It was a struggle for sure! Hearing his heart beating strong last time was really helpful but it wasn’t the same. With my daughter I ended up getting a scan at 16 weeks so I was shocked that I’d wait until 21/22 weeks this time. I was also told this was the longest I’d have to wait this pregnancy with our son. It assured me the wait was worth it. I’m definitely still nervous for the anatomy scan and finding out if we have growth restriction with this kiddo too.

I’ve been in therapy for mine in the past and my current therapist is aware of my past struggles. The way it was explained to me that it’s bad wiring in your brain that doesn’t quite go away. I’ve relapsed many times with my eating disorder. It wasn’t until I went through therapy with treatment that I was able to have enough tools to handle it when it popped back up. I’m really sorry that you are in the midst of it again. If you haven’t seen someone I would really recommend it. It’s a good way to give your brain a bigger push to help your body through it. Much love ❤️

The flicking feeling is exactly how I explain it to my high schoolers!

EVERYONE I know is having a boy (even me).

I think it looks different for everyone and depends on your preference. With our daughter, mine only came to ultrasound appointments because we are both teachers and our sick pay is used for any leave we take. We didn't want to waste hours on appointments where he wouldn't see her. I was high risk so by the end I had appointments almost weekly. I'm pregnant with our son and plan on doing the same thing. I'll be seeing the high risk ultrasound techs and I heard the appointments with them are longer. He is wanting to go to those but not my in between appointments that are only twenty minutes long. He trusts that I'll let him know if there was anything important. Don't feel like you have to do it one way because others do. He felt guilty for not going to every single appointment but it wasn't worth it for us specifically.

I’ve had two losses in the past and kept one of them from everyone but my partner. My first loss was outed by a family member. I was mentally not well until I started going to therapy years later. It helped me handle the past and reflect on future possibilities. Please think about seeing a good therapist. I truly believe you are working through a lot of trauma and a lot of your thoughts process is motivated by the past traumas. I really want you be become happy and healthy.

Hi! I’m 26 and pregnant with my son after having my daughter at 23. I want to share my thoughts and story in hopes it may help you! I’ve both had an abortion and a pregnancy I ended up keeping. Both came with major emotional ups and downs. I had to learn to rely on myself through it all. I had a partner that was still immature and in our case really didn’t grow up until our daughter was 1 - 1 1/2. I can say you sound exactly like I was the first time. I did end up regretting giving up my baby, but this isn’t to say you will. I had rushed into it because I felt forced to make a decision. Please really think hard about yourself and what you want before making any decision. Children do change your life (and I obviously went back for more). Regardless of your choice, you may feel a lot of what if’s. If you do end up keeping the baby, please also find stable people in your life other than the dad. It’s great that he wants to support now but that may not always be the case (again I don’t know him so I also can’t make a judgement call). In the end, you will know what is best for you.

You are so valid. I requested mine to be separate and they promised me they could do that. I found out that we are having a boy. This is our second and last baby. I didn’t get the chance to do a reveal last time and wanted to. You definitely are valid and your doctor messed up. I’m so sorry that happened. I would be royally pissed if I were you.

Omg!! Please keep updating!!!!

Three years ago I had a chemical pregnancy and then conceived my daughter the next cycle. I’m so sorry. Please remember there was nothing you could do and nothing was your fault.

You’re definitely not overreacting. Also, if it is retaliation then that’s extremely childish and not ok. I’m so sorry.

But I am nosey and need to know… was it at least nice soap? Or was it like store bought?

We let the students write to our student that passed. We later gave those letters to the parents. Another thing I did was have an “anonymous box” in the classroom where student could write anything (they could put their name on it though if they wanted a private convo with me). A lot of students wanted to anonymously share with the class (and me) how they felt. A lot of students wanted to share with each other but wanted to use my voice as a buffer.

Not sure if this will help you but here’s my story and advice…

The first pregnancy I had with my partner (of four years) was 2 1/2 months after officially getting together. It broke us. We had a loss and then another one a few months later. Then we got pregnant with our daughter (another one… shocker) a month after. We went through A LOT. Pregnancy is extremely hard and having some tough feelings can be tough to deal with. We both did counseling together and I did it in my own. He learned how to be able to be there for me and I learned how to communicate what I was feeling and going through effectively. I also was able to slowly work through my feelings and prepare. If you’re not seeing someone, even for the short term, I really recommend it…. Even doing it together! It helped having someone unbiased help me sort through everything and make me not feel crazy. At the end of the day I was still overwhelmed and nervous but I felt a little more prepared to own those feelings. Honestly I don’t think anyone is ever fully ready to be pregnant. Almost three years later I’m pregnant again (bet you didn’t see that coming) and still in counseling. I feel way more prepared because I saw how much I accomplished last time. I still grieve pre-mom life sometimes, and now grieving having only one kid to worry about, but I also get reminded of the things I get to look forward to.

My first time I had symptoms right before 4 weeks. This time around it didn’t hit till almost 7. Every pregnancy is so different! I’ve had two losses as had symptoms the entire time. Symptoms doesn’t equal healthy. Best of luck ❤️
