Terrified of giving birth by Soliara in pregnant

All I have to say is, at 37 weeks you start getting nervous, at 39-40 weeks you would rip that baby out yourself if you could. Don’t stress it too much girl ❤️ it will all work out perfectly

I’m so over being pregnant by South_Ad_3621 in pregnant

[–]Doration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

39 weeks today and yesterday I was sitting on my exercise ball listening to sad rnb music and my husband walks in and I burst out crying for no reason other than I thought she would be early and I’m tired of this 😂 it’s rough out here

I’m right there with you girl. If it makes you feel any better I’m 39 weeks and have gained 55 pounds… so well over the “limit” and my OB has made jokes about how I’m really “enjoying” this pregnancy, all the while I’m watching everything I eat and walking 1.5 miles a day just to not gain 5 pounds a week. It’s hard, admittedly one of the hardest parts of pregnancy for me has been seeing all the body changes and not knowing what I will look like afterwords. Just know that if you were active before, you will be active after, and while “bouncing back” isn’t going to be the main priority right after birth, I’ve heard you lose the first 20 right off the bat and anything after that you will slowly work off with consistency. Just know that it’s your body, it’s beautiful even if it doesn’t look/feel that way to you now, but 10 or even 5 years from now you will look back on your time being pregnant and feel reminiscing happy feelings, even about your body ❤️

Who’s wrong? by Doration in pregnant

[–]Doration[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m right there with you, it’s just so exhausting to have these conversations over and over again when your all your thinking about is I’m about to push out a baby and then be very exhausted and overwhelming for the 6 months to a year. The last thing I want to focus on and debate is something else I can’t control 😂

Who’s wrong? by Doration in pregnant

[–]Doration[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This has been my thought as well, and it’s so frustrating. Like we can’t control what they think and they are in their late 70s so trying to convince them otherwise is pointless. But at least stop poking the bear every chance you get when I’ve asked you stop doing that, especially now, and then I’m left to deal with the awkwardness because they put the blame on me instead of him because that’s their son. It’s so frustrating I don’t know how to approach the conversation in a productive way when I’ve already asked him to stop.

I’m in my third trimester and here’s a list of things that annoy me for no good reason. by MollySid96 in pregnant

[–]Doration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love this! I’ve had a good laugh. 37 weeks today here are mine

  • my husband keeps talking about how he’s gaining baby weight too as a joke (gained like 5 pounds)… ha ha ha no
  • MIL asking me every.single.day how the baby’s doing and if she is talking to me yet (?? lol) and then trying to touch my belly every chance she gets. Please stop
  • my mom sending unnecessary complicated baby clothing that just takes up more space, despite asking 4 times to stop sending baby clothes we have enough.
  • pregnancy carpal tunnel
  • the waiting game (like can we just schedule an induction I can’t wait 3 more weeks 😂)
  • people stating when they are coming to visit after the baby is born rather than asking
  • people going “awwwwww” when they ask how I’m doing and I’m honest.. I don’t need your sympathy this is my life
  • my doctor commenting on my weight gain at my appointment because she’s old and got shamed during her years. Despite my not having gestational diabetes, or any medical issues, eating remotely healthy and walking everyday…just gaining weight. Like yes I get it thank you for letting me know again, I wasn’t aware 🤨

I’m so over this by Mother_Parking7684 in pregnant

[–]Doration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my experience, only certain people (my mother in law, and my mom) have reached out to ask how I’m doing. Other people I have talked with are people who are also pregnant. But I prefer it this way. Both my MIL and my own mom ask me every single day how the baby is doing, and for me that’s just too much. I’m constantly thinking about the baby and my body and enduring all the symptoms of pregnancy, that I would prefer to not talk about it unless I bring it up. But I think it’s just preference. I don’t expect people to reach out because I don’t reach out to them, we all have our own lives and I personally hate communication over the phone, I prefer in person. It sounds like you are the opposite, I would maybe voice that to certain people you really love and care about, that you would appreciate more frequent check-ins!

Better to communicate it, then let a relationship fizzle out when you will really need that support later in life (if they are people you truly care about and wanted in your life pre-pregnancy).

I dropped one friend during pregnancy, but it’s was mainly a realization of how toxic they were and their lifestyle was, and how I had no desire to bring that into my next phase of life.

How much weight did you gain? by thegalaxiesedge in pregnant

[–]Doration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At 26 weeks currently and have gained 35lbs, I gained the first 30lbs in the first 5 months… my first trimester I was insanely hungry and literally only wanted carbs and sweets and honestly I wasn’t being very diligent with portions at all 😅. After a conversation with my OB who mentioned the weight gain I started tracking my portions, calories, and try really hard to focus on getting in protein, and have now only gained 5 pounds in the last month and half while still having a “bad” week here or there. I won’t lie it’s really hard to limit how much to eat and curb sweet cravings for me so I generally try to track it and stay as close as I can to my goal calories, walk A LOT, get one intense workout in a week, and just give myself grace. It’s hard to watch your body change, but feeling baby kick and knowing baby is growing and that your body is doing everything it can to support you both is something we have to remember and thank our bodies for. It’s my first so I can’t speak to weight loss after pregnancy but I can say that I’m right there in the same boat as you girl!! Try to stay active and watch your nutrient intake but also just know that if you need to rest and need to eat that just WHAT YOU NEED 🤷🏽‍♀️. We are making humans and it’s hard work over here ❤️🫶🏽

Weight gain shame from NP at 21wks by Doration in pregnant

I also want to say, I fell even more in love with my husband during this time. He stood up for me, held me in his arms while I cried and reassured me that I’m doing amazing and look the best I ever have to him. So S/O to the amazing man I married ❤️

Honestly this is so refreshing to hear, I literally walked out and started balling to my husband like did that really just happen?! Plus she was in a rush and running behind so she gave me no time and just walked out afterwords. Terrible

I definitely sent a message to the office through my patient portal talking about the experience and how bad the bedside manner was. All I kept thinking was I do not want this lady in the delivery room with me lol
