and I’m thinking maybe that’s why. However, RUDE. Lol
My next OB appointment is on the 18th and that same day, I made an appointment to get 3D/4D ultrasound pictures! Quite excited about that!
