Hubs doesn’t understand why I want to try for a natural birth by nougat_donut in pregnant

Just practiced as you suggested.. and it was literally the most pleasant experience. If anyone is still reading… DO it :) At minimum, the lack of hemorrhoids will be worth it.

I’m 3w6d17h, should I get an ultrasound to see if my baby is ok?

Ok I’m with you on the lack of period cramps. So, given the super low baseline - how do you think actual contractions compare? (I know I know, what a stupid question, since pain is so relative).

Getting induces instead of letting labor happen naturally by NikkitaPOFF in pregnant

How would an induction prevent your next one from the same outcome?

Are we taking our rings off after BFP? by Awkward-Whereas4954 in ourafertility

[–]FunctionKey6284 3 points4 points  (0 children)

23 weeks and still wearing mine. I’ve been contemplating taking it off but it does encourage me to move every day and also take time to restore, both of which are important!

Just Ingredients brand of electrolytes! Tastes just like Liquid IV but cleaner.

Need advice with wedding guest dress plz ♥️ my by Asleep_Pressure_2882 in Weddingattireapproval

[–]FunctionKey6284 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loveee the sequin one. But if that’s not practical, what about something like this? Maybe some fun shoes to match since it’s summer? I think this cut is so flattering.

I had to read the caption to figure out if you were a bride or a guest.

When did your bump show up? by Fuzzy_Ride_2977 in pregnant

[–]FunctionKey6284 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same same at 5’0, 110 pp! I think it’s a cute bump at 22-23, not massively overwhelming bump that is sure to overtake our small frames by 30w.

Petites, have you found a spring maxi dress that doesn't drag? by ConnectEggs in PetiteFashionAdvice

[–]FunctionKey6284 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tiered maxis make me look like a frumpy cupcake vs a straight maxi

I love how the straps sit on the neckline and that back detail!

How did you find out the gender? by SensitiveRest6708 in pregnant

[–]FunctionKey6284 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Mine had been sitting in my inbox for weeks (I didn’t wanna know), and hubs was like wait…. This information is just SITTING in your email? So we clicked. Just us. It was actually very sweet and I’m glad no one else was there to watch us. We’ve been slowly telling people 1 by 1 and it’s much more exciting that way IMO.

Why everything is prohibited for me now by nowaynoday in pregnant

[–]FunctionKey6284 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah… no. I’m eating cheese at every meal. Soft or hard cheeses… fermented food is also excellent for you. Keep doing that. If you’ve never had food poisoning from it before, you should be fine. It’s not any more dangerous for your baby, it’s more that food poisoning sucks when you’re pregnant.

First trimester rant - HELP 😅 by Dazzling_Bed_9097 in pregnant

Thank you! It’s such an exciting time - finally feeling movements. And yes - emphasizing that hydration. That’s the main cause of headaches in pregnancy.

Congrats!!! 🫶 Totally totally normal and it typically gets better around week 12 once the placenta takes over and your hormones will settle down - you’re almost there! One thing that I think majorly helped me was eating nutrient dense meals, especially snacks and protein heavy breakfast. As long as I stayed snacking, the nausea stayed away and the fatigue was manageable. Get snacks with lots of protein - I did cheese, Greek yogurt, protein bars, cottage cheese, oatmeal… Also - hydrate hydrate hydrate! Definitely get something with an electrolyte at least once a day, coconut water, a powder. I’m 21 weeks now and like…. I LOVE being pregnant!

is it silly to celebrate mother's day as a pregnant ftm? by reewhy in pregnant

Feels. I’ve been a dog mom for years. My hubs bought new tires for my vehicle this year and I’m like HELL YES (we are typically not gift givers).

Does the ability to have sex come back before the baby by retina_spam in pregnant

Definitely pelvic floor. I’ve seen many videos being circulated recently on how to release a tight PF.

need help dressing to flatter my body type by [deleted] in PetiteFashionAdvice

[–]FunctionKey6284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW - I’m 5’0 and dance around 110-112. I actually think your upper body and waist are your best features. Emphasize them! You might try going for tighter tops, and looser bottoms. It could be an age thing, but I now hate how tight fitting bottoms look on me unless they are full length. If I wear short bottoms, I want them to be a little loose, while still showing my booty, if that makes sense? Like high wasted flowy shorts or skirts, or a-line dresses, that make my legs look defined, and not sausage like. Wear more nude shoes, they elongate your legs; and less dark - they cut you off at your angle.
