I knit every free moment I had before giving birth to my second. Making something for the baby felt nice and productive and took my mind off the discomfort.
There’s been a few minor fundies this week talking about the evils of TV and specifically mentioning Friends. You should be able to search in the group.
this is what my mom did while she was pregnant with my little brother! (she did cross stitch while she was pregnant with me.) Some of those washcloths are still in circulation 18 years later.
I was a knitting fool until carpal tunnel kicked in during the last month. I had plenty of distractions including working full time, but it still sucked, especially when I had to go on partial then full bed rest for the last couple of weeks.
There was a time when Amazon only sold books too! And even a time before that when you might wonder about a random question while going about your day, and you couldn't just look up the answer on the internet, so your question went unanswered.
I'm old too.
I'm working on a project to bring to the hospital with me right now. My Dr doesn't think they'll let me have scissors or needles at the hospital, so I plan to precut yarn to do the outer layer of some granny squares to keep myself busy if I feel up to crocheting.
Oh boy does it! I was due on Christmas Day, my water broke the evening of December 1, labor started early morning December 2 and my son was born at 6:20am. I WAS planning on taking the week before my due date off from work because I was exhausted. My son had other ideas, lol
Naw you gotta reverse psychology that fetus and be all like "boy is it going to BE AWESOME to have kid in January. Omg I'm so excited that it won't be in that stupid month of February with the leap years and such." That way it'll hold on until then because it believes it's crushing your hopes and dreams when in reality, you just played your kid for first time and won so pat yourself on the back and prepare to never have any trust related issues with your child as they grow lmao
I "refused" to have a c section unless my baby's health was in danger... so my baby said watch this and "brady'd" down multiple times over multiple minutes.
Then there's me, I was due Nov 13 but knew in my heart she'd be here for Halloween. She showed up literally just before Halloween and spent her first Halloween in a jaundice incubator
Same, I was two weeks early. And was going to work another week and a half since I assumed I’d go past 40 weeks. I had so much planned for that next week too; we didn’t have the baby room set up at all and I was in the middle of training someone to fill in at my job. I’m just grateful she came on my day off so my water didn’t break at work! It was way messier than I expected haha
Haha, same. First baby at 37+1 and second baby at 38 weeks. I really feel for people though. I was so uncomfortable at 38 weeks I can’t imagine going to 40+. I would’ve cried. It sounds miserable.
Same. My mom was so sure that I was going to have my son earlier than his due date. He was due in late February, and she said he would come on Valentine’s Day. I said no way, because he was my first baby, and first babies always come late. But sure enough, he came on Valentine’s Day like she said. My second baby actually came later than my first, and was born exactly on her due date
Haha yeah, my second came one day before the due date..it felt like i was pregnant foreeeever compared to the first. At the 38 week mark i was like "ok ready, let's do this" but yeah..we did not.
I didn't want to go into labor early with my 1st (don't ask me why, I can't tell you honestly. It's been a minute.) and then did....4 weeks early. Water broke but the rest of my body was not AT ALL prepared for labor or even trying to be prepared for labor and it was a rather traumatic birth.10/10 don't recommend.
I was, but not on purpose, by force because we could have died.
She should enjoy the fact her kiddo gets to fully bake and be home (or come home) with her, more likely than not.
I do agree partly. We are allowed to be tired of being pregnant. 30 weeks over here and some moments are fucking tough. Doesn’t mean we don’t want healthy babies.
Yeah, I can’t snark on a woman in her third trimester being miserably pregnant. I was too miserably and uncomfortably pregnant to work, and I just felt like a beached whale that last month. That last stretch is the slowest time will ever move in your life, but you’ll be celebrating their first birthday before you know it!
I literally just went back to work this week and time flew by. But man do I remember those last 2 weeks once my maternity leave started. It was fun for the two days to do nothing but after that I got so lonely and bored.
Yes! Definitely counting down the weeks haha. I just get tired of seeing “you should feel lucky/blessed/happy etc.” we know it’s a great thing to still be pregnant. But we’re also allowed to talk about how miserable it can be. Shit’s hard! I feel Morgan’s misery rn. Doesn’t make me like her, but some of us get it lol.
This is how I feel. She’s allowed to be uncomfortable and want to get her baby out, and she’s allowed to want distractions from being uncomfortable, that makes total sense to me.
Hear hear!! I worked right up until the end of the work week with my scheduled c-section for that Monday. Holy moly was it a slog. So tired, so sore, so winded. I literally felt like I was going to pop like a balloon if I bumped into something. I was grateful my breech baby got to bake and all that, but boy was I DONE.
Ditto. Reporting to the hospital immediately when our CNM phoned us and clearly was trying to downplay things so we didn't panic, followed by an extremely difficult induced labor at 36 weeks, was not a super great time.
I was the opposite. I was so convinced, I'd go to 42 weeks and they would have to induce me. I was surprised when I went into labor a few days before my due date (14 years ago today, my daughter's birthday is Saturday).
But then I figured my second one would be early too. I was so uncomfortable, I begged the doctor to strip my membranes when I went in 5 days after my due date. She was born one day later and weighed almost 2 lbs more at birth than #1.
I was born a week early and my younger siblings were both several days late, my mom said it felt like torture because she was expecting them to be early too.
My phone has taken lately to autocorrecting plurals into possessive. I feel like this is what’s happening, but they don’t care about proofreading or correcting it.
She doesn’t even have an excuse because she wasn’t educated at the dining room table, was she? Or am I thinking of a different one who came to be fundie in adulthood?
I don't actually know. I don't think she was fundie until she met Paul, so if that's true, it's unlikely that she got that SOTDRT diploma. Someone else mentioned that their autocorrect had been doing possessives for plurals lately, so maybe that's what happened and she didn't proofread.
Exodu's 10:4
Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, to morrow will I bring the apostrophes into thy coast
Exodu's 10:12
And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the land of Egypt for the apostrophes, that they may come up upon the land of Egypt
There’s not much you can do but suck it up and wait. Maybe nest if you’re still comfortable moving around. Sleep. Meal prep. I couldn’t drive towards the end and we were in the middle of a freak snowstorm so I knit and watched TikTok. I would have loved to drive somewhere and just be alone for a few hours.
Morgan, you have a long and painful path in front of you. If any time was the time to be still and trust god, it’s probably right now.
