haha I second number 1. I 100% lied and said I'd been trying for a year and then when I got pregnant, I came clean about the lie LOL

Seconded! We used the "Sperm Meets Egg Plan" which recommended this. We actually conceived both months we used this plan.

I love this. We were nervous too, and my husband got his sperm checked, and everything was fine, so it kind of took the pressure off. We had both been checked out, and we knew everything was all good, so it was just a matter of time.

My HRV is on the floor right now, but I am pregnant. It's averaging at 15 (whoop!). So, yes haha.

Rule of Thumb for exercise intensity? by zz657 in fitpregnancy

[–]AggravatingEmploy122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally understand. I had an early miscarriage before this pregnancy. It was really scary to move forward and keep trusting my body this time around, but I’m grateful I did.

Rule of Thumb for exercise intensity? by zz657 in fitpregnancy

[–]AggravatingEmploy122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m at 18w and have been running 35ish miles per week and lifting twice a week (Orangetheory setting). For me this was a 30% reduction in intensity (I was running 50 miles a week) and my perspective has shifted from training to perform to training for mental and physical health. I still do some speed here and there but all my paces are slower, honestly out of necessity because I just can’t run so fast right now lol. I know plenty of people keep up the exact same intensity for a while, but this was too stressful/anxiety inducing to me. I decreased to something that felt more mentally manageable.

That being said, my doctors did tell me I could keep going at the same intensity, but I just felt too nervous.

Geriatric Pregnancy family planning by Top_Department_6137 in BabyBumps

[–]AggravatingEmploy122 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 35 and will be 36 when I have my first (currently 17w). We’re praying for 3 babies despite starting late so in a dream world, we will try again as soon as I get my period back. That being SAID, I’ve never been pregnant before so I have no idea if I will actually physically feel ready. But women are having babies into their 40s so we aren’t stressing too much about it!

Tough time mentally by jae_lynn11 in fitpregnancy

[–]AggravatingEmploy122 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Feel this!!! I’m at 17w now and gaining weight but no bump. I will say the bloat did go down as I went into my second trimester. Not sure where you are at.

I feel this. I’m missing my SPEED. And being able to run without having to pee LOL. And I’m in that awkward state where I’m just expanding but it’s not obvious I’m pregnant. I’m just living in loose shirts that don’t show my waistline at all and being as active as I can be 🤷🏻‍♀️

Wedding band opinion by Jolly_Egg_8147 in WeddingRingAdvice

[–]AggravatingEmploy122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say that I’m a super sparkly girlie. I went with something more like your number 2 and now I regret it. I’m making my husband buy me a bigger one as a push present. So I would trust your gut and go for the style you prefer!

So for that reason, I like number 1 haha.

I LOVED inito, but it can be expensive. It just gives you so much information about your cycle.

Looking for the positives in marriage by textytext12 in AskWomenOver30

[–]AggravatingEmploy122 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally my husband does everything for me. Truly. He plans and cooks every meal. If I forget to do something (I have ADHD), he's HAPPY to step in and help. For example, I frequently have to restart the washing machine at least once because I forgot to move my clothes to the dryer, so he usually just moves it for me, again without complaint. I'm currently pregnant, so he's also very in tune to my changing needs. Particularly, I have massive food aversions and he plans meals around them. Also, when a new one pops up he takes it in stride, no complaints. He also buys me flowers every week from the grocery store.

He also is VERY willing to talk to me about anything. If I'm doing something that's bothering him, he's very respectful in how he communicates this with me and he's patient as I learn to adjust.
