My Top 5 Worst Pregnancy Symptoms

If someone were to tell me I’d be raising a child on my own, I’d probably say “get the hell out of here”. I had it all planned out, I’d finish school, meet the man of my dreams, get married, and then have 3 beautiful children. You know what they say ” when you plan your life, god laughs” because I guess somewhere along the line I must have messed up the plans. Being a single mother isn’t as easy as I thought it would be, my pregnancy was horrible; my pregnancy symptoms kicked my butt out of all these are my top 5.

Sick and Pregnant Morning Sickness

I’m sure most if not every woman who becomes pregnant, has or will experience morning sickness. Now if you know me I’m somewhat dramatic, so if anything happens to me I’m going to enhance it times 10. Well let me tell you there was know enhancing this, I was miserable for the first 15 weeks of my pregnancy, YES! that’s right 15weeks of nausea, diarrhea, and projectile vomiting. I wouldn’t wish those feelings on my worst enemy. I couldn’t eat anything, and the food I could stomach taste bland; like the sensation you get when you burn your tongue and nothing taste the same afterward. I’m sure every woman has asked this question; who the heck called it MORNING SICKNESS? Especially when the morning isn’t the only time you get sick, I had morning sickness, afternoon sickness, and evening sickness. They should just call it always sickness.

ca Cravings

Ha, Ha, Ha, funny story; when I was pregnant I had a craving for potatoes and root beer; I didn’t care what kind of potatoes. It could have been poached, fried, boiled, mashed, just as long as it was potatoes. I didn’t even know it was having cravings until one morning I woke up, and all I could think about was potatoes and root beer ( I don’t even like root beer). It was soo bad that I found myself calling around to restaurants asking them if they had root beer and potatoes. To make a long story short they did have potatoes but not root beer and I found myself crying until my brother called me and told me to come to his job and he would get them for me. Honestly, that’s one pregnancy symptom I could do without because not only will it make you fat but can you imagine how crazy we loo crying because we can’t get food and there’s nothing we can do about it?

hormones Hormones

I’m sure every man can understand me when I say ” dealing with a pregnant woman’s mood swings has to be the scariest time of your lives”. I’m sure my son’s father can vouch for me because I was all over the place I mean literally all over the place. One minute I was crying (I mean listening to sad music, tissue, and trying to eat ice cream sad); then I was pissed and not just slightly pissed. I wanted to literally kill people; at the time my I was dealing with a lot of drama from my son’s father, and we were arguing like cats and dogs (we’re not together now). When I became pregnant it enhanced and I wanted to gift him. I couldn’t stand the site of him like I literally couldn’t and usually, I loved being around him. He thought I was just being mean to him and we would fight about that; he would make up with me and try to kiss me and I would physically gag. That’s right ladies after a while I literally couldn’t kiss him without getting sick. Let’s just say our relationships stayed on the rocks during my pregnancy.

dr Constant Dr. Visit’s

Ladies, if you don’t like going to the Dr’s office now; wait till you get pregnant. I hated it, every time I turned around I was at the Dr’s office; getting probed, stuck, touched and I hated every second of it. I was constantly scared going in there because I didn’t know what to expect, don’t get me wrong I had a great Dr. However, it’s still a Dr. none the less.

sleepy Sleepless Night’s

Honestly I don’t know how my body survived being pregnant, I didn’t get any sleep; no matter how many pillows I had sleep wouldn’t come to me. I use to cry at night because I was so sleep deprived; it got to the point that I had to sleep on the couch sitting upright because that was the only way I could feel comfortable. 

IMG_0785 At the end of the day, he was so worth it and I would do it all over again; if I knew he was the outcome. No, raising him on my own wasn’t something I would’ve expected; but he is a blessing and when you’re given a blessing you don’t ask why? You hold on to it, nurture it and pray that what you’re doing is enough to make it a beautiful member of society.

 

Until next time…

 

A Dangerous Game

Hey guys, have you ever met someone and everything seems to be going perfect, but slowly you’re starting to see red flags? You try to convince yourself that maybe you’re just seeing things, or maybe you’re just so broken from the people before that everything seems like a flag. I have heard this many times, I myself struggle with this constant feeling; it eats you alive and you look at people differently. I wasn’t always like this though, I use to be so optimistic, I use to be alive, I use to be vibrant, I use to see the good in everyone…Naive right? Over the years my heart has hardened, a defense against all the lies, games, and scams. Against the ” I’m here for you baby always and forever”, ” I love you with all my heart”, “I promise to never hurt you”. Let me explain something to you… I don’t know if you know this but, when you use such statements and promises to anyone, there is a chance that they might actually hold you to these promises.

