We went over to a church BBQ for the holiday yesterday. We have 2 kids on the spectrum (our 11 year old daughter level 3 and our 4 year old son leveel 2.) We kept our 11 year old at home with my dad, because she hates crowds. My son's Autism is a little less severe than hers, so we took him. Everything was going good, he doesn't mind crowds and was attached to his tablet and me. When they started doing fireworks, he flipped out. I carried him into the house to remove him from the situation. He scratched the back of my neck enough to draw blood, and kicked my pregnancy bump which almost sent me over the edge. My husband helped take over and we just worked as a team, removing him from the issue while putting on his PJ'S and I gave him a melatonin gummy.

I was just wondering if anyone else can relate. I was also wondering what helps or has helped you with these triggers? With our daughter, noises never really bothered her to the point where she became aggressive.

Didn't know how to word the title. Just wanted to say I don't know how he can spend thousands upon thousands of dollars on Disney plastic junk that's going to end up in the landfill someday 🫠. Like I spent close to $300 yesterday just on Toy Story pop corn buckets for my children and including myself, but I felt major guilt all day for not putting the money towards better use. I cried to my husband because I felt so bad.

Hi. I'll be 23wks on Saturday. I got a 3D ultrasound at 20 weeks. I was told today at my 23wk appointment by a MFM specialist that my Placenta is very deep in my Uterus wall. I'll be getting an MRI tomorrow to evaluate how deep it is into the wall. After reading about it more on Google, I feel like this is a death sentence. I'm not trying to be overdramatic. With all of my C-sections I've had complications with losing too much blood, which resulted in getting blood transfusions. I'm fearful of not making it out through this birth.

​

I could use some reassurance and survival stories from other Placenta Accreta women.

I can't believe I'll be 20wks on Saturday 🥲.

I'm pregnant with my 7th, due in mid October. A mother's day argument is now turning into a divorce. I'm sad, devastated, 17 years down the drain. I've decided that I don't want my husband in the delivery room. I'm on edge about my decision, though. I have given birth alone, but not while alert just under general anesthesia. I really have no support. I do have a doula and midwife for this delivery, but I know they're only there for mine and my baby's health. I don't want to overwhelm them and trauma dump my issues. I don't know what to do. My two questions are has anyone else given birth alone before, and is it worth alerting the midwife and doula that my husband is out of the picture.

My husband and I have been married for 17 years. We're expecting our 7th and last child in October. For mother's day this year he of course put little effort into my special day. Instead he gifted his mom a $250 spa gift card. We lost our 6 year old daughter last month due to HLHS, all I wanted for Mother's day was some recognition. When I asked where my gift was, he told me the gift was this pregnancy and I should be grateful for the pregnancy despite him wanting to be done. Which offended me to the core. We had a silent treatment from Sunday to Wednesday then talked things out and he apologized. His words still damaged me severely and I'm at the point where I'm not sure if I want to share the delivery with him. I'm just not sure if it's the hormones that's making me feel like this. AIO? I can take honesty.

EDIT: No I didn't "force him" to create this baby. I was content with our 6 kids, a 7th was in the air, but I was nervous to try again because our delivery with our youngest was pretty traumatic. Plus I suffered severe PPD with our youngest. She had severe colic and wasn't reaching milestones. I hired a midwife and doula at the start of my pregnancy so it'll work out regardless of my decision. We also have custody of my twin brother's 2 year old son, which has caused us enough stress. So this baby wasn't necessarily planned, I didn't maliciously force him into this. When we both should be held responsible. Also would like to add that I'm not staying with him for his money. I grew up in a broken family. I don't want the same thing for our 5 girls and son. I've been really trying to find God in my life and expose my children to religion. Divorce is immoral in my opinion and shouldn't be glamorized. I can barely take care of myself due to having debilitating depression time to time, I don't see myself being a single parent. Our marriage isn't pitch perfect but no ones marriage is if we're being technical.
