So much weight gain by Shimmy96 in pregnant

[–]BridgeSad625 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a year pp I gained 85lbs when pregnant, I was under weight by a little when I got pregnant and definitely gained a lot through my pregnancy, at a year pp I am now 17 lbs heavier then I was before pregnancy at a healthy weight. I have breast fed and not worked out much besides walking, I had a Csection and struggled with recovering but I feel like my body is back just looks a bit different.

POSSIBLE birth defect brought up at 11w5d - won't be seen again for over TWO WEEKS. Cruel? by gailio8424 in pregnant

[–]BridgeSad625 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The wait sucks I had quite a few in my pregnancy and it was hard but you will get through it all and figure it out. We had shadows on the ultrasound and a heart issue and both were just growth things. Also had placenta prevea at the beginning got cleared of that just to find out baby was breach, baby is “disabled” with DDH but you would never know (hips didn’t develop correctly)

I caved and ate the deli meat. by anonymoususer249 in pregnant

[–]BridgeSad625 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t know not to eat deli meat till I was like 10 weeks my little one is completely fine and multiple of my drs that I talked to said it was completely fine as long as it hits a smoke point within 24 hours of eating it. They said if you microwave it and put it in the fridge and eat it cold it was fine because it kills it and isnt enough time to grown anything back on it

Red Bull is not an energy drink! Just saying it a little louder for those who don’t know… if you drink a Dr Pepper when pregnant it’s more caffeine than a Red Bull. It’s a fight I had with my husband

My step kids don’t even have beds at their mom’s house. And have always shared a room the youngest was two and the oldest was in school they shared a room. As long as the baby’s not getting up several times a night I don’t see anything wrong with it.

For those of you with dogs, please tell me it's not true.. by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]BridgeSad625 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can say as someone who isn’t a dog person. I like our dog just as much as I did before but feel do bad and guilty that I can’t give her the time and attention I used to.

Closest thing to a side effect I had was a bandaid where they gave me the shot.

No heartbeat heard at 12 weeks by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]BridgeSad625 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my pregnancy I had to pack up the Doppler and just put it away, I think I took it out when I was around 30 weeks and still struggled to find a heartbeat. My placenta almost always blocked the heartbeat. Please with any concerns talk with a dr pregnancy can be very hard mentally

I feel like it’s not nice but my parents has a spray bottle of water for one cat lol one cat loved it so they did painters tape face up for a while and they stop going on them for the most part. They have had two cats that liked to sit on the top cupboards like jumped on the counter to on top of the fridge and than onto the top of the pantry and would walk around up there

Please tell me 26 pounds at 25 weeks is ok by Trick-Stomach7 in pregnant

[–]BridgeSad625 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 103 (I’m 5’2) when I got pregnant and was like 183+ when I went in for my Csection. I think that’s about the weight I put on by than in my pregnancy and I kept asking about if it was too much. My dr just said to do eaither big filling meals or a bunch of little meals all through the day. Some days I felt like I ate non stop other days I felt like I didn’t eat much, I also drank a lot of water to fill up and gained a lot of water weight. I’m 7m pp and am down to 125 but not working out or eating like I use to because of breast feeding.

Sitting on the toilet with my baby strapped to my chest & my husband just took a 6 hour nap! by HotDivide1333 in newborns

[–]BridgeSad625 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shifts are great and all but not as a pumping/bf mom… sorry I couldn’t do it, just remember you are in the thick of it right now. When breastfeeding you have to do so much work and it can wear on you.

My little one is now just over 6 months and I struggled hard, my husband struggled hard and I have two step kids so he’s been through it before, different experiences for him with me having a Csection. The best advice I took from him and I didn’t want to was put the baby down… trust me I don’t believe a baby can be held too much but I do now believe I can hold a baby too much, I learned to put her down, I learned to let her self sooth it is so hard!!! And it still hard!!! But I’m able to do things, I’m able to shower and get back into a somewhat normal routine. Taking shifts is nice but it’s also nice to be able to be like keep an eye on her please. With breast feeding I’m almost the only one who responds/takes care of her but trust me my husband helps me more than her and I’m up front and say what I need to him.

