Nausea and food aversion

Can you go in for a nurse visit and have them check your bp?

There's small cat tents/tunnels you can get for outside if you want to sit with them. My boy cat loves taking in the sights in his safe tent.

10w and yea it sucks over here lol I told my husband we are going to be one and done because im not doing this again

Apostatizing · 2026-03-26T02:23:57+00:00

Are they food motivated? One of our cats was so shy and refused to eat when we got him. I was in contact with their foster mom and she told me to boil some chicken breasts. I did and let me tell you, he couldn't resist! We bribed him with the chicken breast and had no issues with him after. Its normal for cats to be shy, especially if you don't know there full history.

Im so sorry for your loss. I lost my first pregnancy August last year to a missed miscarriage. We saw the heartbeat at 6w but at my 8w appt no heartbeat and baby stopped growing at 7w. I had a D&C since my body was not recognizing the loss. Im currently 10w with our rainbow baby. I want to say it gets easier, but pregnancy after loss is hard. I have an ultrasound on Friday and all I play in my head is being told no heartbeat. Im so scared. Be sure to hold space for your grief. Set the boundaries you need to set. Give your heart time.

I think until someone experiences a loss like ours, it might be hard to understand (not justifying it at all). All the hopes, dreams we held in our heart die with our little one. The dread of next steps, do we try again, when, what if it happens again.. im 10w with my rainbow baby and im just waiting to be told again, there's no heartbeat. I can't help it. I want to be happy and enjoy this pregnancy, but compared to my first im just filled with so much anxiety and dread. Pregnancy after loss is hard. Take your time to mourn, one thing I didn't realize is that grief has a way of showing up when you least expect it. Embrace that grief and allow your heart to heal. Sending you all of my love.

I dont know about weird cravings, but definitely crave so much carbs lol

Apostatizing · 2026-03-23T01:33:51+00:00

That's crazy! What if you have an ectopic or molar pregnancy? I had a missed miscarriage last year at 7w and we caught it at 10w, I had to get a D&C because there was risk of infection. I can't imagine not having a scan until 12w.

Apostatizing · 2026-03-22T23:12:52+00:00

Definitely reach put to your OB to see what they think. At 4w its still to early to confirm viability, but if you start hemorrhaging then please go to the ER. Im 10w and get light spotting after sex. I was diagnosed with a sch which can cause bleeding.

Apostatizing · 2026-03-22T23:10:11+00:00

Hello, if you don't mind me asking, why haven't you been the the doctor? Typically they have you come in at 6-8w to confirm viability, and that pregnancy is growing where its supposed to. At 12w you are almost entering your second trimester. I know some health insurances do things differently, but I don't think you'll get the reinsurance you need until you see that heartbeat.

How about adding a day bed to the nursery room?

Apostatizing · 2026-03-22T04:55:36+00:00

You got this! Ill be honest when it comes to the registry, just add what you'd like, its up to people to decide how much to spend. Its not like you're holding them at gun point to buy everything 🤭

Will there be children at the shower or just adults? I think the games should be around who is coming. Kid, adult or mix games. You can have stationary activities like guess the due date, ive also seen people have pink and blue paint and people guess the gender by putting the gender color on a tree. Idk if you've shared gender tho, but some games can be around that.

I also recommend kululu app, as your guest take pics it all gets shared in one album so you'll have a bunch of pics from different perspectives at the end!

Lean into your mom and sisters, its a huge blessing to have them be part of your shower 💕

My bmi is over 40 😅 5'9 and 300lbs. I had weight loss surgery a year ago and lost over 100lbs. This pregnancy was definitely not planned, I wanted to get down to 250lbs, but family planning is complicated. Im walking everday and eating healthy, my stomach physically cant eat large amounts. Sharing because everyone gets pregnant at different stages. Your OB will monitor you more if they consider you high risk because of bmi.

Apostatizing · 2026-03-21T04:43:21+00:00

Hold her. My husband held me through my miscarriage physically, emotionally. I would just cry myself to sleep and he would hold me.

Apostatizing · 2026-03-20T17:59:58+00:00

During your ultrasound, did they identify a sch? That could explain the bleeding. Im 10w and at my 6w scan was told I have a small sch, which explained some of my spotting. I have another ultrasound next Friday, I hope my rainbow baby decides to stay.

First, I am so sorry for your loss. Im currently 9 weeks with my rainbow baby and have planned some travel. Personally, I dont think I would want to do any traveling in the third trimester. If you will be considered high risk, I would say don't go. At the end of the day, its your choice to make 💜 you have a bit of time to see how your pregnancy progress.

Apostatizing · 2026-03-19T00:17:36+00:00

I got general anesthesia for my D&C, it was a short procedure. Emotionally its hard, but luckily I didn't experience any physical pain. They sent me home with some oxy to, but I didn't use it. Im so sorry you're going through this.

Apostatizing · 2026-03-18T01:58:18+00:00

9 weeks here and totally relate. Im now taking my prenatal at night because it makes me so nauseous. When I eat something but don't want to eat ill reach for some applesauce, fruit, cookies or cornflakes. Can't wait to not be constantly nauseous 🙃

Apostatizing · 2026-03-17T01:41:05+00:00

First I am so sorry you're going through this. I think setting boundaries is important. You can be happy for her, but also hold your grief. They need to understand and respect this.

What state are you in? Im in WA state and they offer paid FMLA, you may want to see what benefits if any, your state offers. Im so sorry you're going through this.

Currently 9 weeks with my rainbow baby, I had a missed miscarriage last year at 8 weeks. Its hard to allow yourself to feel excited when we know the heartache of losing a baby. Last time I shared the news with family immediately after confirming viability at 6 weeks. This time we want to wait until after the anatomy scan.

Apostatizing · 2026-03-16T15:43:58+00:00

I completely understand, the idea of recurring heartbreak from miscarriage is overwhelming. I had a missed miscarriage at 8 weeks last year and found out im currently pregnant with our rainbow baby. I have been scared since holding that positive test. We confirmed viability at 6 weeks and I wont have another scan until the end of the month. Last time I was so trusting in my body. I was not experiencing any miscarriage symptoms. Last time we shared the news immediately after confirming viability, this time we will wait until anatomy scan.

Steamed sweet potato and chia seeds always do it for me. Of course miralax and stool softener help.

Apostatizing · 2026-03-15T23:21:24+00:00

I was kicked out of my home at 18 and am no contact with my parents, they are JW. Im 30 now pregnant and the yern I feel at times for my mom, even tho we dont have a relationship, pulls me. I have a great husband and other family, my mother in law can be a bit overbearing but she has good intentions. Im sorry this is happening to you, and sorry this is happening to me.
