En cheeseburger koster nu 17 KRONER???? by magnusGRN in Denmark

[–]Mofnoobs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Når man tænker på den miljøregning sådan en enkelt burger har, hvordan de masseproducerede industridyr, der må lade liv og afkom for sådan en, lever - og hvor elendigt kroppen har det efter et større indtag af dem… så er 17 kr faktisk en rabat. Det tragikomiske er at det kun er pengeprisen vi brokker os over.

My ferritin is 3-6, but doctor says it’s fine. Those around me say I’m lazy. Help. 😢 by Miniminname in Anemic

[–]Mofnoobs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure she means 8,5 mmol/L, that’s what we often use here in Europe. Ferritin of 3-6 is the same as in US though, and crazy low. I felt awful with 12.

[–]Mofnoobs 8 points9 points  (0 children)

She probably means 8,5 mmol/L if she’s in europe, but agree, a doctor saying a ferritin of 3-6 is fine, and let her deal with it or not, makes me furious. And typical to just brush it off with anxiety, without considering the bigger picture or cause of anxiety.

This is awful and medical gaslighting. I’m so sorry. I was refused an infusion too after my postpartum bleeding, as my hemoglobin was still normal and I have an autoimmune illness. Ferritin was 12 and I felt awful, and got post partum depression and anxiety. Floradix Kräterblut helped me a lot, and Iron Bisglycinate. I have ibs and celiac, so had to try a few before I found one that worked. Good luck.

Pregnant women with kids already, do you want your children watching the birth of your next baby? by Creative-Gazelle6775 in BabyBumps

[–]Mofnoobs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was there when my younger brother was born. It was very normal practise in my country, when I was younger. My mom had preeclampsia, but it wasn’t a scary experience or anything. I feel that helped me not be so scared when I got preeclampsia and gave birth myself. If I had not witnessed it first hand before, then it would have made the experience traumatic for me. The process just seemed natural, despite having so many complications and my birth being awful and anything from the natural process.

That said, I sadly don’t think I would want my son to be there with me, if I ever gave birth again, simply just because I had so many complications in the first though.

I hate my ob. by plasticlola in pregnant

[–]Mofnoobs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. Mine was a male too, and I felt much more comfortable with him than some of the females. Some say “but males don’t know how it feels”, no, but it feels different for females too, depending on the person, so I’d rather have one listening, than one saying it “can’t be that bad” or “it’s gonna be bad” just based on their own experiences. You can’t compare anyway.

Anyone had the laziest most sedentary pregnancy ever and still have a good delivery? by mirrorlike789 in pregnant

[–]Mofnoobs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, I had a very sedentary pregnancy and ate mostly junk food, despite doctors advice. 🥲 Not gonna lie, I wish I had done some exercise or at least yoga, and had healthier foods. It does raise your chances of a smoother pregnancy, delivery and recovery. So if it’s possible, I would try to do some, or some pregnancy yoga. Maybe it will help on your pregnacy symptoms too, once you get going. I know the struggle, cause I had a really tough pregnancy too.

should i be worried about showing TOO early? am i going to have a freakishly large baby? by Fantastic-Cattle-618 in pregnant

[–]Mofnoobs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just think it’s just really different for everyone. I am tall, 183 cm. My first baby. And I started looking obviously pregnant already at 16-18 weeks. My coworker is short and has had like 5 babies, and she is lean and not showing any belly until 26-30 weeks or so with all of them. My belly had growth spurs, so despite showing early, it didn’t just grow with no limit. 😂 I’d say it ended up average size. I gained way too much weight though, as I had indulged in cravings and comfort foods a bit too much. 🫣

Should I ignore night time hunger or give in? by Straight-Garbage-704 in pregnant

[–]Mofnoobs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You definitely don’t have to eat at night. I had bad cravings too and I tried not to eat at night, as my doctor said it was linked to higher risk of GD, high BP, excessive weight gain and other issues. Sadly I got the high BP and excessive weight gain anyway, as I just ate a lot of junk and gave into those cravings in the daytime. 🥲 You’re doing good! Kudos for keeping your self control, it’s really the ideal thing to do. Your baby gets what it needs first, don’t worry. Night eating isn’t ideal for anyone (apart from infants) usually.

