Personally: Had I not left a gap, I would’ve ended up rear ended by a big ass truck. I was able to move into the U-turn lane, and watch the horror of that man collide with the coupe in front of me. I was looking back in my rear view and before I knew it he was right there. I literally only had time to cut my wheel and mash the gas. If I would’ve moved any slower or been too close to the car in front of me; I would’ve gotten smooshed. I was pregnant at the time too. Hate that the girl got hit, that was her first car and had only been driving for 7 months.

Congratulations! You’re gonna rock motherhood, it’s so much fun! Welcome to the team!!! With induction it’s really a toss up on when you give birth though. I got induced on a Wednesday and didn’t give birth until Friday; some women came in the same day as me and they had their babies in that Wednesday, it’s a big range. But don’t sweat it either way, baby girl will be the love of your life once she’s here.

Personally I wore oversized hoodies and jackets around that time because I was embarrassed of my changing body. I didn’t want people to stare.

Be so for real. So because it says estimate that means 0? Use your brain here my guy. Every single person on any Government Assistance Program isn’t in need of it, that’s just the bottom line truth. There’s someone in this sub who worked for WIC and stated directly that they saw fraud and abuse every day. If you want to ignore that truth then that’s you, there’s plenty of news coverage on the topic along with articles to read. There’s no denying that if you give the wrong person access then they’ll find a way to take advantage.

They obviously can’t give out a solid number because fraud and abuse continues on each and everyday. And there’s plenty of people still on it that should be so it’s a process.

I have 0 advice…. My baby fever popped up out of nowhere too, and now here I am 28 with a 7 week old! No regrets, but this is very exhausting. I didn’t want kids until my husband and I got married. I sat on that decision for four years before our daughter came, 8 years together total. Just saying, you’re allowed to feel you want children and to eventually have them if you truly want in the end, or remain child free and that’s just as valid; this feeling might pass. But just know you’re going to be fighting inner demons these first few weeks, might make you question why the fuck did you do this. (If you change your mind.)

Ah! Never mind, the bot came through.
