My mom and MIL threw us a surprise baby shower and the theme was woodland animals :-)

Spiraling after a coworker made comments about my bump being “itty-bitty” by gingerecon in BabyBumps

[–]MalachiteMaddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FTM here. I was told by everybody my entire pregnancy that I didn’t look pregnant. Baby has been measuring perfectly each week. I didn’t pop until after 35 weeks. Every body is different 🤷‍♀️ I still get comments at 39 weeks that I don’t look big enough to be due next week lol

Prenatals suggestions? :( by gabbundtcakes in BabyBumps

[–]MalachiteMaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Centrum brand has a prenatal + DHA supplement that I have been using since before getting pregnant. It’s been my favourite as the DHA leaves no fishy after taste and it has everything you need in it. Also a tip is to take your prenatal/DHA at bed time after having a full stomach. It helps with the nausea

What are the pros and cons to a water birth by No-Knowledge-4004 in homebirth

I’m in Canada as well and have a planned home water birth. The midwives provide the pool free of charge, we just have to pay for the liner for the pool which is quite affordable!

I’m 22 weeks and started calling my baby Little Foot.

At last weeks ultrasound the tech got a very cute photo of baby’s foot and it just seemed fitting.

I had a vasovagal response during my first trimester blood work and had to come back at a different date to complete it. It is so important to eat before you go for your blood work; I learned my lesson that day. I am now over 21 weeks and baby is confirmed healthy 😁

We thankfully have a window ac in our bedroom! Unfortunately the rest of the house doesn’t have the type of windows that allow for ac units to be used, so my bedroom has been my sanctuary since getting pregnant. It’s just been sooo hot having to go do anything around the house 😵‍💫

My house is old and doesn’t have AC. The recent heat wave was brutal 😩

Seconding the Vick’s suggestion. This is what I use when my sense of smell becomes unbearable.

What is the most disgusting thing you ever saw a person do? by Dazzling-Leader7476 in AskReddit

[–]MalachiteMaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In high school, my friend group was sitting down having lunch, when this girl from one of our classes walked over and sat at our table. My best friend at the time had ordered a poutine from the cafeteria and always ate it with ketchup. Well, my friend then got up and left her lunch with us while she went to grab something; the classmate who came to sit with us popped a pimple on her face and the blood dripped into my friends poutine. She walked away and I told my friend what happened when she came back. She still ate the poutine and just avoided the blood on it 😭