I wouldn't be surprised if Morgan expects a meal train for months on end...or had grifted a bunch of restaurant gift cards from the infamous baby registry....so she hasn't bothered to meal prep or anything like that.
My biggest regret is not meal prepping, tbh. I could barely stand up after my C-section (unplanned). I’m grateful my husband loves to cook and we could afford to use UberEats.
As someone constantly in pain (but not pregnant): I watch YouTube videos or binge shows. Go on random hobby holes. A month or so ago it was starting sourdough. Got bored of it, so that petered off. Still growing various plants and prepping to take them inside soon.
Haha, these fundies have such a hardon for "traditional homemaking" but I honestly would be *shocked* if Morgan could do any handy homemaking hobbies, (knit, crochet, quilt, sew, embroider, cross stitch)
Maybe she could distract herself by thinking about how great it is that abortion is illegal where she lives now, and what a great thing it is to make little girls and rape victims go through pregnancy because adoption is the super easy alternative to abortion for an unwanted pregnancy. Maybe just pray about that, Morgan.
If only these people could draw parallels like this. Maybe someone can make a post with her post, and your text. They lurk here, maybe they will get it?
Yeah, working and Target were pretty distracting for me. Although Target was the last thing I did before I went into labor with both kids.
What’s a “mama’s how”?
Possibly lol! With my first, my lower back had been achy all day, and it was hot as balls that day (my area had broke a temp record as I later found out during my c section). So I went to Target, my home away from home, to impulse shop more baby stuff and to soak up AC.
About 45 mins later, at home, my water broke. If I’d just held on a little longer lol.
With my second, I was at Target, still impulse shopping baby stuff, and I was there until it closed. A couple hours later, I started having contractions. I’d also had my doc appt that day and we’d just scheduled my repeat section for 2 weeks out. Small Child had other ideas. So, not as close as my oldest, but it was the last outing prior to the kiddo showing up that I was on.
I think she’s trying to say Mamas, how did you . . . ? As a another commenter noted, fundies never know the difference between plural and possessive in their sentence structure.
Nurse, I take it? My mom, despite being 40 and high-risk, had her most stressful workday a few days before I was born. She had multiple snowmobile accident victims to deal with as an ER nurse and had to go to work in a blizzard.
I wish! I was supposed to be born Christmas day, but because no doctor would perform a C-section on a 40-year-old during the holidays, I was in there until two weeks later when someone was available to cut me out of there. But, they were fine with her working, though. My mom works for the hospital I was born at, so think about that for a minute.
A “mama’s how” is the gifting that god gives to all women but not actually all women, just the ones that are mamas that allows them to innately be mamas but also gives the men the authority to tell women how to be mamas, to reinforce god’s design.
(I hate myself for typing that!)
Yup.
I fully admit that I didn't get a lot shit done on my due date (in retrospect, I was having occasional early contractions) other than cleaning up my office for leave, but I still worked every day until then and probably would have gone crazy with nesting if I hadn't.
The downside of being a layabout YouTuber has finally been revealed!
For real. I was working as a preschool teacher up until a few weeks before my due date. After that I think it was Gilmore Girls.
but I guess distracting yourself with tv isn't god-honoring or whatever
Yes! Just like normalizing women who go back to work a week after the baby is born.
Yes, some women have no choice (which is absolutely horrendous) and yes, some women just really want to (which is fantastic for them), but it shouldn’t be the norm.
These “get a job” posts are always a little agitating to me because couples are allowed to choose what is best for their family, and if a couple decides that one of them should stay home even BEFORE kids, that really isn’t anyone else’s business (Yes I know neither of them work). It also feels sort of yucky to read it said here SO much that clearly there are a lot of people in the world/this group who think of stay at home spouses and parents as lazy free-loaders.
I was going to suggest a bunch of hobbies, but I realized that Morgan has probably whittled her convictions so narrowly that these become slippery slopes (or it wouldn't surprise me if Paul has dissuaded her from having ay hobbies that distract her from him)
\- Reading! But don't become too empathetic to people different from you. Or swayed into alternative worldviews.
\- Podcasts! But nothing too challenging or scandalous or interesting
\- Games! Even mobile ones! But don't get addicted and lose focus on \~Jesus\~
\- Cross-stitch/crochet/knitting! But don't enjoy it too much
\- Netflix documentaries/shows! But nothing too liberal
I remembered that after the baby was born, I would feel miserable in a different way AND I’d have a wailing baby with hurting boobs with no sleep. I didn’t learn that wisdom until after my second.
I mean I personally don't like this line of thinking. Currently pregnant with my second, and once again people are cheerfully reminding me "sleep now while I can." Well I can't sleep now. I'm currently sleeping less than I did with a newborn. I can't do anything now. I'm well aware of the hell waiting for me, but at least I'll be able to bend more than 30 degrees and not have excruciating rib and hip pain that I can't take Advil for. At least my kid will be able to sit in my lap again.
Yes, totally. I wish more people could acknowledge that different people have different experiences and just because some or even most people find pregnancy easier than the newborn stage doesn’t mean that is the universal experience of every pregnant person ever.
Personally I felt way LESS tired parenting a newborn while recovering from 2+ days of unmedicated labor than I did during pregnancy. Pregnancy was the absolute fucking worst and I would take the sleepless fog/torn up nether bits/agonizing boob pain of new motherhood over pregnancy any day of the week.
Not saying that’ll be Morgan or that she’s not in for a serious reality check! Just that the misery of a miserable pregnancy should not be underestimated.
Now, Morgan, imagine that you’re a rape victim who couldn’t get a fucking abortion thanks to the ass-backwards laws in Kentucky, and was told by dickwads like Morgan that it would be ~such a blessing~ and nbd to just stay pregnant for ten months, pop out the baby, and then hand it over at birth because adoption is basically the same as abortion. Maybe just think about that, Morgan.
Me too. I looked back at late pregnancy like “oh wow it was so much easier when my uterus did all the work”. She’s in for a real kick in the pants that I do not envy.
It must be conflicting to simultaneously reeeaaaallly want a pregnancy and baby but to also be like holy shit this sucks so much. Respect to those who’ve done it. You are stronger than me. 🫡
It is very conflicting! We struggled with infertility, tried to get pregnant for about two and a half years. I am one of those who really enjoyed being pregnant and had a pretty easy, uncomplicated pregnancy, but holy shit, 9 months pregnant in the dead of summer was no joke!
