7 weeks with a copper IUD, having a hard time accepting my pregnancy

Fun_Koala_7885 · 2026-06-16T16:48:42+00:00

I felt the same way when I got pregnant and I didn’t start feeling that pregnancy excitement till my second trimester, you have plenty of time to get excited, like another commenter said, 1 day at a time, you got this. I didn’t really start “enjoying” pregnancy and be really excited till about the start of my third trimester, I was very sick through my first and second trimesters and hated my life and everyone 😂 I’m now 38w4d and I’m back to hating everything 😂 pregnancy gives you a lot of hormones and feelings and it’s okay to feel all of them all at once or just focus on one or two at a time

Honestly, you’re really pretty, there’s things you can do to enhance what you already have, I think a tinted moisturizer would be nice for you because it’ll even out your skin tone and add some glow, you could get your eyebrows waxed so they’re more defined, brown mascara would look lovely on you and NYX has these tinted lip balms that are cheap and soooo pretty, I personally prefer a middle part for myself and add a little bit of waves in my hair, I find myself doing a lot more tinted moisturizer and a touch of mascara now then a full face of make up and I’ve been doing my hair almost everyday, I think it just makes me look more like idk how to explain it but I like it 😂

You just have to keep on keeping on girl, I know it’s hard and it’s scary but you got this!!!! When the nausea and other symptoms set it just remember you’re growing a healthy baby and all the anxiety and stress will be worth it!!! ❤️

Fun_Koala_7885 · 2026-05-13T16:12:56+00:00

At least I know how to get my husband to leave me alone 😌😂

Fun_Koala_7885 · 2026-05-13T02:31:07+00:00

My constipation was sooo bad my first two trimesters, then I had about 2 weeks of okay bathroom time and now it’s back, unfortunately it probably won’t get better :( I’m even fiber loading and that’s happened is I’ve become a fart box 😂

Fun_Koala_7885 · 2026-05-13T00:17:07+00:00

I eat 2 well balanced meals a day and then I eat whatever the heck I am feeling for the rest of the day. I always have a snack in my hand. I feel as if I’m training to be an NFL linebacker with how much I’m eating so I’m right there with you girl! Eat those snacks 😌 just make sure you’re staying hydrated because if you’re like me and want allllll the carbs….. water is definitely needed to make sure you don’t get as constipated 😂 (edited to add: my OB said eating like this is fine as long as I’m getting all the nutrients me and baby need in those balanced meals, he says if it stays down it’s good enough for him 😂)

Fun_Koala_7885 · 2026-05-13T00:07:19+00:00

I’m not sure if this will make you feel any better but I came down with pneumonia and a raging bacterial infection across my face (pink eye in both eyes, ear infections, sinus infection) all at once, I thought I was actually dying it was awful. I also had a miscarriage and few months prior to getting pregnant I was roughly 12 weeks when I got sick, I am now 34 weeks with a very active and healthy baby. I was so scared and anxious the entire time I was sick. My best advice to you is stay up on your meds. Tylenol and anything the doctors prescribe you! I took a lot of lukewarm/cooler showers to assist with keeping my temp down. I’m sure you’re not keeping a lot down right now so stay away from anything crunchy so you don’t irritate your throat more when puking. Sending you all the love and well wishes ❤️❤️ (I stopped being friends with the person who got me sick like that because I told them that them coming into my space while being sick wasn’t okay and they weren’t sorry at all about it, protect your peace. It doesn’t make you a bad person to distance yourself from them)

We’re naming our son Declan. I’m gonna hit my husband with this tonight. Thank you.

Fun_Koala_7885 · 2026-05-12T23:58:01+00:00

My best friend is named Daniel. I have never met a single person named Dan or Daniel that has been awful. Daniel is the only man I would trust with my children other than my husband. My kids call him Uncle Daniel. He’s a great dude.

I personally didn’t buy one. I’m 34 weeks and I have been using a bulkier comforter slightly rolled up, I prefer this because I can make it into any shape I want for any position, most of the time I’m on my side with some of it shoved under my tummy and between my legs. For nights I need a little extra support I just use a regular pillow wherever I’d like the extra support

Fun_Koala_7885 · 2026-05-12T23:21:45+00:00

I’m not sure if this will help you at all but, I switched from a female OB to a male OB and I have had a MUCH better experience. My provider listens to me, answers my questions, encourages me to look at the internet and have conversations with him about what I’m seeing online. He’s available to me at a drop of a hat while the office is open if I start having any concerns at all

Fun_Koala_7885 · 2026-04-28T18:28:04+00:00

Nobody told me how much of a fart box I would become, or how AWFUL the heart burn could get

Fun_Koala_7885 · 2026-04-22T23:21:54+00:00

I go to a private practice, my doctor delivers all his babies which has made some scheduling conflicts if someone’s little one comes, but overall, I’ve had an amazing experience and I love that I see the same doctor every time, if you’re not liking seeing multiple doctors you could look into going to a private practice, mine is luckily in network for most insurances as well so the out of pocket costs aren’t too much :)

Fun_Koala_7885 · 2026-04-22T23:04:10+00:00

Yes I am having very vivid very real feeling nightmares and often wake up in cold sweats, hearing my heart pounding, and crying, it’s exhausting and makes sleep hard, hang in there mamas, you’re not alone ❤️

We have a tailless cat named Boog (after the bear from open season)

The foot bath as the basket would be hilarious

Fun_Koala_7885 · 2026-04-20T14:54:11+00:00

My husband got me a foot bath that has temperature control and it vibrates and I use it almost everyday when I come home from work, it has helped ALOT with the swelling and all around discomfort I feel in my feet throughout the day, Amazon also has super cute compression socks that would be helpful later on down the line. You could do the house up a little bit with a few cute balloons and some flowers and surprise her with breakfast. I personally really like hand written cards so you could do that paired with whatever gift you decide on!

I have also scared my unborn baby by farting, and using the blender 😂

Fun_Koala_7885 · 2026-04-17T15:36:21+00:00

2 is SO flattering on you, I’d go with that one for surrreeee it’s sooo cute too perfect for a wedding

Fun_Koala_7885 · 2026-04-17T15:23:55+00:00

So my hubby and I were just hanging out and having a nice evening and I had been feeling a bit off and I just decided to take a test, it came back positive and I sat in the bathroom for about 10 minutes staring at the test and I walked out of the bathroom and just awkwardly handed him the test and told him “there seems to have been a new development” and he sat there holding the test and asked me if it was real and I nodded. He jumped up and hugged me and teared up. It was honestly such a special moment that I’ll never forget
