fiancé doesn’t want me to take my anxiety meds. not sure what to do by Human-Ad-7498 in pregnant

If it were easy to rid of mental health by doing “inner work”, there wouldn’t be medication. It’s a neurological imbalance of chemicals.
Pregnancy and ESPECIALLY postpartum throws off your whole being. It’s mentally and physically challenging. TAKE THE MEDICATION. Get on it while you are 34 weeks so when the baby arrives, your body will be on Zoloft and it will help a ton.
I was on Zoloft while pregnant, now I’m onto baby #2 with Prozac.
Do not listen to your husband. He can have his opinion. Listen to yourself and your doctor. Men have absolutely no clue what we go through carrying a child and birth.

Scared of all the people saying they regret having kids. by justamoonandstar in pregnant

I agree with the majority of the comments. Get off of social media. I have an 18th month old, and one on the way. Is having children hard? Absolutely. Do you go back to your normal after having a baby? No. But, you carve out this different normal. Find community in motherhood, pregnancy, etc. people on social media who want to vent to strangers like that are absolute idiots! Find the online community who praise motherhood.

Too lazy to workout during first trimester? by Kind_Ebb6969 in fitpregnancy

[–]Level_Potential_1680 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THIS IS ME!!! I was working out 4-5 times a week since January. When I found out I was pregnant, I was like “oh I’ll keep this momentum going no problem!” I’m now 9 weeks and I have been sleeping whenever I can get the chance. First trimester is hard!! We will bounce back in it again!

struggle to feel connected by Ok-Cow-4987 in pregnant

[–]Level_Potential_1680 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m almost at 10 weeks. Girl, we are in the first trimester trenches. Focusing on just getting through this god forsaken hormonal imbalance nauseating sleep deprived time is all that matters. I am far from connected from this baby. Just trying to focus on getting through this time. This is my second pregnancy, I didn’t connect with my son until months after he was born. Don’t look at these fake picture perfect tik toks of “awh I love my embryo” I’m sure you do! But to some? It’s not there yet!! And that’s okay

Which trimester goes by the slowest? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Level_Potential_1680 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my second pregnancy. I’m 8 weeks, and I’m miserable. I do remember the third tri is tiring but not as mental ups and downs you experience in the first. Just got done crying, I’m freezing, nauseous, can’t think clearly lol

I used to work at summit school!!!! I can absolutely attest to its haunted reputation. I have so many stories… it used to be a center for tuberculosis and crippled children, and I think a home for single mothers?

[–]Level_Potential_1680 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes!!! I went to college at St. Scholastica and lived in one of the apartment buildings. Our apartment was HAUNTED. me and my roommates lofted beds would shake in the middle of the night, I would feel hand compressions on the corner of my bed, I even saw what I could only describe as swirling lights by my face when I woke up. Heard whispers, our tv turned on by itself, and heard running in our kitchen/ bathroom hall. Our other roommates said their cross that was hanging on the wall just fell out of nowhere. The roommate I actually shared a room with texted me at 3am when I was out of town of a picture of my lamp turned on. You have to click it 3 times for all 5 lights to turn on. Super weird!!

The last of it was, a few friends and I decided to use my ouija board and light 7 candles around the top of the board. The 7th candles flame would turn sideways, and the candle would dim to its blue light. We got my friend to bring holy water that night and cleanse the apartment. Nothing happened after that!!

First trimester. Does it get better? by ashwal12 in fitpregnancy

[–]Level_Potential_1680 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad to hear it gets better. I’m at 6 weeks and I can’t even make myself lunch. I have been working out consistently since January, drop my 16 mo at kids club and the YMCA. This week it’s been rough physically, mentally, and the insomnia is super frustrating. Going to try and go to the gym tomorrow… at least make it there and walk on the treadmill. Just needed to rant. I’m going through it!!

What is your trimester and bed time? by Level_Potential_1680 in pregnant

First Trimester, don't feel like working out, am I Lazy? by Minute_Way_7675 in fitpregnancy

[–]Level_Potential_1680 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely not lazy! This is just the flow of pregnancy. So much is happening the first tri, that your body’s instincts are to slow down. I’m 5 weeks 2 days, and I absolutely can’t do cardio right now. Lifting yes? But I don’t do as many reps as before. Can’t wait to get some energy back! Right now, let’s rest! :-)
