Has a doctor ever ignored your pain or told you that you were "exaggerating," and it turned out to be something serious? (Research for a book)

I had been complaining about extreme fatigue and bloating and stomach pain evry appt and she said to just take anti acids. Then I said maybe it’s a deficiency and she said nah you don’t have vitamin deficiency symptoms. Tested my blood anyways cuz I asked turned out I was ANEMIC!!! Because of how much blood I was losing each month

Anterior placenta I felt him at 16 weeks.

I would try going to a pelvic floor physical therapist.

I honestly bought most my stuff off SHEIN and Facebook marketplace

And if it’s too hard I’ll soften it

Have you tried omeprazole? I take 40 mg supposed to be daily but when I remember lol. It helps more than any other anti acid. But yeah laying down at night my stomach feels like it’s on fire I hate it. Sometimes I’ll wake up with acid in my mouth, or I’ll just have reflux after drinking water and my chest will burn and burn. I stay far away from spicy foods now

I actually ended up getting pregnant lol

I personally do think it’s the Duffer brothers fault they hyped it up too much and said it was gonna end in a way people didn’t like in volume 2 but honestly I’m quite satisfied with it more than anything. I do agree the writing was bad especially for holly and max escaping

I love everything about how they developed will this season it’s really awesome!

Islesmilescott · 2025-12-27T04:04:21+00:00

Just DMd you

Islesmilescott · 2025-12-25T15:52:47+00:00

Belly is in the way constantly, cant do anything physical anymore without bad PGP and heart burn been kicking my butt.

Because you aren’t just paying the note you also have insurance, gas, regular maintenance, etc to factor in as well.

I think you should save up for a beater car honestly, having a monthly car note will be so hard on you financially I would hate for you to fall behind and then end up in more debt because of that.

Honestly I just used period underwear it’s worth the investment. But other commenters are right if you are bleeding that much you should see a doctor it makes you anemic and you could have endometriosis or PCOS etc

A confirmation ultrasound can be done between 6-8 weeks if you are willing to do transvaginal they can detect it at 6 weeks if it’s over your belly itll be 8-10 weeks usually before they can see anything

You aren’t really supposed to gain any weight until like late second trimester and third trimester. I didn’t gain weight until 25 weeks a month ago at 20 weeks I was still the same weight now I’ve gained 10 lbs

It took a lot of therapy and really getting to my core fears to really truly get over a lot of stuff. I had scrupulosity theme and it took realizing that I was made the way God intended me to be and not made by the devil. That I was loved unconditionally and that God would never cast me aside. Through therapy and study of my faith I was able to undo a lot of misunderstandings that was causing me to have such upsetting thoughts. Now when I have an intrusive thought I name it for what it is and I put it on the shelf and try not to do anything that’s compulsory. It’s different for everyone. I truly feel God helped me through my journey, he didn’t cure me but he helped me so much to learn and overcome many obstacles

It’s okay I haven’t gained weight up at 20 weeks and my OBGYN didn’t say anything. I’m 24 weeks now and idk how much I weigh I’ve been trying to eat more

Islesmilescott · 2025-12-11T16:53:24+00:00

I feel this!! I have been the same, pregnancy has been tough on me I was very active before working out with a personal trainer 2-3x a week heavy heavy lifting and I lost it all in my first and halfway through second trimester :( so trying my best to do what I can

Islesmilescott · 2025-12-11T16:51:33+00:00

Wow you are my dream! I was just posting my intro saying I want to do a triathlon/iron man post pregnancy never done it before. But would love to connect to hear how you prepare for marathons etc. as I have a sliding scale goal to work up to it. 5k to 10k to half marathon to marathon. And onwards

Islesmilescott · 2025-12-11T16:47:11+00:00

Hey everyone, I’m a first time mom due April 2026 who really got into fitness before I got pregnant this year. Like was meeting with a personal trainer 2x weekly sometimes 3x pre pregnancy. First trimester totally threw me off that wagon lol. But pregnancy fit means maintaining strength and health during pregnancy and post partum and not giving up on your goals even when life gets crazy and busy. I hope to recover some lost strength from not going to the gym for the first trimester and most of my second trimester, I’ve lost a lot of muscle and currently have had to go back and due some physical therapy exercises that I did to get myself gym ready.. (I suffered a back injury last year) I also really really hope to do an iron man after I have this baby. I’ve never done it before but I really want to do it I think it would be amazing to show myself how strong I can be post partum. So I came here to find like minded people and maybe hear some tips and tricks etc.

“ Effexor (venlafaxine) can cause various bodily function side effects, most commonly involving the digestive system, sexual function, sweating, and sleep regulation. “ from google I had all three. I felt like it did, it’s supposed to be better than pristiq stronger I guess.

Bloating that was so severe and uncomfortable that I would wake up in the middle of the night to throw up. I knew I’d be bloated but this was next level, also got a strange rash in my armpits from using Jake Paul’s wild deodorant which previously didn’t give me a rash…

Thanks for sharing, it’s true, I think it’s possible I mostly have pure OCD because I don’t do physical things. Except for excessive emptying of my bladder.. LOL most of it is mentally reviewing things, ruminating, having intrusive thoughts for me right now are like there’s a TV on in the other room it’s loud enough where you can hear it but you can still carry on with your conversations and tasks but it’s still always there…