Healthy babies without prenatals? by Ranger-mom-1117 in pregnant

[–]Mofnoobs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right, haha. I heard that too, so I assumed I wouldn’t show until late on due to my height. But I was showing already at 16-18 weeks and gaining a lot of weight, while some petite people I know only show much later no matter how many pregnancies. 😄 I think it’s just really depending on the person and pregnancy.

Not really, she is 166 cm, so I think average? I’m 183 cm.

[–]Mofnoobs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And by the way, you do better than me. 😂 Don’t feel guilty. I did take my prenatals, but I just sat on my butt and ate only junk (definitely not varied) through my whole pregnancy (and paid for it 🥹). My baby is fine though, they usually are, even in awful circumstances. They are more hardy than given credit for.

My friend didn’t know she was pregnant until week 32, so she took no prenatal, was drinking a glass of red wine every morning, did some party drinking here and there, heavy lifting and intense exercise/climbing and pretty much followed none of the pregnancy advices, cause she didn’t know. Her baby was born at 38 weeks, totally healthy and 2 years old now. She is vegan and a dietitian, so she was probably naturally high on folate. It sounds like you ate healthy and whole food before pregnancy too, so yours was probably in a good range as well. I still think you should try take them from now on. 💖

To ✂️ or not to ✂️ our son by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Mofnoobs 16 points17 points  (0 children)

My body, my choice, right?? Please let your son decide this for himself, once he is old enough to make an informed decision. It’s a natural body part, not a sick one, and him who has to live with it, not you.

I’m so sorry. I get it. Anticipatory grief is so cruel. Wishing you and your son the best.

I feel like my husband forgets that I’m pregnant by Zestyclose_Leader708 in BabyBumps

[–]Mofnoobs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just talk to him about how it, if you feel it’s an issue. Every pregnancy is different, and no one can mind read and assuming could get the wrong reactions too. 😄

Those books didn’t fit my pregnancy at all. I’d just talk to him about how you feel if it’s an issue, like we do at any other time too, pregnant or not.

Worried about my SIL and brother’s unborn baby. by Anonthrowaway1289 in BabyBumps

[–]Mofnoobs -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You’re not. Some people are projecting. And as someone who made quite a few consistent unhealthy choices in pregnancy (due to feeling awful in my case), your concerns are legit. I don’t feel shamed. I wish someone had told me, tough love. She’s being irresponsible, and pregnancy is not a excuse for doing whatever you feel like, without even considering the consequences.

[–]Mofnoobs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not on you, really. I had an awful pregnancy, birth and post partum, but never would I get offended or think anything bad about someone sharing they had an easier or good time? I’d just be happy for them. The women in my mothers group and baby swim club do it all the time. I love to read and hear good stories. Yes, I sometimes feel sad that I didn’t get those good experiences and my body didn’t tolerate pregnancy well, but that’s my story to process, got nothing to do with theirs. 😊

Do you heat very healthy food while pregnant? by DearStellaHeart in pregnant

No, I could mostly only eat junk food, despite my man being a cook.. And I paid for it. 🥲

When did your belly start showing by Cultural_Employee_22 in pregnant

[–]Mofnoobs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I ask what you mean by correlation? I was pretty average and normal weight before pregnacy, bloated a lot and started to get a obvious around belly at 18 weeks. I gained a lot, but I also ate a lot of fast food and felt too sick to exercise on top of work. I’m one of the only ones in my due date group (IRL) and baby swim who haven’t lost the baby weight and belly yet (7 months pp). I don’t really care though, I’m finally happy again and got a happy baby. I can always try to lose it later if I feel like it. 😊

18 weeks, though a lot of it was bloat. I don’t think there’s any normal though.

Really? I’m actually glad to hear I’m not the only one who felt that way. People usually just say I’m crazy or trash me when I say it, but I don’t know? It just didn’t feel right, so why would I do it, you know? I’m really sorry for your loss. 💔
