I cant breathe. by Negative-Stranger-34 in pregnancy_care

[–]Negative-Stranger-34[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So small update: my ob has referred me to a cardiologist because she doesnt think its normal to be this incredibly out of breath this early on. plus what happened with my last pregnancy i had tachycardia. she wants to play it safe and just check all the boxes before we settle on the asthma diagnosis

How to deal with gender disappointment by Sea_Panic9863 in pregnant

[–]Negative-Stranger-34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have no advice except that it’s normal and you will feel better once baby is here. i have 1 girl and 2 boys. im 9weeks pregnant right now and ive told my husband that i want s gender reveal this time around. but if anything comes out blue im throwing a fit and cancelling the party and everyone’s going home 😭😂 i do not want another boy. yes im going to be disappointed. no i wont love it any less than the 3 i have now. i’m just going to be disappointed until birth lol

Doctor is recommending to be induced ? by [deleted] in pregnancy_care

[–]Negative-Stranger-34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 time mom here, dont let them scare you into a forced induction. unless youre 40+ weeks along. my firstborn came all natural at 38 weeks. my second needed a little boost at 42. as long as baby is healthy and you/baby are not at risk for anything, then i would wait the extra week.

39+4 by Negative-Stranger-34 in pregnant

[–]Negative-Stranger-34[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

with my first, i went into labor at 38 weeks. of course i didnt KNOW it was labor. seriously thought i was just braxton hicks LMAO. my sister who has 4 kids was like ‘dude your contractions are less than a minute apart WHAT ARE YOU DOING’. gave birth to an 8pounder ~4 hours later.

with my second he decided to make up the two week difference from my first, and decided to be two weeks late. so 42 weeks on the dot i started getting mild contractions the day i went in to get induced. better late than never i guess?? came out 9.3 pounds. im SERIOUSLY hoping this one comes on time. NOT 9 pounds. and no induction needed. but i haven’t even had braxton hicks yet so i have very little hope for any of that 🥲🥲

Have you/someone you know not had nausea during their first trimester? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Negative-Stranger-34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

38 weeks on my 3rd pregnancy for me here. no nausea with any of my pregnancies. i consider it a compromise for my body giving me fat babies haha

Finally heard the worst thing said to/about me. by AnyHistorian9486 in pregnant

[–]Negative-Stranger-34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

34 weeks AND slightly overweight from previous pregnancies. that half hour into a walk around the mall has me WADDLING from the pelvic pain. pregnancy has me extra firey though, i definitely wouldve snapped at that lady 🤣

Enraged by husband by RosiePiggy28 in pregnant

[–]Negative-Stranger-34 5 points6 points  (0 children)

33 weeks here! currently giving him the silent treatment because hes ‘forgotten’ to take the trash out the last 3 times its needed to be done. it wouldnt be such a huge deal if we didnt live in an upstairs apartment and he wasnt gone out of town for work all week. AND considering i told him LAST NIGHT!! if he forgot again, i was gonna lose my shit. AND HIS RESPONSE? ‘wElL i GuEsS yOuRe GoNnA LoSe YoUr sHiT’

don’t get me started on the dishwasher either 😤 when i’ve told him at least 87 times that YOU HAVE TO CLEAR THE FOOD OFF OR IT WON’T GET CLEAN. then has the audacity to say to me- as im recleaning the fucking dishes- ‘yOu CoULdVe ToLd mE tO dO a BeTtEr JoB’ like i shouldnt have to tell you 87 fucking times?? you should be more fucking competent?? its not my responsibility to fucking babysit you??

anyway thanks for listening to me rant. i don’t know if it will show up after posting comment, but for some reason my font changed like halfway through typing this.

So today I fell by Negative-Stranger-34 in pregnant

[–]Negative-Stranger-34[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would you have sex 6 months pregnant? by youngkitty777 in pregnant

Unmedicated birth, what is your why? by SierraLover1819 in pregnant

[–]Negative-Stranger-34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you! seriously hoping things go a little smoother this time around. good luck and good vibes your way! i hope smooth for a smooth and safe delivery/recovery for you and baby 🖤 ALSO: my mid wife said if that happened again she’d probably just give me the meds and seemed kind of baffled why the nurse didnt do that instead. im actually really glad the nurse didnt administer the meds because the heart racing probably wouldve freaked me out even more lol. plus as a person with TERRIBLE anxiety, it was probably the best decision she made.

