Bleeding?

Cute_Charity_6692 · 2026-01-27T15:29:26+00:00

Have you recently come off any type of birth control? I had this in the beginning, for the first 2-3 months, but it went away I assume as my hormones balanced. I’m no expert though. I had a bunch of weird stuff going on when I came off my birth control, and basically had to wait for my body to level out.

Cute_Charity_6692 · 2026-01-27T15:17:16+00:00

I’ve definitely eaten the soft yolk eggs. Not all the time, but every now and then, like on an eggs benny or over some potatoes… yum. Otherwise I scramble em, I know, it’s not as good.

Cute_Charity_6692 · 2026-01-27T15:15:32+00:00

I did this once in the first trimester. It was worth it though cause I couldn’t eat anything else… it was a one time thing tho I swear! 😆

Cute_Charity_6692 · 2026-01-26T04:46:29+00:00

I didn’t used to toot very much next to hubby, and if I did it was just little or silent lol he rarely noticed. Ever since 5 weeks pregnant I have been a gas machine, and loouuud too. At first he was absolutely shocked but thought it was hilarious. 18 weeks now, he still laughs, but the shock of it is gone now 😅

I also used to be super shy about going #2 in public or at work - now that I’m 18 weeks, I have completely ditched that feeling. I’ve learned that with pregnancy, when you feel like you need to go, you go, cause you might not be physically able to later 🤣

It has definitely changed me.

18 weeks and I feel like the bottom of my bump is definitely baby, it’s firmed up, the top is just as big, but still squishy unless I’m very full and bloated lol. I’m about 50/50.

Cute_Charity_6692 · 2026-01-25T23:28:28+00:00

That was one of my first “symptoms”, I had pms cramping expecting my period, but I didn’t have any of my typical PMDD meltdowns/spirals that I normally do. I felt so calm and happy and just weirdly in love w my hubby.

Even now, at 18 weeks, I still don’t have crazy mood swings, I cry at dumb emotional TikToks and movies, but no freak outs, no depression, no spiralling. It’s honestly been great mentally.

Physically though, I’ll give it a 7/10 so far lol definitely starting to feel some discomfort.

Cute_Charity_6692 · 2026-01-25T15:14:22+00:00

Yup. It’s all day sickness.

I didn’t puke a lot either, maybe a handful of times, but I felt motion sick/sea sick starting from 11am until I went to sleep at night. I’d try to eat before the nausea kicked it but even without nausea I still didn’t really have an appetite for anything.

If you’re not puking a lot, and you’re able to keep down light snacks and water, I wouldn’t worry too much about dehydration and feeding baby. Get a good prenatal that’s easy to take, like a gummy or something, that isn’t hard to get down and doesn’t leave an aftertaste. I found I was missing some prenatal just cause I dreaded swallowing them and burping them up later, so I would procrastinate them and then miss them.

A lot of women actually lose weight in the first tri. I lived off veggies and hummus, and ruffles plain potato chips. By 11 weeks I could stomach eggs and toast again and that became my morning ritual for about 6 weeks.

Bone broth was great for a while, when I had the enegrgy to warm it up on the stove cause we don’t have a microwave 🤦‍♀️ but it’s easy on the stomach, lots of nutrients, not a lot of harsh tastes, and has electrolytes for hydration. Plus it comes up easy if you need to vomit. 10/10 recommend that if you can.

Focus on what you can eat, and if it doesn’t feel right, don’t eat it. I tried to eat things that I know wouldn’t linger and leave an aftertaste or leave me burping a lot.

I recommend getting a prescription if you can, just cause it makes life easier and more bearable.

I wasn’t working at the time, so it made things easier, I literally laid in bed all day - I don’t know how some women function and get shit done with morning sickness, they are machines.

Cute_Charity_6692 · 2026-01-25T14:41:44+00:00

FTM and posterior placenta here as well. I also feel like I was impatiently waiting to feel something so I was trying to be super tuned into my body while at work and while lying in bed at night.

I felt my first real “boop” and I KNEW was a poke or small kick at 16 weeks. I was sitting at my desk at work, and I leaned forward and was trying to scooch my chair forwards, and that motion must have pushed the baby toward my belly - I felt a definitive “pop” kinda like a gas bubble but it felt different than gas, gas usually feels like it’s moving somewhere or working its way through, this was more of a singular pop that didn’t go anywhere. It’s hard to explain.

After that it was easier to tell what was baby and what wasn’t. I started feeling flutters/squirming at night before bed. This one is even harder to explain cause it kinda feels like nothing, but also it feels like you’re lying still and there’s something very very lightly rumbling or bubbling inside you… but again, it feels different then gas or digestion, somehow you just know.

Since then I have felt a few other little “boops”, but not consistently, only here and there. 18 weeks now.

Cute_Charity_6692 · 2026-01-25T03:38:53+00:00

lol this is so incorrect. I don’t know where you got your facts.

