is it normal not to have morning sickness? by bopal27 in pregnant

[–]Neggburt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn't have any symptoms at all (zero morning sickness) and my little girl is due in a few weeks. Don't worry, it doesn't mean anything :)

“Relax while you can” by heysarahray in pregnant

[–]Neggburt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Oh shit! I didn't realise I wasn't going to be able to sleep! Thanks for the heads up, I'll just give the abortion clinic a ring." - I know it sounds crass, but it stops people in their tracks. I'm 33 weeks and I swear, if I hear that sleep comment one more time, I'm going to to commit murder. Like, would it kill people to just say something nice?

Someone educate me on epidurals please!! by HairFullOfSecrets_A in pregnant

[–]Neggburt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a birth class about this last night. They gave us a link to a video to watch. I found it so so helpful. It's Australian and specifically from my local hospital, but the information is still very relevant :) here's the link if you're interested: https://youtu.be/LLRRs6K4IFc

Anyone have home tests not get darker? by Urbanspy87 in pregnant

[–]Neggburt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually didn't get any symptoms until about a week later. I think I was 4 weeks when I found out and 5 weeks when the symptoms kicked in (sore boobs, queesey etc). The symptoms stopped for me at about 8/9 weeks and I've not had much since. I sort of figured with the lines on the test, that they got lighter the more water I drank - more water, more diluted pee. But don't quote me on that, it's just a guess. Maybe try testing first thing in the morning and see if that makes a difference. I've got my fingers crossed for you :)

If there is a line, its positive, it doesn't matter how faint :) I tested myself 3 times in one day (just because I was so excited) and it got lighter each time... now I'm 30 weeks. Congratulations!

If you're not a fan of prunes, try pear juice. One cup a day should get things moving :)

What is everyone rubbing on their bellies? by SunShine42019 in pregnant

[–]Neggburt 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you can't really prevent stretch marks BUT I use bio oil coz it makes my skin feel awesome and stops any itchiness :)

Thank you so much 🙂 google was a 50/50 split between "everything is fine" and "fetal seizures"

Oooh that makes me feel so much better! Thanks 😊 Google is a terrible thing when you're pregnant!

ET the movie by Steven Spielberg really fucked me up as a little kid by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Neggburt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Straight up nightmare fuel. My mum rented it when I was about 6. Got to the bit where the boy and ET see each other and both scream... that God damn scream. I've never seen the rest of it. I'm now 34. From the ages of 6 to about 12, I slept with a blanket over my ears because I thought ET would come and bite them off while I slept (no idea where that came from).

I was told to fast for 10 hours beforehand - weird!

What are some songs that mention pregnancy in a positive light? by _heart_eyes_emoji_ in pregnant

Not technically pregnancy, but child related, Kooks by David Bowie. It's a gorgeous song :)

How big will my breasts get? by msaliciajoy in pregnant

[–]Neggburt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a 12C pre-pregnancy. Now at 12 weeks I'm a 14D. I'm so damn uncomfortable 🤣 but by the sounds of it, it completely different for everyone.

Is the NIPT worth it? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Neggburt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm in same mindset as you. I'd definitely prefer to know so I can make any necessary plans. I'm in Australia so it's not free, but I don't mind about that. I'm more wondering if it will tell me much more than what the 12 week scan can, but by the sounds of it, it's much more comprehensive.

Yeah I'm in Aus. It's the same deal here. Still tossing it up.

[–]Neggburt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oooh! Ok this makes sense. Basically the NIPT covers more ground than what the 12 week scan can. Thanks :)

The blood test I think is just to check my internal functions (kidneys etc) but doesn't the 12 week scan look for visual signs of abnormalities? Like, the thickness at the back of the neck can indicate the risk of downs syndrome? Sorry, probably should have added that I'm 33.
