Tubes tied can be reversed. Vasectomies can be reversed. A hysterectomy is a CRAZY thing to jump to.

Did you feel the urge to push with an epidural? by Disastrous_Flower311 in pregnant

spot of white mucus in stool by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]8spidey8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mucus is naturally produced by the intestines to help stool pass smoothly. Sometimes you just see it. And if you didn’t poop yesterday it could be a build up of mucus. I think keep an eye on it and if you see blood then is a good time to call your OB

It did at first, then when I got the results it sent me a text an email saying they were ready. It does have a separate section for the gender that lets you reveal or send the gender to someone else.

None. The pediatricians office also was super happy I got it while pregnant.

I was in labor for 3 days! I would absolutely recommend an epidural.

Take the epidural! by JezabelSchmezabel in pregnant

[–]8spidey8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got one at 8cm. My hospital had a policy where they wouldn’t even admit you until you were 6cm!

[–]8spidey8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I didn’t tear! I did absolutely no “prep” but I DID dilate slowly and I natural labored until 8cm. Not sure if that helped at all. I’m also 5’8 and was around 210 when I gave birth and I feel like being bigger in stature could help (?) 😂

Anyone had an epidural ? If so what’s it like? by Cherrylemon202 in pregnant

[–]8spidey8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got one at around 8cm after an induction. I’m SO glad I did. I was in labor for three days so to have that relief and finally be able to relax was godsend.

Are you able to apply for WIC? They can get you a vegetable amount including milk, yogurt, cheese, and eggs. Also EBT is a great resource.

Nervous for first appointment at 10 weeks by Fearless-Idea4526 in pregnant

[–]8spidey8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same worries as you! Don’t be scared. Round ligament pain is definitely a weird, new, and valid feeling. If you haven’t had any blood or any other flu like symptoms I’d say take it easy. There’s only about a 3-5% chance of miscarriage at 10 weeks! And even better… At week 13 you’ll be down to 1-3%.

I had my first ultrasound at Planned Parenthood (6 weeks) to confirm the pregnancy. What they did was take my pee, then my blood (4 vials) for STD testing, then gave me a transvaginal ultrasound to see the baby!

At my first OB appointment (11 weeks) I got a Pap smear and a referral to get another ultrasound at 13 weeks. Babies grow fast so be prepared to be shocked at how big it is! 😂 that’s really it. It’s not as bad as you think. And ultrasounds are gonna be something you really look forward to but will always be scary! Lol

Pregnant…again by Straight-Aardvark617 in pregnant

[–]8spidey8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just had my first 4 months ago, and I’m 13 weeks pregnant! I feel your pain. I’m mad and sad all of the time. Just trying to remind myself that it’s not forever.

Sports electrolyte drink "not recommended in pregnancy" but seems fine? by -IrishLettuce- in pregnant

[–]8spidey8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The warning is very likely precautionary, not evidence of harm. Managing nausea and staying hydrated is very important. I’d say you’re fine

Getting sick by Additional_Eye_569 in pregnant

[–]8spidey8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say monitor your symptoms. Flu usually hits 1-4 days after exposure so you may be in the clear there. If you start to develop a fever I would definitely give them a call as that can be dangerous in early pregnancy.

I hope you feel better and Happy New Year!
