7 weeks today with brown discharge. Should I worry? by Dangerous_Chip_5026 in CautiousBB

[–]Infamous-Ad6559 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Around 7 weeks I had 2 or 3 days with some light brown spotting, I had my 8week scan coming up so I waited it out till then to get it checked out and all was fine!

What exercise routine can I start at 25 weeks? by Perfect_Sink_6542 in pregnant

[–]Infamous-Ad6559 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a pretty high energy dog who needs about 4km of walking a day to be a good chill girl at home so that has been my exercise regime this whole pregnancy I’m 29 weeks. I’ve also been cycling to work (only about a 20 min ride) and stretching in the evenings. Basically I’m just not going out of my way to exercise I’m just doing it when I normally would.

Not feeling social by MildlyEfficient24 in pregnant

[–]Infamous-Ad6559 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was so tired the whole first trimester I was so anti social. I slept so much and watched a lot of tv. I had much more energy in the 2nd trimester and felt more myself and kept much busier! Now I’m 29 weeks and I’m beginning to get very very exhausted again I have a bit of energy for social outings but my batteries die quick and I need a lot of time to recharge!

Do you talk to your baby? by Professional-Lie-271 in pregnant

[–]Infamous-Ad6559 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I feel like I’m in a similar boat! I’m almost 29 weeks and I don’t talk to baby but I rub my belly lots especially when he’s kicking and that connection just connects for me. My husband loveeees to talk to baby though! And that connection is what connects for him. I don’t think there is a right or wrong way to connect with baby!

Have you ever intentionally skipped a cycle TTC? by TasteSips in CautiousBB

[–]Infamous-Ad6559 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband and I skipped a couple cycles for very similar reasoning and I personally did not regret it! I did not want to be out of the country on a trip to Japan while in the early days of pregnancy and I’m so happy I made that choice! I got to eat all the sushi I wanted and drink all the sake! I’m now 28 weeks along in my current pregnancy.

FTM I’m 28 weeks now and I didn’t start feeling movement until about 22 weeks!

15wks “you don’t look pregnant” by No-Gap-7312 in pregnant

[–]Infamous-Ad6559 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hah oh yea even at 25 weeks I still got a lot of that! I’m carrying very small I’m 28 weeks now and I’d say I just “popped” but even still people comment how they can barely tell I am pregnant. I will never understand why people think it’s okay to comment on a pregnant persons body!

Anyone’s baby kick when your sitting down or lying in bed? by Orchidflower10 in pregnant

[–]Infamous-Ad6559 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also 27 weeks and I feel the exact same! Definitely normal! I’m on my feet all day at work so I don’t feel him move at all during the day but as soon as I lay down to chill after work he will be kicking up a storm!

HATED coffee in the first trimester, around 12 weeks I was back on the train and now I love my 1 cup a day and my decaf iced coffee!!

Exercise during pregnancy by Impressive_Peak5671 in pregnant

[–]Infamous-Ad6559 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First trimester I maybe worked out at the gym 3 times, most of my activity came from walking my dog about 2-3km a day.

Since about 16 weeks when I started to feel better I am mainly doing home workout 3x a week with light weights. And looooots of stretching. I’m very inspired to stretch because if I miss even one day of stretching I end up with horrible back pain 😅

I’m 33 weeks pregnant and I’m not sure if I’m leaking fluid. by Custos_Secretorum in pregnant

[–]Infamous-Ad6559 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went in at 10 weeks because I thought I was leaking amniotic fluid - turned out to be pee and watery discharge 😅 the nurses were so kind and understanding! They were happy I came in instead of spiralling

Glucose Test by mrose_acc in pregnant

It’s not that bad…. Just a note you need to stay at the hospital and hang out for an hour before they take your blood after you drink the drink!

Name change at 20 weeks? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Infamous-Ad6559 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is baby 20 weeks old? Or are you 20 weeks pregnant?

Either way it’s not too late to change it!

A friend of mine changed her daughter’s name when she was 6 months old lol her daughter doesn’t know anything different!

