oh i'm actually not worried about the physical discomforts i might experience...
first thing that comes to my mind everytime i get the preggy scare, is my maturity to raise a kid, then my partner's capability to be around and be supportive, and our financial stability. and all the rest just follow...

Yeah, that was my issue too. I call it the "sacrificial checklist".

Hm, interesting stuff for some odd reason. I need more info about this pregnancy stuff. How is a guy supposed to react to this sort of thing, and what's expected of him? Im just curious because.... Well yah, curious.

Don't go knocking anyone up, ok?

Just kidding.

I think women just expect you to be sympathetic. Their/our bodies are going through a lot of changes, a lot feel some degree of sickness, mood swings come into play, so really all you can do is sympathize and try to help a little if something becomes difficult. I imagine guys will go through a lot mentally with all of the upcoming changes and then seeing the woman change so much and go through a lot of moodiness, it must be hard.

Just some fears here and there, nothing serious. So sympathize? I'm pretty good at that haha . Gotta go test it out now.

[Sisi]

yeah and try to listen to her and understand .
My honey had to listen to me when I have high risk pregnancies and I had to keep telling him to drive slow over the speed bumps, because I carry mine low and high risk of premature labour.

Yeah I know that list of raising them, I planned mine ever since I was a kid myself
Just enjoy being a mom

It ios worrysom sometimes, I need to vaccum more and I freak out everytime I see a small peice of lent on the floor and stuff like that.
Almost was in a car accident once and just balled my eyes out for like 5 mins after I parked of course lolz
makes you want to get out and beat the crap out of the crazy drivers, dont they care that there is a baby in the car?!

[FrenchVanillaNYC]

I'm really dizzy right now, but the problem is I'm not hungry. I'm on medication for 5 days that I just started taking and I think it's doing funny things to me.

^ dizzyness is part of it , alot of woman get dizzy, but Id talk to your DR
always be safe than sorry and sometimes, the DR or a nurse could tell you that everything is fine when you have a feeling its not and you could be right and they could be wronge, it's happened to me, I thought I was in labour and they gave me a swab test to see and said everything looks fine and sent me home, when in fact the test came up possitive and I lost my baby was born at 24 weeks, was in labour all day and bleed in my sleep.

Not to scare you but really be careful and pay attention to your body rite now.

sam goes for some women i know

Nah, I'd rather just not worry. If there's blood or sharp pains or something, then I might worry. Otherwise, I'm just gonna drink some water and lie down.

Mine did. I was surprised.

I think that's the only way I'm going to jump for joy. I'd $hit bricks right now if my g/f got pregnant, I'd have to make a lot of sacrifices. I'd have to get rid of a long list of toys. If I'm married and established, then all's well. What am I doing in this thread anyway lol.

What are you taking?? I just had a 3 dollar bag of doritos

The doc prescribed antibiotics for 5 days for an infection. This is the second day and it's doing some crazy things. There don't seem to be a lot of birth defects associated, but the side effects scare me.


What flavor?

I reaaaally want some doritos now.

Oh, didn't know you had an infection.

I got the late night doritos. Wonder what the last call jalapeno peppers taste like.

It's a minor one. The side effects from the medicine are actually a lot worse than the infection.

Almost time to go home!

How far along are you already? Maternity leave? lol.

[FrenchVanillaNYC]

It's only the 3rd month. The symptoms are supposed to go away soon and most of it is complicated by that medicine (one more pill to take and then I dont have to take em anymore).