                                               surprise                                                             Surprised right? You may think this is a joke but it’s not, somewhere right now some poor soul is being verbally fed a line of crap. You know what the sad part is? The person feeding them has no intentions on following through with anything they’re saying. It hurts to know people can be so cruel, what’s the point of conversing with me if you have no intentions on following through? Back in the day (before my generation), when you dated someone or took the time to get to know someone the end goal was MARRIAGE. That’s right ladies and gentlemen MARRIAGE. You didn’t serial date people for the heck of it, there were no competitions on seeing who could bag the most women, or who has the highest body count. Now its a load of bull@#$*, now its taken out of context, now when you say the words “I Love You”,  its like saying thank you after a sneeze. The word LOVE used to hold so much worth but has been reduced to mere pleasantries. The problem is, there are far too many people playing games, too many fools who are emotionally unavailable; but instead of battling their demons, they choose to spread the sick disease to the rest of us.

      You’re playing a very dangerous game when you play with the emotions of a person who has been broken so many times. If I go out of my way, to be honest, and tell you that I have been hurt and lied too; why would you even think it was okay to play games with me in the first place. Do you know how hard it is for a person who has trust issues to put it all aside and take a chance with you? The nights we sit up and worry if we’ve made a mistake in letting our guards down? The LEAST you could do is be honest with your intentions. Stop being cowards hiding behind lies and promises when you know you were never going to be shit anyway.

story time

      So, this guy writes me online, of course, my first instinct is to be like ” nah, not going to happen”, but I figured I needed to come out of my comfort zone. This could be something, but if I let my fears take control I might miss out on a blessing; so I decided to write him back. He asked me how I was and proceeded to have a conversation with me, he was a sweet guy never overstepping his boundaries. He would write me every day, some days it was just to see how I was, others were deep conversations about life. I’m a grown woman so I can admit that I am naive, I wanted “love” so bad that I missed all the flags. I missed the fact that we never video chatted, I missed the fact that he never stayed on the phone long, I missed the fact that he only contacted me at certain times of the day. I was so swept up in his sweet words and his amazing appearance, that I didn’t see what was right in front of me. Against my better judgment, I decided to accept his proposal of being in a committed relationship; honestly, I thought it was going to be something magical. However, it was filled with arguments, nights of crying, I worried about where he was? what was he doing? was he being truthful? why does he only contact me at certain times? why does he deflect all of my questions? Most importantly why am I still in this relationship?

      It took me 3 months to answer that question and I finally realized I just wanted to feel wanted by someone. 

crying

     I wanted to feel love, I wanted to feel like I mattered to someone other than my family, I believed every lie he told even though I knew it wasn’t the truth. I made myself stupid just so I could accept the bull he was feeding me, it’s funny what a broken person will do just to feel whole again. Eventually, I got tired of the games and when I got tired of playing I wanted out, but he would continuously feed me the same line on how much I meant to him. Or, tell me I was the most important person in his life. You know what? for the sake of not being alone I almost believed him, but then my brain and heart were like…

stop playing

    So I let it all go, but I have noticed since that day my faith in men has dwindled to almost nonexistent, I don’t trust them anymore. Im, sure there are some good ones left, but after going through what I have, I’m too tired to even fight anymore. I’m too tired to play the game of LOVE. It a very dangerous game to play and people can get seriously hurt, it’s just, not something I’m will deal with any longer. Do I want to love? YES, however, am I willing to turn a blind eye for the sake of having someone in my life, just so he can lie to me and have me out here looking like a damn fool? NO; and to the next guy that thinks he will play with my emotions and stomp on my heart. Be careful when you playing that dangerous games, because unlike me…

not playing

 

Until next time…

 

To: Those waiting for the PERFECT ONE

Let me start by saying this there is no such thing as the PERFECT anything, I don’t care what anyone says if they tell you there is a perfect person its a lie. I’m willing to debate anyone on this subject. So this is for the billions of men and women looking for that Mr/Mrs. perfect.

