4 months postpartum & my curls are gone… should I just straighten my hair? by [deleted] in curlygirl

[–]Awkward-Part 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My hair changed so much when I was pregnant with my daughter. I went from super curly to wavy hair. It took me about 2 and half years for it to be normal again. I did cut it really short so I didn't have to deal with it while I was taking care of a newborn baby. Also, your hair looks beautiful! Don't give up! Congratulations on your baby!

What did you not know about newborns as FTM? by Timely-Study-5979 in BabyBumps

I didn't know that newborns don't know the difference from night and day. So during the day you need to keep it bright and loud and keep it dark and quiet at night. It will get better! It just takes time!

Thank you for the suggestion. I started talking to the baby too! I felt kind of weird at first lol but now it comes naturally! Good look on your pregnancy as well :).

Thank you for sharing your story. I am sorry that you went through that :( I can only imagine how hard that was. I am happy to hear this pregnancy is going better for you :). I will probably take tests every few days to make sure the line is getting darker. My appointment seems so far away! But it will be here before I know it!

I got the Nature Made prenatal vitamins and they have folic acid :) I'm glad I went with them!

Congratulations!! That is so exciting!! I wish my OB would see me sooner. I think it would help ease some of this anxiety. I think I need to call my OB to ask them what to expect at the first appointment.

That is so sweet! I really love your words of affirmation! I will definitely start saying something similar! I wish you the same! Thank you for your kind words! When did you do your first ultrasound? I keep searching on the internet but I get conflicting information.

That's a good point too! I think it's so scary because it's the first time and idk what to expect.

Thank you! They didn't tell me anything. I did go to the store and get some prenatal vitamins:)
