Was your sister overly protective and isolated when newly pregnant?

[RoseySarah]

Feel like I'm losing her! She just stays at home all day doing nothing saying she is protecting her baby!

My other sisters were active social, and hiking till Thier due date and she just got pregnant a few weeks ago!

Yes very isolated

Opposite overly social

No change

Less active more food and no exercise

I can't speak to sibs or the like, but I can speak to dog breeding.

A bitch will undergo hormonal changes when they become pregnant, and they may get withdrawn, nest, or have other behaviors in the name of "getting ready" to create a safe environment in which to have their offspring. Their personalities can seemingly change quite a bit as these base/survival instincts and hormones cause them to do things out of character.

However... dog or human, they should continue going for walks/light exercise and healthy eating, or it just makes the birthing process that much more difficult, and the whiplash effect of post-partum hormones more devastating (depression).

She doesn't need to be partying/socializing every week, but she should get out and get fresh air and move.

[RoseySarah]

So agree but she is not moving or making her nest just lazing around

[antelope51]

Sadly, that's on her. You can't make someone do something just because you want it for them. Whether or not it comes from a place of caring is irrelevant. This is her journey, for better or worse.

[RoseySarah]

Yup but I have to hear her whine about it at the gym next year! Getting that baby fat off!

[midnightmoon05]

Any women who says they gain weight from giving birth is a lying.
Women are so exhausted caring for the new born.. feeding every 2-3 hours. Waking up 2 times a night… they naturally snap back within a yr…they need to eat more if they are breast feeding. All 4 women in my family and many I know are back to their normal weight within a yr or so.

I can only speak for myself. I have become more isolated since becoming pregnant. I have pre-existing health issues, and a weak immune system, so call it paranoia if you’d like to but I’m doing what’s best for my own peace of mind and my unborn baby. I’m still in contact with all of my loved ones and friends, and I’m still leaving the house to go to shops or appointments when I need to, I haven’t completely closed myself off to the world. I was already a hermit before pregnancy, so becoming more isolated has not been a significant change.

[RoseySarah]

There is that but you have a few good reasons to. My sister is just paranoid. It worry's me but I'll support her always as she changes

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

My sister got pregnant by a guy she met off the telephone chatline of a hook-up, and my niece was born Aug 2, 2001. She would buy lunch meat and come down the upstairs steps like a raging bull yelling at me and say who is eating all the lunch meat. Yes, my sister is a very greedy person well I guess that answers why she can't keep any man in her life, Well, my niece was born, and the man stayed a little bit with her until this other guy was a former friend of the family and turned out to be a predator, and he is registered for life, and he commented an assault against 2 of his nieces yes very disgusting. He was in jail for 10 years, I totally hate people who do this stuff.

[RoseySarah]

Sorry know some families like this!

Just take your pills and party how ever just stop bringing kids into greedy lives! Get your tubes tied!

So who was the predator the dad?

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

@roseysarah He has no kid that I know of, but his late mom was a nice woman and her brother, George use to date my mom in their younger years of course, the predator guy lost many people who close to him as well as his relatives. Yes, this stuff happens and sad because his nieces were like age 6-8 when this happened. But him and my sister broke up because he was not permitted on public housing and my sister does not want anything to do with him.

[RoseySarah]

Good glad she has him out of her life!

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

@roseysarah You never know anymore, furthermore not only in real life but stay off the telephone chatlines they cause more damage too, she had my niece at age 32.

[RoseySarah]

So does ldr what are not real

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

@roseysarah DNA proved that the telephone chatline guy she hooked-up is my nieces real dad

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Thanks for MHO :)

[NathanDavis]

I know of a few that have done this, but... they had some sort of high-risk pregnancy situations going on so yes... better safe than sorry

[RoseySarah]

One of my friends did it and she had lost a baby before but my sister is fine healthy and no history of complications

[NathanDavis]

the complications could be a few... and different ones too, fatigue and depression are an example...

[Amy10223]

I think you shouldn't compare her to your other siblings and let her do what she wants to. She should exercise, yes, but it's totally up to her. She is most likely very tired at this point and doesn't feel like exercising.

[RoseySarah]

More comparing her to her but yeah she can just be lazy worried paranoid till the baby

[Amy10223]

You can't blame her. Every pregnancy and childbirth is different. Her doctor will let her know if she's doing something wrong. I wouldn't worry too much.

[RoseySarah]

True but I'm her sister it's my job to worry!

[Amy10223]

True.

[midnightmoon05]

My little sister changed completely after she gave birth to her son.
hormaone changes…

try to be supportive of her.

[RoseySarah]

Really how did she change? My sister has always been the independent one and the go getter till now!

[midnightmoon05]

Same. She was a world traveler, fun, easy going.
Once my nephew (her son) was born … she developed anxiety…she became an anxious mom for like 6 months…till her hormone stabilized. She cried easily … she couldn’t sleep. It was very hard on her.
Your sister will continue to change as she goes through her pregnancy.

I had minor changes with my first pregnancy. I only craved for spicy Korean soup. I’m not even Korean.
My second … I slept so much my family thought I was dead at times…I am glad I didn’t have to work when pregnant.
Be supportive for her.
Oh…pregnant women can’t get away with “murder” 😔

[RoseySarah]

Thanks and so true will be supportive and maybe she will be of me too!

[midnightmoon05]

That’s what families are for. Give her my regards. Take care of her/her pregnancy.
It takes a village.

[Yoursweetgirl]

When I got pregnant I remained active, I was working, studying and doing yoga. Everyone is different though. I hope staying indoors all the time won't affect your sister badly.

[RoseySarah]

Same she has always been out going till now. Just worried she will be fine

[MiddleAgedClimbee]

I feel like my two sisters and all my cousins remained just as social as they were prior to being pregnant. We have a very social family

[Anonymous]

Jealous of my girlfriend's. She had mental health issues and forced me into sex with her.

[RoseySarah]

Congrats troll 👏

[Kelly6]

@petitedollbabee

[DizzyDesii]

[RoseySarah]

You so would be an amazing mom! The cool one

[OddBeMe]

Yes she was.

[RoseySarah]

How was she before?

[OddBeMe]

Before I was pregnant? Not even a glimmer.

[RoseySarah]

Before you got pregnant? Not even a glimmer of?

[OddBeMe]

Glimmer of talk. She ignored me as my pregger belly grew. My layabout wife did nothing to help and I asked my wretch of a sis to talk some sense to her. But you women…

[RoseySarah]

Interesting ho emany kids gid you give birth to

[OddBeMe]

We just started our reality show Janice and Kline Make Nine. That was a hard day.
