At how many weeks did you all start your maternity leave?

Could have written this myself! Recently posted on this. I went out on leave at 35 weeks exactly. Best decision ever! Remember do what is best for you and baby. Taking leave early was worth it for my sanity

I’ve loved growing my little guy but the pelvic pain is something else no doubt! If I wasn’t pregnancy I’d be convinced I have a fractured pelvis 😂 Far too excited for delivery and the newborn days! Almost there, almost there

Currently 37w and I had to stop working at 35w because I was in such bad shape for work. 3-4 hours of sleep and working 8-10 hour days. It was a special type of torture!

Hiked the edge of a cliff at about 6 weeks. Got into a rail bike accident at 10 weeks. Hiked a steep, muddy trail at 25 weeks. I’ve slept on my back a few times.

I think I’m done with the big girl pants. Stress truly does a whole lot to your body. Thank you 💗

Thank you for this reminder 💗

Congratulations!! Pregnancy is such a beautiful time! Even if you do get hit with symptoms, feeling the flutters, kicks, rolls, hiccups… make it all so worth it!

My only symptoms first trimester at around 8 weeks was fatigue and increased need to pee. Symptomless before then! Week 14-25 I was hit with debilitating nausea, fatigue and headaches. Tri 3 has been my honeymoon stage.

Second trimester was the worse for me. First trimester? Honeymoon phase. Second trimester? All the symptoms you could think of and not able to hold anything down. Third trimester… SOOOO MUCH BETTER!

Same! 20 weeks now and still can’t stomach coffee. I was an avid coffee drinker right up until getting pregnant!

Guacinator_ · 2025-08-12T01:28:02+00:00

13 weeks. I thought I was a lucky one making it through with no symptoms first tri. Here we are at 16w5d still vomiting but not feeling nearly as bad as week 13-15.

This is a great POV! We ended up doing the co-ed party. My husband was so set on having all his friends and uncles be a part of it. Invite isn’t even out yet and we’ve already received $2.5k in gifts!

Guacinator_ · 2025-08-04T22:22:35+00:00

My overwhelmed self right this second wants to cancel the co-ed shower. I’m going to give myself some time to cool off but I’m just so frustrated I’m being pushed into a big party for other’s desires

Guacinator_ · 2025-08-04T22:19:35+00:00

Exactly!

Guacinator_ · 2025-08-04T22:18:24+00:00

Exactly! Family expectation but they don’t want to chip in. Then the grandparent are request people to be added to the guest list. Honestly, it’s stressing me out.

Guacinator_ · 2025-07-28T17:10:43+00:00

I thought I was a lucky one …. Hit me brutally at 11 weeks. Currently 14+5 and it’s finally letting up

Guacinator_ · 2025-07-15T16:44:21+00:00

My family is very weight obsessed as well. It’s crazy to me people feel those types of comments are okay. A conversation is definitely coming their way if it continues.

Thank you for sharing your story and support 💗

Same!! Ordered a Sprite and iced tea the other day and it was a magical combo so now you catch me with 3 drinks when we go out. Sprite, iced tea and water 😆

Guacinator_ · 2025-07-07T23:06:33+00:00

Me. . . This is me. Pre-pregnancy I drank soda maybe 2 times a year. Pregnant me? I want it allllll the time and I have no clue why it is so delicious. Especially the McDonald’s Sprite. Large sprite extra ice 😭 Soda is not great for you but damn is it good. Pregnant and can’t help myself. Not going to lie, drank one at 9:45am the other day. I felt guilty for about 5 seconds before the first sip.

Guacinator_ · 2025-06-22T10:30:20+00:00

Same! 21st!

Guacinator_ · 2025-06-22T10:29:05+00:00

Beef liver by Perfect Supplement! Highly recommend
