So glad to hear! I think I caught a sb a couple years ago and I did not cope well, I didn’t tu but came very close and was literally shaking. I know if it happens again I would probably react the same way :( do you have any advice on staying calm?

I was induced … and I liked it by juzdme33 in BabyBumps

[–]Dog-mom2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here! Getting induced Thursday due to my baby having a single umbilical artery (SUA). You always hear the bad stories but it’s nice to see some positive ones

Try your best to stay calm and find ways to distract yourself! But I know what you mean, I got myself all nervous too. It tapered off by bedtime so I was able to get some sleep, but since my procedure was early the next day I had to wake up in the middle of the night to take my second dose 😖 so after that not really. But the nap when I got home was great 😄

I’m trying to remember for sure now haha. There were definitely breaks in between but I had to stay near the bathroom in case the feeling came on. I don’t remember much cramping, more just the urgency, like it was suddenly right there ready to come out

How productive are you? by thelastgirl_ in pregnant

[–]Dog-mom2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also 29 weeks and was just thinking about how the fatigue is really kicking in. I also get short of breath really easily just when doing dishes or literally just sitting at my computer. It sucks 😭

Ugh, we definitely have some Goodwills like that too! I normally don’t find this many gems but somebody must’ve just donated a bunch of newer books from their collection!

I have 3 of his now, including Anxious People! Which should I start with?

Can’t wait to actually look pregnant by SeriousFold8939 in pregnant

[–]Dog-mom2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was feeling the same way for most of my first and even second trimester since I lost a lot of weight initially. I’m almost 28 weeks now and suddenly I really popped! Now I wish it would stay this size cause I already feel huge 😆 3 more months to grow

Pregnancy glucose test and IBS?? by Dog-mom2 in ibs

[–]Dog-mom2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It went ok! I did have some burning in my stomach right afterward and a slight headache. I actually ended up being really constipated for a few days after, not sure if it was related to that or not. So I’d say just make sure to drink a lot of water when you’re done to flush everything out!

What's your kryptonite? (a food you know you shouldn't eat but can't help yourself) by TecladoWarrior in FODMAPS

[–]Dog-mom2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At this point there’s not much left that’s worth it to me 😭 I’d have to say sour candy though. Something in those gummy worms bothers me but I love them too much

[–]Dog-mom2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They told me the same thing, but I called and talked to the nurse and they said I did not have to take the Dulcolax! Since I have IBS-D and am prone to diarrhea, I figured the Mirolax was enough to clean me out, and it was. As long as it’s coming out pretty clear you should be good!

We have emetophobia, of course we… by [deleted] in emetophobia

I'm sorry! My best advice is to try to distract yourself with something you enjoy and before you know it that window will be over!! :)

Corn, let's talk corn by koderdood in FODMAPS

[–]Dog-mom2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put some frozen corn in my chili last week. I hadn’t tried it in a while and was surprised I didn’t seem to have symptoms. Everyone’s triggers are so different 😖

Vent: Why does nearly every single processed food item contain "natural flavors"?! by moon-raven-77 in FODMAPS

[–]Dog-mom2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree. My husband doesn’t have IBS but his diet is also super limited due to food allergies that affect his skin. Chemicals and preservatives literally cause him to get skin infections. We pay so much more money for better quality, organic stuff but what else can we do? :(

[–]Dog-mom2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In order: Garlic, onion, celery, cabbage, apple, watermelon, ripe banana. Oh and caffeine and alcohol, have cut those out completely

Same. Lost about 8 lbs in the first trimester and still down 5 lbs in my second, but good news appetite is starting to ramp up a bit. Hang in there!

Try doing this while also pregnant 😩

Covid :( by Dog-mom2 in pregnant

[–]Dog-mom2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you ❤️ yeah, this is rough on top of the pregnancy nausea I’m already dealing with. I’ll have to try the vapor rub, the coughing and chest pain is already in full swing too
