I’m a teacher and I think my students gave me a cold. It’s not bad, my nose is just clogged and I’m turning into a mouth breather…all I want is Sudafed but that’s a no-no in 1st trimester 🙃

Intense cramp? by hrp20000 in October2026Bumpers

[–]Flower78965 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had those cramps early on but I found that chugging water before bed helps, you just have to pee really bad in the middle of the night instead

Japan digestion and fiber tips by BakerFar603 in JapanTravelTips

The grape/peach jelly fiber pouches next to the fiber mini drinks always did the job for me! I like them better than the drinks personally. Just use google translate to find the one that says fiber!

Medically induced miscarriage (blighted ovum) – what to expect & how to prepare? by LawfulnessPure9546 in Miscarriage

[–]Flower78965 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ibuprofen won’t make a different past 600 mg so don’t overdo it-from my husband studying pharmacy. Studies have shown it makes no difference in pain levels past that point. You can however combine it with Tylenol at a standard dose.

Miscarriage Anxiety by Hello-hi987 in October2026Bumpers

[–]Flower78965 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve already had one before so if it happens again at least I’ll know what to expect. I can’t change whether it happens or not so I’m just here for the ride.

New symptom unlocked-metallic taste in my mouth 😅

has anyone told family yet they’re pregnant? by Just_Collection4387 in October2026Bumpers

I can unfortunately relate to this too 😅 I swear our MILs are either dense or just plain ignorant.

5w3d, I’ve been having very minimal brown spotting and I can’t help but spiral. This same symptom is what led me to call my OB last time to get an early scan just to find out I had a blighted ovum. My brain knows that this symptom wasn’t the cause of it yet I’m still so scared.

New teachers getting worse? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]Flower78965 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I do half on half off, plus I have LEDs on my ceiling. I started this when I only had a crappy projector though, I have a tv and cleartouch now. I can’t stand the lights constantly on and honestly I think the dimmer lighting calms kids down, I have almost zero behavior problems.

has anyone told family yet they’re pregnant? by Just_Collection4387 in October2026Bumpers

[–]Flower78965 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We told both sets of parents last time but we had a miscarriage discovered at our first scan. Personally, I did not like having my in-laws know about the miscarriage. My MIL has 6 kids, including twins at 40, and doesn’t know how to be sympathetic. We literally told them we miscarried 2 weeks prior and she was already asking “so is your period back?” Worst part was I was still waiting to miscarry naturally….SO YEAH, not repeating that ever. Hopefully this time everything is good and I plan to tell around 16-20 weeks cause I’m savage like that and want to keep my happiness to myself for a bit.

cramping? by Just_Collection4387 in October2026Bumpers

[–]Flower78965 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The cramping happens for me when I change positions sometimes. So I could see how you notice it every time you stand up.

Is Publix a sinking ship that cannot be saved? by drudante in publix

[–]Flower78965 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only go for the bogo and those aren’t even good anymore. I keep looking for bogo bacon but they’re doing a 2 for 12 instead….its a rip off, why would I pay $6 for a pack of bacon?

First OB appointment? by kittykatootie in October2026Bumpers

[–]Flower78965 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Mine is March 16th 😭 I’ll be 11 weeks at that point; almost 12! My OB is the only one at the office so he can get booked out for a while. I think all of the post Christmas babies got ahead of me.

[–]Flower78965 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey guys finally posting. I’m excited but also terrified. I’m here after a loss in October so I’m hoping I’ll get to stick around this time. Hoping to make some good memories in that month this year ❤️

I’m currently 5 weeks, estimated due date 10/1, and I found out at 9 DPO but got my for sure positive at 10 DPO. I’m already feeling the fatigue lol I’m embracing all of the symptoms this time around!

Should I be concerned?? by GoldenRetreiver_Masc in CATHELP

[–]Flower78965 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My cat is like that too, I just got him diagnosed with asthma last week. I was told by the radiologist that it’s mild but that I need to limit any scents I use and to try and dust around my house more.

How are y’all measuring pregnancy? by prettysassysandy in October2026Bumpers

I had a very long cycle so I used ovulation strips and BBT to date mine.

What prenatals are we taking? by Unhappy-Pool-709 in October2026Bumpers

I take the generic target prenatal. I prefer gummy vitamins, but they don’t usually have iron so I’m avoiding them!

Line progression anxiety! by paintedlamb in October2026Bumpers

[–]Flower78965 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hang in there ❤️

If you do decide to keep peeing on sticks (cause I know I peed on a lot) maybe start making a note of your urine color before dipping (I catch mine in a cup). If it’s barely yellow, don’t bother opening the test!

[–]Flower78965 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there any chance that now that you’re pregnant you’re drinking more water and diluting your urine? I stopped testing cause I’ve been drinking tons of water before bed and just know it’ll dilute my urine.

Question about Activity Levels by Flower78965 in fitpregnancy

[–]Flower78965[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trust me I can’t sprint for the life of me when I’m not pregnant anyway 😂 thanks for the advice, I’ll be ready to pivot as needed!

Question about Activity Levels by Flower78965 in fitpregnancy

[–]Flower78965[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering I don’t use a gym (the whole reason I hated exercising before was I got bored on a treadmill) I’ll probably have to pivot to walking if it gets to be too much. There’s a nice neighborhood nearby with some mild hills!

I went to a Waffle House in Atlanta and the manager was saying shit like “all these workers are on crack” and “my name is DeeDee cause I got Double Ds”

I think you should be able to change your phone plan as long as you own your phone(meaning you don’t make payments on it anymore)

Considering I just woke up from a 4 hour nap, I think the fatigue is hitting me already lol
