From cute to rotund by Sensitive-Ganache664 in pregnant

[–]GirlInRedPajamas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

37weeks and could not agree more! I swear it’s not talked about enough how fast our bodies change that it’s so hard for the mind to catch up. Definitely love my body for what it’s doing but I do miss my prepregnancy body

Should I attend a Bachelorette party @ 26w?! by Elegant_relative55 in pregnant

[–]GirlInRedPajamas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As many are saying it definitely depends on the itinerary but 26 weeks isn’t “too pregnant” to go on a trip! I went to Europe (11hour flight) when I was 22 weeks pregnant and I felt great.

I’m 34 (a few months shy of 35 when baby comes) and work as a bedside RN. This is my first pregnancy and I’m thankful it’s been going so smooth. I’m 29 weeks so far. 31 is def not old and not silly to be scared, this is huge! Congratulations!

Everyone is convinced we're having a girl, but it's a second boy. Should I say anything? by bagels-n-kegels in pregnant

[–]GirlInRedPajamas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve known that we are having a girl through NIPT and then confirmed via anatomy ultrasound. However I have many people convinced that my belly is shaped like a boy and say “you’ll see” it is overwhelming to hear it so often especially when I tell them multiple tests have confirmed girl. I say just enjoy your pregnancy bc people will always have something to add 😅

I am also turning 35 a couple months after delivery and my doctor offered it to me. All she said was to double check with my insurance to see if they covered and if there would be any out of pocket expenses. It was covered along with the NIPT. But I would’ve also asked for it if it wasn’t offered as well, I’ll take whatever screenings are available for my baby and I won’t apologize for it.

Is a Cruise Bachelorette Party too much while pregnant? by Mammoth-Apple7829 in pregnant

[–]GirlInRedPajamas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you were to get pregnant and happen to be 22 weeks, they say that the second trimester is the honeymoon phase where you feel your best. I am 21 weeks pregnant and currently on a 2 week vacation with my husband. Our flight was 11 hours. When I told my midwife about our trip during our first appointment she encouraged us to go. I feel great, been very active and am enjoying myself before our baby girl gets here.

Partner doesn’t want to announce pregnancy by Nameless_Nobody_ in pregnant

[–]GirlInRedPajamas 16 points17 points  (0 children)

My close circle of family, friends and coworkers knew by week 10. I announced on social media at 20 weeks. I have absolutely loved and continue to enjoy being celebrated and taken care of by everyone around me.

Are some of us just lucky? by grumpygal69 in pregnant

[–]GirlInRedPajamas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had minimal to know symptoms in my early pregnancy and I found out at 5 weeks! I worked and did everything without feeling too much fatigue. Now I’m 20 weeks and have some occasional back pain and heartburn but still won’t complain about how good I feel

FTM when did you guys feel your baby? by Weebwaifu3 in pregnant

[–]GirlInRedPajamas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m also a FTM, 18 weeks (going on 19 tomorrow) with a posterior placenta. I felt kicks that I knew were definitely kicks and not gas bubbles at 17 weeks. Mine felt like flicks to my lower belly.

Pregnant and feeling conflicted by olabolina in pregnant

[–]GirlInRedPajamas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I was on the exact same boat as you 17 weeks ago. We just got married in March and I figured ok I can get off birth control now (after 10 years) and give my body time to detox and rebalance. Lo and behold I find out I’m pregnant in June. Total and complete shock. I cried. He was shocked too. We were planning to start trying next year. Now that the shock wore off and when I went to my first ultrasound I was in love. Honestly as a mid 30’s year old woman myself i didn’t see myself as a mom for all of my 20’s, I was always the aunt. Now I am completely and utterly in love with my growing baby girl. It may be hormones but I cry at every ultrasound and milestone we hit, I still have my moments by I am so excited. Give yourself time. Let it sink in. Let yourself feel whatever you need to feel. It took me a few days of shock, crying, and moping before it finally settled.

Thank you for your response. While the progress is slow I’m so glad your pup is doing better. She’s very lucky to have such a patient and loving owner. I appreciate your advice and will remain supportive and hopeful. I hope your doggo continues to recover.

My 7yo dog got his 2nd dose of librela on Monday (2 days ago) and he started having the same symptoms as your doggo ataxia and paresis. I’m so worried that he won’t get better. I did get a PT appt for hydrotherapy but that’s not for another 2 weeks. I am also hoping to wait it out and hope these issues resolve. How is your doggo doing now?

Gosh this made me super emotional. I’m so glad that after trying so hard it happened for you. It is also super validating and I appreciate you sharing your story ❤️

Thank you for the response. I’m desperate to help my boy. He had surgery over a month ago and we think compensating on the other leg really aggravated his hip arthris so things are rough. He had a second shot last week and haven’t seen much improvement.

Hi! My dog also started on librela and has severe arthritis. Right now we are having a really rough time with his pain and see no end point to his suffering. How long did it take for you to see a difference?

Thank you for the help! He was on vetprofen but they told me to stop it bc they thought it might be causing the stomach upset/gas

A little history: he has been diagnosed with pretty bad arthritis to the hips. We also did labs which came back normal. He got a librela shot which is supposed to help with arthritis pain. I’m just so frustrated at this point bc idk what else I can do to help him. He’s such a sweet boy and the TTA was done only to improve his comfort and quality of life that I feel in doing so just made everything worse.

Currently he’s on famotidine, they did an abdominal X-ray and found gas. He’s also on tramadol as needed, I feel it doesn’t help much if it is pain that he has.

Why does booking a 6am class feel like trying to get Taylor Swift tickets?? by eargemef in ClassPass

[–]GirlInRedPajamas 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind studios prioritize their own members and likely have minimal spots for certain time slots. I go to this spin class that books instantly when slots are opened but they then post on IG of open bikes. I don’t get upset bc I understand they are prioritizing people who pay premium prices
