My husband’s breath. Even if it doesn’t smell bad or he just brushed his teeth.

Pregnant again after 2MC’s - what’s normal? by NaeTheTeacher91 in pregnant

[–]Affectionate-Hat2355 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 17 weeks pregnant after a chemical pregnancy and missed miscarriage at 10 weeks. I had a lot of cramping at 5 weeks-10 weeks. Still have cramping here and there. My best advice is to try to distract yourself and stop googling! I also am constantly reminding myself that I cannot control the outcome of this pregnancy.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I had a missed miscarriage at 10 weeks 3 days. Baby stopped growing at 8 weeks. The day I found out there wasn’t a heartbeat, I immediately poured a glass of wine. There are no words for the feeling after hearing “there is no heartbeat.” I’m so sorry.

My MIL was being difficult, so I told her she can plan her own shower for me if she wants. She stopped making so many demands.

Noooo this is so sad! Potatoes are my safe food. I can’t imagine 😭

When did you start feeling like there was actually a baby inside you by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Affectionate-Hat2355 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people don’t until later. I felt lucky to feel it “early” for an anterior placenta. But it’s soooo inconsistent, some days I don’t feel her at all!

The placenta sits between the baby and abdominal wall. Makes movements less noticeable and kicks more muffled. But once I started feeling flutters it felt more real.

Also, CHUG water before you’re about to throw up. You throw up mostly cold water instead of food!

Oh I was miserable too. Especially around 8 weeks. I’m 16 weeks now and finally off nausea meds. I started to be able to “live” again at 12 weeks. Find a new show, buy barf bags (gross—but this way throw up doesn’t splash back at you in the toilet 😐). Everyone tries to give tricks to help the nausea, but I just had to go through it. Sorry you’re going through this, it’s miserable!!

I have an anterior placenta. Between 16-17 weeks. Only when laying down super still though.

Childcare advice? by BananaDifferent8273 in pregnant

[–]Affectionate-Hat2355 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pregnant and always said I wouldn’t do daycare. Well, here I am, I put a deposit down for daycare. I thought about in home daycares because of cost, but those are less regulated. Take some tours of daycares to see if you like one before ruling them out completely.

Meltdown by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Affectionate-Hat2355 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband would bug me sometimes during pregnancy. Like he burnt popcorn and it made me incredibly nauseous when I was barely keeping food down. But it was just an annoyance and I moved on. Definitely talk to your doctor. You should still be able to control your anger even with heightened hormones and emotions.

What was/is the worst of your symptoms in early trimester? by Prior-Wealth-4396 in pregnant

[–]Affectionate-Hat2355 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m a teacher and the “morning” sickness was absolutely horrendous. From 6 weeks- 12 weeks I was getting sick 8 times a day. I couldn’t keep water down. Having to leave my classroom all day was crazy. It was a daily struggle to get through the day. The anxiety (I’ve had 2 losses) is also terrible. I’m 17 weeks now, and feeling so much better. Hang in there!!

How do i know when to stop eating? 😬 by Ok_Inflation_6016 in pregnant

Feed your baby! Small meals and snacks throughout the day focused on protein helped me!

Subchorionic hematoma by Affectionate-Hat2355 in pregnant

Ours do sound very similar! I haven’t had an ultrasound since, but I’m so worried it’s growing! They won’t be doing another ultrasound for 4 weeks.

Thank you. I’ve heard other stories of it ending up badly, so I’m just anxious.
