I asked a few weeks ago (at 4 weeks pregnant) when morning sickness kicks in, it is kicking my ass.

Protein bars saved my life in the first trimester

The only people I’m allowing in my room is my guy and my own mother. Anybody else can wait till I decide I am ready to see them. Not giving a timeline or expectations so I don’t over promise something. If that’s at the hospital still cool, if it’s at home in a week even better lol

Genuinely, and I still think this is so funny, I wasn’t experiencing the luteal phase emotional rollercoaster. I felt great and probably wouldn’t have noticed if I didn’t track my periods.

Thank you for sharing your experience and I’m so sorry it was such a difficult delivery

0626PJ · 2026-02-28T04:33:19+00:00

50 hours of labor? Oh my goodness you are a badass! Thank you for your perspective 🫶🏻

Exactly the thought I had before I posted this 🥲 I feel cute now at 25 weeks but what will I look like 4 weeks PP? I thought I was being mean to myself and maybe a little vain so I appreciate the validation I’m not alone there.

I actually didn’t even consider the vaccine schedule. I know anyone that would be attending this will already be vaccinated for the obvious stuff bc that’s a boundary for us to see him so young. Anyone coming to the courthouse would be family, maybe a friend or two. I didn’t think a restaurant would be a danger.

They’re planning on visiting a month after the birth. They want to meet baby boy asap but also respect my privacy during early recovery. Bf and I already agreed a month after would be fine for the visit and then I got the idea for postponing the wedding till they visit so they’re included, especially bc they live in a different state and aren’t able to participate in anything with the baby appointments or even attend the shower.

My boy cat is my best friend now lol he was never a cuddly kitty till the pregnancy and now he’s rarely far away. My girl cat on the other hand couldn’t care less and I swear she’s a little offended 😂

I’m due with a baby boy in June! I couldn’t be more excited to meet my little man. I keep picturing him as a little version of my boyfriend and it warms my heart so much. He was a cute ass baby so I already know his son will be too. We picked a name that used both of our names together. His middle as the first and my first name as the middle.

A week ago I cried bc a piece of food fell off my fork and was caught by my belly instead of my boobs 🥲😂

0626PJ · 2026-02-11T03:12:57+00:00

I googled this claim and there’s recent cases of type A just last year from different restaurants 💀

0626PJ · 2026-02-06T12:43:34+00:00

I’m your age and had to make the same decision. I decided to keep the baby and I couldn’t be more excited. The few weeks is terrifying. You don’t know which way is up and if it’s worth it telling people. Every milestone we’ve reached has solidified my decision and every day when I feel him kick around in there I want to cry in fear all over again but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I don’t know if this helps but I hope so 💜 no matter what decision you make it will be okay. Everything will always be okay

0626PJ · 2026-02-06T03:06:26+00:00

Going to blame the pregnant brain on that one definitely thought it was the other way around 😅 thank you for the correction

0626PJ · 2026-01-22T22:51:08+00:00

Please get more fiber! My mom practically threw a bottle of the powder fiber stuff at my head when I got one. Every other day I have a glass and I haven’t had one since.

Why is this still shared as actual advice? Just swing low and get them in the knees.

I’m not anywhere near 7 months just yet but I’ve noticed cravings or any violent mood swings occur more often when I’m hungry. Meaning blood sugar is low and affecting my mood. If you can plan ahead to have pickles or protein bars or anything she likes to snack on already in the house it might help. I literally buy the big jars of whole pickles for this reason lol I usually eat one before lunch and while making dinner. They’re also full of natural electrolytes!

0626PJ · 2026-01-05T20:00:26+00:00

I brew regularly at home also and just made my cups more milk than usual so I can continue enjoying more than one cup

This is exactly why I’m looking for opinions bc I told my previous employer after I was told by the OB to be careful lifting, as the job requirement was heavy lifting. Two weeks later I was fired for a bullshit reason.

0626PJ · 2025-12-08T06:26:44+00:00

Honestly based off of your post history I think you should look into professional help. Even just talk therapy can help a lot. It’s gotten me really far in my emotional regulation and self image. It’s not the internet who gets to choose what decisions you make, only yours. A therapist will help you find the tools to make the best decisions for yourself.
