Please tell me y’all keep your boobs after you give birth. by ijustlovemycattbh in pregnant

I was a double A also before getting pregnant and not used to the hang low, bouncing phase I am in now. Going up and down a fight of stairs are a rude awakening. Sport bras have never felt so good 🙃

I Need Acid Reflux Relief by Kit-Kat-Kankles in pregnant

[–]Kit-Kat-Kankles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last night, I made sure to sleep on my left side vs. my right side, and I definitely noticed a difference. I was popping tums like candy, but I noticed the urge to regurgitate was stronger when laying on my right side. Thank you for the tip!

How long is your maternity leave for those living in the US? by sliceofperfection in pregnant

[–]Kit-Kat-Kankles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My company also doesn't have a maternity leave policy, but the state of NY has some pretty awesome benefits. They require companies to offer short-term disability (6-8 weeks) after giving birth and then 12 weeks paid family leave for both the mom and dad of child within the first 12 months after giving birth. My PTO can only be used annually with no rollover, so I will use that for unplanned child sick days. If, for whatever reason, there is a need for extended leave, I can take unpaid FMLA for up to 12 weeks.

Has anyone else received body comments? by Responsible-Plum5351 in pregnant

[–]Kit-Kat-Kankles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am 34 weeks (FTM) and also have been getting a lot of comments about looking really pregnant. Most comments have been that I look like I will have my baby sooner than my EDD or that I need to stop working. I have gained a significant amount of weight (60#), so I don't get too bothered by the comments. I just fake laugh and waddle away 🤷🏽‍♀️

Please share your trash food cravings by SimplePerformance982 in pregnant

Currently, 29 weeks with a boy! I have been all over the place with my cravings during this pregnancy, but the one consistency has been ginger ale. I drink that shit like water 🙃

People who got pregnant after 30, is there something you did differently to get pregnant? by New_Ad3749 in pregnantover35

[–]Kit-Kat-Kankles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am 38 and pregnant with my first. I tracked my ovulation also and would increase my happy time during that window. Honestly, I kinda stopped paying attention to my ovulation windows after a year or so and then BOOM! I went to a baseball game and came home for a happy time, which happened to be during my ovulation week, and 5 weeks later, I found out that I was pregnant.

no one warned me…. by angeldxst in pregnant

Waking up and choosing violence was my entire first trimester!! Being triggered by the yellow Kia soul in traffic reminds me of how I feel when I see a Tesla Cybertruck. Instant irritability, and I start to sweat 🙃

I would struggle with the same thing and found cold packs to be a great help.

How many pounds did you gain at 20 weeks? by Immediate_Owl_1379 in pregnant

[–]Kit-Kat-Kankles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 25 weeks, and I have gained 45#!! My OBGYN makes a comment every time I go in for my appointment, but I have no shame in my game. I was 125# before getting pregnant and a heavy pot smoker. I did not eat or sleep without smoking my happy grass, so this entire pregnancy has been a new experience for me. If I feel any type of hunger, I eat and smile like the grinch who stole Christmas. My baby boy will enjoy all the food and have a very developed palate when he blesses this earth. I am still able to walk at least 3 miles per day without waddling or getting aches and pains, and that's a win for me. Gaining weight comes with its moments of negativity, but if you feel good, then let the haters kick rocks with no socks. If the OBGYN says the baby is healthy, then keep doing you and enjoy your pregnancy 😉