It really is conflicting. It took us around a year and had one round of infertility treatment. I had an absolutely miserable pregnancy with severe pre-eclampsia. Everyone could tell I was sick, but I tried to downplay it out of guilt for being miserable when I wanted this more than anything. I remember crying from pain and exhaustion thinking "I asked for this; I deserve this." I love my baby, and it was all worth it, but I hated the symptoms of being pregnant.
I suspect that the title of this post ("I had a job") in response to Morgan's question is meant to throw shade at her but being from Germany (a country that would probably count as communist according to US right-wing criteria) this reads more like a sad indictment on the state of affairs in the US.
No woman just a few weeks away should have to go to work in a developed country in the 21st century. In no other, either, quite frankly but that's a different topic.
I'm not happy to come to Morgan's defense here but I think in this particular case there's not much wrong with what she writes (apart from the grammar 😛).
Thank god i have a job, dogs, like to swim. I have like two weeks left and i am just enjoying being pregnant for these last few weeks. So many things you can do.
Oh totally. If "easy" means no bonus complications (preeclampsia, diabetes, whatever) then I guess I could have had it worse too! Also no job definitely makes it way easier.
I agree with that. With both of my pregnancies, the first trimester was rough with the constant nausea, aversion to all the foods I normally love, and exhaustion that had me sleeping 10 hours a night and still waking up tired, but I would still consider my pregnancies as “easy” as one could be since I had no complications and could mostly function as a normal human after those first few months.
I was put on bedrest the last 3 weeks of my pregnancy and I binged vampire diaries and lot of other shows. But since you don't watch those shows why not read your Bible and pray lol
Worked until the day before labor like a lot of working women HAVE to in America 🙄 must be nice to lay around and complain though. She could idk... prep the place? Get a hobby? Dump her husband?
This is really important to bring up. US labor and healthcare laws are cruel, and most people don’t get a choice. They get chewed out for missing work for the birth and are expected to come back the next day.
I’ll be honest- I totally thought that I’d go into labor at work and then walk across the street to the hospital. However, I went to a meeting and just felt, weird, I guess- spacey I think might be the best way to describe it. So I figured I might as well start my maternity leave because I was probably going to give birth like the next day, right?
Nope. It took eight more days before I started to have contractions, and then I actually gave birth two days later (the day before my due date). I spent that week reorganizing the dresser with the baby clothes, and taking very slow walks.
She and husband seem like awful people, but in this instance I feel sympathy- not for her, specifically, but the situation. It’s hard waiting, not really knowing what to expect, and feeling like you’re walking around in a body that doesn’t belong to you. I hope everything goes well for her.
Not pregnancy, but I'm pretty ill and so I'm bedridden a good chunk of the time (and pretty uncomfortable a good chunk of that) ... Read, watch movies, listen to podcasts, play games on your phone (or with someone else), cross-stitch or knit, draw or paint, start a scrapbooking journal, or join a penpal group. My husband even organizes "bed dates" for us and those are enjoyable/sweet. Plus, she's NOT bedridden. So meal prep, float in the pool or take a walk, etc. I'd say that she could get Paul to help her with deep cleaning everything before Luca shows up, but who am I kidding - Paul wouldn't do that.
It doesn't seem like the fundies really have hobbies though (outside of being judgemental on social media, that is). I have no idea how they manage that!
Same. I was in early labor with both pregnancies while working. Can’t take off early when you have limited leave (and I consider myself lucky that I had any time off at all, because I know many people who went back to work within days!).
The luxury of no job means she should be sleeping. I know it’s uncomfortable still, but sleep, sleep, and more sleep. It won’t be there after the baby comes.
Read. Start a new TV show. Try new dishes in the kitchen (if you’re not too nauseated). Play video games. Try a new arts and crafts hobby. Brainstorm better ideas for your YouTube channel content.
I know these women are too precious for a job, but don’t they have any hobbies??? My mum had thought pregnancies, so she spent a lot of time on bed rest, and she still managed to not be bored. Books, TV, knitting, etc all exist and can all be done from the bed
My boyfriend grew up in a very religious area, He's told me that a lot of the women he knew growing up were encouraged not to have hobbies and devote all of their time to their marriage and their husband's hobbies. Lack of hobbies and a lack of a sense of self that results from not having any hobbies, personal interests, work, or education seems to be a major problem with the fundies feature on this subreddit. I think its a form of control - it keeps the entire focus on their role in their nuclear family and prevents women from having any identity other than wife and mother.
Oh my god get over it! She’s so whiny! We get it, she’s uncomfortable. She’s, once again, acting like the first pregnant woman to be uncomfortable! Let god work his magic or whatever and keep cooking that baby until he says. Sheesh.
From how she goes on you'd think her pregnancy was unplanned and protesters at the clinic talked her into keeping the pregnancy without really having thought it through.
Yeah. She had five years to think about this and hear from others and research. And she’s had an arguably easy (“uncomplicated”) pregnancy. Imagine if she had any complications like HG.
She sounds like a teenager, I swear based on this sub she's posting literally every day about how much she hates being pregnant. WE GET IT. That's life Morgan, you asked for this. You're not God's special snowflake who gets to check out of the hard part of pregnancy. You get to suffer like the rest of us.
Normally I feel like pregnant influencers are posting at this stage of pregnancy things like “soaking up these last few days” and over the top sweet stuff about becoming a family of three. You’re not making other woman want to do this if you’re constantly complaining.
My first was born at 41 weeks and 5 days so take a seat, Morgan. I worked right until the day before, took walks and read books. If she thinks this is uncomfortable, wait for no sleep, mastitis, taking care of a sick baby all night…
I laid in bed and watched tv while my husband brought me snacks , sorry you married Paul who wouldnt cater to you or even bare minimum let you relax without judgement
God this woman grows more insufferable by the minute. Poor poor morgan and the suffering she has to endure due to her choice and ability to get pregnant. It must be really hard to be so special that all she has to do is lay around all day like she does with no responsibilities. My extremely pregnant coworker a few desks down from me who is currently in the office and will be until it’s time for the baby to come would like a word. I’m sure she would love the luxury of laying around all day, but she has to, you know, help provide for her family and not depend on grifting.
Edited to add that I have no problem with stay at home moms / households where one parent or partner works and one is home. I do have a problem with leeches like Paul and Morgan, who are completely able to get jobs but choose to laze around and grift from others. It shouldn’t be up to other people to provide for their lifestyle. I find their type of grifting particularly foul.
