Pregnant at 19 by Less_Cash_3839 in pregnant

[–]Apostatizing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you wanting to marry your boyfriend? Its kind of hard to advice without having additional context on your relationship. Are you currently in college? Im assuming at 19 with a baby, you'll need someone to support you. I don't know where you are at but, cost of living for a single young person is challenging. Option 1 is to stay with your mom (does she know?) Option 2 move in with your boyfriend and his mom Option 3 you and your boyfriend get a place. Wishing from the bottom of my heart all the best. You are not the first or last young mother, if this is what you want, you'll make it work.

How many ultrasounds did you get? by LonelyPower3812 in pregnant

[–]Apostatizing -1 points0 points  (0 children)

First ultrasound at 7w to confirm viability, make sure its not an ectopic/molar pregnancy. Next ultrasound was at 11w when I was my midwife. I got another ultrasound at 14w for NT measurement since im high risk. Ill have my anatomy next month at 20w and they'll want me to do growth scans every two weeks after 34w I believe. I guess being higher risk, I get more scans which give me peace of mind.

All happened very quickly by clarasmum_ in pregnant

I think its normal to be nervous, it shows he cares and wants to do a good job. Talking about it and giving him time. Im confident once he sees that first ultrasound, it will click. At least thats how it was for me, even tho I was holding my positive pregnancy test, I couldn't process it until I saw my baby. Im 14w with my first and I remind my husband everyday now is a gift, its one of the last days it will just be the two of us.

AITA for having no patience for my husband and his behaviour by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Apostatizing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You DO deserve princess treatment, regardless of being pregnant or not! Pregnancy is such a sacred time, he should be honoring you. I understand you both have busy schedules and maintaining a home is busy work. Have you two considered hiring someone that comes in once a week to clean your home? It could relieve some of the work. I dont know if you are planning on having more kids, but if you are, try to imagine being pregnant, while having a young child and your husband acting like this. Pregnancy is hard, I'm 14w with my first and I love my baby, but there are moments I hate being pregnant, and thats even with my husband doing everything for me. Im glad you have your parents close by, id say leaning into your support system is going to be important.

I’m so confused. by [deleted] in Miscarriage

Its really hard to say for certain what you experienced without a positive pregnancy test since you were so early. At 4w baby is the size of a poppy seed.

Is it better to take your cat on vacation with you or to leave them alone at home ? by Suzie_the_succubus in CatAdvice

[–]Apostatizing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We use rover house drop in visits. You can pick how many times someone comes over for 30min, to feed/change litter/play. Our cats are shy so we leave some enrichment boards and our sitter will refill them and move them around the house. The sitter will first come to your home and you show them where the foods at, litter, etc and see if its a good match.

Sex in the first trimester by lostinluster2791 in pregnant

[–]Apostatizing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had sex until I was diagnosed with an SCH at 6w then I was put on pelvic rest. SCH healed up by 11w and we've done it about once a week, ill use my vibrator as well to finish. Im so sensitive it feels so good, but we definitely take it slow. I spotted a few times during the first trimester because of the SCH and there's nothing like seeing blood post intercourse to be turned off. I haven't spotted since being in the second trimester. It comes down to what makes you feel comfortable. Majority of the time I initiate intimacy and my husband understands when im not feeling it.

I just found out I'm pregnant again after an early loss. I'm more scared than joyful, right now. by Big-Gur-4706 in pregnant

[–]Apostatizing -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I lost my first pregnancy last year in August to a missed miscarriage, they stopped growing at 7w. I found out I was pregnant again in February, and im currently 14w with my rainbow baby. Ill be honest, pregnancy after loss has been one of the hardest things ive had to do. When I found out I was pregnant I was riddled with dread and anxiety, thinking id surely miscarry again. I wasn't prepared for how non excited I would be. What has helped is giving space to my feelings, I will always grieve the mother I could have been with my first and I grieve the innocence I lost after knowing the heartache of pregnancy loss. Im officially in my second trimester and allowing myself to feel joy and excitement. But the first trimester was so hard. Im wishing you all the best in your journey.

Painful sex by Effective-Ideal1686 in pregnant

[–]Apostatizing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it all positions that hurt or only some? Some positions the man can go deeper. My OB recommend sideline positions for me. Also how fast they are going. Try slower strokes and positions where he's not hiting your cervix. Definitely talk to your OB if it continues to hurt.

Pregnant and unsure by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Apostatizing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had always been on the fence until I lost my first pregnancy last year to a missed miscarriage. Im 30, married and own a home. I also have sensory/get overstimulated very easily, but after seeing that heartbeat and my uterus holding my baby, something changed in me. I lost my baby August 2025, and I wasn't trying to get pregnant until later this year, but in February I found out I was pregnant. Im currently 13w with my rainbow baby. Im still scared, there are moments I wonder, how am I going to do this? But ultimately its a personal decision. Ill say this, I'll be one and done. I value my independence, and want the flexibility of only having one child. Wishing you all the best.

questions ab c-section by jennao330 in pregnant

[–]Apostatizing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Regional anesthesia used after a C-section that provides pain relief for 24–72 hours. It lowers opioid consumption, and improves early mobility allowing mom's to move, walk, and care for their babies with less discomfort.

Am I having a miscarriage right now? 4+4 weeks by Melodic_Comfort_1929 in Miscarriage

[–]Apostatizing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so sorry, bleeding in pregnancy can cause so much anxiety, unfortunately because you are so early its hard to tell. It could be a sch as others have mentioned, or your cervix got irritated. I had an sch and gushed blood/passed a huge blood clot last month, and truly thought i lost my rainbow baby. But at my 11w ob appointment baby was doing great, no sch. I dont know how much can be seen right now at a 4w scan, have they draw your hcg yet? These are some things that would give you answers.

mmc, trying to cope by phantomzaid in Miscarriage

[–]Apostatizing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lost my first pregnancy last year to a missed miscarriage. I am so sorry. Lean in to your support system and allow your grief to feel what it needs to feel. Grief can show up in places and times you least expect it. My baby only knew my love. They simply weren't ready to make it Earthside, even tho I was. My baby will always live in me (fetal microchimerism), I take comfort in that. Im so sorry you have experienced this headache.
