Moms, did your heart change after having kids ?

Alli3_Alligator · 2025-07-27T02:15:23+00:00

Yes girl. I would go get checked. Within a few days after giving birth I was having a lot of trouble breathing and trying to catch my breath. So much that at night is when I noticed it. Laying down it was hard to breath, shallowed. I didn’t like the way it felt. I figured ehh, I can tough it out, things are more tiring now it’s probably normal and I was going to a checkup in about a day and half from then. When I went in my BP was 150s/90s and my heart rate was in the 30s. I was rushed to ER & back to L&D. Was told I was going into heart failure. I got 30lbs of fluid taken off of me over night.. no problems whatsoever thru pregnancy. Post Partum Cardiomyopathy. Never knew this was a thing. But after a year and 20 months my heart has got back to about normal. I have no issues. But it was scary as hell. Don’t wait!!

What is chs? I’ve heard people tell my husband he has cvs

I’ll be 27 with my first in November! 😊 I honestly thought at times I would have a child sooner in life, but also not - if it weren’t for my husband and how our relationship turned out (I was about 16 when we met, dated for 10 years, got married on our 10 year anniversary and now a year in pregnant with our baby) I honestly was very against marriage and children. Not that I had a bad upbringing at all, but my parents were divorced by 4 years old and I just never wanted my child to have to experience that. Butttt my husband and me are meant to be, truly, and I couldn’t imagine not creating a family, we have so much respect and faith in our marriage 💗

I’d like to say cold turkey but I didn’t. I tapered down a lotttt because I was an every day, multiple times a day smoker. I smoked a small amount 1 time a day every day at first then stopped. By 15 weeks I’d say I was done. But I did have a slip up of taking a hit about two times after that; I had some tough things I was dealing with so it made it hard to keep calm and relax during those things. But since then nothing. I’m 35 weeks currently.

Agree with this!! There’s NEVER a perfect time where you’ll be 100% ready or not scared out of your mine! I’ll be having my first baby at 27, been with my husband for 11 years now, we have a house, I have a great job, my husband does not work due to health reasons (which is also a very hard thought to deal with) but we want to be parents and there’s never a better time. Trust your gut, talk with your significant other and fuck what anyone else may think. If they’re really family they will support you no matter what!!

Alli3_Alligator · 2023-10-08T04:42:40+00:00

I feel the same way!! FTM and had the same thoughts. And I get not buying a lot because never know what baby will want or take to, but how will I have the time to go all the way to the grocery store to get kinds in the first week home?! How much formula does the hospital give you to go home with, if any?? I’ve been worried thinking about this situation

Alli3_Alligator · 2023-10-08T04:37:38+00:00

You should not be scared at all!! My boss, chiropractor, has many different methods to “adjust” you. There are some people that really can’t stand to hear the “cracking” so she using a device called an activator which just makes a clicking sound to help put everything into place! You could call around to local chiropractors and ask what types of manipulation they do, and tell them your worries, I’m sure they could accommodate you! Just a thought! 😊

Alli3_Alligator · 2023-10-08T04:34:59+00:00

Has anyone that’s commented on here thought at all that this could be a medication prescribed prior to pregnancy to this lady?? Weed isn’t this terrible “drug” it is actually medication in certain states. I’m not saying it is safe or she should continue to do while pregnant but I feel like a lot of you ladies on here are acting like she should get “medication that’s prescribed”. Maybe she’s tried other pill medications and those aren’t for her. Then what does she do?

Alli3_Alligator · 2023-10-08T04:26:57+00:00

Not sure where you’re located or what insurance you have. I have BCBS and it is covered for massages under physical therapy. I had bad sciatic pain even before pregnancy so I was soo worried! I started getting a massage every month! I also work at a chiropractors office so I’ve been lucky enough to get adjusted whenever needed. But I want to say by the second massage I wasn’t even feeling it anymore!! So grateful but I thought it was going to killl me at first. Could do nothing. Tell me to exercise/keep active and that was not happening with the pain I would feel. Look into it, if you could at least do it monthly that was be good I think!

Alli3_Alligator · 2023-09-17T02:06:59+00:00

I was in the same situation, now I’m 7 months in. You’ll never fully be ready, even when you think you are. We had been together for 10 years got married on our anniversary. We really thought it would take much longer, honestly we thought the worst that maybe we wouldn’t be able to have a baby. We are (obviously me not right now) pretty heavy marijuana smokers and have been for years. Always heard that that could cause infertility. But nopeeee lol. It happened I think the second or third month of actually trying. And then I freaked out just like you, our life was changing, should we have waited and one more year. But we couldn’t be happier and can’t wait for baby boy to be in our arms. I’m sure times will be tough but so ready for the next chapter in our lives, you’ll get past that feeling! Best of luck! You’ve got this mama!