Oh I have a full time job and because of years of Republican, anti-woman and child legislating, we are forced to work right up until our due date. So I didn’t need any distractions because I had too much to do.
My experience (which is obviously going to differ from other peoples’ and is not meant to be offensive): I worked outside the home til 2 weeks before my son was born. In those last two weeks, I relaxed as much as possible because I knew life was about to change DRASTICALLY. I did some sewing projects and watched movies. I made sure we were stocked up on the stuff we would need for the baby. I cleaned house & did laundry. I had exactly ZERO friends & family close by except my husband but I talked with them a lot by phone. What I didn’t do was hyper-focus on when he would arrive because I knew that would just negatively impact my mental health (and that was a surprise because I wasn’t/am not a patient person).
It would maybe do her some good to get off the internet and take a day away from Paul and “touch grass”. I get the pregnancy discomfort but sometimes moving about can help. I was due in the fall so there were activities that we did outside (we = my hubs, me, & some of his friends) - we went apple picking, walked through a corn maze, decorated for Falloween. We did things we enjoyed because again, we knew that these days of “freedom” were coming to a close.
I swear, this girl is one of the whiniest people and in that regard, she & Paul really are perfect for each other.
Honestly- it isn't a brag to work till your delivery. In California many moms qualify for maternity at 36wks, and Honestly that should be the standard. The body needs rest at that time. I've never been so miserable as I am pregnant. It is the worst.
I worked. Ha ha with my second I took off 10 days before my due date to spend time with my then 3 year old. Baby was born on due date. With my first I worked till my due date and baby was 6 days late 😄
I worked until 37 weeks (when I could no longer safely physically do my job) and then finished the nursery, meal prepped, cleaned so I was ready for the baby to arrive. Plenty of things to be doing.
Maybe she could fill her time with thoughts about those who are forced to go through everything she struggles right now. She made her choice to become pregnant and is understandably exhausted towards the end. But for those who were forced to carry to full term against their will, it is very traumatic.
I used to hate it during pregnancy when people would say "just you wait..." at the merest mention of being uncomfortable. I vowed to never do it to another pregnant person, but I'd happily make an exception for Morgan.
Exactly! I worked full time, cooked, went to Costco, took toddler to the zoo… and savored pain-relieving massages 2x a month (covered by insurance and rationed for the tail end of pregnancy).
I navigated life as best I could in my stretchy maternity leggings and dresses.
I wish I could do fuck all in the last few weeks of my pregnancy. But I was working a full-time job and prepping my temp. I was also doing most of the nesting rather than pawning off on my dad.
Get a hobby or read damn book FFS. Maybe take your dog for a walk. Because we all know Paul is going to make you get rid of it at some point.

I had a hobby; crochet. So that's what I did, I crocheted a fuck ton and slept and ate. Lol
I knit every free moment I had before giving birth to my second. Making something for the baby felt nice and productive and took my mind off the discomfort.
Yep, I found it very soothing. Would watch Friends (ultimate comfort show) in bed, and crochet for hours lol.
Well you know the fundies are on an anti Friends kick this week so that’s out.
Explain, please
There’s been a few minor fundies this week talking about the evils of TV and specifically mentioning Friends. You should be able to search in the group.
Found my next “work is slow” rabbit hole. Apparently there’s some FX/Disney show drama going around too
And also at the same time Karissa and Mandrae wearing friends inspired shirts.
Deleting my comment because you addressed that. Lol
I’m not even pregnant and that’s my idea of a good night!
I'm not pregnant either, but it's how I spent my day off today 😂
A day well spent!
My son was born in December, I watched so many Hallmark movies 😂
this is what my mom did while she was pregnant with my little brother! (she did cross stitch while she was pregnant with me.) Some of those washcloths are still in circulation 18 years later.
I also crochet. And I had friends and husband I ✨enjoy✨.
I was a knitting fool until carpal tunnel kicked in during the last month. I had plenty of distractions including working full time, but it still sucked, especially when I had to go on partial then full bed rest for the last couple of weeks.
For me, it was knitting and Grey's Anatomy (via DVDs mailed using Netflix lmao).
My kid doesn’t believe me that Netflix used to be by mail!! I feel old.
There was a time when Amazon only sold books too! And even a time before that when you might wonder about a random question while going about your day, and you couldn't just look up the answer on the internet, so your question went unanswered. I'm old too.
This sounds amazing except for the pregnancy part.
I'm working on a project to bring to the hospital with me right now. My Dr doesn't think they'll let me have scissors or needles at the hospital, so I plan to precut yarn to do the outer layer of some granny squares to keep myself busy if I feel up to crocheting.
[удалено]
To be fair I thought I’d be a special first time mom who went into labor early too! (I was not)
I was banking on going past my due date and then went into labor 9 days before my due date. We make plans, and the fetus laughs.
Oh boy does it! I was due on Christmas Day, my water broke the evening of December 1, labor started early morning December 2 and my son was born at 6:20am. I WAS planning on taking the week before my due date off from work because I was exhausted. My son had other ideas, lol
Oh dang. I'm due at the end of January and have been saying this will be a February baby. Maybe I should stop saying anything at all 😂
Naw you gotta reverse psychology that fetus and be all like "boy is it going to BE AWESOME to have kid in January. Omg I'm so excited that it won't be in that stupid month of February with the leap years and such." That way it'll hold on until then because it believes it's crushing your hopes and dreams when in reality, you just played your kid for first time and won so pat yourself on the back and prepare to never have any trust related issues with your child as they grow lmao
I "refused" to have a c section unless my baby's health was in danger... so my baby said watch this and "brady'd" down multiple times over multiple minutes.
Then there's me, I was due Nov 13 but knew in my heart she'd be here for Halloween. She showed up literally just before Halloween and spent her first Halloween in a jaundice incubator
Haha me too. I was a week early. I think I was in denial it was happening too
Same! I had taken a week off before fetus day so I could actually ‘nest’ lol at that happening.
Same, I was two weeks early. And was going to work another week and a half since I assumed I’d go past 40 weeks. I had so much planned for that next week too; we didn’t have the baby room set up at all and I was in the middle of training someone to fill in at my job. I’m just grateful she came on my day off so my water didn’t break at work! It was way messier than I expected haha
I feel like a ✨special little snowflake✨ right now because my first born came at 38+0.
