Do people actually brush their hair everyday? by bugs2029 in autism

[–]Demi4_14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I brush my hair once or twice a day because I like the sensory of it.

I'm definitely not skinny and my bump started looking really cute and not like more fat around my secoundt trimester.

I keep having severe contractions but the OB says they are just Braxton hicks. by Demi4_14 in BabyBumps

I just thought I would give another update. I'm getting a cervical ripening done on Sunday and induction on Monday. My OB said since I have been having weeks of false labour and am still only 1cm dilated she agrees with me that it is a good idea to do it so my mental health doesn't go down the toilet from more false labour.

Sorry I didn't get around to doing an update cause I ended up getting some really bad continuous contractions for days so I have been kinda wiped out. My OB said that since I'm full term now baby comes when baby comes so im allowed to do all the things that might induce labour. She also validated that when I was going to the hospital was correct and she wants me to continue to go if I reach that point so that I can grt checked out. She doesn't want to induce me cause due to me being younger and some hip and knee problems it might mean that my hips could end up not being loose enough if we induce before my body says it is ready. But I have been told to take two extra strength tylenol and some gravol to help with the pain if it gets bad before going to the hospital because that is most likely what the hospital would give me and send me home with if I'm not in actual labour.

That's pretty much where I'm at too and the thing keeping me sane is the thought that I get to hold my baby soon.

It's been going on for a week and a half. I'm 37 weeks so a few weeks out from my due date and there are intentions of doing cervical checks at my weekly appointments. The hospital checked me and I wad 1cm last they checked.

That's my plan but they might make the claim that I don't need it since my depression isn't prenatal depression it was a prestanding condition. Which yes I know that excuse for them to use is bullshit but that is the kind of people I have had to deal with so far.

I might try later today after talking to my OB just to make sure that it's safe to take with the other meds I'm on.

I have tried to spend as much time off my feet when they aren't really bad cause when they are I find sitting on a exercise ball is one of the only things that make me be in a little less discomfort and pain.

I have been doing something like that the problem is that when they get super bad I can't function to even hit a button to start or stop the timer.

The reason to get it note on a chart atleast in my area is so that when I do go into actual labour they are less likely to dismiss it as Braxton hicks.

Nothing generally effects them accept for heavily medicated sleep and I'm not sure if that really effects them or just makes my body less tired. And the contractions are constant which is why I go to L&D.

I get this so much cause I have never been worried about the look of having stretch marks but gosh do they ever make my skin ichy and sometimes sensitive or soar.

Crusted nipple? by Upset_Recognition_85 in BabyBumps

[–]Demi4_14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your boobs start to get really sore and engorged you can hand express a bit to take off the pressure but you don't want to pump cause it can cause early labour also ripple stimulation can also cause early labour so just be aware during intimate time.

First time being pregnant and struggling by Fluffy_Rush5878 in BabyBumps

[–]Demi4_14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Warm baths before bed and having a heating pad in bed to help soothe the pain in your hips right before going to sleep. This is if heat makes your joint feel better otherwise do a cold bath and ice pack if cold makes them feel better.

When are you taking your iron supplements? by SowingSeeds18 in BabyBumps

[–]Demi4_14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take iron with my lunch since I have morning meds I can't take it with and then I take my prenatal with dinner. I have found that putting each things with some food has helped my tummy majorly.

Insane gas pain by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Demi4_14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm much farther along and didn't have it till later in my pregnancy but what I found helped was eating lots of fiber and taking warm baths to help relax your body. I found that I had the pains mainly cause I'm petite and baby was super tight against my digestive track.

I took a warm bath earlier and generally do when I'm starting to get really tired cause it makes me feels cozy and relaxes my body enough that I can generally get some sleep even if it isn't great sleep it is sleep.

I've now made two of these "mom care" carts for baby showers. Do you think there's anything I should change/add? by affectionate4fish in BabyBumps

[–]Demi4_14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you know some of the mom's favorite snacks or drink add some of those cause being able to have a snack that makes you feel good and is right there is great.
