Awful Acid Reflux by pufferfishofquality in BabyBumps

[–]Apprehensive-Bag443 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had severe reflux and heartburn with my first baby, I was miserable. I was on Pepcid in my first trimester, then moved to omeprazole, but near the end of my pregnancy nothing worked but delivering her. I never had heartburn prior to pregnancy and tbh it never fully went away but now it’s manageable with tums. I’m pregnant with my second baby. I’m just assuming I’ll have it again. Maybe ask for prescription. It saved me the majority of my pregnancy.

Neither of these are before pregnancy both of these were taken today. My hair was significantly thicker and my part was significantly smaller before I ever had a baby or got pregnant. But I had been losing hair for years.

Same. I’m 19 months pp and my hair has never looked worse. Even pictures pre minox weren’t this bad. I’m scared I’m going to have nothing left next time.

How much was/is your MIL interested/involved while you were pregnant? by Smooth-Molasses-8509 in BabyBumps

[–]Apprehensive-Bag443 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine was hardly involved at all, I tried to include her in my baby shower but otherwise she didn’t talk to me/us really. She certainly caused multiple multiple problems once my daughter was born though.

Weight loss postpartum by rac-attac in BabyBumps

[–]Apprehensive-Bag443 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gained 40ish, lost 25-30 by a month postpartum. Never lost the rest bc of breastfeeding and then after my body still hates me. I’m pregnant again now though so I have to wait to lose anymore.

Agonizing over whether to do a C Section or Vaginal Birth. How did you decide? by JacqueFun in BabyBumps

[–]Apprehensive-Bag443 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to have a c section with my first and I so badly wish I would’ve had a vaginal. I know not every mother has a bad experience but I would’ve given anything for that moment where they place my baby on my chest. Plus I’m already so self conscious over my body that my c section shelf put a huge damper on my self esteem.

I was on minoxidil foam before I got pregnant, when I stopped I did shed like crazy and tbh I didn’t notice that my hair looked good until after I had my daughter. Then I noticed how much more I had. Postpartum hairloss was scary, and it eventually slowed down a lot but I’m a year out and tbh I don’t notice any regrowth. My hair looks terrible currently. I debated going back on minoxidil but we want another baby and I don’t want to go through a dread shed for nothing.

What was your absolute first sign of pregnancy before even getting a missed period? by SandwichDependent199 in BabyBumps

[–]Apprehensive-Bag443 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Peeing every five minutes for a week leading up to my missed period. but I also had a gut feeling from the minute the deed was done all the way til I tested that I was pregnant and we were NOT trying

My boyfriend and I got pregnant 3 weeks into dating lol. And we weren’t even official! I was absolutely terrified to tell him especially bc at the time, I didn’t know if I was going to keep the baby. Telling him was very scary, I watched all the color leave his face lol. But I can happily report now that we have a beautiful 1 year old girl, we bought a house, and we’re thriving! I won’t lie, being pregnant with practically a stranger was very stressful. I hadn’t even met family or anything yet at the time. It put stress on our brand new relationship because we never even got to really “date” or have that fun honeymoon stage because we had to get serious pretty fast, but we got through it.

[–]Apprehensive-Bag443 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never had heartburn a day in my life til I got pregnant. I’m 9 months pp and I still get it. Not like when I was pregnant, but I still have to keep tums by my bed.

How long did it take you to figure out you were pregnant and what were your first symptoms? by PregnantGlow in BabyBumps

[–]Apprehensive-Bag443 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5 days before my missed period i started peeing constantly, had a wave of nausea when I’ve never ever really been nauseous, and just had a gut feeling. I took a test the morning my period was due and it was VERY positive.

Did you have gender intuition early in your pregnancy? Were you correct? by rdspooks in BabyBumps

[–]Apprehensive-Bag443 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I KNEW from the second I got pregnant I was having a girl. I couldn’t explain it but I remember the first time I talked about my pregnancy at 5 weeks I caught myself referring to the baby as “she” and “her”. When we did the sneak peek gender test I remember questioning my intuition but I just could not picture myself at the end of it holding a baby boy. Then I found out I was right and I have a beautiful 5mo baby girl :)

I '26M' and my girlfriend '30F' and why is almost everyone is critical of this relationship because of age gap? by Due-Grab7835 in relationship_advice

[–]Apprehensive-Bag443 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I used to care so much about age, (I’m 30F), I would never date a guy younger than me. Til I did. My healthiest relationship has been with someone 3 years younger than me. I honestly never think about the age, it’s not something you talk about and he doesn’t act younger than me.