Waiting for the perfect man To HerDear Ladies,

        There is no such thing as a  perfect man, honestly, think about it this way how many men have you come across in your lifetime? have you not always found something in them that you didn’t like? Maybe this one was too short, too tall, too long down below, not long enough down below, too fat, too muscular, too arrogant, not confident enough, too much of a player, too much of a jerk, too selfish. I mean seriously the list goes on; but that’s the problem sis we have to stop trying to find a man that will treat us like the characters in a Disney movie. They don’t exist, I’m guilty of this as well, I wanted the perfect man; I wanted him to be everything I wanted him to be. I wanted him to know the count of my heartbeat, I wanted him to know when I was happy, sad, scared, hurt when I wasn’t feeling good about myself. I wanted him to be in the kitchen with me every day, I wanted this human to do so many unrealistic things and in reality, with each characteristic, I was adding to my perfect man wish list, I didn’t know I was pushing men away.

           They don’t have time to be magician’s and fulfill all of your dreams, plus be the breadwinner in the family; fight the bullies, be a sex god, and look like Adonis at the same time. That’s just unfair and unrealistic, we can’t expect them to give us validation when we don’t feel good about ourselves. Men love differently then we do, you want him to say ” hey baby, I just wanted to let you know you’re the most beautiful girl in the world and I only have eyes for you. Every time I see you my heart skips a beat. I’m the luckiest man in the world because I have you”. However, he will say “you okay? you need anything? you eat today? be safe, you look cute, I’m here if you need me”. It doesn’t mean he loves you any less, it’s just his way of expressing himself. Men are not feminine they’re not designed to be al mushy. They’re designed to protect, provide, and populate, can we really fault them for being themselves? In the same instance know when a man is playing games with your heart, because they’re designed to gather whether it is things or women. (no offense men), but they’re not the brightest when it comes to communication, so please don’t expect them to read your mind, and don’t fault them if your in an argument and they don’t apologize the exact way you had it in your head, we don’t think the same. 

 

waiting TO HIMDear Men,

        Let’s get a few things straight women come in all different shapes and sizes and it’s very disrespectful for you guy’s to think that women are supposed to look like Kim Kardashian, Rhianna, Beyonce, and any other crazy fantasy you may have. Women are sensitive creatures we are designed to be that way. We are here to nurture, there is no such thing as the perfect woman, you’re never going to find a woman that will have the body of a gymnast after popping out babies. There is no such thing as a woman who will not nag, watch all the sports you like, cook 24/7, not feel insecure at some point, want sex every night. No woman is going to look pretty 24/7, we are not paintings or magazines that are only here for you to stare at that’s unrealistic. Women like attention, you’re not going to find a woman that’s okay with you spending all your time with your guys while we sit in the house and watch chick flicks all day. We are not going to cater to your every whim, at some point you do have to do things for yourself. You’re not going to find a woman who will be totally ok with you sleeping around with multiple women, you’re not going to find a woman who will not expect you to have some form of communication with her.

       You will not find a woman who won’t cry when you hurt her feelings. We are not one of your boys so please stop treating us like so. Be more accepting and top spending so much time with your head in the magazines or staring at models thinking that’s what beauty is and everyone should look like that. No, you’re not going to find a woman ok with you being sarcastic, we do not like when you’re wishy-washy; don’t be all lovey-dovey when it’s just us, then neglect us when you’re around your guys. You’re never going to find a woman who will be okay with letting you play the games all day, never doing chores, and picking up after you 24/7. We are partners not maids. Women love differently, don’t deny us when we try to see how you’re doing, or when we want to do something special for you. Stop telling us lies as if we don’t know you well enough to know when your telling lies its an insult to our intelligence. We like adventure, sometimes you have to be romantic no we don’t expect it 24/7, however, gentlemen we do expect it. By the way, we do still believe in gentlemen and chivalry.

    moral

There is no perfect man/ woman!!!!

Seriously, folks, I’m not making this up, everyone is going to have some type of flaw or come with some type of baggage. However, the key to love is finding what suits YOU, what type of baggage are you okay with? My mother once said, “Charyse, sometimes you have to be a fool for love”. I didn’t understand it at first but I do now, she was saying sometimes you have to be willing to turn a blind eye, not every battle is worth fighting and sometimes its ok to back down from an argument for the sake of saving your relationship. It’s not being dumb it’s being smart enough to know that everyone has faults, the grass isn’t greener on the other side, everything that glitters isn’t gold and all that good stuff.

 

So until next time…

From: Women, To: Men

Hey Guys, so today I wanted to do thing a little different; I had a friend of mine look up 13 questions men have always wanted to ask women. No, every man may not want to know them but for those that did, they will be answered. I have taken the liberty of asking a few women their opinion’s as well as my own, so let’s see what they say. ( FYI) These are all real women with real opinions, answering real questions.

pink ladies

Do you seriously want us to be HONEST with you?   

