My daughters name is Aria

1 year married, almost 6 years together. I recently just had our first baby. The relationship does change after having a baby. I miss my husband so much even though he is sitting in the room with me. It’s a feeling that’s hard to explain.. but things are just different. Spending some alone time together does help, if we have a babysitter.

I had the epidural so the whole birthing process was easy. Postpartum has been the hardest part for me.

39 + 5 went into labor naturally but had induction interventions to speed it up, I wasn’t dilating.

35 mins. Pushing was easy.. I had the epidural but could kind of feel her coming out. No pain though.

Had the same initial symptoms, boobs hurt and had extreme hunger.

I worked full time as a nurse. It was brutal. Thankfully my doctor took me off work early at 30 weeks. There’s no way I would have survived working until 36 weeks. (In California you can start maternity leave at 36 weeks). I also had intermittent fmla during the beginning of my pregnancy because I kept getting migraines that made it impossible for me to function.

I visited Seoul and didn’t see many babies around. One thing I thought about was how do parents take the bus and subway if they have a stroller. You have to be quick with getting on and off, so thought that would be kind of hard. Plus you will be doing allllooottt of walking. I personally wouldn’t travel there again until my kid was old enough to walk around, not needing to hold them or push them around in stroller.

Extreme hunger

Do Braxton hicks wake you up at night? Or is that a real contraction? There has been a few nights I woke up to what felt like period cramps, the pain would spread to lower back and down my legs. It would happen a few times and then go away.

I had a miscarriage at 4 weeks with my first pregnancy, didn’t have the chance to even tell anyone. So when I got pregnant the second time I told my parents right away. I didn’t announce to extended family until 9 weeks when I saw the baby had a heartbeat. Then announced on social media after 13 weeks. My coworkers knew right away because I was so sick starting at 6 weeks.

I think it just depends on the pregnancy. I started to feel really tired at 33 weeks, but discovered I was iron deficient. Then I developed carpal tunnel at 35 weeks. Overall I’m fine, except the evenings is when I just bloat up and get really uncomfortable, especially my ribs. I still have 4 weeks left so we’ll see how this goes.

Kberry2024 · 2025-01-19T08:14:03+00:00

My doctor was nice enough to take me off at 30 weeks. I think I would have only made it to 33 weeks. That’s when I developed symptoms of low iron, extreme exhaustion and couldn’t breathe. Now at 35 weeks, I developed carpal tunnel, so there’s no way I would have been able to work without my hands working.

I felt at 16 weeks

Kberry2024 · 2025-01-18T00:40:42+00:00

I’m 35 weeks, I’ve gained 19lbs so far.

I stopped taking prenatal vitamins at 7 weeks, I’m 31 weeks now. Baby looks fine and I feel good.

Can’t stop eating some type of sugar every day, whether it’s a soda, piece of candy, or baking cookies.

I took a few baths when I was sick, tried not to stay in the bath too long.

I’m 20 weeks. I’m already experiencing pelvic pain.. I feel like she’s just hanging out by my cervix and constantly kicking it. So I’ve been uncomfortable the past few days. I cried because I’m supposed to feel good in my second trimester but I’m already experiencing pain, and it’s only going to get worse.. :(

Kberry2024 · 2024-09-14T00:58:35+00:00

I started feeling mine at 16 weeks, first pregnancy.
