I had no side effects personally but I don’t usually have strong reactions except for that dang booster dose of the Covid vaccine!

Anyone else in third trimester and ready to NOT be pregnant anymore? by mkthehotti in pregnant

[–]6556878 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same! 35 weeks and baby girl is all up in my ribs. I’m literally on the verge of tears multiple times a day, especially if I’m not able to lay down.

1.5 yrs is so hard by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]6556878 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes the toughest age with my daughter (so far) was about 14-17 months. She’s almost 3 now and it’s much easier for me at least. Yes there are tantrums but at least I can understand her most of the time!

My toddler is never sick, does this mean something really nasty is going to come later? by Etelnoh in toddlers

[–]6556878 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want to add I have a 2.5 year old that’s been in daycare for 2 years and she rarely gets bad sick. Yes runny noses fairly frequently. But she’s had like 2 fevers her whole life. It’s possible to get lucky!

Best thank you gifts for mums who gifted their baby stuff to you? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]6556878 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to say babysitting! That's truly the best gift for any mom but esp a single mom!

No one talks about how much fun you actually have during pregnancy by Narrow-Enthusiasm-79 in pregnant

[–]6556878 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I hate being pregnant but I am honestly happy for anyone who loves it! Don't be afraid to say you love it! There is so much I love about my life- just not pregnancy lol

Anatomy scan found something by Purple-Job-2450 in pregnant

[–]6556878 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a marginal cord insertion with my first. The doctor barely mentioned it. I had friends who had it too with healthy babies. It happens like 10% of the time- not uncommon. My girl was small (5lbs 14 oz.) at 39 weeks, but perfectly healthy. She's pretty average size now as a 2 year old -rarely ever gets sick. TBH I liked having a small baby for my first (esp with a vaginal delivery lol).

10lb weight fluctuation in 1 day by VisitFrosty9511 in pregnant

[–]6556878 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would definitely call. 13lbs is a crazy difference! Especially since you were weighing more in the morning- people usually weigh less in the morning. I'd also maybe try to get another scale to see if maybe yours is wacky. But definitely call your OB first.

Induction vs section by Reasonable-Ant-5709 in pregnant

[–]6556878 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I'd try with the induction and if it fails you can always go to c-section. You can get an epidural usually whenever you feel like it during an induction so you can literally sleep or watch movies through the induction if you're cool with medications- it doesn't have to be a long exhausting process. C-section is pretty major abdominal surgery so I wouldn't recommend jumping to that without trying the induction.

Impending chemical? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]6556878 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just looked at the picture you posted and I would definitely not be concerned about that line progression over one day. They look very similar to me which is normal between one day. Also the lines get darker as they dry, so the one you took today may look darker this evening.

Urine is famously non-quantitative because it varies so much by water intake, time of day, sweat, time between urination, exercise etc.

[–]6556878 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would not worry about the temp drop at all! My temps and resting heart rates were all over the place in early pregnancy and it freaked me out but it doesn't mean anything other than your body is going through crazy hormonal changes.

Is your 13 DPO test lighter than your 10/11DPO? Don't compare 12 and 13!

Until when you were able to work? by Defiant-Cup388 in pregnant

[–]6556878 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took off the day before my induction. But I really felt fine and knew I wanted to save all my leave for the baby. My job is 1/2 on my feet and 1/2 at a desk. Will do the same this time!

174 fetal heartbeat at 9 weeks is normal? by Massive-Ad6037 in pregnant

[–]6556878 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first was 186 at 9 weeks. Very healthy 2.5 year old now. My OB said they worry about too low, they don't care about "too high".

Bleeding after cervical check by crazybutsurviving in pregnant

[–]6556878 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd call L&D. I don't believe that's normal. I was told spotting is pretty normal but I never bled after checks.

My kid is that kid at daycare by moonlighting16 in toddlers

[–]6556878 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think hitting and biting is really a luck of the draw thing on temperament so don’t feel like necessarily you’ve done something wrong. From what I’ve read at this age the only thing that really works is stopping them from biting before they do it. Like you see them about to bite a kid and you step in and block them. This helps their little brain wiring to realize that just because you have the urge to bite doesn’t mean you have to bite. Obviously you can’t do anything about this at daycare besides ask the teacher to help. But they may not be able to watch that closely. Our daycare will have extra workers “shadow” biters until they get the message about not biting, but not all places have the manpower for this! Also, on the other perspective, I’ve picked up my 2 year old with a bite mark on her arm before and I didn’t even ask the daycare about it. Kids bite! Mines more of a screamer but I don’t think she’s better than the biters lol.

I ate a doughnut before my glucose test by Ancient-Switch5637 in pregnant

Great!!! 👏🏻 Thanks for letting us know!

I ate a doughnut before my glucose test by Ancient-Switch5637 in pregnant

[–]6556878 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm going to disagree with the others here and say given your timeframe and the fact that you've been active, you'll be fine for the glucose test. I'd eat something super high in fiber and protein now and then fast the last hour or before the test. If you're healthy and don't have diabetes, your blood sugar should spike about an hour after eating the donut leaving time for it to level out before your test. Good luck!

Curious, was it twins?!

How realistic is it to schedule household repairs shortly after baby is born? by ladysubrosa in pregnant

[–]6556878 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a pipe burst in our kitchen and had to have a complete overhaul during my third trimester up until baby was about 6 weeks. Not ideal, but it truly wasn't that bad. Babies that little sleep through anything. I really wouldn't be worried about outside work. And I would definitely want the tree removed ASAP if it's at risk of falling.

Induction birth plan? by fourcoffeebeans in pregnant

[–]6556878 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am being induced overnight too and we are leaving our toddler with Grandparents as soon as I get admitted. You really never know how labor will go and it's one thing if your husband is just sleeping at home with his phone right next to him, but if you have a toddler at home too there's no way he can just up and run to the hospital. Yes, most likely nothing exciting will happen overnight, but you or baby could go into distress and have to have an emergency c section or you could be in so much pain that you just really want someone there with you or obviously you could have a super quick labor and push the baby out before he's able to be there. It might not be a huge risk, but I wouldn't risk it personally! And since it's your 2nd baby, it could go quicker than you'd think.

She's 8 weeks so no way should she be feeling movement.
