^^THIS! We bought a house April 2011. Our mortgage was approved on my 23rd bday, and my husband (fiance at the time) wasn't 23 until June. We dragged the mattress off my bed at my parents' house and spent the night in OUR HOUSE the day we closed, and we hadn't even moved half of our stuff yet. The first night, I had to run…

Did I say "looks worse"? No. I said "larger". I was very careful to use neutral language. "Larger than you but in a bikini" is what will help OP deal with the pressure she's feeling, which comes from a social norm that's frankly ridiculous. I've seen women twice my size in bikinis that honestly probably looked better in…

I can't see the pictures because my work computer is blocking them... but was in your situation a couple weeks ago on my honeymoon (5' tall and 145 lbs, but dangit, I'm wearing a bikini on my honeymoon even if it kills me!)... So here's my advice: go for it, nobody cares as much as you do, and PEOPLE WATCH while you're…

I feel ya! I'm 25 and two cats + husband + brother-in-law is plenty! (not that my hormones agree... hormones have been saying BABIES RIGHT THIS SECOND OMG since I was about 12) ...just to clarify that we aren't harboring a deadbeat couchsurfer... the BIL just finished his last "real" semester of college and has student…

@harleydall76 That really sucks. Sounds like time to get a second opinion. I'm a total doctor-shopper... I'll see a different one every appointment until I find one I love (it's such a pain when I see someone different within the same practice and they want to know what went wrong with the first one... and I'm like,…

I haven't birthed, either, but my insertion cramps were far beyond my normal period cramps (and I have bad ones), and were pretty much what I'd imagine labor feels like. The monthy cycle-type cramping I get now is sometimes as bad as normal periods, but lasts for fewer days each month... but usually it's less intense in…

Of course, your body can do that anyway, and does in some ridiculously high percentage of pregnancies.

^^ This, except I'm on my first one still (3 years in) and haven't tried for babies yet. I have "ghost periods" - that's what hubs and I call them. I'll get a little cramping and maybe a bit of light spotting every 4-5 weeks, perhaps a mild version of something else from PMS's bag of tricks... just barely enough that you…

I used to have this problem, and at the time, I chalked it up to having my running shoes tied too tightly. However, I really REALLY did not want to loosen them, because I hate that "loose shoe" feeling, and I wanted them to STAY PUT on my feet as I ran. It's gone away... which I think is just from wear. I think they've…
