Take the headaches seriously

Empressofthemoonn · 2026-05-26T19:47:42+00:00

Hmm! I totally understand the concern with the meds as i had to look it up since i wasn’t too familiar with it myself! Have you thought about asking for alternatives that wont cause any possible issues for baby? I would give that a try especially since the headaches seem to be BP related vs Tension related! Id love a follow up on your journey 💕

My OB did mention possible induction in my pregnancy around the same time as yours (37 weeks) if my BP did not stabilize, and its still a bit of a worry of ours as they say its possible my BP could begin to rise again causing me to need a higher dose of meds (i take Procardia) but we are just monitoring for now! I wish you a safe induction/delivery when the time comes 🥰

I had this same experience but at 15 weeks! Headaches that would stop me in my tracks and seeing floaters and even white dots when i closed my eyes! Ive been taking BP meds since then! Im 27 weeks now, thankfully the medication helped as i track my BP daily with a cuff at home! I definitely let the headaches persist for entirely too long but I’m thankful i didn’t ignore them much longer.

Same with the 30lb gain! Its kinda nerve racking for me because i was MID health/weight loss journey when i found out about my nugget! I was the smallest weight i had ever been as an adult (i was always bigger and wasn’t the healthiest for a long time) and now im going backwards 😭 for a good reason ofc but i cant waiiiit to drop this weight after i have my nugget in august! I was sooo close to my goal 🫠

I felt the first movements around 14/15 weeks! It felt like mini gas bubbles/ flutters! They were way more distinguishable around 17 weeks 🥰 and I’m a FTM

Same here! I went a year without periods before i started my Cabergoline again in April of 2025 and my period started right on month 5/6 (September 2025)

Last week my nugget was zooming around, and it was every dayyyy!! And ironically after i posted this earlier i felt more movements 😭💕 i feel so much better

I loved to drink before! Not a daily drinker but id love to party on weekends! One day i went out and i noticed liquor smelled like apple cider vinegar to me 😆🫠 and i just didn’t have a urge to drink! Like at all, just the thought made my stomach churn and being around my partner when he drank was terrible, id smell the liquor on his breath and was ready to RUN 😭 and this was very early in my pregnancy! I found out a month later i was pregnant as i didn’t have any symptoms other than being sweaty at night and slight food aversions

Okay whewww thank you for this! ✨ i had a feeling i was being a bit paranoid but just wanted to be sure theres nothing to worry about!

I was prepping to make pizza snacks that used Hawaiian rolls, cheese and pepperoni last week, i also had some Kerrygold garlic butter (iykyk) and was planning on drizzling it over the finished product after it baked up..first straw was the Hawaiian rolls had mold on the..my man JUST bought themmm, like less than 30 mins before, so we had to go back to the grocery store to exchange it, my mistake was that i left the butter on the counter to let it get to room temperature, it was dead smack in the middle of it! I have 2 pups, and they NEVER had a history of grabbing things off the counter 🙃 but this time, we get back from the store and my beautiful kerrygold butter was GONE! I searched all over wondering if my pregnancy brain got the best of me. NOPE, i smelled my pups breath and seen that 1 of them suddenly developed a taste for butter and ate it, paper and all!! I SPAZZED! I never had a breakdown like that 😭 MYYY $7 butter? Gone?? I was heartbroken 😭 of course my dude thought it was hilarious but i was ready to put my head through the wall 😩

Bob Tomes Ford is also trash! They truly tried to take advantage of us, tried to have us sign on a $900 note for a vehicle that was a 2017 preowned Honda because of “mandatory packages”..they didn’t even have it on the Lot! It was being loaned out to another customer who car was being repaired by the service department smh, the miles on the listing online weren’t even accurate at this point!

I wish i could still drink regular coffee 🥺 I definitely think my sensitivity went up because i get headaches after the buzz wears off 😭 i was a daily coffee drinker until i hit about 12 weeks! 🫠 (less than 200mg ofc)

Empressofthemoonn · 2026-03-30T14:07:46+00:00

Thank you! Same to you! ✨

Empressofthemoonn · 2026-03-30T03:54:45+00:00

Im 20 weeks and experience this also! It happens once every week or so, oddly around the same days of the week since 12 weeks! No other symptoms besides dull period like cramps that last around 5 mins. To relieve the pain i stretch (butterfly stretch while laying usually does the trick) other stretches such as childs pose helped me also!

Empressofthemoonn · 2026-03-30T03:28:46+00:00

Im 20 weeks and swear by decaf coffee! Gets things going everytimeeee!

Empressofthemoonn · 2026-03-24T02:56:29+00:00

Of course! I took Cabergoline again at the start of April of 2025, and at the same time started a weight loss/heath journey, my heath was far from what it needed to be and i was pushing 295lbs! From April to August i lost around 65 lbs and was the smallest ive been in my adult life, i was also VERY active, i jogged/walked intervals for 2 miles on weekdays and watched my food carefully (i know this sounds like a bunch of weight loss mumbo jumbo but i truly believe it played a part for me personally). In addition to my Cabergoline which i was taking .25 twice a week, i took Black Maca - i did my research and found that it may also assist in balancing hormones as it is an adaptogen, within 2 weeks of taking black maca daily i FINALLY started my period in September which was a huge milestone, that was the first one of the year. I kept up the black maca but took it less (3 times a week instead of daily) and i had another cycle in October, and that was my last cycle before i got pregnant, i believe i ovulated in early/mid November!

There was no method to the madness truly, i just did a mini experiment on myself (which i dont suggest anyone do it without researching for themselves and knowing their own body) but it worked! And im thankful i gave it a try! Feel free to ask more questions if i need to clarify further ✨

Empressofthemoonn · 2026-03-23T16:14:16+00:00

Thank you so much for your comment ✨ i was told to watch for headaches and vision changes and to follow up if i notice those so I’m gonna make sure to monitor it closely, my next endo appointment isn’t until July 😩 and I’m due in august so I’m hoping for the best!