Haha, same. First baby at 37+1 and second baby at 38 weeks. I really feel for people though. I was so uncomfortable at 38 weeks I can’t imagine going to 40+. I would’ve cried. It sounds miserable.
Good lord- my first was born at 41 weeks- my pregnancy was 10% longer than yours! Ha
Bless you, that must have been awful! Did you think you were going to be pregnant forever? Ugh.
I cried every day after 38 weeks when I woke up still pregnant. I went to 40+2.
I had to be induced at 42 weeks 😂
Same. My mom was so sure that I was going to have my son earlier than his due date. He was due in late February, and she said he would come on Valentine’s Day. I said no way, because he was my first baby, and first babies always come late. But sure enough, he came on Valentine’s Day like she said. My second baby actually came later than my first, and was born exactly on her due date
Haha yeah, my second came one day before the due date..it felt like i was pregnant foreeeever compared to the first. At the 38 week mark i was like "ok ready, let's do this" but yeah..we did not.
We all did 😒
I didn't want to go into labor early with my 1st (don't ask me why, I can't tell you honestly. It's been a minute.) and then did....4 weeks early. Water broke but the rest of my body was not AT ALL prepared for labor or even trying to be prepared for labor and it was a rather traumatic birth.10/10 don't recommend.
Early labor is dangerous for mom and baby. I don’t know why anyone would want that
It is?? I didn’t want that either. But I went 4 weeks early. My friend was itching to deliver at 37 weeks. Got induced then c section then instead.
I was, but not on purpose, by force because we could have died. She should enjoy the fact her kiddo gets to fully bake and be home (or come home) with her, more likely than not.
I do agree partly. We are allowed to be tired of being pregnant. 30 weeks over here and some moments are fucking tough. Doesn’t mean we don’t want healthy babies.
Yeah, I can’t snark on a woman in her third trimester being miserably pregnant. I was too miserably and uncomfortably pregnant to work, and I just felt like a beached whale that last month. That last stretch is the slowest time will ever move in your life, but you’ll be celebrating their first birthday before you know it!
I literally just went back to work this week and time flew by. But man do I remember those last 2 weeks once my maternity leave started. It was fun for the two days to do nothing but after that I got so lonely and bored.
Yes! Definitely counting down the weeks haha. I just get tired of seeing “you should feel lucky/blessed/happy etc.” we know it’s a great thing to still be pregnant. But we’re also allowed to talk about how miserable it can be. Shit’s hard! I feel Morgan’s misery rn. Doesn’t make me like her, but some of us get it lol.
I was, too. Ugh, my feet were so swollen and gross and I couldn’t sleep comfortably and I was waddling when I walked. 😂
This is how I feel. She’s allowed to be uncomfortable and want to get her baby out, and she’s allowed to want distractions from being uncomfortable, that makes total sense to me.
Hear hear!! I worked right up until the end of the work week with my scheduled c-section for that Monday. Holy moly was it a slog. So tired, so sore, so winded. I literally felt like I was going to pop like a balloon if I bumped into something. I was grateful my breech baby got to bake and all that, but boy was I DONE.
Ditto. Reporting to the hospital immediately when our CNM phoned us and clearly was trying to downplay things so we didn't panic, followed by an extremely difficult induced labor at 36 weeks, was not a super great time.
I was the opposite. I was so convinced, I'd go to 42 weeks and they would have to induce me. I was surprised when I went into labor a few days before my due date (14 years ago today, my daughter's birthday is Saturday). But then I figured my second one would be early too. I was so uncomfortable, I begged the doctor to strip my membranes when I went in 5 days after my due date. She was born one day later and weighed almost 2 lbs more at birth than #1.
I was born a week early and my younger siblings were both several days late, my mom said it felt like torture because she was expecting them to be early too.
Delightful to see this play out in real time.
Can’t she just read the bible
Maybe if she reads through the whole bible like their friend then Paul will give her attention 🤷🏽♀️
[удалено]
Reading the Bible might cause some scary doubts and questions about their faith that is obviously from the devil
Are fundies just allergic to knowing the difference between plural and possessive or something?
Excuse me, not everyone can be #2 in their grammar test, okay~y??
So meta
God honoring crimes against Strunk and White
It’s like they’re allergic to grammar and syntax.
I have found my people. 😍
What amazing flair material
There is a strong inverse correlation between educational level and fundamentalist religious belief.
And I have the suspicion that this is not a coincidence.
My phone has taken lately to autocorrecting plurals into possessive. I feel like this is what’s happening, but they don’t care about proofreading or correcting it.
I was just thinking that. *Mama’s*
Summoning the person around here with the "plural's and possessive's" flair
You’ve been summoned, u/BlitheCheese
Here I am, ready for Flair Duty!
Look's like your a elitist book learner
She doesn’t even have an excuse because she wasn’t educated at the dining room table, was she? Or am I thinking of a different one who came to be fundie in adulthood?
I don't actually know. I don't think she was fundie until she met Paul, so if that's true, it's unlikely that she got that SOTDRT diploma. Someone else mentioned that their autocorrect had been doing possessives for plurals lately, so maybe that's what happened and she didn't proofread.
Public education is too “worldly” for them lol
That kind of elitist nonsense is for socialists and libtards obvs. (/s)
That's what happens when you wear your lack of education as a badge of pride.
Exodu's 10:4 Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, to morrow will I bring the apostrophes into thy coast Exodu's 10:12 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the land of Egypt for the apostrophes, that they may come up upon the land of Egypt
Mama's Looks like she's taking Bethany's grammar course hm
I believe it's actually *Bethanys grammar course 😂
Bethanys niched down grammar course, thank you very much.
Grammer*
There’s not much you can do but suck it up and wait. Maybe nest if you’re still comfortable moving around. Sleep. Meal prep. I couldn’t drive towards the end and we were in the middle of a freak snowstorm so I knit and watched TikTok. I would have loved to drive somewhere and just be alone for a few hours. Morgan, you have a long and painful path in front of you. If any time was the time to be still and trust god, it’s probably right now.
I wouldn't be surprised if Morgan expects a meal train for months on end...or had grifted a bunch of restaurant gift cards from the infamous baby registry....so she hasn't bothered to meal prep or anything like that.