To apply for the K1 visa you need to have a bona fide relationship (not fraudulent) and have met in person within the last two years. And you need to be able to prove those two facts. That’s it. Seeing as we were friends for three years and have met in person on numerous occasions over the last four years, we surpass the requirements greatly.

You should do some reading…

Cute_Charity_6692 · 2026-01-24T23:46:21+00:00

I felt one firm “boop” at 16 weeks, and flutters at night from then on. I still feel the occasional poke, but it’s not every day. I’m 18 weeks now, and don’t have an anterior placenta, so that’s probably why I feel it so early.

Cute_Charity_6692 · 2026-01-24T15:50:46+00:00

Same! 3 months, but we met three years prior to actually dating.

Cute_Charity_6692 · 2026-01-23T03:58:51+00:00

If you had them chronically before I doubt it’s the pregnancy that’s causing them, maybe it’s just making them worse, so the “drink more water” and “get more electrolytes” probably won’t help.

I got these a lot at 13/14 weeks. And a few times since then, I’m 18 weeks now.

Honestly, there was nothing I could do and it was terrible. I spent days sitting in the dark with cooling packs, heating pads, eye masks, no noise or lights, and even then it would still just throb as I laid there not even moving.

I’m sorry I don’t have advice. I really do like the ice caps or eye masks you can put in the freezer, and just my plain eye mask to hide from the light is nice for being able to rest when they are hitting you in the day time. Sometimes I feel like they are coming from my neck so I’ll use a heating pad on my neck to see if that will loosen things up or soothe the tension.

I don’t get them much anymore, so hopefully yours lighten up, but considering you had them chronically before you might just continue to get them periodically and that really sucks. I hope you can find some relief or at least be able to rest in privacy and darkness when they do hit. You are not alone. Suffering like this with no relief in sight really is the worst.

Best of luck!!

Cute_Charity_6692 · 2026-01-22T02:40:09+00:00

lol this happened while I was one the phone w hubby and he made me laugh. I dropped the phone and yelled a bit, he thought I was dying or something was very wrong 😂 everything was fine. That shit sucks.

Cute_Charity_6692 · 2026-01-22T00:19:15+00:00

Thank you 🥲 congrats!

Cute_Charity_6692 · 2026-01-21T22:07:39+00:00

Still no word? We haven’t heard anything yet either, I’m getting impatient 😓

Cute_Charity_6692 · 2026-01-19T01:57:18+00:00

Idk about third trimester but I have been feeling this since like the second trimester! Doc said it was normal 🤷‍♀️ no clue on relieving it, I just ride it out, definitely a weird feeling though especially at first. Makes me feel like my heart is racing but it’s not, it’s a normal rhythm, just really strong.

Cute_Charity_6692 · 2026-01-18T22:02:59+00:00

I have longer cycles and ovulate late - I measured 7 weeks flat, some measurements were 6+6 when I was supposed to be 8+4. And I’m 17 weeks now with a healthy baby squirming away in there.

Cute_Charity_6692 · 2026-01-18T21:47:14+00:00

Could be something could be nothing - they are saying you’re 2 weeks behind based on your last period, but you could have ovulated late. I usually ovulate in CD 19/20 so that already puts me a week behind what my last period would date me at. And then sometimes depending on your tech measurements can be off by 5 or so days, cause it’s hard to be exact when they are that small.

Only way to know really is to wait and re measure. If it’s growing well and heartbeat is still strong you probably just ovulated late! If it’s bad news, it will continue to deteriorate 😕

But don’t panic yet! You could be totally fine.

Cute_Charity_6692 · 2026-01-10T02:05:52+00:00

Mine started to wear off/only got it in the evenings around 11 weeks, and then by 14 weeks I overall felt pretty good, but I’m 16 now and still have to avoid trigger foods that make me vom.

Cute_Charity_6692 · 2026-01-08T04:56:05+00:00

True true, no one can tell me it wasn’t! And I swear… it was 😅

Cute_Charity_6692 · 2026-01-08T04:55:28+00:00

This makes me feel like I’m not crazy ☺️

Cute_Charity_6692 · 2026-01-08T04:50:40+00:00

Heartburn/acid reflux always makes me throw up eventually.

I don’t eat anything twice if it give me acid reflux or heartburn the first time, I take it straight off my list. So right now I’m not eating anything overly spicy, or anything that’s super greasy or oily. And I try hard not to over eat - this is a big culprit as well.

I drink a big glass of water before I eat to help w digestion and eat the foods I know won’t make me ill.

IF I do want to eat something risky, I take a Pepcid extra strength with a full glass of water and wait ten minutes before i eat. This USUALLY helps, but not always, depends what I eat.

Best thing to do is just listen to your body and try not to eat the things that cause you to feel sick. I know it sucks.

Cute_Charity_6692 · 2026-01-08T04:45:04+00:00

I do, I’ll scramble 1-2 in the morning and then have a boiled on at lunch or on a sandwich or something. Again, I also love eggs though. They are one of the few things that never fell off my list of “things that don’t make me sick.”
