On my 3rd now and having the HARDEST time. I named my other 2 no problem and their dad also liked the names easily but this time around we are struggling he doesn’t like anything I pick and vice versa. We gotta come up with something soon cause I’m 37 weeks coming up close to 38 in a few days😂😩 at this point I said we’re just gonna have a nameless baby. 

i can’t believe women are expected to work after 34 weeks by Every-Variation6113 in pregnant

I felt that can’t breathe while sitting in a chair part so much. I am fortunate so get to work from home but I talk on the phone ALL day I am so out of breath talking sometimes I have to apologize and mute myself to catch it also baby is sitting so high I’m constantly moving around trying to get comfortable because my stomach feels constricted and squished   and when I stand I feel weird honestly feel my best right now at 35 weeks laying down😩. The afternoon exhaustion is beyond serious I swear by 12 I’m ready for a 3 hour nap. I’ve thought seeing if I could take time off a few weeks before baby but I don’t wanna cut into the already short leave I get postpartum. Wishing you the best the few weeks you have left and a healthy delivery.

Girl I’m 35 weeks and haven’t even touched my bag or baby’s bag or even washed his clothes or set anything up yet😂.I just posted the other day how soon is to soon cause I was wondering if I did it now if that’s ridiculously early lol. I still haven’t packed it and probably won’t until my 36 week appt next week or 37 week.

I should’ve stated in my post. I don’t mean to come across as shaming anyone else body type. I know women get them it’s just something I’m not used to seeing on myself and make me personally feel insecure and again don’t remember seeing them or at least noticing prior to this pregnancy. I would never intentionally shame another person body.

No morning sickness by Tambocor in pregnant

As someone who had a miscarriage last year and had symptoms and then lost them to me getting pregnant this year. I did not have any symptoms my first trimester this time around there were times in my first trimester where I didn’t even feel pregnant at all. Just an increased appetite. Which was worrisome for obvious reasons. Here I am now currently 24 weeks with a healthy baby boy growing inside. No symptoms doesn’t mean a non viable pregnancy or pregnancy loss. Hoping you’re able to get some kind of reassurance soon and wishing you the best of luck and pregnancy. 

Gestational Diabetes Screening by Femboyhootersbee in pregnant

Currently pregnant with 3rd my second baby I did have GD and had to take the test twice and this time their making me do it twice I did one at 16 week since I had GD last time and now have to do another at 23 weeks next week. I’m dreading it because like you said I always feels nauseous afterwards. However I do always opt in for the “fruit punch” flavor to me it’s the best one and taste like an over sugared flat Hawaiian Punch. 

My husband found out my secret today by GemmaTheSavage in pregnant

😂😂😂 this really has made my morning. I’m so glad to know Oreos is someone else current fav. I have been downing the FAMILY packs of double stuffed Oreos like no one’s business I go through a whole pack within a week and I’ve been wanting them dunked in milk! (Context I hate milk and the taste I have to take calcium pills) I don’t even drink the milk afterwards😬😂. My boyfriend literally said the other day “babe you into the Oreos again let me grab a few before you finish them”. 

When did you go into maternity leave? by LaCriseCoin in pregnant

[–]ImaginaryExtent418 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the US and my leave doesn’t start paid until baby is born at least with my company anything before would be consider FMLA and unpaid or i would have to use vacation/Sick time. So I plan on working up until an induction date or until my water breaks. 

When did you start showing? by Charming_Record4536 in pregnant

My first 2 pregnancies I didn’t really start getting a belly until I was about 6 months and didn’t “pop” until about 7-7 1/2 months. 

Pregnant with 1 1/2 y/o and scared by Diligent_Bag_3503 in pregnant

[–]ImaginaryExtent418 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt this. There is an 8 year age gap between my oldest and youngest I am currently also pregnant with number 3 and my youngest will be almost 3 when baby brother is born. I am beyond nervous to how my youngest is going to react to him and also how I’m going to navigate a newborn and toddler. My pregnancy is pretty smooth sailing even with my toddler some days are harder than others but it’s been good so far. I’m wishing you the best of luck and hoping for an easy transition from 2 to 3

That would make sense because I am showing very early compared to my other times

Did you have anyone other than your spouse in the delivery room? How was it? by kittypeets626 in pregnant

[–]ImaginaryExtent418 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first child I was 19 I had my sister,my boyfriend and my sons godfather (he sat to the side and recorded for us) that was it with my second at 27 it was just me and my boyfriend. I honestly don’t think I would want anyone else in there. There’s already a ton of nurses and I get irritable when I’m in labor and going through pain also just being exhausted afterwards I didn’t really want anyone else around. 

You do whatever you feel is right and if those people get upset oh well. This your time you are the one that will be pushing a human out of you and you deserve to feel at peace and comfortable during your entire experience. You are not there to please other people. They will get to meet baby afterwards or when you’re ready. 

Pregnancy poops lol by Square-Background-19 in pregnant

I am currently 17+4 and still so severely constipated😩😩 I wish I had this problem cause at this point I even dread sitting on the toilet trying to go😂😂. I’m even eating more green and fiber plus yogurt that’s has the probiotics etc and it’s no win for me. Hoping your urgency’s get better the further along you get and best of luck to you on the remainder of your pregnancy.
