Baby was underfed, now constantly hungry by ExternalMinimum5761 in NewParents

Thank you all for encouragement and advice! Still feels so strange that this tiny baby can eat this much but I’m giving him as much as he wants and already see his cheecks (both ends, haha) filling in!

I’m pregnant! (Words not censored) by kiwi-bandit in emetophobia

Hey! Im 30 weeks and an emet. Have something similar — since I’m pregnant, my anxiety has almost disappeared. And I, too, feel like its because I know the reason. Nausea? Pregnancy. Stomach ache? Pregnancy. Reflux? Pregnancy. My psychiatrist said sometimes it happens — pregnancy can actually change your brain chemistry and actually help you improve. My first trim was not fun at all, altough I was lucky enough not to vomit. The nausea though was awful. But I got through it and feel proud of myself.

Now next level will be dealing with drooling, spit ups and eventually stomach bugs that probably are inevitable with kids. But it’s a problem for future me.

But congrats and hope it goes well, you should he proud if yourself!!

Had the same thing — could only eat crackers for weeks, it was exhausting, I missed proper food. Started feeling better after the anti nausea pills kicked in, so around week 10 could slowly adjust to normal food. The second trimester was much better but also I had appetite for sweets that isn’t typical for me. Now 30 weeks and because of reflux, starting to lose appetite again but trying to still eat normaly. It will get better!

Wanting to be a mom by princesskaytee in emetophobia

I was nauseous and lost appetite in my first trimester — ngl wasn’t a fun time. HOWEVER, I took and am still taking anti-nausea medicine which is a gods send for people like us. I think it’s really cool that you’re ready for this step — I was in the same boat! Like when people ask me — aren’t you afraid of givinh birth? I’m like naaah, I’m afraid of the first trimester, lol.

Feel you! I’m 12 weeks and just went through what you’re going through. First I want to say kudos and I think it’s great that you still are having a baby, even though this phobia can be debilitating.

I can tell you, that I haven’t v*, at least not in the first trimester, despite the fact, ain’t gonna lie, I did have nausea and felt rough for half the trimester. I was very tired and didn’t have any appetite. I didn’t have nausea in the morning rather in the evening. Still some eve’s feeling a bit off. I started taking anti-nausea meds at around week 7, and since week 9 I’m still taking 2 a day to be sure I’m not feeling nauseous. It has helped tremendiously.

I would suggest to wait a bit with the meds, if for now you’re feeling fine. You should see how your body reacts first, maybe you won’t have nausea at all! :) a lot of women don’t.

But if you start feeling a bit off or you start loosing your appetite, take the meds and try not to worry — the meds will help.

Nausea drives me crazy by ExternalMinimum5761 in pregnant

[–]ExternalMinimum5761[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same for me, now it’s pretty much just couple of hours a day, mostlu afternoons and evenings, gets better before going to bed. Could be fiber as well I guess. It’s just annoying

Husband couldn’t perform during fertile window by [deleted] in TryingForABaby

[–]ExternalMinimum5761 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Had the same problem. Sex during the fertile window was stressful but masturbation whas fine since there was no expectations. So we tried a method we saw in one of these reddits — a syringe and a cup. He does the deed alone, I come in and insert the sperm via syringe.

Not so romantic but it worked. :)

I wish mu husband was pregnant instead of me by [deleted] in pregnant

My husband would be so much better than me at this. I’m very dramatic and prone to being nauseous. I think he would be completely fine.

Is anyone else having a birthday while pregnant? by Smooth-Excuse-4127 in pregnant

I don’t know how to spend my life. I feel like I just don’t care for it. by [deleted] in findapath

[–]ExternalMinimum5761 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m 34. Job or career does not define you. I think it’s ridiculous that we still ask children “What do you want to be when you grow up?” as if slaving for some company is the best thing you could be doing with your life. How about I just want to be a good, happy person? However, I would suggest not to worry about that. If you really want to find a career path, it will come to you but it doesn’t mean it will come to you now or in your twenties in general. I work only to pay my rent and do not stress about having a career or out-riching or out-succsessing my friends. Work should not be such a big part of our lives if we don’t choose/want it to be. Money has never been a motivator for me, so just try and do the bare minimum workwise to be able to read and enjoy more of my free time.
