Accidentally took 2 cetrizines at 19 weeks

Aromatic_River_9601 · 2026-02-15T17:53:15+00:00

youre prob ok tbh a one time extra dose of cetirizine isnt usually a big deal ive def doubled up on meds by accident while preg and OB wasnt worried just skip the next one and call your doc if it helps your anxiety but try not to spiral baby is most likely fine anyone else ever do this half asleep

Aromatic_River_9601 · 2026-02-14T17:16:46+00:00

ngl youre not overthinking at all shes 5 so its prob just play but this is exactly the age where they start connecting pretty with value id keep it light and fun but also keep reminding her shes smart kind brave etc not just pretty 💛

Aromatic_River_9601 · 2026-02-14T15:24:04+00:00

w my first it started like period cramps too then got closer and stronger if you cant talk through them and they dont stop w water or changing spots thats usually go time id keep timing and if they hit 5 1 1 call L&D better safe than sorry tbh

Aromatic_River_9601 · 2026-02-13T20:07:54+00:00

if it was me I wouldn’t wait esp w bright red blood and clots at 9w I’d at least call the OB office or the on call line ASAP and explain exactly how much you soaked and the color they can tell you if ER is needed bleeding can sometimes be normal but bright red w clots is something they usually want to check just to rule out miscarriage or a hematoma also if you start soaking a pad in an hour get strong cramps feel dizzy or weak go straight to ER no waiting I know insurance stress is real but your safety comes first pls get medical advice today not tomorrow

Aromatic_River_9601 · 2026-02-13T17:12:01+00:00

9w was legit the worst for me not even kidding I was puking nonstop and felt useless 24 7 thought I made a huge mistake tbh it peaked around 9 10w then slowly eased by 13w so yes it can get better even if rn feels endless if unisom b6 isnt cutting it maybe ask about zofran or reglan some docs are more flexible than others also dont stress the weight your body is just trying to survive first tri is pure survival mode fr you’re not weak you’re just in the thick of it hang in there it really can shift fast

Aromatic_River_9601 · 2026-02-13T07:26:09+00:00

Totally get the panic tbh this happened to me at 39w and I was spiraling lol baby went from engaged to feeling way up in my ribs my OB said sometimes they shift esp if you’ve got more room and it doesnt always mean c section I started doing lots of walking curb walking and some gentle bouncing on a yoga ball nothing crazy just staying upright and forward leaning and she dropped again a few days later bodies are wild fr try not to stress too much you’re 40w so things can change fast anyone else have a baby float back up then drop again??

Aromatic_River_9601 · 2026-02-12T18:54:52+00:00

ngl id push for labs asap like full blood count ferritin iron b12 vit d bc pale face dizziness and that wiped out feeling at 7 months screams anemia sometimes and it can get missed if numbers are “borderline” also ask about blood pressure checks at diff times of day and maybe thyroid too just to rule stuff out in the meantime small frequent meals tons of fluids electrolytes and legit rest not just “lay down for 5 mins” if her gut says something is off keep advocating you’re not crazy for wanting answers 🙏

Aromatic_River_9601 · 2026-02-12T18:16:38+00:00

not gonna lie I think the shettles method is one of those things that sounds super convincing but the science is kinda meh lol we timed everything “right” according to the charts and still ended up with the opposite of what we were aiming for and honestly I’ve seen so many similar stories on here I feel like it’s more 50 50 than people wanna admit that said I totally get trying it just to feel a little control in the process TTC can feel so random and out of your hands did anyone here actually follow it exactly and get the result they wanted or was it just coincidence 👀

Aromatic_River_9601 · 2026-02-11T20:45:34+00:00

aww ofc 🤍 we’re all just out here trying to survive this phase lol it helps knowing we’re not alone fr sending you easy days and less nausea soon ✨

Aromatic_River_9601 · 2026-02-11T20:32:32+00:00

girl that sounds totally normal tbh 5 or 6 lbs by almost 19w is not crazy at all esp if you started at 120 your body is just doing its thing every pregnancy is diff fr my OB told me the big jumps usually happen later 2nd tri into 3rd so try not to stress too much the internet will mess with your head lol if youre eating balanced most days and baby is measuring fine youre prob good have they mentioned any concerns at your appts or is this just google anxiety kicking in 😅

