My name's Katie, and I am a non-binary first time mommy at just 17. :) I'm lucky to have a loving, supportive partner with a stable job, an
d we are really excited to start a family together!
We want to name our baby Gallifrey Amias if he's a boy (which is what we're hoping for!) and Zephyr Florian for a girl.
We are raising our kids gender-neutrally, with gender-neutral names, clothing, and decor. :3 It's not only thoughtful for their free self-expression, but it's really stylish!!

I seem to have developed a strong addiction to ice. I didn't really think anything of it until now, since I hear it's a common symptom of iron deficiency that a lot of pregnant women have. Should I bother getting iron supplements this late in my pregnancy? I don't mind the addiction, I'm just concerned about what might happen if I try to give birth without enough iron in my system. Could getting iron supplements really help that much?

Hard to believe I'm back on Mom.Life. So sorry to anyone I might have suddenly stopped speaking to. A few people were being rude to me and causing me a lot of stress, so I had to get away. I hope you understand!

I want to get my hair dyed purple, but my partner really wants me to dye it back to my natural brown.
What should I do?
I owe him a lot for the things he's done for me, and I'm so hard to put up with I really don't deserve anything.
But it seems wrong to get my hair colored back to brown if I really don't like it that way, and I'll probably get it dyed purple later on anyway, so I don't see the point.

A little reminder: As it turns out, people on this app CAN be very, very rude and hateful.
I didn't get any hate at all for anything until now. Don't let your guard down completely.
Some people are stupid enough to stress out a pregnant woman to the point of tears.
Thank you for this. You know who you are. You should be ashamed. But thank you for opening my eyes.

This is what I'm wearing to my shower on the 23rd! :D My partner is going to paint my belly, and I'm getting my hair cut and dyed.

Time to sleep. <3 Nighty night, mommies! I hope sleep comes easily for all of you, and you have sweet dreams, and your babies stay calm throughout the night and let mommy sleep.

Took a nice relaxing bath and massaged my boobs and belly, and now baby's turned to his side. He's done this a few times before but I'm anxiously awaiting the day he goes upside down and stays there. He's been upside down countless times but then he turns around again. Probably normal at this stage. I love when he's pushing up on my tummy and I can really feel where he is and pet him a little lol. I love my baby so much. <3 He's coming into a very cuddly, lovey dovey world in a few months.

I'd like to take a second to thank my 19 year old boyfriend for standing by my side, and working his butt off every day to support his baby. Somewhere around 90% of teen fathers leave. I am so glad that I have Zack, and that he's so loyal to me and his child. He's going to be such a fun, loving father. I can't wait to raise a child with him.

JUST realized I need to get a baby book. Dx I've gone my whole pregnancy making lists and planning things out to make sure I don't forget anything.

What else am I forgetting??? Help me out here, time is starting to run short.

I feel like I'm bed-ridden. I can't even stand up for more than a few seconds without feeling faint. I'm drinking water constantly and I've probably had a bit too much sugar. I don't know what's wrong with me. And last night I had a super intense sharp pain in my vagina.... it made me so scared I almost cried.
