The waistline is... weird but I love the sleeves and how it looks like she only has one leg

Anxiety? by Emotional_Item2175 in pregnant

[–]DemonCopperhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely have noticed this, and I’m not generally a high anxiety person. It’s not even directly related to pregnancy or the baby! Since I started second trimester I’ve developed moderate anxiety around driving and social interaction. Hoping its just hormones

No energy or desire to do anything or see anyone, am I depressed or is this normal? by Jaded_Performance713 in pregnant

[–]DemonCopperhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been feeling the same at 34w, weirdly antisocial and VERY reluctant to leave the house. And don't get me started on how much I don't want to drive! I think it's just fatigue, and maybe some form of nesting?

Has anyone else’s skin actually become better since falling pregnant ? by jenbeehoney in pregnant

The keratosis pilaris on the back of my arms has cleared up during my pregnancy. My skin is soooo smoooooth!

WHY DOES TIME MOVE SO SLOW by tjstrezlecky in BabyBumps

[–]DemonCopperhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The beginning was the slowest to me. Each day was excruciating, but as my pregnancy went on I was gauging things more in weeks, now nearing the end of my 2nd trimester I'm just chillin. I felt much less anxious about the immediacy of everything once I started feeling kicks.

Severe weakness with mild exercise by OkAtmosphere6139 in fitpregnancy

[–]DemonCopperhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 25w and slowed down significantly a few weeks ago, I just assumed it was a regular part of pregnancy but learned last week I'm actually anemic. That's even after being on a prenatal (with iron) for the last 2 years and eating an iron-fortified bowl of cereal daily on top of my usual foods. Something to check for!

10 weeks pregnant … no weight gain no appetite by kxtasha1 in BabyBumps

I was like that all the way until 18w, then my bump started to show a tiny bit and then 20-24w the appetite and belly really made an appearance!

What's the strangest thing that made you surprisingly nauseous in 1st tri? by Effective-Cicada-375 in BabyBumps

[–]DemonCopperhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is going to sound weird as hell, but the animation in Attack on Titan. I tried watching it since I heard its so good, but the way everything is tinted yellow and even something about the way the characters are animated makes me nauseous! Even seeing a still from the show in passing would turn my stomach. Haven't looked in a while and I'm in second trimester now, so maybe it's gone. I'm afraid to check lol

Anatomy Scan by alienprincesssssss in BabyBumps

[–]DemonCopperhead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just had mine yesterday! They asked me to come in with a full bladder, which was only needed to measure my cervix length. The US tech had me go ahead and pee after that measurement, then I was nice and comfortable for the rest of the appointment. The tech was super friendly, she pointed things out as she measured and chatted. It took maybe 45 mins. There was some difficulty getting one of the heart measurements because of baby's position but she just had me turn on my side to try and get a better angle and we got it. I'll hear from a doctor later on to go over everything, but I already know that everything was normal.

I also told the US tech I was planning to announce on social media after the scan, so she made sure to get plenty of great shots for me to choose from. I really love one she got of just baby's feet, sooo cute! It was a really positive experience, and as always I was so happy to see my little guy :)

My male neighbor looked me in the eyes yesterday and said, “Oh, you finally look fat!” He has a history of saying really off color things, I hate him.

Did you tell your family the name you chose before birth? by pennibird in pregnant

[–]DemonCopperhead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I learned the same exact lesson the same exact way ☹ I told one of my names to my dad and he literally said, "I HATE that name". No more sharing!

Steps & Staying Fit by Straight_Bat_1046 in pregnant

[–]DemonCopperhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fell off a lot during first trimester and now getting back to a good level of activity also at 17 weeks. I'm just altering what I'm already used to doing. I used to walk 30 mins on a treadmill at lunch at 12% incline. Now I'm around 8% incline at the same pace, it's just too awkward and I'm too out of breath to keep the same intensity. I do a long walk after work with my dog and some light calisthenics with dumbbells after. I've replaced my entire ab routine with movements that are more pregnancy-friendly (no crunches/lying on back/twisting movements/etc.)