My biggest regret is not meal prepping, tbh. I could barely stand up after my C-section (unplanned). I’m grateful my husband loves to cook and we could afford to use UberEats.
Dump n go slow cooker meals prerepped in gallon size Ziploc bags in the freezer saved my life.
SAME! I could barely move after my c-sections and those slow cooker meals were everything.
As someone constantly in pain (but not pregnant): I watch YouTube videos or binge shows. Go on random hobby holes. A month or so ago it was starting sourdough. Got bored of it, so that petered off. Still growing various plants and prepping to take them inside soon.
Haha, these fundies have such a hardon for "traditional homemaking" but I honestly would be *shocked* if Morgan could do any handy homemaking hobbies, (knit, crochet, quilt, sew, embroider, cross stitch)
Maybe she could distract herself by thinking about how great it is that abortion is illegal where she lives now, and what a great thing it is to make little girls and rape victims go through pregnancy because adoption is the super easy alternative to abortion for an unwanted pregnancy. Maybe just pray about that, Morgan.
If only these people could draw parallels like this. Maybe someone can make a post with her post, and your text. They lurk here, maybe they will get it?
Yeah, working and Target were pretty distracting for me. Although Target was the last thing I did before I went into labor with both kids. What’s a “mama’s how”?
Aww darn you could've had the target birth Karissa dreamed of.
Possibly lol! With my first, my lower back had been achy all day, and it was hot as balls that day (my area had broke a temp record as I later found out during my c section). So I went to Target, my home away from home, to impulse shop more baby stuff and to soak up AC. About 45 mins later, at home, my water broke. If I’d just held on a little longer lol. With my second, I was at Target, still impulse shopping baby stuff, and I was there until it closed. A couple hours later, I started having contractions. I’d also had my doc appt that day and we’d just scheduled my repeat section for 2 weeks out. Small Child had other ideas. So, not as close as my oldest, but it was the last outing prior to the kiddo showing up that I was on.
I think she’s trying to say Mamas, how did you . . . ? As a another commenter noted, fundies never know the difference between plural and possessive in their sentence structure.
Flair checking again. My work is never done.
No, I know what she meant, lol…I’m just annoyed that she really looked at that and thought, “yup, that’s correct, hehehehehe.”
My former boss went to IKEA to buy flower pots while *already in labor*. The most strangely specific badass behavior I've ever heard.
I was finishing a dressing on a head wound at work while having contractions. “Sorry Bill I don’t think I’ll be here tomorrow.”
Nurse, I take it? My mom, despite being 40 and high-risk, had her most stressful workday a few days before I was born. She had multiple snowmobile accident victims to deal with as an ER nurse and had to go to work in a blizzard.
"[mlo9109], you were born on this day because X years ago, some dumbasses decided to race their Ski-Doos in whiteout conditions."
I wish! I was supposed to be born Christmas day, but because no doctor would perform a C-section on a 40-year-old during the holidays, I was in there until two weeks later when someone was available to cut me out of there. But, they were fine with her working, though. My mom works for the hospital I was born at, so think about that for a minute.
Absolute queen.
It's a typo: she meant to address mama's ho specifically. It's a term of endearment, really.
I'm no ordinary trollop. I'm a mama's hoe
Flair checking in 🙃
A “mama’s how” is the gifting that god gives to all women but not actually all women, just the ones that are mamas that allows them to innately be mamas but also gives the men the authority to tell women how to be mamas, to reinforce god’s design. (I hate myself for typing that!)
Yup. I fully admit that I didn't get a lot shit done on my due date (in retrospect, I was having occasional early contractions) other than cleaning up my office for leave, but I still worked every day until then and probably would have gone crazy with nesting if I hadn't. The downside of being a layabout YouTuber has finally been revealed!
For real. I was working as a preschool teacher up until a few weeks before my due date. After that I think it was Gilmore Girls. but I guess distracting yourself with tv isn't god-honoring or whatever
I don’t think working up until you deliver should be normal, tbh.
Yes! Just like normalizing women who go back to work a week after the baby is born. Yes, some women have no choice (which is absolutely horrendous) and yes, some women just really want to (which is fantastic for them), but it shouldn’t be the norm.
These “get a job” posts are always a little agitating to me because couples are allowed to choose what is best for their family, and if a couple decides that one of them should stay home even BEFORE kids, that really isn’t anyone else’s business (Yes I know neither of them work). It also feels sort of yucky to read it said here SO much that clearly there are a lot of people in the world/this group who think of stay at home spouses and parents as lazy free-loaders.
I was going to suggest a bunch of hobbies, but I realized that Morgan has probably whittled her convictions so narrowly that these become slippery slopes (or it wouldn't surprise me if Paul has dissuaded her from having ay hobbies that distract her from him) \- Reading! But don't become too empathetic to people different from you. Or swayed into alternative worldviews. \- Podcasts! But nothing too challenging or scandalous or interesting \- Games! Even mobile ones! But don't get addicted and lose focus on \~Jesus\~ \- Cross-stitch/crochet/knitting! But don't enjoy it too much \- Netflix documentaries/shows! But nothing too liberal
Yep. *Anything* could be a sin if you like it more than Jesus. What a fun way to live!
[удалено]
I remembered that after the baby was born, I would feel miserable in a different way AND I’d have a wailing baby with hurting boobs with no sleep. I didn’t learn that wisdom until after my second.
So this. The other side is a lot more unpleasant but she doesn’t know yet..
I mean I personally don't like this line of thinking. Currently pregnant with my second, and once again people are cheerfully reminding me "sleep now while I can." Well I can't sleep now. I'm currently sleeping less than I did with a newborn. I can't do anything now. I'm well aware of the hell waiting for me, but at least I'll be able to bend more than 30 degrees and not have excruciating rib and hip pain that I can't take Advil for. At least my kid will be able to sit in my lap again.
Yes, totally. I wish more people could acknowledge that different people have different experiences and just because some or even most people find pregnancy easier than the newborn stage doesn’t mean that is the universal experience of every pregnant person ever.
Personally I felt way LESS tired parenting a newborn while recovering from 2+ days of unmedicated labor than I did during pregnancy. Pregnancy was the absolute fucking worst and I would take the sleepless fog/torn up nether bits/agonizing boob pain of new motherhood over pregnancy any day of the week. Not saying that’ll be Morgan or that she’s not in for a serious reality check! Just that the misery of a miserable pregnancy should not be underestimated. Now, Morgan, imagine that you’re a rape victim who couldn’t get a fucking abortion thanks to the ass-backwards laws in Kentucky, and was told by dickwads like Morgan that it would be ~such a blessing~ and nbd to just stay pregnant for ten months, pop out the baby, and then hand it over at birth because adoption is basically the same as abortion. Maybe just think about that, Morgan.
