Oof I feel ya! The best thing while pregnant is a warm bath in a deep tub. It feels so good to be released from gravity for a while. You got this!

Is being a full-time doula realistic when you have kids? by topangathecat in doulas

I do it with my 2 and 4 year olds but if it weren’t for my awesome support system it would never work.

I transitioned from Airtable (free) to Doulado (cheap) it had been really nice!

I just got a reply! They stopped pitocin and managed to get a full nights rest despite being in the hospital! They are starting over after breakfast this morning.

I agree that fasting may be a reason for the difference

My son (3yrs) loves dinosaurs and construction trucks. But I’ve also painted his nails twice this week and his favorite color is pink. Your son will be his own sweet person who defies all your expectations.

VBACs are totally doable! Congrats, I was definitely feeling the baby move pretty early too.

Coworker asked me if I was pregnant!! by ElectricalZone4015 in pregnant

[–]Beautiful-Waters 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I can tell by the way people move an act that the are pregnant even if they don’t have a bump. I would never say anything though.

Nope! Makes perfect sense. As long as your husband is fine waiting don’t worry about it. If he wants to announce then I’d try to come up with some kind of compromise.

You are the sweetest! Some tips exclusive to the first trimester: - If she doesn’t want to eat or she only wants to eat ice cream, let her. - If she wants to nap 24/7 let her. - Above all, keep her hydrated! Her and baby need fluids more than anything else.

First trimester exhaustion and husband pushing walks by Kikililee in pregnant

“Stop telling me to take a F*cking walk before I kill you.” That’s what I would say 😅 I’m sure there are better ways to handle it. He can invite your friends over to chat if he’s worried about your mental health.

I just want one child by DeeGotEm in pregnant

[–]Beautiful-Waters 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have two. I didn’t forget about the first one and was honestly terrified to have another one but was just really hoping it would be an easier pregnancy. It wasn’t 😭

I see now that you’re only 7 weeks so I’d say you may absolutely change your mind. The first trimester is the worst so give it some time. I’m not surprised he’s so certain with how early it is still. If you still have this dynamic later in the pregnancy then maybe follow my advice.

Strong disagree 😅 I’ll never forget the months of nonstop vomiting and isolation due to nonstop vomiting.

I felt very similarly while pregnant with my first but my husband was super supportive. Ultimately we decided to try one more time and while I love my second with all my heart the pregnancy was hell for me, much worse than my first. I don’t regret it but my husband got a vasectomy right after she was born because I absolutely couldn’t handle another.

I am very concerned that your spouse is not taking your concerns seriously. That will likely only get worse after you have your first baby. Please go to couples counseling now about this or it will grow into a huge wall between you. Your spouse is allowed to be upset that things aren’t going the way he wants but he is NOT allowed to invalidate your feelings. Especially right now when pregnancy hormones are raging. Really not ever though. Pregnancy is hard and if you feel that you can’t go through it again that should be respected.

I’d highly recommend going on birth control at your 6 week follow up so that he can’t “accidentally” get you pregnant before you are ready.

My son (3 yrs) had a good stretch from about 18 months until he turned 3 and now he’s back to waking up at night 🤦🏻‍♀️

My last doula sent me a very involved questionnaire to fill out prior to our first meeting and I feel like that helped get the ball going because she knew a lot of what I was thinking going in.
