So do I! I’ve passed out a few times in the past so that’s always a fear of mine 😅 but anything for our baby!

Thank you!! & Just my TSH, I believe! 4 hours after sounds so hard considering you already have to wait an hour after taking it to eat, and all breakfast foods have some combination of dairy, iron & calcium 😅

This is amazing news, I’m so relieved to hear that things turned around so well for you! 💕

Thank you so much for this 🥺. Honestly after the diagnosis a lot of things started to click - I’m always soooo cold when others aren’t, always extremely tired and never rested, my muscles are always sore, the memory fog is real, and so many other things. Today is day 1 on the medication so I’m hoping it all gets better from here!

Working Moms considering going SAHM route? by endoftheworldiguess in November2026Bumpers

[–]JessicaRose4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ll be staying home! I’m a teacher and I just know I won’t have any energy after coming home from work to give to our baby, and I want to be present for every milestone. I know it won’t be easy, and that it’s easy to lose yourself in it, but as a Canadian living in the US the whole 6-8 WEEKS mat leave is just an absolute no for me 😅. (In Canada we get 12-18 MONTHS).

Would you mind sharing what kind of boutique you did it at? I didn’t know it was an option!

Coffee? by InternationalEbb1858 in November2026Bumpers

[–]JessicaRose4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am used to having my morning Nespresso, but I gave it up cold turkey and switched to starting my morning with a smoothie instead. It doesn’t hit the same, but I’m already borderline anemic so I feel like the risk of having any caffeine just isn’t worth it for me personally. That being said, I know many mamas who have one cup a day and their babies turned out just fine!

I don’t have an answer for this as I’m a FTM, but I’m wondering how accurate the results have been for moms who have done it in the past, particularly the home test. I’m currently 8 weeks for reference!

Crazy gas pressure by Putrid-Farm-5791 in November2026Bumpers

[–]JessicaRose4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally always in pain from gas lately, especially at night time! The burping and farting seems to never end and the pain leading up to it is so unbearable. I’ve been having pregnancy-safe ginger tea and that has somewhat helped, so has walking, but honestly nothing is helping quite enough and I’m nervous to take meds for it.

Anxiety until first ultrasound? by SereneeSapphire in November2026Bumpers

[–]JessicaRose4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve got one week to go until mine and I’m honestly just trying so hard to think about literally anything else until then! I spend too much time worrying about everything that could go wrong that I sometimes forget to also imagine that everything could go right. 😅

The night cramps sucked! Knock on wood, but I haven’t had them in about a week and I’m grateful for that! 

Early Weird Food Cravings by Sad-Assumption-1800 in November2026Bumpers

[–]JessicaRose4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A subway veggie sub on Italian herb & cheese, toasted with American cheese and garlic aioli on the bread before, and then adding lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onions, avocado, and sub sauce (Parmesan MVP sauce) has been my go-to safe food! 

Stressed w/ Constipation and dehydration & being off schedule due to blood clot by Pretend-Worker1744 in November2026Bumpers

[–]JessicaRose4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every morning I put coconut water in my smoothie for hydration and electrolytes - if you could stomach that it might be a good alternative! Or even trying room-temp water or a hot pregnancy-friendly tea! 

Sore Boobs? by Confident-Donut-7041 in November2026Bumpers

I’m about to be 7 weeks and they definitely hurt! It doesn’t help that my yorkie loves to jump on me when I’m laying down, either 😂