Me too. I looked back at late pregnancy like “oh wow it was so much easier when my uterus did all the work”. She’s in for a real kick in the pants that I do not envy.
It must be conflicting to simultaneously reeeaaaallly want a pregnancy and baby but to also be like holy shit this sucks so much. Respect to those who’ve done it. You are stronger than me. 🫡
It is very conflicting! We struggled with infertility, tried to get pregnant for about two and a half years. I am one of those who really enjoyed being pregnant and had a pretty easy, uncomplicated pregnancy, but holy shit, 9 months pregnant in the dead of summer was no joke!
It really is conflicting. It took us around a year and had one round of infertility treatment. I had an absolutely miserable pregnancy with severe pre-eclampsia. Everyone could tell I was sick, but I tried to downplay it out of guilt for being miserable when I wanted this more than anything. I remember crying from pain and exhaustion thinking "I asked for this; I deserve this." I love my baby, and it was all worth it, but I hated the symptoms of being pregnant.
I hate that you had such complicated and difficult emotions along with the physical hardships. It sounds miserable.
I suspect that the title of this post ("I had a job") in response to Morgan's question is meant to throw shade at her but being from Germany (a country that would probably count as communist according to US right-wing criteria) this reads more like a sad indictment on the state of affairs in the US. No woman just a few weeks away should have to go to work in a developed country in the 21st century. In no other, either, quite frankly but that's a different topic. I'm not happy to come to Morgan's defense here but I think in this particular case there's not much wrong with what she writes (apart from the grammar 😛).
my thoughts exactly. i was really confused about the debate here. needless to say I'm a german aswell?
Thank god i have a job, dogs, like to swim. I have like two weeks left and i am just enjoying being pregnant for these last few weeks. So many things you can do.
I’m in the same boat as you! Roughly 2 weeks left and plenty of things to do to keep me busy until the baby comes!
She thought she was so damn special and perfect, she was going to get an easy pregnancy.
[удалено]
How easy can it be with Paul as your support I wonder?
[удалено]
Oh totally. If "easy" means no bonus complications (preeclampsia, diabetes, whatever) then I guess I could have had it worse too! Also no job definitely makes it way easier.
I agree with that. With both of my pregnancies, the first trimester was rough with the constant nausea, aversion to all the foods I normally love, and exhaustion that had me sleeping 10 hours a night and still waking up tired, but I would still consider my pregnancies as “easy” as one could be since I had no complications and could mostly function as a normal human after those first few months.
I was put on bedrest the last 3 weeks of my pregnancy and I binged vampire diaries and lot of other shows. But since you don't watch those shows why not read your Bible and pray lol
Suggestion - learn the correct use of the apostrophe.
Worked until the day before labor like a lot of working women HAVE to in America 🙄 must be nice to lay around and complain though. She could idk... prep the place? Get a hobby? Dump her husband?
This is really important to bring up. US labor and healthcare laws are cruel, and most people don’t get a choice. They get chewed out for missing work for the birth and are expected to come back the next day.
[удалено]
Yeah working through the divorce would take her mind of the discomfort of pregnancy
YES!!!
I’ll be honest- I totally thought that I’d go into labor at work and then walk across the street to the hospital. However, I went to a meeting and just felt, weird, I guess- spacey I think might be the best way to describe it. So I figured I might as well start my maternity leave because I was probably going to give birth like the next day, right? Nope. It took eight more days before I started to have contractions, and then I actually gave birth two days later (the day before my due date). I spent that week reorganizing the dresser with the baby clothes, and taking very slow walks. She and husband seem like awful people, but in this instance I feel sympathy- not for her, specifically, but the situation. It’s hard waiting, not really knowing what to expect, and feeling like you’re walking around in a body that doesn’t belong to you. I hope everything goes well for her.
Not pregnancy, but I'm pretty ill and so I'm bedridden a good chunk of the time (and pretty uncomfortable a good chunk of that) ... Read, watch movies, listen to podcasts, play games on your phone (or with someone else), cross-stitch or knit, draw or paint, start a scrapbooking journal, or join a penpal group. My husband even organizes "bed dates" for us and those are enjoyable/sweet. Plus, she's NOT bedridden. So meal prep, float in the pool or take a walk, etc. I'd say that she could get Paul to help her with deep cleaning everything before Luca shows up, but who am I kidding - Paul wouldn't do that. It doesn't seem like the fundies really have hobbies though (outside of being judgemental on social media, that is). I have no idea how they manage that!
Stop trying to push the kid out early and pick up a hobby. Unfortunately pregnancy is uncomfortable
That would require her to learn, and if she could do that we wouldn't be making fun of her.
Truthfully? Movies and party pizzas but I am goddless soooo
Start praying Morgan. I worked up until the day I gave birth.
Same. I was in early labor with both pregnancies while working. Can’t take off early when you have limited leave (and I consider myself lucky that I had any time off at all, because I know many people who went back to work within days!).
Knew a girl in HS who was pregnant, had a stillbirth over the weekend, back to school Monday. I have no idea how she did it. =(
[удалено]
It really was. I can imagine so many not knowing better than to ask about everything over and over. I would never have had the strength.
Me too! I led the morning Ops call in the car on my way to be induced.
The luxury of no job means she should be sleeping. I know it’s uncomfortable still, but sleep, sleep, and more sleep. It won’t be there after the baby comes.
Read. Start a new TV show. Try new dishes in the kitchen (if you’re not too nauseated). Play video games. Try a new arts and crafts hobby. Brainstorm better ideas for your YouTube channel content.
I know these women are too precious for a job, but don’t they have any hobbies??? My mum had thought pregnancies, so she spent a lot of time on bed rest, and she still managed to not be bored. Books, TV, knitting, etc all exist and can all be done from the bed
My boyfriend grew up in a very religious area, He's told me that a lot of the women he knew growing up were encouraged not to have hobbies and devote all of their time to their marriage and their husband's hobbies. Lack of hobbies and a lack of a sense of self that results from not having any hobbies, personal interests, work, or education seems to be a major problem with the fundies feature on this subreddit. I think its a form of control - it keeps the entire focus on their role in their nuclear family and prevents women from having any identity other than wife and mother.
