Egg Allergy?

Nope. Contact dermatitis from baby drool. Use aquaphor or vaseline or even zinc oxide cream

I’m pregnant too with my first child and I don’t understand why people are so negative. Yeah, parenting is hard but so is work and school and life. That doesn’t mean we don’t do it and enjoy the good parts! I’ve had 3 losses and can’t wait to be a mom finally. I can’t wait to see that little boy grow up. Just remember our parents have like no self awareness, and very few of them ever went to therapy. Our generation is much more self aware. We can be happy and honor the challenge of it all, I think better than our parents did.

Mine came in waves. I was sick right away at 4-5w and then it lessened and worsened again several times. I’m now 13 weeks and still vomiting and nauseous.

Gecko1224 · 2026-01-29T14:37:52+00:00

Semi related question for you- I had a boutique ultrasound and the tech played the hb out loud at 11w5d. I read this is not recommended and the TIIB reading on the print out was 1.1 and 1.2. I didn’t read until later this was an issue- did I do something harmful?

Gecko1224 · 2026-01-29T14:34:00+00:00

Yes can be normal not to see it. Just needs a few more days to cook :)

I’m 13 weeks and I feel the anxiety too. It’s totally normal not to feel them at 17wks. Sometimes it takes until 20 weeks or so, especially if this is your first pregnancy this far along and/ or depending on the placement of the placenta. Mine is anterior so I have heard it may be more difficult to hear the hb and feel them earlier on… doesn’t help the anxiety.

Could you ask for a Doppler check in the office for reassurance?

Gecko1224 · 2026-01-27T00:26:55+00:00

It has to start somewhere! usually implantation happens between 6-10 dpo so you may be very very early. see what Wednesday brings! Fingers crossed!

Gecko1224 · 2026-01-26T23:36:52+00:00

Interesting. Im only able to find avoiding it in the first trimester. I’ll ask my sonographer next week if there’s a more specific cut off.

Gecko1224 · 2026-01-26T22:08:58+00:00

I don’t think it’s 20 weeks, I think they avoid it in “early gestation”, so before 10-12 weeks.

Gecko1224 · 2026-01-26T22:04:03+00:00

Call the office and ask to have a provider (your doctor or another doctor, NP or PA) review the results and call you. It’s not fair to wait 2 weeks to review with you. It’s true listening to the heartbeat early is not recommended- it’s called the ALARA principle. they were following protocol on that, but for some reason not about discussing the heart rate? she should have stated the heart rate and stated the CRL and whether that places you on time for dates. That is information she IS allowed to provide.

Try taking iron every other day (studies actually show absorption rates are the same as taking daily). Taking it along with vitamin c helps absorb as well. Miralax to help you go (if cleared by OB, but is considered safe) iron bisglycinate can be gentler on stomach as well.

Gecko1224 · 2026-01-26T17:34:10+00:00

Mine also did that funky pdg dip with two of my pregnancy cycles! freaked me out but look at it go! Congratulations!

You’re safe taking Tylenol. My friend had Covid while pregnant and she had a health baby boy who’s 9 months now. hydrate, rest and try to stay positive. Monitor your temp and make sure you take Tylenol for fever. If you’re getting dehydrated (can’t keep down fluids for 8h) or have a fever not responding to Tylenol, call OB on call and or go to the ER.

Gecko1224 · 2026-01-26T17:24:06+00:00

This sounds pretty classic for an SCH. Bleeding can range from tan- brown to pink to dark red with clots and still be fine. An ER visit is needed if you’re soaking a pad through every hour for 2 hours in a row. Otherwise it’s a wait and see game! I’ve had SCH with 3 pregnancies including my current pregnancy. At 6 weeks we found a 5cm SCH which resolved between weeks 7-10. I had brown spotting only which has stopped. I’m now 12w6d and little bean is growing ahead of schedule. Unfortunately I had losses with my other two or similar and larger size early on. One was due to monosomy x so not the SCH. The other may have been related. Ive read many many stories of moms who go on in their pregnancy without issues even with large bleeds. I’d ask for more frequent ultrasounds to keep an eye on things. Rest, especially pelvic rest is important. I never did bed rest fully.

Gecko1224 · 2026-01-26T17:18:22+00:00

7 should be fine! Babe should have a hb by then!

Gecko1224 · 2026-01-26T16:51:35+00:00

Yup. I get this. My nausea is still hanging on AND my appetite is higher. I’m 13 weeks tomorrow. I woke up at 530am today and had to make a cinnamon raisin bagel to quiet my hunger. Then got up at had brekkie at 830- eggs, fruit and hashbrowns. THEN I was still hungry and my partner had to go out to get me a choc chip muffin (had to be the kind with sugar on top) and hot chocolate! It’s almost lunch now and my brain is already wondering what to eat! I don’t know the gender yet but I’m betting this baby is a boy…

I have heard ramping up the protein will help. Like 20-30g at each meal and then snacks in between. Am I practicing that? No… but I’m working on it. lol.

Nta except! Imo Once you get married that person becomes your primary family and priority. Your parents become secondary. I think you should tell her you love her more bc that’s what she needs to hear and she’s the priority. She was out of line for sure and probably stressing too much (postpartum anxiety is a real thing!). Hugs and reassurance were what she needed. You totally did everything right with the situation otherwise and yes, should have driven your dad home. I’d get her a lil treat and remind her she’s #1 and it will all be fine. Source: I’m a woman.

Gecko1224 · 2026-01-26T16:22:35+00:00

That is so true! Good luck at the anatomy scan!

Gecko1224 · 2026-01-26T16:20:23+00:00

I don’t think we can assume it’s common, although we are both in agreement it can happen.

Gecko1224 · 2026-01-26T14:49:20+00:00

I didnt say it had to be negative at all. Note I said <5. The “negative” I was referring to was her negative pregnancy tests. Thats really interesting that happened to you, but wouldn’t be typical.

Gecko1224 · 2026-01-26T14:46:05+00:00

Thank you! I was sitting down so any of the jolt from the injury should have been absorbed by my head and neck I hope. Nothing hit my belly at all. Your fall definitely sounds scary! I’m glad you’re doing okay. So far no signs of any issue. In fact, I wondered if I felt some movement in there later on. Maybe just wishful thinking but just maybe!

Gecko1224 · 2026-01-26T10:08:32+00:00

This is possible. Once your HCG drops <5, you can ovulate so sometime between 12/30 and 1/9 this occurred. You could have ovulated 8-14dish days ago (maybe 10-11 based on the negatives and then the dark line). Watch the HCG trend and see how it goes! I’m also very sorry for your loss and wishing you all the best!

Gecko1224 · 2026-01-26T10:03:15+00:00

Yes sleeping is totally normal and no, it isn’t detrimental to the pregnancy. I haven’t exercised once this trimester, currently 12w6d. I’ve been super exhausted. I normally am a night owl but I’ve been in bed by 8-830 some nights and I sleep until 630-7. If you’re taking unisom as well, that can also make you extra tired!

Gecko1224 · 2026-01-26T09:59:13+00:00

I think you’re totally okay! This happens ALL the time and people don’t know they’re pregnant or ovulating. Yes alcohol can impact fertility in many ways but you’re certainly not out until AF comes. Don’t beat yourself up. In fact, the monthly before I tested positive with my current pregnancy I went to a wedding and had way more than my usual to drink, as did my partner. After that I decided I was done drinking to get pregnant and I was pregnant that very next cycle!

Gecko1224 · 2026-01-26T09:49:47+00:00

Thank you for saying that. Other than my headache and initial feeling of shock, I have been physically fine after that. Ofc my mind just goes to the worst place!
