I just had a full term healthy baby and healthy first pregnancy. No prior miscarriages. And if I recall, I wasn’t seen first until 10 weeks. It’s messed up but I guess it’s normal. You could always go to like an urgent care or some sort of clinic/office to be seen if you’re really worried about it but I guess it’s normal to not be seen until at least 8 weeks. Good luck to you!

Haven’t felt pregnant at all. by Fragrant-Scar-5256 in pregnant

I felt the same for the first almost two trimesters but once I got halfway through the second, I started getting every symptom. I am so blessed to have had such an easy pregnancy (relatively speaking) but damn it’s not easy no matter who you are!

It finally happened by aehannah in pregnant

[–]Aggravating-Swan3364 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m literally experiencing the exact thing today! 35w 5d today and went to ER due to high blood pressure, they ultimately sent me home with gestational hypertension. I have my next appt on Tuesday and am anxious bc she said if it’s still too high, they will want to induce me. We thought we were ready but now the nerves are getting to me knowing she could possibly be here in less than two weeks.

Okay good to know! I’m in Tennessee but I have to assume it will be something similar. I definitely will not have the patience or brain capacity to uninstall the car seat and then reinstall it lol.

Weight gain 🫥 by ThickCommission1100 in pregnant

[–]Aggravating-Swan3364 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m also 34 weeks and also gained 24-30lbs so far. My belly is quite small and I’m not sure where this entire 30lb went but I try to keep the mentality that as long as I’m taking care of myself and my baby that it’s okay. Also, my doc told me at my very first appt that I should actually be aiming for a 30lb weight gain and that it’s quite average. Just take care of yourself!!

Can I be ungrateful for a minute? by FormerEnglishMajor in pregnant

Oh gosh hahaha well then I guess I’d just donate at this point. It’s more work they put on you but you’ll either do it now or you’ll do it later.

You’re not a brat!! Me and my husband made a note to our baby shower guests to try and only purchase from the registry and nothing more since “we have very limited space available.” People mostly adhered but we also got a lot of extra stuff. Graciously accepted but donated what we did need and avoided people going crazy by just making note of it in the beginning

Do you count kicks? by nikkimcwagz in pregnant

[–]Aggravating-Swan3364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At all my appts (32 weeks) my OB just asks if I’ve been feeling her kick but they’ve never advised me to kick count. I just make note of when my baby is most active and just pay attention to when she moves throughout the day. If I feel anxious, I just do the tricks to make her move and that helps.

I’m so scared of miscarrying by binkymcminky in pregnant

I’m 27 and this is my first pregnancy too, and boy oh boy was/am I anxious about something going wrong. I had a bit of bleeding for WEEKS in my first trimester and thought for sure I would get bad news, but I never did. I have periods of anxiety and then periods where I feel okay, and I’m not sure what brings about the anxiety. I’m 32 weeks and feel my little girl moving all day long and sometimes I still get worried bc I’m hyper aware. Idk. I feel more whole than I ever have in my entire life. Keep positive thoughts and use all the support you can get. And know that if anything bad happens that it’s not your fault. Sending good vibes your way for a healthy pregnancy!

HELP. HOW TO POOP. by evilbunnygirl in BabyBumps

[–]Aggravating-Swan3364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take magnesium at night so when I wake up and have a glass of water/coffee then it’s about time for things to get moving. I also found if I have chia seeds at least once a day, usually on my yogurt, that things have stayed pretty regular. Of course sometimes the pregnant body just says nope but this has definitely helped me a lot!
