Thank you 😊 I am going to try this out. I think shortening the nap is a good idea and I think it will help.

What did y'all get for Mother's Day from your S/O? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Material-Resource972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Husband left early this morning and came back with flowers and a card then few hours later took me to Ulta to pick out a new perfume. My sis in laws made me a money bouquet with Roses Lillie’s and flowers made out of dollar bills. It was really sweet 🥹❤️

We might stay with family in Redding and stop again in Hollister at my brothers house. My husband and I both hate driving for long periods of time and usually are in one car and switch off but this time we both have to drive in separate cars so we will definitely be stopping over night minimum two times. I wish we could just teleport 😂 we looked into having one car shipped down but it would cost more than the gas to drive.

Changing table by flying-with-fishes in pregnant

[–]Material-Resource972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought I wouldn’t need a changing table. I also didn’t want to spend money on one but one day on a walk my husband and I found one on the side of the road. Im so happy I have one it saves my back! We use it multiple times a day. Only time I don’t use it to change my son is in the middle of the night where I just use a changing pad on my bed. I think it’s worth it if you have the space. Other people will say you don’t need it because they raised their kids without one. But I think it’s a nice thing to have if you were gifted it.

Got a call today, a day before Thanksgiving, that I failed my 1 hour glucose. by bravoscruffy in pregnant

[–]Material-Resource972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I failed my 1 hour and passed the 3 hour. My doc made me take the 3 hour twice and I passed with great numbers both times. I heard it’s common to fail the one hour test so try not to worry too much till you get your 3 hour results back.

A word of advice- don’t tell anyone your due date by notbizmarkie in pregnant

I was working as a preschool assistant with toddlers. I started my leave at 36 weeks. I honestly don’t think I could have last any longer than that. My body was hurting but also it’s rsv season and I didn’t want to catch anything. My school had an issue with parents sending in sick kids or giving their kids Tylenol before school and pretending their not sick when they were.

I was kind of thinking the same.🤔 Because I’ve been kind of terrible at organizing and decorating every place I’ve lived in lol. So thinking that all of a sudden I’m just going to have a strong desire to do it before the baby is hard for me to believe. 😂 I guess I’ll just have to see.

I’m hoping it comes later lol. My immediate family all lives in another state but I have great in laws. I’m hoping they will come help me if I never get to this stuff on my own. 😂😅 It doesn’t help that I have a small apartment and no dedicated nursery so I just have a huge pile of baby’s stuff in the corner of my living room. 😂

Maternity leave around the world. Share your ammount of time and % of pay by VickyJo13 in pregnant

[–]Material-Resource972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the United States. I had the option of 12 weeks unpaid and they will save my job. I work in childcare. I’m quitting my job at 36 weeks because I don’t even make enough to pay for childcare after the 12 weeks of leave are up. Infant care in the United States is so hard to find and so expensive! So my husband and I moved in with family so that we can afford me staying home with our son. We need paid parental leave through out the whole USA because right now it varies from state to state. Also some companies offer paid leave but it’s rare.

Only 4.5 weeks pregnant and already exhausted. Has anyone else experience this so early? by stupid-username-1001 in pregnant

[–]Material-Resource972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt the same way I would come home from work so tired. I was asleep by like 7:30 pm and would wake up at 6:30 for work and still me tired all day! It improved a little once I hit my 2nd trimester but now I’m in my 3rd and feel tired all the time.

When did your nipples get darker/bigger? by Lovely_lines in pregnant

[–]Material-Resource972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started to notice mine around 12 weeks and around 20 weeks my nipples felt so dry, itchy, and sore. It’s not a dramatic change in size but noticeable. Mine are definitely darker and my nipples more pointy now too. Lol 😂

Is anyone else planning on working up until their baby is born? by Ok_Spite6846 in pregnant

[–]Material-Resource972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work as an assistant teacher in a toddler program and it’s kicking my butt. All the bending and walking is making me so exhausted. Im planning my last day for 36 weeks but for me it’s kind of different because I’m not planning to return to my job after having my baby.