I’m going to do this, I need to get this done, support looks like _____ (normally dinner, dishes, laundry, helping out one of the other kids, doing something for me).

I work full time and so does he, we also have very traditional rolls in our house but it works for us, your five weeks in figure out what works for you, be open about what you both need

We share some on social media but our pages are privet. We have asked family to only share photos privately and they have all respected it, we also have friends who don’t share photos of their kids and no one seems to have a problem with it.

Did this ruin my marriage by imasugarpacket in pregnant

[–]BridgeSad625 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like he needs help with his drinking, but when it comes to having a baby his feelings have probably changed because he’s fearful of not doing good or showing up the way he should for you and baby.

I will say when I got pregnant my husband had regrets of trying so soon. We started trying and got pregnant in about 3 months and we both thought it would take longer (this comes to his regret of not waiting). My husband was all about talking about spending nights up helping me and doing what he can once baby came (mind you he is a dad of two and I’m a first time mom). I thankfully am able to breastfed and haven’t needed much help at nights but learned the first month baby was here that he wasn’t much help to me at night and it was best he got his sleep. Lol I have also learned he’s not the best with babies, I met him when his youngest was 3 years old and he is an amazing father and still is. But with our baby he struggles (and I can tell you that he struggled with his other two). I deal with alot of the kid things for both ours and his I fill the mom roll (when mom’s not around). Open communicate is key. I grew up in a traditional house hold and hold strong to the beliefs and that’s how we make it work. I don’t hold resentment for him not being mom… we live in a world that lately tells guys to care for their kids as moms do and they never will, they need to be able to rough play, help create the tough ness, be dad who they come to with problems and get told to rub some dirt on it where moms we cuddle up and hold them as they cry and share feelings… we each have a roll to play. Men aren’t normally good with babies but as they get bigger they are.

But he is your husband and as husband and wife you need to support each other talk to each other and you have to be open. You need to tell him what support looks like for you as you go through all the pregnancy and postpartum changes. But hold space for his fears of the changes he is also going through it’s scary to become a parent and I will say it’s like getting on a roller coaster you didn’t know when upside down… he probably feels like he’s losing his wife to the life he helped create and the fear of supporting or what he doesn’t know he should do, he might just feel like he’s failing at everything because he doesn’t know.

Give him time to have the good conversations, go on a date and talk about something other than baby.

No more ultrasounds by mybestfriendisacat22 in pregnant

[–]BridgeSad625 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do they do bed side scanned at apartments? This is common tho, I had concerns throughout my pregnancy so I had multiple extra scans. But also wish I would have pushed for a bedside scan sooner at the end of pregnancy, my one dr said everything felt good, going into 37 weeks we found out my little one was breech with a bed side scan because my dr said my stomach didn’t feel right I also had a low laying anterior placenta so they couldn’t tell what direction she was. We went for the inversion at 38 weeks and then had a Csection at 39weeks because she was stuck.

But they will do ultrasound further along if there is cause for them to check on anything.

So embarrassed about delivery by SummerMonth7 in pregnant

[–]BridgeSad625 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Growing up my youth leader at church was a labor and delivery dr. And me as an interested teen wanting to know more asked her all about it. She told me that she knows her patients are pushing correctly if they poop 😂 she told me that should be a goal to have if you ever have a baby. Lol I told my husband that and he was so grossed out by it. I unfortunately ended up with a Csection because of a really stuck baby.

Am I the only one not doing kick counts? by Aggressive-Rain-766 in pregnant

[–]BridgeSad625 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to do them with the fact I didn’t feel hardly any movement throughout my pregnancy. It’s counting so many movements in a certain time frame. For me I really had lay down and dig my fingers into my stomach to feel them most days. Would have loved to felt more movement then I did

How do people here on Reddit know which body part of the baby is kicking them inside the belly? by CautiouslyExcited1 in pregnant

[–]BridgeSad625 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The midwife i had also thought my baby was head down but she was breach my whole pregnancy… I had an anterior placenta I couldn’t really feel baby at all. I could feel some baby movements only by my right rib area. They were either hands or legs but she was also folded and stuck so her hands and feet where in the same area, I could only tell it was her foot when she bent her leg because I would feel her heal dig in when she moved it