C: Yes, I seriously want you to be honest with me, I’m a blunt person I will always be honest with you so I expect the same in return. I don’t want a relationship built of lies even if you think it will hurt my feelings.

The1: Yes, Only cut me once don’t deceive me because that will get you roped and dragged behind a truck.

L: Honesty is VERYYYYYYY important. Some guys lie because they do not how the outcome would be. I would prefer/love for any male, to be honest with me regardless if we are in a relationship or not. Most guys lie because they do not want to hurt the female feelings. At this point, a guy has to ask himself, “If the female lied to me how would I feel.”

K: Yes, because I don’t want you to lie to me and then tell me about honest relationships.

N: Yes, we want y’all to be honest with us! Why do y’all think we ask for honesty? We can make the choice to leave or stay off of the truth. With the lie, we’re forced to act off of what we believe to be the truth.

How many dates should a couple go on before moving it to a home setting?             

C: I would say at least 5 or 6 dates just so we can truly get a feel of one another outside of intimacy because in my opinion if I’m in your house and we are vibing sex is bound to happen.                                                                                                                             

The1: 9 or 10 dates, because what if something goes wrong and I want to get rid of you? Then you start acting crazy an I have to shank you on the porch.

L: The number of dates does NOT determine when a couple should move into a home setting. Before moving in with each other, there should be an understanding of stability and consistency.

K: About 3 to 5 dates before you switch it to cooking me dinner in your home.

N: I think the dating thing is up to the couples. Some move faster than others. But, move at your own speed and not how anyone else wants you to move.

How important is the “physical attraction?”                 

C: I would say it moderately important, No I won’t base everything on that because looks fade over time. However, I do have to be attracted to you.

The1: Very important, honestly that’s the first thing you notice about a person and that’s the first thing a man see’s I have to find you attractive.

L: Physical attraction plays a mutual role for me. Everyone is unique in their own way, but honestly, it all depends on what you bring to the table.

K: It is really important, I have to give physical attraction.

N: Physical attraction isn’t all that important. Our physical aspects will change drastically anyway. All that’ll be left is our hearts anyway ❤️🤷🏾‍♀️

Would you date a man with more than one child?         

C: Yes, I would, however, I would counter it with do you want more children? because if he has more than one there is a chance he may not want anymore and I don’t want to be penalized because you have multiple children. The problem isn’t the children but the mother of the children that mess up the relationship. I have a child of my own so I would be a hypocrite if I expected a man to date me with a child and me not date him because he has more than one.

The1: Yes, I would and I have but he needs to be honest about whether or not he wants more kids. Idon’twant baby momma drama because I will Sparta kick your baby momma but treat your children like gold.

L: As of yesterday, I always said to myself that I would never want to date a guy with kids because I refuse to deal with the baby mama drama. No matter what anyone says there will always be baby mama regardless. The child mom may become jealous of me, does not want me touching her child or even wanting to get back the child father. Currently, I would not mind being a step-mom I honestly do not want kids, but that may change.

K: Yes because I love kids.

N: It depends on the situation. I don’t want a man with multiple baby mothers. If he had a wife and it simply didn’t work out, I’d consider it.

Do you expect us to defend you against another guy if you’re wrong?                   

C: Um, hello, Yes I do expect you to defend me even if I’m wrong. We’re supposed to be a unit, meaning if he steps to me your suppose to knock him out and then when we get to the house say ” baby now you know you were wrong for that, right?

The1: Yes, he better what’s the point of you being there if I have to defend myself against a man.

L: right is right, wrong is wrong. Everybody is different and every individual is entitled to their own opinion

K: Of course, because if it gets out of control are you just gonna sit there an not do anything?

N: If I’m wrong, tell me I’m wrong, to the side tho. Don’t have me looking crazy in front of other people lol. Just don’t let anyone disrespect me.

When should we give up on pursuing you?                                                                        C: Honestly, when you think you have done all you can but your still not getting a response then just call it quits. There is no need to destroy your ego thinking you’ve done something wrong and really it’s just the woman.                                                                 L: The answer is NEVER. I feel like that is where most people lose interest in their relationship. Someone or maybe even both parties in the relationship should continue pursuing the way they did at the beginning of the relationship. People get comfortable, but you have to keep chasing each other like you never got one another. One mans’ trash is another mans’ treasure. When the spark is lost, the individual will find that spark somewhere else.

