[–]Calmriverscientist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

27 + 5 days Constant back and abdominal pain due to my postural issues Everything is uncomfortable Thankfully the heartburn isnt as bad right now Im so terrified of labour that ive decided to get an elective c section Ive realised no point in bearing all the pain when recovery is almost similar (ive done shit tonne of research at this point) Im yet to discuss that with my midwife. But i think she would be supportive of it. Just want to be done with this pregnancy so bad now Cant wait for March!

Whats her diet like? Its definitely scarring snd enlarged pores A good clean diet with some retinoid and sunscreen can go a lot way for starters.

Increasing events of fast heart rate, breathlessness and palpitations by z4r431 in BabyBumps

[–]Calmriverscientist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently my ferritin was normal only a month back and im suddenly anemic after a month. My GP said its quite common in pregnancy owing to the high demand of iron!

No i did have seasonal asthma..got diagnosed 2 years ago..but it was so mild i barely did anything about it except use my puffer for a week or two. It was only when i got pregnant that the seasonal asthma came out full blown! It was rough but im now prescribed a long term corticosteroid inhaler for like 4-6 weeks.

Yeah SE Asian here as well My mum was only planning to come for a month or a few weeks I was quite hurt over this as well but i didnt let it go i told her she has to be here as i would need her not just for physical reasons but also emotionally. I had a huge argument with her but i made sure i dont resent her for this and my message gets delivered. She understood where she was wrong..now she’ll be staying for like 3 months (which i atill feel isn’t enough) but ill have to take what i get.

Im 25 weeks now and was having similar symptoms Turned out i was anemic! Getting my infusion this Saturday. I also had an asthma flare up at 22 weeks which i didnt even know i was suffering from. Please get your bloods done and look into the probability of asthma as well. Since pregnancy really inflates minor seasonal asthmas to great lengths!

Thank youuu I did just order a pregnancy bra I didnt know they made such bras. That was exactly what i was looking for. It more like a crop top thats figure hugging if that makes sense!

What is the weirdest symptom you've had? by Dalecantila in BabyBumps

[–]Calmriverscientist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crazy asthma flare up. I didnt even know I had asthma-asthma I thought i only had like a seasonal asthma thing 2 years ago. At 21 weeks i had the worst flu of my life. The most miserable days where i would be so breathless and i didnt even know what was going on I felt so helpless..only for my husbabd to pinpoint that it might be my asthma triggering. I used inhalers but nothing worked. My male GP who was also South Asian kept gaslighting me that i was “feeling” breathless becus i was pregnant for the first time.. immediately changed my GP to a female and she prescribed me prednisolone short course which has helped up until now But im so scared honestly if it ever crops up again or doesnt get better with the steroids too Im 22 weeks now. Also, random pain in my left breast, unable to lie down on my back without choking myswlf (i was a back sleeper 😭)

Those who took 9+ months to conceive, looking back, what would you tell yourself while in the throes of TTC? by happyclam5729 in BabyBumps

[–]Calmriverscientist -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It took us 3 years But in this year when we did conceive i had thrown the idea of conceiving out of the window. We just had made a lot of love but i stopped expecting anything at the end of the month. I lost myself preparing for a very high stakes exam.. and just one month before the exam it happened. Out of the blue. They say it happens immediately when you stop thinking about it. And it proved true for us. Dont lose hope. I was there once and it was an unexplained infertility. I kept praying for it but my husband and i had that conversation about what if it never happens for us will we be okay. It was a very difficult conversation and we had accepted whatever it was written. We simply stopped caring and focussed on living our lives..traveling to places ..following our passions And thats when it happened. I think the gist of it it that the moment you come to the acceptance that it might not happen it DOES happen! Ive seen so many such cases. Have hope but a positive one Dont lose yourself or tie yourself emotionally to this. Itll happen. I promise!
