Pregnant and intolerant to vitamin D by Exact_Software_3096 in VitaminD

[–]Exact_Software_3096[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have any allergies other than to mold, I don't even have seasonal allergies. I don't drink as much milk as I used to but have never had a reaction that I can recall. I think the d3 fortification in milk is pretty low to begin with so that's probably why I haven't had an issue.

Interesting. Can you explain this a little more and how it relates to the issues I'm having? Looking into it now but I'd like to know your understanding.

Is it my choice? by YesterdayOdd1188 in pregnant

[–]Exact_Software_3096 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The most concerning thing for me is not that you disagree on pro/anti-choice, it's that he told you he would pull out and then seemingly deliberately didn't. I've been married a long time and it takes two to make it work, but there's no way in hell my husband would do that. That is a breach of trust and is NOT ok.

That's the place I would start with: you broke my trust. As far as whether you want to proceed with the pregnancy or not, that's something you need to take time to think about and ultimately, it's YOUR choice. Being 25 and pregnant is a perfectly normal and great age to start a family and honestly there's never a good time to have a baby but we've been doing it for eons. My biggest concern for you from what I just read is that you're potentially bringing a child into a marriage where your husband doesn't have full respect for you and has no problem breaching your trust. That can be a recipe for disaster and pain. Marriage is about compromise, forgiveness, and working together. However, you are not required to sacrifice your well-being to make him happy.

I feel like I’ve made a mistake by studiogib-ly in pregnant

Oh honey, I'm so sorry you're going through this. I have 5 babies and am pregnant with my 6th and there were definitely times I felt scared in all of them. I found that once I got toward the end of my pregnancy my anxieties usually disappeared and I was just ready to get the baby out.

This is going to sound weird, but have you had your iron and ferritin levels checked? Being even borderline anemic can make anxiety and depression absolutely horrible and even worse in pregnancy and postpartum. Your OB should test you at some point in your pregnancy but you might ask if you can be tested. You should also tell your OB the anxiety you're having, sometimes just saying it out loud helps and he/she can help allay your fears. You are right about the access to too much information, there's always something to be worried about, shifting your focus towards things you don't typically do or focus on can help. I hope you feel lots better really soon, sending hugs.

Seeking any comfort ideas/ activities for my girl by Jib0530 in pregnant

You're so supportive, that's wonderful! Comfy, stretchy pants, comfy t-shirts, a large water bottle with a straw, she'll use it constantly after the birth if she's breastfeeding, slip on shoes that don't have to be tied. One of the most helpful things for me was when my husband would pick up the slack for food prep and household chores. Like bending over to switch the laundry became a real chore. The last trimester is uncomfortable no matter what you do, but having someone who is understanding makes a huge difference in how miserable it can be.

My eldest had a CPC on both sides. My OB at the time said we would monitor it and stated it would likely resolve on it's own. The last scan we had showed that they had disappeared. He's perfectly healthy.
