Cultural appropriation or not

I'm getting married and have always dreamed of wearing a red ball gown. I found a dress I fell in love with in the window of a small local quinceanera shop. I am a white woman. Would it be wrong to buy it for my wedding?

Cultural appropriation would be if you tried to celebrate a quinceanera without any ties to the culture.
But if you liked the dress and were it for your own function, I don’t see why anyone would have a problem

What about the dress says quinceanera other than it’s from a shop that sells dresses for quinceaneras? If it’s a red ball gown, it’s just a red ball gown.

No. It’s a red quince dress for someone who is not going to their quince.

It’s your day. Wear a bin bag if you want. Some Guests will talk sh*t about it, even if it was a wedding fit for a Royal. Wear your dress.

It’s just a dress. Just sold in a Quinceanera shop. Who’s to say that same dress is in another normal dress shop or on Shein lol. Buy it!! Try it on and see it on yourself coz they look a lot different on a mannequin!

Thank you all I just wasn't sure if it would be wrong of me, plus I'd love to buy local instead of at a big chain

i really want another baby

i am merely a few months pp but i want another baby, but i am scared of the age gap (2 under 2) and also with everything going on in the world i just think its not the best idea at the moment but i am having crazy baby fever and miss having a newborn🥹

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!

Boy or girl🩷💙

Any guesses? Having a private scan tomorrow and gender reveal Sunday!! This was an emergency scan today at 16 weeks🤭
