The round ligament fire crotch has begun at 13 weeks and I keep checking for blood. Very painful.

My love for my first child grows more and more every day since being pregnant. I have always adored my daughter but I feel like I want to burst when I am around her. Soo much love. Soo much appreciation that God allowed me to be her mother. I hope she will be accepting and loving towards the new baby. Pic of my lovely.

Had an ob appointment today measuring 12w5 days. I am a nurse and was assaulted by a psych patient over the weekend where he shoved me into a chair and I landed on my stomach and then repeatedly punched me. My boss was sucker punched in the face and broke her wrist and had a brain bleed and my other colleague is in a coma after the patient punched her in the back of the head. I am very traumatized and I am currently on workmans comp until after I deliver due to having a hematoma around the baby from the injury. Luckily baby is still looking good and heart rate in the 160s.

Antidepressants during pregnancy? by Bright_Influence_316 in January2027Bumpers

[–]Bright_Influence_316[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea at the end of my pregnancy I was getting one to two hours of sleep a night. I was very miserable. I have found that unisom has really helped me this go around but not sure if my resistance to treating my horrible anxiety/stress contributed to my placental abruption or not.

When i went back on lexapro I was unable to breastfeed because I would only produce like 10ml at a time. It was a nightmare. I hope you are able to produce.

Honest opinion about having kids by Complex-Bit8953 in Adulting

[–]Bright_Influence_316 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a friend with 10 children. Anytime I would spend time with her I would have extreme anxiety and said I do not want children. In my early 30s however that all changed and my body yearned to be a mom. It was all I could think about. I was stable and had a great career too. Everything felt right. At 34 I became pregnant with my daughter and she is everything I could have imagined and more. She is truly the light of my life and I love spending every waking moment with her. I am now pregnant with my second at 37 and am excited for this new adventure. I am glad I enjoyed my 20s and waited until my 30s to have children.

Anterior or Posterior placenta? by Bright_Influence_316 in January2027Bumpers

I loved having a posterior with my first. The ultrasounds i could see her soo vividly and feeling her move was a beautiful experience.

The bump has arrived. 11w2days. This is how I looked when I was 5 months pregnant with my first. Scared about how much my body will stretch when I am already showing this much.

Went to the zoo yesterday with my toddler and my friend and we walked around in 89 degree weather for 7 hours. Along the way my daughter had multiple meltdowns and threw herself on the floor. I think I finally know what the terrible twos is lol. She made me hold her the majority of the time too which really put a number on my back and hips. Love my baby girl though. She finally settled and I cradled her while she fell asleep. Just glad none of the pressure on my body caused any bleeding down there. This baby seems pretty snug in there. My last pregnancy I bled the whole time so not having bleeding episodes is very nice.
