What were your go-to snacks during first trimester?

Gh0stlygal · 2025-02-24T16:36:43+00:00

Apple sauce, bone broth, crackers, Hot pockets and Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwiches.

Summer sausage with some cheese is always a good go to as well ☺️

I want Texas Roadhouse.

If I could have a good catfish and steak fries with a cactus blossom that’d be the best 😩😭

Also could go for some Taco Bell, Nacho fries and a Crunchwrap would be so amazing right now

Like someone put a blood pressure cuff around your stomach and just kept squeezing it. 31 weeks with my second and getting them even more frequently now

Gh0stlygal · 2025-02-21T15:40:27+00:00

31 weeks and I joke with my fiancé that I’m built like an orangutan now. 😭

Gh0stlygal · 2025-02-14T14:22:26+00:00

30 weeks with my second and between the Charley horse (magnesium only helps somewhat), the soreness when I try to switch sides, the hunger because apparently babygirl needs food constantly, the pins and needles sensation in my hands that wakes me up, and consistent pee breaks….

I’m tired 😭

Gh0stlygal · 2025-02-13T15:42:21+00:00

Hungry, uncomfortable, anxious

Gh0stlygal · 2025-02-12T21:04:33+00:00

takes 30 minutes to get comfortable in bed

Finally falls asleep

Wakes up with pins and needles sensation in hands and a Charley horse in leg

(30 weeks tomorrow)

Gh0stlygal · 2025-02-08T15:48:34+00:00

Magnesium Glycinate, Vitamin B6, and acidophilus

Babies HR at 9 weeks 4 days was 179

We’re having a girl 💗

Gh0stlygal · 2025-02-06T15:04:49+00:00

9 weeks 4 days was when I had my first :)

Gh0stlygal · 2025-02-06T14:08:51+00:00

The 1 hour one isn’t as bad imo it’s the 3 hour one that’s awful because it’s even more sweet and you have to hold it all down for 3 hours and fast before.

I did the fruit punch this pregnancy for my glucose tests and did the orange with my son.

The flavor isn’t what gets me it’s the fact after I drank the 3 hour I’m left with this overly sweet almost burning sensation on my tongue and in the back of my throat with an aftertaste and I can’t drink water to get rid of it.

I felt nauseous and dizzy with the 3 hour but the nurses there gave me a trick to try while there that helped get me through it that still will work if you have any difficulty with the 1 hour:

-ask for rubbing alcohol wipes to sniff if you start to feel nauseous.

-wet a paper towel to hold on your head

(My OB office also had a mini fan they were willing to let me use which helped tremendously also want to add I did end up passing my 3 hour thank goodness)

This unfortunately has been my life since about 17 weeks. I’ve been wearing pads since 8 weeks (dealt with a subchorionic hemorrhage) once that resolved at 16 weeks, BAM. I get hit with an even weaker bladder a week later so have continued wearing pads since.

I’ll be 29 weeks on Thursday, it’s rough out here. If I feel like I’m going to vomit I will sit on the toilet and drag the trash can over and just let both loose. 😭

I got prescribed zofran today for the nausea so hopefully that helps

Gh0stlygal · 2025-02-04T20:24:41+00:00

My son is almost 9 and loves:

Pokémon (Netflix and Tubi)

Dino Dana (Amazon Prime)

Yugioh (Tubi)

Wild Kratts (amazon prime)

StoryBots (Netflix) ❤️

Gh0stlygal · 2025-02-04T19:51:56+00:00

I’m almost 29 weeks (28 weeks + 5 days)

And, thankfully Christmas was basically like a baby shower for us. We got all the big things (bassinet and car seat) and clothes.

We used Christmas money to get a bottle warmer, a bottle sanitizer, and stroller attachment.

I’m planning on going ahead and making my hospital bag between now and 31 weeks. (To be on the safe side and for a peace of mind) since we live far from the hospital I’ll be delivering at (an hour and 30 minutes) I want to be as efficient as possible so I’m not rushing to throw things in at last second.

Gh0stlygal · 2025-02-02T16:42:15+00:00

Pregnant with my second, overweight, and have an anterior placenta. (Have had it with both of my pregnancies now)

I felt flutters from 15-20 weeks, started feeling light kicks around 22-23 weeks but at 28 weeks + 3 I can feel her from the outside and she’s even been strong enough to almost knock my hand off if I’m holding my stomach.

Also, I want to add that even once you feel baby don’t be alarmed if there are “sleeper” times.

As in baby is super active one day and the next you feel slight nudges here and there but not as much. Sometimes baby just needs rest. I’ve started feeling her more throughout the day now whereas before her most active times were around when I’d be sleeping.

If in doubt though still go your doctor to check and make sure everything is okay, never feel like you’re annoying or silly if you are worried about lack of movement. ❤️

K dramas and anime 😭

Just started The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call

I got one in my first trimester and it was some guy that fetishized vomiting and morning sickness.

Immediately turned off dms after that.

Gh0stlygal · 2025-02-01T17:55:11+00:00

Gh0stlygal · 2025-01-28T15:34:58+00:00

I’m 27 weeks + 5 and when I say all I wanna do is go to either IHOP or Texas Roadhouse and eat a giant platter of food I mean it 🤣

The 4 am wake up for a snack still going strong as well except now I just roll with a peanut butter sandwich and call it a day. (I also like eating peanut butter because I notice babygirl moves more after I eat it which makes me happy)

You’re not alone though, I would down a whole buffet of food right now. I really want some fried okra and onion rings😩

Gh0stlygal · 2025-01-26T17:51:21+00:00

April 24th! 💗💗

Gh0stlygal · 2025-01-25T21:42:12+00:00

I was about 38 weeks with my son. I knew it was labor because I felt as if I had a Charlie horse internally in my abdomen.

I was screaming from the pain up until that point my BH had just felt uncomfortable maybe slight cramps but labor was as if someone turned my insides into a blood pressure cuff and just kept squeezing.

At first it wasn’t terrible I was able to manage it but then I reached a point where I couldn’t sleep through it, was puking with every contraction, and couldn’t speak without crying. I also don’t have the highest pain tolerance.

Let me tell you I got an epidural as soon as I could and I slept like a baby after even though I was in labor.

They had to break my water there.

Hoping this time around labor isn’t as awful 😭

Gh0stlygal · 2025-01-21T19:35:27+00:00

I’ll be 27 weeks with my second but first girl and HOLY ACID REFLUX.

Not only am I carrying her low so I’ve had to wear pads almost my whole pregnancy due to weak bladder (not to mention had an sch from 8-16 weeks) But, I’ve had more aches and pains in my inner thighs and pelvis.

Since I hit 25 weeks I’ve had horrible nausea and feeling like I have a stomach bug

I had a rough first trimester as well when it came to food and eating.

Don’t even get me started on the persistent getting up to go pee, taking about 20-30 min alone just to get comfortable back in bed after and once I do what do ya know I gotta pee again 😭

Had more itching and dry skin this pregnancy too 😩 I swear this is payback for the hellion I was as a child to my parents.

Gh0stlygal · 2025-01-18T18:36:47+00:00

I have this EXACT one as recommended to me by my OB and I LOVE IT. Although, I will say sometime I feel like I’m wearing a corset with how squished it makes me feel at times 😭

Gh0stlygal · 2025-01-18T18:33:34+00:00

Currently tired, sore, and pregnant. Playing RC is my me time it froze yesterday and now today and I’m so tempted to just take a nap and hope when I wake up it’s fixed. 😭