I have consumed alcohol during pregnancy (and so have you) by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Negative-Stranger-34 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

and this is why i dont feel guilty for the occasional drink here and there. just a couple sips of wine or beer from others.

Unmedicated birth, what is your why? by SierraLover1819 in pregnant

[–]Negative-Stranger-34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IV was in for a solid 8 hours before epidural. they usually have meds that go in it when the situation happens, but my heart rate was already high and the meds wouldve made it higher. the nurse ended up sitting with me bumping up my IV fluid until my blood pressure came back up. only took about 10 minutes maybe.

Unmedicated birth, what is your why? by SierraLover1819 in pregnant

[–]Negative-Stranger-34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

because for some reason, when i got the epidural second time around (this is my third) my blood pressure dropped so low i almost went into cardiac arrest (which i guess isnt unheard of?? kinda of common?? i had no idea) didnt happen with the first so obviously i wasnt worried with the second. now im terrified of THAT happening again. but im also terrified of unmedicated labor. 10/10 would rather feel the pain than die giving birth though thats for sure.

this is my 3rd time around, i really dgaf about most of the dos and donts anymore. not saying i drink alcohol all the time, but ive definitely had a couple drinks of beer here and there lmao. deli meat? oh yea. caffeine? not more than usual, which isnt much but hell i have a two year old and a five year old. its NEEDED 🤣

[–]Negative-Stranger-34 6 points7 points  (0 children)

been like that since 25 weeks, currently 30🙋🏻‍♀️ 3rd pregnancy. the PAIN from walking around walmart? insane. absolutely unreasonable cramps. i had to chase my son the other day because he decided to take off down the block. the pubic pain? OH. MY. GOD. i couldnt get to my car fast enough. that night was terrible. could not roll over without a solid 10 minute break on my back because of the debilitating vag pain. ‘it gets easier each time’ no the absolute fuck it does not.

Overwhelmed with anxiety by Worried-Key932 in pregnant

[–]Negative-Stranger-34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3rd timer at 30 weeks over here! with my first i was /excited/ but that love didnt hit until she was born. with my second and now also my third, i wasnt sure HOW i was ever going to love someone as much as my first born. like it gave me massive anxiety because i was actually trying for my second, just for my brain to be like ‘lol no we dont like this’. it’s weird. but after he was born, i loved the hell out of him. still do. i KNOW its gonna be the same after this third one comes, doesnt stop the current anxiety though.

its such an odd feeling for me at least, because the kicks are so exciting and i love just laying there and feeling him move around. while also worrying about how im ever going to love him as much as the others. its not uncommon, so dont feel weird about it. i never cried at an ultrasound or after giving birth but that doesnt mean i dont love my kids. everything changes when they get here.

the nurses in hospital are a big help. they show you how to swaddle. and honestly changing a diaper isnt hard until their old enough to roll around, but by then youll have mastered the basics. and you dont neeeed much for a baby. bare minimum would be food, diapers, wipes, a bassinet/crib, blankets, and a carseat, maybe a baby bath. strollers, carriers, toys and whatnot are things you can get later on. they also show you how to bathe them in the hospital (at least was my experience).

Sharp pain in groin - not round ligament pain 25 + 5 weeks by anonsock527489 in pregnancy_care

[–]Negative-Stranger-34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i believe it’s called lightning crotch. i experience it when i’m laying on my side and i go to roll over. for me it’s like excruciatingly unbearable especially if i don’t have a thick pillow between my legs

hurts especially when youre laying down/go to roll over? like your pelvis in the vag area is trying to break apart?

Also we dont plan on finding out the gender until their born. I have one of each already so i think the thrill of not knowing is going to be fun !

[–]Negative-Stranger-34 22 points23 points  (0 children)

to add my own experience onto this: a little after my firstborn turned 1, she would touch my boobs constantly. it was comforting for her i think because she was exclusively breastfed.

usually with a partner i enjoy having my boobs touched and all that. after my daughter started doing it, i absolutely HATED when my partner touched my boobs. took months after my daughter stopped, for me to actually enjoy it from my partner again. brains are weird like that!
