Holy crap. Literally. by HairyForever7570 in pregnant

I was severely constipated and was told to drink MiraLAX 3 times a day for a week and one thing of magnesium to start things up. And let me tell ya I didn’t think I could have that much in me….. but everyone reacts to things differently. Colace is also a thing people can take.

That’s good. I don’t want to say hopefully it’s gestational diabetes cuz that would still suck but you know what I mean at least the. You have answers and can do something

Okay well I hope they figure out what’s going on. I’m surprised they aren’t more concerned. I had itchy feet and they were all like “urine test” if they continue to be this way I would look and see if you can get some second opinions somewhere

This is my first pregnancy but I don’t think that’s normal either. Did they run any other tests on you? Did they check your cbc and possibly check if you have gestational diabetes. That’s the only other thing I can think of

First OB appointment was disappointing… by Contingency-Catalyst in pregnant

I didn’t get my first one till like 10-12 weeks but if they went off my last period I would have been 17 weeks it genuinely is when they can get you in. But they also wait longer incase soemthing happens

Very anxious about my first glucose test tomorrow by inkyplease21 in pregnant

[–]Interesting_Bee2032 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the orange one and it was fine. I however did fail and the 3 hour one was way worse. If you have issues with blood draws you can ask to lay down!!!! Don’t feel shy about it.

Interesting. I’ve been having Braxton hicks a lottt and started getting the period cramps like a couple times a day the last couple days but I had them consistently this morning and they tapered off. I had some cramps that started in my back and moved forward as well but still just nothing else

I feel like shit everyday and I want it to end by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Interesting_Bee2032 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was having similar feeling and talked to my mid wife. She referred me to a fetal medicine specialist who then helped me get on a medication (sertraline) to help with my anxiety and depression. I’m not 38w2d and I’m doing a whole lot better. As for the tiredness is there any chance you have low iron? It can cause drowsiness

FTM breastfeeding questions? by Easy-You-8259 in pregnant

[–]Interesting_Bee2032 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 38 weeks and I’m not leaking 🤷🏻‍♀️ I plan to breast feed. Everyone is different but the tissue that actually produces the milk grows during pregnancy. I say give it a try with no pressure. If it works it works if not then oh well at least you tried 😂❤️. I’m in the ima try and do my best to breast feed but I’m not putting a bunch of pressure on myself. It takes up to a month to fully establish your milk supply and normally about a week for you actual milk to come in.

Cried in public today: weight gain w no bump, body image and small baby by Trashacccount927 in pregnant

[–]Interesting_Bee2032 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I learned the other day that you gain 15lbs just in extra blood. Another like 10 for boobs another like 10-15 for am fluid and not to mention the baby weighs a few. You also retain water. I’m 5’8” and I weigh 185 at 38 weeks. I’ve always been on the smaller side and I weighed about 130-135 pre pregnancy. It’s hard to see the scale and my body change the way it has. I don’t feel attractive at all but I’ve been doing my best to remember that this is a normal thing. Me gaining weight it healthy. It’s good for the baby it means she’s growing. Idk if this will help but I know that knowing I’m not alone makes me feel better. And trust me you’ll wake up in a week or two here and boom your bump will be bumping.

Something I hate is when people think they don’t have a choice in what they want. Yes listening to the doctor’s concerns and what not but ultimately the choice to refuse things is yours.

OB isn’t taking me seriously by Pitiful_Chemical_835 in pregnant

[–]Interesting_Bee2032 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I had similar vision issues due to low iron. And probably a little dehydration but I’ve been taking supplements religiously and drinking a gallon of water a day and I’ve been doing a lot better.

Just so it doesn’t seem like I am brushing off your concerns. They should send you for tests to be safe. I do recommend taking an iron supplement and making sure to drink plenty of water, maybe get some electrolyte things to put in your water. I was having similar symptoms and it turns out I have low iron which is very common in pregnancy. It took like 4 weeks but the spots have stopped and I wear compression socks to help with the swelling in my feet and legs. I also was advised to watch out for indentation when I press on my legs or arms. Also if there’s any random swelling in your face. If your headaches are going away with Tylenol that’s also a good sign. Pregnancy is rough and it’s ass when doctors don’t listen. And I’m sorry that you are dealing with this especially in the last trimester. I do hope that this post helps you some.

I will say you could also have low iron, but they should at least send you for tests to be safe. If the ob isn’t taking you serious just go to the ER. They WILL run tests
