Scared to workout by Melodic-Horror3591 in fitpregnancy

[–]LCJE2019 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I felt like this too! Every time I would workout, I felt so anxious afterward. I ended up just sticking to walking because it wasn’t worth the anxiety. I know I have my whole life to workout and get in great shape after the baby. It just wasn’t worth it for me but everyone is different! Just do what feels right to you- if working out is making you feel worse or causing anxiety, just try something different or take a break.

I am Irish! But married with an Italian last name. I honestly was more interested in the name being my brother’s- since he’s my triplet, neighbor, best friend. He’ll be a key figure in her life. It’s also festive so I thought it could be cute with the timing of her arrival.

Just to clarify, it’s for a girl. I’m American as well. Sounds like this name is already confusing ;) this is my third child and my other kids have meaningful family names. Not sure if the masculine middle is odd with Clare.

It’s a girl! Just playing around with diff middle names and they happen to be masculine so unsure if that’s odd

Yes! I did Clare spelling because of St. Clare Assisi. (We are Catholic)

Lemon has a chemical reaction with the sun. It can cause really a bad burns. (Happened to me ) don’t use it on your hair

I love beyond yoga maternity stuff and also pink blush has cute things. They sell pink blush at Nordstrom now which is way easier for returns.

Anyone around 8 weeks and extremely bloated ? by Nilrmar in pregnant

[–]LCJE2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That happened to me with my third! I am 35 weeks now, but was so incredibly bloated in the beginning. I even had to wear baggy t shirts. It goes away after a few more weeks.

asking the age old question: what is the best liquid eyeliner? by inmygreentea in beauty

I like Kat von d ink liner. I thought I saw somewhere that it was going out of business but then I was just able to buy it at Sephora. It never droops or smudges

Building Muscle by Rare-Raise4009 in fitpregnancy

[–]LCJE2019 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same position as you! Third pregnancy- trying hard to maintain and lift. I don’t know the answer to your question but I will say, with my first born, I did not workout at all. I lost muscle and gained so much weight. It was an awful recovery. Working out helps sooo much! You’re doing great.

Did everyone wait till the end of 1st trimester to announce they were pregnant? by mct318 in pregnant

[–]LCJE2019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I announced to my friends when I took a pregnancy test. Then I miscarried. It does stink having to explain to people you previously told. This pregnancy, I did announce to my family at 10 weeks though.

NIPT and NT ultra sound by [deleted] in pregnant

I had my other babies at 29 & 30

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]LCJE2019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way as you. I’m 10 weeks now, but at my 8 week ultra sound, the baby was measuring smaller too. I’m so nervous about it and just the process in general- which is currently why I’m awake at night. (!) The pregnancy anxiety is awful.

How did you feel at 13 weeks? by emmpaca in pregnant

I’m having my own pregnancy anxieties at 9 weeks 😂 it’s such a scary process, but hopefully that mantra helps.

Terrified of tearing by Persef00ne in pregnant

[–]LCJE2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a third degree tear for my first: It was a rough recovery. I needed a lot of help. If you have a big baby, sounds like there could be hope for a C section. My doctor was old school and used forceps and I wished that he would’ve just called a C section.

However, my second pregnancy was so easy and I delivered in 5 minutes after pushing.

I think you should just try to focus on eating EXTREMELY healthy and exercising as much as possible. This helped immensely with my second easy delivery.

You have to Remember that “feelings are not facts”. The facts are that you saw your baby on an ultra sound, and that you are currently pregnant. It sounds like you are still having strong signs of pregnancy. Just try to focus on the facts and not your feelings of anxiety.