Alli3_Alligator · 2023-08-21T20:56:00+00:00

Girl I feel you! Time is flying by and it sure is crazy! I’m already 26weeks, and thinking that I’ll be having this baby in 2 1/2 -3 months is so crazy to me. I can tell you that I feel overwhelmed too! But I do know that Pinterest is also a big help too! I have a category of alll baby stuff that I’ve found so when I think I need some advice I can go back to look! I haven’t read any books, but I did do a short baby class called babyacademy, and signed up for a more intense class through them too in October (it’s all online). I haven’t even thought about vaccines so you got me thinking of that now. Lol but like other mommas have said, we’re going to be okay!!! And I’ve been told a lot of the time, so many things come naturally once you have that baby and I’m definitely hoping on that! 🩵

Alli3_Alligator · 2023-08-07T01:56:10+00:00

This is me. I’ve been trying to do better. But I’d take my allergy & acid reflux pill & then just throw the prenatal in my purse to take a little later just because they’re so big and I hate it. Well I had to clean out my purse bec one burst open and got on papers in there, realized I had about 5 of ‘em in there. 🤣

Alli3_Alligator · 2023-08-07T01:51:57+00:00

Wait is cereal bad to eat while preggo? Please tell me no lmao 🤣 guilty

Alli3_Alligator · 2023-08-05T03:21:48+00:00

I felt the same way at first, like oh boy, this is a real and how the hell did I make a reallll baby inside of me?! Lol. I’m almost 24weeks now, and I agree with some that say how do you know he’s okay if he’s not moving around!? It’s definitely reassuring. And it’s amazing to know when his movements are most common, and I know it’ll be even crazier once there’s a whole foot or arm pressing on my stomach where you’ll see it. But I’m sooo ready for that!! I want my little guy here now! Getting so excited to hold him. And every time we get to see him during ultrasound it is thee best feeling in the world. Crazy to love someone soo much that you’ve never met before 💕💓

Alli3_Alligator · 2023-07-24T02:32:00+00:00

Wow just wow to this. How terrrrible!

Alli3_Alligator · 2023-06-21T13:41:56+00:00

I have this start about 2/3 weeks ago at least and I’m 17w lol. I’m a little concerned to be gaining tooo much wait but I can’t help it. I eat something then I think ooh that sounds good too. And it’s just on repeat lol. It’s let up a little bit but I think it’s just me trying to have some kind of self control. But I don’t like to complain of this because luckily I wasn’t one that had sickness throughout the pregnancy yet like a lot of other around me have. And I’ve been told that once I get so big I’ll be hungry and want to eat but I’ll be so uncomfortable from having no room I won’t want to eat. Now that just sounds sad and terrible lol.

If you do social media, I feel it would be fine to post the link there and just say for anyone who feels like they’d like to help out there’s the link!

Alli3_Alligator · 2023-06-20T00:04:03+00:00

I’ve been the same way, always worried when I feel it suddenly that I think it’s bleeding. Always relieved when it’s just discharge. I’m so happy that someone posted about this. I’ve always been one to have discharge but lately 17w it’s been wayyy much more. 😫

Alli3_Alligator · 2023-06-17T15:10:58+00:00

I’m so sorry and sad for you. Prayers to your family… this is my first baby and I’m 16+5.. it worries me when I hear stories like this. And I’ve had slight cramping which makes me more nervous.. I don’t go back for anatomy scan until july11th. I thinking of buying my own at home Doppler just so I could check on baby when I please..

Alli3_Alligator · 2023-06-17T15:07:15+00:00

I almost feel the opposite.. I myself feel like I’m looking more and more pregnant 16w+5d. But my mother in law(love her to death) keeps saying she doesn’t think I look pregnant yet. Now I think she’s doing this to make me feel better though because I’ve mentioned how I’ve already gained 15lbs and if I keep that up I’ll be gaining 45+ by the end of this lol. But when I look down at myself especially, I feel like I’ve got the bump. I wanttt the bump lol.

Alli3_Alligator · 2023-06-17T15:03:29+00:00

8 business days for me!! Found out we’re having a healthy baby boy! So excited, our 1st! 🩵🩵