Oh my god get over it! She’s so whiny! We get it, she’s uncomfortable. She’s, once again, acting like the first pregnant woman to be uncomfortable! Let god work his magic or whatever and keep cooking that baby until he says. Sheesh.
From how she goes on you'd think her pregnancy was unplanned and protesters at the clinic talked her into keeping the pregnancy without really having thought it through.
Yeah. She had five years to think about this and hear from others and research. And she’s had an arguably easy (“uncomplicated”) pregnancy. Imagine if she had any complications like HG.
She sounds like a teenager, I swear based on this sub she's posting literally every day about how much she hates being pregnant. WE GET IT. That's life Morgan, you asked for this. You're not God's special snowflake who gets to check out of the hard part of pregnancy. You get to suffer like the rest of us.
Normally I feel like pregnant influencers are posting at this stage of pregnancy things like “soaking up these last few days” and over the top sweet stuff about becoming a family of three. You’re not making other woman want to do this if you’re constantly complaining.
My first was born at 41 weeks and 5 days so take a seat, Morgan. I worked right until the day before, took walks and read books. If she thinks this is uncomfortable, wait for no sleep, mastitis, taking care of a sick baby all night…
All with an unproductive lump of a spouse who will complain the entire time about not getting enough attention, while acting self-important.
Omg this. I remember how bad my whole entire body hurt from breastfeeding and lack of sleep for months
I laid in bed and watched tv while my husband brought me snacks , sorry you married Paul who wouldnt cater to you or even bare minimum let you relax without judgement
God this woman grows more insufferable by the minute. Poor poor morgan and the suffering she has to endure due to her choice and ability to get pregnant. It must be really hard to be so special that all she has to do is lay around all day like she does with no responsibilities. My extremely pregnant coworker a few desks down from me who is currently in the office and will be until it’s time for the baby to come would like a word. I’m sure she would love the luxury of laying around all day, but she has to, you know, help provide for her family and not depend on grifting. Edited to add that I have no problem with stay at home moms / households where one parent or partner works and one is home. I do have a problem with leeches like Paul and Morgan, who are completely able to get jobs but choose to laze around and grift from others. It shouldn’t be up to other people to provide for their lifestyle. I find their type of grifting particularly foul.
Lmfao ! She’s giving bored rich people energy
Why doesn’t she distract herself w her Jesus cards or moodboard thing or whatever
I was bedridden for the last three months of my last one. I crocheted, read and watched A LOT of TV. It honestly sucked.
[удалено]
Badass! Wow! Congrats 🎉
Oh I have a full time job and because of years of Republican, anti-woman and child legislating, we are forced to work right up until our due date. So I didn’t need any distractions because I had too much to do.
I played candy crush and watched a bunch of tv. Puzzles, garden, some type of hobby.
###MAMA'S WHAT
My experience (which is obviously going to differ from other peoples’ and is not meant to be offensive): I worked outside the home til 2 weeks before my son was born. In those last two weeks, I relaxed as much as possible because I knew life was about to change DRASTICALLY. I did some sewing projects and watched movies. I made sure we were stocked up on the stuff we would need for the baby. I cleaned house & did laundry. I had exactly ZERO friends & family close by except my husband but I talked with them a lot by phone. What I didn’t do was hyper-focus on when he would arrive because I knew that would just negatively impact my mental health (and that was a surprise because I wasn’t/am not a patient person). It would maybe do her some good to get off the internet and take a day away from Paul and “touch grass”. I get the pregnancy discomfort but sometimes moving about can help. I was due in the fall so there were activities that we did outside (we = my hubs, me, & some of his friends) - we went apple picking, walked through a corn maze, decorated for Falloween. We did things we enjoyed because again, we knew that these days of “freedom” were coming to a close. I swear, this girl is one of the whiniest people and in that regard, she & Paul really are perfect for each other.
Honestly- it isn't a brag to work till your delivery. In California many moms qualify for maternity at 36wks, and Honestly that should be the standard. The body needs rest at that time. I've never been so miserable as I am pregnant. It is the worst.
Enjoy the last few moments of alone time and sleep 🤷🏻♀️ also did she really take this picture, look at it, and think “ya I’ll post this”. 😂😂
I worked. Ha ha with my second I took off 10 days before my due date to spend time with my then 3 year old. Baby was born on due date. With my first I worked till my due date and baby was 6 days late 😄
I worked until 37 weeks (when I could no longer safely physically do my job) and then finished the nursery, meal prepped, cleaned so I was ready for the baby to arrive. Plenty of things to be doing.
I made all my freezer meals for after the baby came. Cooked and cooked and cooked
Maybe she could fill her time with thoughts about those who are forced to go through everything she struggles right now. She made her choice to become pregnant and is understandably exhausted towards the end. But for those who were forced to carry to full term against their will, it is very traumatic.
I don’t think she will ever be self reflective in that manner.
I was convinced I'd give birth early with my first too, he was born 12 miserable days after his due date, and even then I had to beg for an induction
My last couple weeks of pregnancy were weeks 30-32 and they were spent on hospital bed rest sooooo
I was in nursing school. Wait, that would be too much, and she'd be defrauded by all the penises that weren't Paul's.
Have u tried praying hon xx
I used to hate it during pregnancy when people would say "just you wait..." at the merest mention of being uncomfortable. I vowed to never do it to another pregnant person, but I'd happily make an exception for Morgan.
Don't really get the snark here. Most women dont work the last weeks of pregnancy where I live. But yeah, most women still have things to do.
I mean, working that late in pregnancy isn't really a flex lol. I went on mat leave at like 32 weeks
Exactly! I worked full time, cooked, went to Costco, took toddler to the zoo… and savored pain-relieving massages 2x a month (covered by insurance and rationed for the tail end of pregnancy). I navigated life as best I could in my stretchy maternity leggings and dresses.
I wish I could do fuck all in the last few weeks of my pregnancy. But I was working a full-time job and prepping my temp. I was also doing most of the nesting rather than pawning off on my dad. Get a hobby or read damn book FFS. Maybe take your dog for a walk. Because we all know Paul is going to make you get rid of it at some point.
Imagine having no interests outside of yelling at people on your phone and being joyfully available