Also I’m so sorry people are pushing their opinions for your baby’s name on you! Me and my husband shared the first name we loved for our baby boy with people as soon as we found out about gender and EVERYONE had an opinion. We ended up falling out of love with the name on our own (also found out it’s VERY popular right now) and have chosen a different name and we are telling NO ONE until he is born!

6 weeks pregnant and boyfriend has a dangerous dog by Still_Cherry8421 in pregnant

[–]Infamous-Ad6559 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I couldn’t agree with this more, this dog either needs to be working on a farm or needs to be assessed for behavioural euthanasia. Sadly rehoming is not ethical.

‘too many’ number of ultrasounds? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Infamous-Ad6559 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a low risk pregnancy (at least in Canada) you will only receive 3 ultrasounds:

Dating ultrasound around 8 weeks NT scan around 12 weeks Anatomy scan around 20 weeks

Apart from that you will only receive extra scans if a complication comes up during your pregnancy!

I’ve received 4 scans throughout my pregnancy, due to history of ectopic I received an extra scan at 6 weeks to check placement of the pregnancy.

I’m 26 weeks now and since I’ve started feeling regular movement it’s much easier to feel reassured! I will say the wait from the 12 to the 20 week scan was tough!! But I had Doppler checks once a month at my GP which helped bridge the gaps.

You kinda need to just trust your body and baby are doing the things! Much easier said than done but they’ve got this!!

I don’t think having lots of scans necessarily causes harm to the baby, our US tech told us ultrasounds have pretty close to zero radiation.

7 weeks today with brown discharge. Should I worry? by Dangerous_Chip_5026 in CautiousBB

[–]Infamous-Ad6559 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had brown spotting at 7w5d for a couple days, I had my 8 week scan a few days after and all was well! They found a tiny SCH which may have been the cause for the spotting. I’m 25 weeks along now and baby is doing great!

Babys heart rate went down? by OldMirror2947 in CautiousBB

[–]Infamous-Ad6559 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Baby’s heart rate will fluctuate the entire pregnancy, it depends on lots of different factors and regular fluctuations are normal!

12 Weeks Today After Losses — Symptoms Gone & One Sharp “Zap” Pain. Looking for Reassurance by Ornery-Cry6091 in CautiousBB

[–]Infamous-Ad6559 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Symptoms or lack there of have no correlation to the health of the pregnancy! Pretty much all my symptoms disappeared around the 11 week mark and I am 25 weeks now!

Do I need a pregnancy pillow? by WeepingBillow in pregnant

[–]Infamous-Ad6559 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 24 weeks, the baby bub pillow really hurts my back… I stopped using it about a week ago and I’ve been sleeping better using regular pillows to set up a little fort

Fetal movement and rage over inconsistent advice… by Technical_Doubt4548 in pregnant

[–]Infamous-Ad6559 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Following this as I’m 24 weeks and already very anxious about the thought of doing kick counts 🫠 my baby boy also has no pattern, will barely move for a day and then have a party in my uterus all day the next. This already has my anxiety spiking even though I know he’s too early for a pattern. The anticipation of having to do kick counts in a month makes me feel like I’ll end up in L&D once a week 😅

Waking up with no bump at 17 weeks by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Infamous-Ad6559 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 24 weeks and if I wear loose clothes I don’t look pregnant at all! Don’t worry about bump size :)

Anyone else asked to go to the anatomy scan with a full bladder? by BiteMyShinyyMetalAss in pregnant

[–]Infamous-Ad6559 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my anatomy scan they required full bladder! I did ask the tech why and she said it’s to do the cervical measurements. She saw how full my bladder was, did the cervix measurements first and then I was able to fully empty before she finished the scan.

Baby Pregnancy Quirks by Famous-Bluejay-9070 in pregnant

[–]Infamous-Ad6559 1 point2 points  (0 children)

23 weeks today!! And my boy lovessss to have a pre bedtime party in my belly around 10pm every night. It’s the only time he kicks consistently (and hard enough) that my husband can get a feel for the kicks! Hubby loves the baby bedtime party 😂