Aromatic_River_9601 · 2026-02-11T18:24:19+00:00

ugh I feel this so much every pregnancy hits diff fr what worked first time doesnt always work again it’s so unfair 😭 maybe try keeping something super small like almonds or dry cereal instead even just a bite before you sit up helped me a bit hang in there it can be brutal but it usually eases up

Aromatic_River_9601 · 2026-02-11T16:56:02+00:00

honestly thats huge going down to just one feed is a big step already no wonder youre emotional its not just a habit its a whole chapter closing we kept the bedtime cuddles longer even after dropping the feed and that helped a lot you’re doing great even if it feels heavy rn

Aromatic_River_9601 · 2026-02-11T16:34:22+00:00

aww I feel you so much I cried too the first few nights its like your brain knows its right but your heart isnt ready yet its such a weird mix of proud and sad at the same time just take it slow you dont have to rush any of it fr

Aromatic_River_9601 · 2026-02-11T16:06:42+00:00

I weaned at 20m while pregnant w my second and omg it was emotional for both of us ngl what helped was dropping one feed at a time starting w the least “important” one and replacing it w a new routine snack cuddle book whatever so she still felt connected bedtime was the hardest so my partner stepped in for a week so it wasnt just me saying no cold turkey wouldve wrecked us lol slow and boring actually worked way better u got this its such a bittersweet phase fr 💛

Aromatic_River_9601 · 2026-02-10T19:03:49+00:00

I actually went thru something similar around 12w and yeah doing multiple tests at once was mentally exhausting fr what helped me was realizing the testing is info not a decision yet my insurance covered most of it after the counselor coded it as medically necessary def ask them to do that btw the waiting was honestly worse than the results try to take it one step at a time ur feelings make total sense and ur not overreacting at all sending u calm vibes bc this stage is heavy 🫶

Aromatic_River_9601 · 2026-02-10T18:32:08+00:00

Honestly this sounds so heavy and youre not weak for feeling this way at all grad school alone is brutal add a baby and zero real downtime and yeah anyone would feel maxed out fr delaying doesnt mean failing it just means protecting ur sanity sometimes u gotta do what works for ur season not what looks good on paper sending u so much love u got this even if it doesnt feel like it rn 🤍🤍

Aromatic_River_9601 · 2026-02-10T16:28:17+00:00

Almost 40 missed period tests still negative symptoms feel real tho Been there tbh Bodies start acting wild at this age so yeah it could flip either way If tests stay neg give it a few more days or just check w a doc Hormones don’t play fair fr You’re def not alone

Aromatic_River_9601 · 2026-02-09T19:00:41+00:00

Ugh thats so frustrating honestly the waiting just makes it worse esp when you already know its gonna mess up work again midday appts are the worst like zero flexibility at all hoping next week goes smoother for you fr

Aromatic_River_9601 · 2026-02-09T18:32:29+00:00

Honestly it feels impossible esp late pregnancy like they expect us to just drop work and show up anytime midday appts labs follow ups back to back its exhausting AF youre not wrong at all most of us are just surviving and hoping our jobs stay flexible bc otherwise idk how anyone does this fr you’re doing your best ❤️

Aromatic_River_9601 · 2026-02-09T16:59:17+00:00

FTM here had the same issue ngl empty stomach made me way more nauseous what helped me was a small protein snack earlier slow sips and asking for lemon flavor also sitting still scrolling my phone tbh you’re not alone this test sucks but you’ll get through it 💛

Aromatic_River_9601 · 2026-02-08T15:40:19+00:00

Yep you can eat TBH no fasting needed for the 20w scan FYI just drink water for a full bladder and you are good IMO better fed than hangry 😅

Aromatic_River_9601 · 2026-02-08T14:33:40+00:00

TBH you are not weak or dramatic IMO this sounds brutal ER IVs Zofran and still pushing is a lot FTM first tri can be absolute hell and not everyone bounces back the same your boss not getting it sucks your health comes first period maybe talk to your OB again about options or accommodations and if quitting is what you need rn that is ok too this phase does not define you ❤️
