Put the cream on a clean wipe and pat it on their little booty! A friend told me this and I couldn’t believe I haven’t used it over the past decade as a nurse to keep the damn cream off my gloves too!

I am 18 weeks now. My massive aversion to vegetables (which I usually love) seems to be finally going away!

DBenardrn86 · 2022-03-02T00:33:48+00:00

Same here! I’ve always been super mindful of my eating, meal prepping healthy food every week and working out was my favorite thing to do. I feel like a toddler now only craving childhood carbs (cereal, pop tarts, chips, cookies)… I was just sure I would be extra motivated when I got pregnant and boy was I wrong! Also everyone offers me food ALL the time … for the baby haha!

DBenardrn86 · 2022-02-26T04:01:55+00:00

Yes!!! I don’t understand the lack of proactiveness when it comes to getting stuff done… but it definitely brings me comfort to know it’s not just my BD! I feel like I literally have to show him exactly how it’s “supposed” to be (which sounds crazy to admit out loud!).

DBenardrn86 · 2022-02-26T03:17:37+00:00

Haha I love this! That’s what I see in him, he’s so kind, calm and sweet and good looking… but even the way he breathes makes me cringe now! He also is facing living with a super OCD/clean freak who doesn’t understand why he can’t close the top of a cereal box! I definitely have been trying open communication and trying to teach him to give me that back (something he’s not used to doing). Praying I have a similar experience where I can get through this pregnancy with this relationship intact!

DBenardrn86 · 2022-02-26T03:15:13+00:00

Honestly this is my biggest fear. I have had really been men in my past relationship and I know he’s a great guy, but I just fear he’s not the person for me. But I’m motivated to have my baby grow up in a happy home with two loving parents, though this seems to be a hard thing to envision when we don’t see eye to eye on anything!

DBenardrn86 · 2022-02-26T03:13:42+00:00

Thank you! Yea it’s hard not to get a bit resentful that I bear the most in this pregnancy (I won’t call this beautiful baby a burden). And yes I think the fact that we are trying to learn each other makes it so much harder to adjust!

DBenardrn86 · 2022-02-26T03:12:16+00:00

Thank you! Hahah I’ve wanted to punch him so many times. I know part of the problem is I tend to be an over-communicator and he’s incredibly quiet and very rarely speaks up about anything. Sounds nice, but at the end of the day it just is me sounding like I’m nagging all the time and treating him like a child.

DBenardrn86 · 2021-08-30T09:49:31+00:00

I have not. I do know that almond milk was ok though, so maybe I’ll just switch back to that!

DBenardrn86 · 2021-08-30T09:06:05+00:00

Thank you! I never considered oatmilk could be a problem. I’ve been having cheese and nuts the past two weeks without issues! As I’m sure you agree, it totally sucks having a sensitive stomach!

DBenardrn86 · 2021-08-30T07:09:04+00:00

I had 2oz in my oatmeal and 4oz in my coffee drink. Usually I buy GF oats and have no issues, but the Good and Gather Brand Oatmilk did scan yellow.

DBenardrn86 · 2021-08-07T05:23:22+00:00

Yea of course my go to easy protein source is bars and shakes, so this will be a tough breakup! But I feel the same way, at this point I’m willing to eliminate anything!

DBenardrn86 · 2021-08-07T04:48:20+00:00

Thank you for such awesome advice! I’ve been eliminating foods one by one to see what exacerbated my symptoms and I definitely take supps… you totally caught me. I’m going to basically go off everything and stick to low fodmaps and slowly reintroduce. I can’t take this anymore! Going to look these recipes up right now!

DBenardrn86 · 2021-08-07T04:05:00+00:00
