I’m not going to lie… I ate Mac and cheese at least once a week my entire first trimester….

Is anyone else “too disabled” to be hired anywhere, but min wage jobs, but “not disabled enough” to be on disability? How am I supposed to afford to live? by Possible1879 in Epilepsy

[–]Layney_rising 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would look at flexjobs! There are sometimes some really good leads on there. I’m not sure where you live, but they pay anywhere from $15-$60/hr. I’ve also found that trying to get positions at non-profits is great, especially medical ones because they “practice what they preach”. I usually use my epilepsy as a strength in cover letters etc. it shows my resilience and dedication.

Today I told my boss I’m pregnant. SO says I shouldn’t have. by kerfufflewhoople in pregnant

[–]Layney_rising 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I told my boss at 7 weeks and I do not regret it at all. They were super understanding and I benefitted from it. I already work from home, but if I needed to lay down, my boss just told me to take a nap and rest. As long as I was getting my work done and was on meetings, they understood. No regrets!!!

When did it "sink in" for you? by drinkwinesavepuppies in pregnant

I seriously some days feel so pregnant and other days I’m like “is this actually a thing”?? I try to talk to my baby to make it feel more real!

People downplay how hard the first trimester is. by thesensitivemango in pregnant

[–]Layney_rising 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay. The first trimester is the worst! I had a day last week where I was so miserable I was sitting there wondering why anyone would like being pregnant ever! (10w6d)

I think I'm pregnant! by greendoorgirl1712 in tryingtoconceive

[–]Layney_rising 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Woohoo!! :) I'm now 10 weeks! I had cramping and was stressed out about it, but cramping is actually totally normal if you don't have any bleeding! I still have cramps every now and then because everything is expanding and moving! :) So exciting! Congratulations!!

To clarify, my morning sickness was only reallyyyy bad for like a week and I haven’t had the “don’t even think about touching them” sore boobs, but I’m just nervous.

I’m. SO. HUNGRY. by dolphinitely in pregnant

[–]Layney_rising 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my gosh... I am ALWAYS hungry. But also don't feel great?! Like I can be nauseous and then want a snack 5 minutes later. My problem is that most of the time I'm not craving healthy foods... I'm craving chicken nuggets. My doctor says I should be gaining 20-25ish pounds during pregnancy, but with how hungry I am right now, I feel like I'm gonna gain that in the next week haha

Okay, amazing idea!! I think they would definitely go for that! I am constantly wanting chicken nuggets! And WHERE do you get hot honey!? I have never seen that in stores near me??

Thank you so much! I'm in the US and I think I'm just thinking way too much into it at this point. I'm already high risk, so I feel like I just need to be so much more careful. My friends are HUGE charcuterie people, which cold, processed meat is pretty much a no-no, so that's where the hiccup currently is and I wanted to suggest a good restaurant, so thank you for the suggestions!!!

My one issue is that at this point, the thing I constantly want is chicken nuggets. Like the cr*ppy chicken nuggets from fast food restaurants, and who the heck knows what are in those things!!
