I love the tradwives who think they speak for the middle and lower classes when they preach about how all families can feasibly have the mom stay home in today’s economy with the right amount of budgeting, only you find out these tradwives have husbands who pull in six figure incomes, lol. Like okay, Little Miss Rich Girl! Keep cosplaying as a lowly working class all-American family, I guess!

Upon further reflection I have decided that I'm no longer allowing my trauma to steal my joy in big life milestones. The timing may not be what I planned, but I want more kids and I'm so so so excited to welcome another baby into our family. I deserve to let myself feel excited and completely embrace it. Does that mean I'm not scared? Hell no, I'm terrified. Does that mean something bad can't happen? Of course not, I'm not naive. I'm just no longer going to let the fear and anxiety of the "what ifs" control me and keep me from experiencing the joy of pregnancy. If something happens then I will deal with it then, but forcing myself to ignore my feelings won't change the outcome. My twins would want me to embrace this with love, hope and joy, and I know they will be proud of me for pushing myself to do that. I also believe in the depths of my heart that they will do everything they can to keep this baby safe.
This pregnancy is real. It's happening, and I'm so excited about it. My heart is bursting with love for this little nugget. So, keep growing little one. I promise to do everything I can to keep you safe, and you just focus on growing big and strong for me 🥰

18 weeks and I failed my 3 hour glucose tolerance test. I'm not at all surprised, it just sucks to have gestational diabetes this early. Oh well, time to switch up the diet and try to get more exercise in.
Otherwise, pregnancy is going well! 2.5 weeks until we find out gender... I'm so excited to know! I need to figure out if I'm sorting girl clothes to sell or if I'm sorting and cleaning. Either way, it's gonna be a mess.
Bulldozer still has to expose my entire belly to "see" the baby. It's adorable. She'll also try to hand me the doppler randomly. She's gonna be a great big sister right up until she gets mad that she has to share me with the baby.
I'm feeling a little bit of movement from baby. I'll feel a couple little thumps and then nothing for days. Just enough to make me feel like I'm going crazy.

Unraveling Varicocele and Its Effects on Male Fertility
Male Infertility Caused by Varicoceles
Varicocele is a frequently encountered condition that affects the male reproductive system, and it has been associated with male infertility. In this blog post, we will delve into the intricacies of varicocele, exploring its origins, symptoms, and its implications for fertility. Additionally, we will examine the available treatment options and potential strategies to enhance fertility outcomes for individuals grappling with this condition.
Understanding Varicocele
Varicocele is a condition characterized by the enlargement and twisting of the veins within the scrotum. This leads to the accumulation of blood in the veins, resulting in swelling and an elevated temperature in the testicles. Varicocele most commonly occurs on the left side but can also affect both sides of the scrotum.
Causes of Varicocele
The precise cause of varicocele remains not entirely clear, but it is primarily believed to stem from the malfunctioning of the valves within the veins that regulate blood flow. This malfunction leads to blood pooling and vein dilation. Contributing factors to varicocele development may include genetics, hormonal imbalances, and anatomical irregularities.
Symptoms of Varicocele
Varicoceles frequently do not present noticeable symptoms and may go undetected unless identified during a routine physical examination. However, in some instances, individuals may experience the following symptoms:
Swelling or lumps in the scrotum.
Unease or discomfort, especially following extended periods of standing or physical activity.
Testicular atrophy (shrinkage of the affected testicle).
Reduced fertility or difficulty in conceiving.
The Impact of Varicocele on Male Infertility
Varicocele has been linked to male infertility due to its potential disruption of normal testicular function. The increased blood flow and elevated temperature associated with varicoceles can impede sperm production and quality. This can lead to a reduced sperm count, decreased sperm motility, and abnormal sperm morphology. Furthermore, varicocele infertility treatment can also contribute to oxidative stress and hormonal imbalances, further influencing fertility.
Treatment Options for Varicocele
If varicocele is causing infertility issues or discomfort, several treatment options are available, including:
Surgical Correction: During this process, a surgeon ties off or obstructs the impacted veins, rerouting blood circulation to healthier veins.
Embolization: A minimally invasive method involving the insertion of a catheter into the affected veins, followed by the use of a small coil or solution to halt the blood flow.
Assisted Reproductive Procedures: If treatment for varicocele fails to restore fertility, one can explore assisted reproductive techniques such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).
Enhancing Fertility Outcomes
In addition to medical interventions, certain lifestyle changes may contribute to improved fertility outcomes for individuals with varicocele. These include:
Maintaining a healthy weight.
Avoiding excessive heat exposure (e.g., hot tubs, saunas).
Managing stress levels.
Eating a well-rounded diet abundant in antioxidants and nutrients that support sperm health.
Engaging in regular exercise of moderate intensity.
Conclusion
Varicocele is a common condition that can significantly influence male fertility. If you suspect you may have varicocele infertility symptoms or are encountering fertility issues, it is vital to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and a discussion of varicocele infertility treatment options. With appropriate medical intervention, lifestyle adjustments, and, when necessary, assisted reproductive techniques, individuals with varicocele can achieve successful outcomes in their journey toward parenthood.

My Ectopic Pregnancy Story
Tw: pregnancy loss, trauma
Today, August 1, is Ectopic Pregnancy Awareness Day. I haven’t told my story, but I know many of you who read my posts in October 2021, were astute enough to figure out something wasn’t right, or had your own miscarriages, or knew those who had and were able to guess at what I meant. I know many of you have secretly experienced pregnancy losses and haven’t known how to…

König baby trapping his online girlfriend on their first meeting in person.
Now, it's not like you wanted to fuck him on your first real date.
You're a good girl who knows about the rule of three dates and how to not be a slut on the internet - and in real life, kinda, too. You aren't entirely sure what the policy is if you already had at least ten dates in various games and video chats where you already saw his dick more times than his face. It should count, right? You're not a slut, you're just...a bit assertive. Maybe not that confident. Definitely really, really into him and you wanted to meet for the longest time, but just didn't had time and everything felt so weird at first, so you just began to...
He is just so tall in real life, you feel weird even looking at him.
He is cooler than he was describing himself before - for starters, he really is huge. Gigantic. Muscular and bear-like, it didn't surprise anyone when you basically jumped on top of him in the first few hours of finally seeing him in person. No one could blame you - he is handsome, rough, and kinda extreme. You finally saw the guy who was showering you in money for the past few days and, really, you don't want to miss out on anything from that experience. You need him carnally, and your lack of dating experience allowed him to go past your alarms when he asked if you really wanted to use the condom.
He said it's really hard to achieve orgasm while wearing something as restricting. He said he doesn't really like the feeling of rubber on his cock, and that he is way too big for this. Honestly, his cock does look a tad too big for a condom. You weren't on any pills, but he said it's fine - there is not a chance you'd get pregnant from just one time. He is sure he is like 80% infertile from the service chemicals. He will pull out. Buy you a morning-after pill just in case.
The feeling of his cock filling you up with cum is just too much to bear, to be completely honest. You wouldn't exchange it for anything - you love it way too much. Want him to cover you up completely, to take you with him...little did you know that it's literally his plan.
When you text him in panic, saying something about missing your periods and asking about the possibility of pregnancy, he would just tell you he is totally fine with being a father. Was preparing his whole life for this. Already bought you a ring and started working on a nursery in his house...oh, you're moving in with him, by the way.