K: You should stop when I just start ignoring you.

N:  I don’t think you should give up on what you really want. Because what’s worth it won’t come easily and what’s easy certainly ain’t worth it.

What is the first thing you notice about a man?                   

C: His eyes and his smile, I’m a sucker for a man with pretty teeth and eyes.

The1: His height, I don’t like short men.

L: The first thing I notice about a MAN is his communication. Communication is key to anything.

K: Their eyes. The first time I see a guy I always look at their eyes first.

N: The first thing I notice about a man is his personality. I don’t like a man that’s too cocky that he thinks the whole world is at his feet. I love a man who knows who he is and what he wants.

Do girl’s find it attractive when men claim to have “lot’s of options?”                   

C: Hell Naw, there is nothing worse than a man that claims he has multiple women, that means I’M one of those options and by no means am I an option to anyone.

The1: No, because if you have all these options why you at my door. how about I optionally smack your face.

L: I do not like it when a men claim to have a lot of options. Having too many options gives so much room for a lot of things to happen. Any man that claims to have many options, is a red flag for me.

K: It depends on what the dude looks like, I mean I can just say I got a lot of options too (but I don’t ).

N: Hell no. Would you?

Do girls honestly like nice guys?                                       

C: Yes, There is nothing better than a man who opens doors for you, Who is respectful, gives you his jacket when your cold. I love nice men.

L: I like nice guys, but WHAT DO YOU BRING TO THE TABLE besides being nice?

K: Yes I do. Nice guys have a great personality.                                                                               N: Yes!! I love the idea of romantic men that treat women like Queens. Absolutely! There should be more nice guys and fewer fuck boys.

How “small” is too small and how “big” is too big?                     

C: Okay let’s be honest if your **** is the same size as your middle finger that’s too small, it also depends on how he works his smaller size. With that being said I don’t want no a man with a big horse penis that will blow my walls away.

The1: Although we don’t want a man with an egg roll for a penis and anaconda isn’t desirable either. If you fall somewhere in the middle we are talking to you, if the man’s stroke is weak and he doesn’t know his count you may need practice.

L: Small is small and big is big. I can not deal with a guy who’s package is big or small. I have experienced with a guy who package was as small as pinky toe and I would NEVER do that again; I could not feel anything. I have also experienced with someone who’s package on soft was literally the length of a Pringles can; that hurt my insides so bad. I prefer someone who is medium but closer on the big side. A good 7/8/9 inches will work for me.                                                                                                                                                       N: Ain’t about the size of the boat, it’s about the motion in the ocean lol.

How can women chat to their friends about their sex lives?   

C: Honestly, I tell my friends certain things I’m not giving a play by play about what went down in the bed between my significant other and I.( Not that I currently have one).

The1: I don’t tell anyone details about my sex life, but I will throw innuendo to my friends about if it was good or bad.

L: I do not converse with others in detail about my sex life. I prefer it to stay with me and that specific person.

N: Simple. Just tell them lil details and not the whole thing. Some might wanna see for themselves smh 🤦🏾‍♀️ 👊🏾 .

Are you willing to opt out a career in order to support us? 

C: It depends on what your career choice is and if it’s realistically attainable.

The1: How about we support each other, what if I make more money am I suppose to just stop and support your dream of going from washing dishes to fries?

L: I will never opt out of my career in order to support “us”. People are so unpredictable no matter if it is your spouse, friend, family or etc. You can know people for years and one day that person switch up on you. I have to make sure at the end of the day that I am good and holding my own down.                                                                   

 K: Yes, because I can always go back and finish my career and you can be there to support me.

N: I’ll do anything necessary to support my man!

Do you think men can be best friends with a woman?             

C: No, Because I feel there will always be this (what if) in the back of his mind because let’s be honest men are created to procreate and if it’s presented they will take it.

The1: No, let’s be honest when a man sees a woman it purely physical; there will always be this ” I wonder” in the back of your mind unless he is gay, not bi.

L: MEN CAN NOT BE BEST FRIEND WITH A WOMAN. Someone is going to say/feel a certain type of way or want to try something no matter. I said what is said and I meant it. *WALKS OUT*

K: Yes, because I feel like a woman is sexist if she only has female friends. There is nothing wrong with having all female friends but having a male friend is ok also.

N: I have a male best friend. But I know me. I wouldn’t try no foolishness. I don’t really trust other women tho. Maybe if I knew her myself, then again, nah lol

out

Well, guys, I hope this sheds some light on the subject.

Until next time….
