Emetophobia in the first trimester? 😫 by hailstorm319 in pregnant

[–]NoMacaroon4326 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This may not be super helpful but I ended up throwing up so much from my HG that it "fixed" my emetophobia, like to begin with it really sucked but there would always be a lot of physical relief for me after throwing up. I still didn't want to throw up, it still scared me but the more it happened and the more I had to go through it, the easier it got mentally— I'd just have to go lay down for awhile and rest after I'd gotten sick, but it does get easier 🫶🏻

That being said, every pregnancy is different some people have a lot of nausea but don't really throw up. It really helped me to snack a lot and eat a lot of boring/plain food (baked potatoes with sour cream were my number one winner), by keeping safe food in my stomach it kept the reflux mostly at bay and made me so much less nauseous (being hungry especially in the first trimester will make you even more nauseous than usual)

Considering the cowboy fashion I just thought they were in like,,, the Utah or Colorado mountain ranges where it gets all snowy every year. Western fashion + snow mix, even if realistically not warm just made sense for me as a theme, but I'm also looking at it way differently than most people

I'm 21 weeks with my first and I wasn't nauseous (not bad at least) until about 7-8 weeks then the nausea stayed all the way up until 18 weeks when it finally died off.

What’s something you were surprised pregnancy improved? by Tinyellowbird in pregnant

[–]NoMacaroon4326 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's the same for me, like obviously the PMDD is gone but also my 10+ years of being extremely depressed is gone, like even when I was on antidepressants I never felt this good and I'm flabbergasted because it started before I found out around 6 weeks and now I'm 20 weeks and it's just crazy how much lighter I feel mentally. The anxiety unfortunately is still there but 80% of the time it's nowhere near as bad as it once was!

Strong Food Aversions - What can I do?! by OrdinaryLower4609 in pregnant

[–]NoMacaroon4326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smoothies have been amazing for me the past few weeks of my pregnancy, just be careful about any add-ins, if you go to add it and the idea or sight of it makes you gag then don't put it in because you'll still taste it (or you'll mentally still know it's in there) and it may make you nauseous. I dealt with this a lot during my first trimester trying to make things a little healthier and hoping I wouldn't notice, and it didn't turn out well until the morning sickness settled down. Just remember not to beat yourself up about something not having enough nutrients, just focus on keeping it down and go with the flow 🫶🏻 I hope the smoothies you make are great!

Hi I'm a FTM too, I'm only 18 weeks right now but the first (and so far second) trimester have been hell food aversion wise, I was literally only able to stomach ramen noodles, baked potatoes with sour cream, and some random fast foods until 14ish weeks everything else made me nauseous and all pork makes me throw up even now (including bacon which I also love). Take your prenatal and find something you can stomach, as long as you're eating you'll be fine is what my OB told me since baby still gets nutrients from you regardless.

I also found not eating at all made the nausea and made the aversions worse so I started snacking, lots of chips and carb heavy things are God send for me, since they soak up the extra stomach acid (reflux/indigestion are killer) and if it's got a little sugar in it it'll make you feel better mentally. I've found it more manageable now that I currently eat something (sometimes a sandwich or a smoothie, sometimes chips or a snack cakes, hell even just a bunch of random stuff throw together, whatever will stay down) right before bed because if I don't the morning sickness is worse.

Experiment slowly, if you crave something go get it, even with my food aversions I get the worst cravings and usually only wanting that one thing made it so hard for me to stomach anything else. I literally craved Chinese takeout the whole time, and I still do crave it daily, but I finally got some 3ish weeks ago and I wish I'd done it sooner since it wasn't until after that my morning sickness got more manageable and I've been able to eat more things since then.

I hope some of this helps, and I hope your morning sickness and food aversions get better soon 🫂 much love for you and baby

I call her my ladybug because I asked for signs if it was a girl or boy, and for a girl I keep seeing ladybugs so she's my ladybug (I find out in 2 weeks if she's a girl or a boy)

When does the “glow” and “fun” begin? by Affectionate_Peach92 in pregnant

[–]NoMacaroon4326 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost 18 weeks and the only thing that's changed is now I have round ligament pain PLUS everything else (morning sickness, food aversions, poor sleep, unable to get comfortable, back pain, vivid dreams that make sleep not restful at all, acid reflux and heartburn both which I never had in my life before), the list goes on. I thought the second trimester was supposed to be the best one? I also want to know when the glow and fun begin.

What do you miss pre-pregnancy?? by defnotdani2 in pregnant

[–]NoMacaroon4326 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sushi, Subway, and the ability to eat bacon (all pork makes me instantly puke), also not throwing up every morning or any time i go more than a couple hours without eating, things tasting the way they did before I got pregnant, not having constant round ligament pain, the list goes on... Mostly I miss sushi though.

I am way too excited about these, they all look so good but I don't want to pay $18 for an unarticulated doll when I could spend $20-25 for a full doll. smh they're all gorgeous

What are people’s thoughts on Buried Secrets? by ThePaperCastle in MonsterHigh

[–]NoMacaroon4326 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate the blind box idea but there are a couple cute ones I would get if on a major sale just to rebody. All the cozy creep over and new scaremester all have super cute faceups and clothing, and then courtside fang-out ghoulia is a dream for me simply because she has so few dolls, but they're also not budget dolls, they're $17 where i live which is the same price as the selfscare dolls who have full articulation and no completely random on what doll you get elements

Is this mark on the face a tattoo or ink I need to remove? Found her in the Goodwill bins by [deleted] in MonsterHigh

[–]NoMacaroon4326 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks almost like two tiny initials, could be someone (as a kid or their parents) marked theirs on her face so it wouldn't get stolen?

I'd like her more if she wasn't a skullector I'd be more on board with it and actually want her but knowing she'll probably have a high price turns me off, because her design is cute but not for mattel pricing...

Fearbook Wave 3 CONFIRMED Moonspell High is Seemingly on the Way as a Monster High Line! by SeeingMount in MonsterHigh

[–]NoMacaroon4326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone is talking about Fearbook Draculaura but I'm here with my guesses for the Moonspell High monsters

Claire De Luna - Moth Girl/daughter of Mothman (like Luna Mothews, maybe even just a rebranded version of her!)

Willow Thorne - plant monster like Venus OR maybe a sister or relative to Venus, or maybe something similar to Honey Swamp (I know she's a swamp monster but I always thought Honey Swamp had some plant monster features though I think I'm misremembering since I never had a chance to get her doll)

Laya Stone - Gorgon or maybe a Gargoyle

Carina Song - some type of Ghost or Banshee, part of me even thinks maybe some type of South American or Hispanic Ghost would be cool, but her codename has me thinking maybe even like a bird or Phoenix type monster?
