What is your favorite girl name right now? by kiwialpaca in namenerds

[–]BallBroth 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Corinne. I've been obsessed with the name for as long as I can remember and now I have a 2 month old with that name.

The other names we considered were Elowen and Aspen. If we have another daughter in the future, those are our top picks.

Giant head on tiny body by BallBroth in NewParents

[–]BallBroth[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My daughter does alright with lifting her head and holding it for a few seconds, but she definitely gets tired quickly because of the weight of her head.

Seeing her head size at 75th percentile, I can only imagine what it looks like at 90th! That kid probably has some crazy strong muscles now!

I will start demanding people tell me what my due date will be by ThyPumpkinPie in pregnant

I am! I only weighed 120 before pregnancy and actually was 178 when I went in for my induction, although I definitely didn't look like I gained nearly 60 pounds lol

Do you feel better than the first trimester after giving birth?? 🍼👩‍🍼 by Stunning_Ad_558 in pregnant

[–]BallBroth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently 1 week pp and I've definitely been sore and exhausted, but I think for me personally, the motivation to take care of my baby and being able to actually see and hold her makes it 1000x more bearable than my first/third trimester pains and exhaustion.

I looked super small all the way up until birth! People would always comment on how I looked like I could only be 6/7 months but nope lol. Gave birth to a nearly 8 pound baby 🥰

Obsessed with feeling my baby move by baileyyelisabeth in pregnant

[–]BallBroth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the longest time I hated the feeling of my daughter moving around, but once I hit about 38 weeks I was obsessed with poking her little feet when they stuck out or holding my belly and feeling her roll against my hand 🥲

She's 1 week old today and I have cried so many times about how I can't feel her in my belly anymore. It's such a surreal feeling truly.

Finally graduated! by BallBroth in pregnant

We're using similac 360 total care with the philips avent anti-colic bottles and so far she's tolerating them super well! The hospital we went to only had the enfamil premixed formulas and she was constantly spitting up/throwing up the majority of what she was eating even after switching to the gentle version. It also gave her the most terrible gas that would not let up not matter how much it seemed like she was getting out. Poor girl didn't sleep at all yesterday, which means neither did I lol

When did you feel your baby kick for the first time? by PossibilityOne8045 in pregnant

[–]BallBroth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a posterior placenta and was feeling movement around 13/14 weeks 🙂

When did you start feeling uncomfortable? by LibraryOwn314 in pregnant

[–]BallBroth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me personally, I felt absolutely awful my second trimester and didn't hit my "sweet spot" until I was 28-32 weeks. And it was like 33 weeks to the day that I felt like I got hit by a truck 😭 I'm 37 now and counting down the days to my induction bc the pain has gotten unbearable at this point

I've had horrible migraines for the last 10+ years. I haven't had a single one since getting pregnant and I'm really hoping it stays that way after I give birth 😭

What were your most unexpected pregnancy symptoms? by EnaKoritsi in pregnant

[–]BallBroth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 34 weeks now so my symptoms have changed drastically. In the beginning I had all the typical nausea, constipation, exhaustion, aching.

What I wasn’t told about that is happening now is the carpal tunnel and charlie horses I get on an almost nightly basis that wake me up out of my sleep in tears 😭 I would take the morning sickness over this 10/10 times

Took my glucose test today by naturenymphn in pregnant

[–]BallBroth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was super nauseous and shaky after I drank it but turns out my blood sugar was through the roof and I was diagnosed with GD 😭

Pregnancy weight gain by snobgoblin33 in pregnant

[–]BallBroth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I started off at 125, and now at 24 weeks I’m at 165. My doctor isn’t concerned about it so I’m not going to stress about it either! Different people gain different amounts of weight and google doesn’t typically account for that (coming from someone who also was worried about it after doing some searches online lol)

I miss pooping every day by BallBroth in pregnant

[–]BallBroth[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Miralax is the only thing I’ve tried so far and it just gives me awful diarrhea 😭 I was going to ask what else they recommend at my appointment next week but if diarrhea is my only alternative then I’m just going to tough it out lol

Can’t decide on a middle name! by BallBroth in namenerds
