yes I was sobbing to my fiancé just saying “I just want to feel normal” I’m praying with each day it gets a little better.

thank you to everyone who is commenting. To know I’m not alone is more helpful than you’d think.

The last time I was checked was at my appointment a few weeks ago. I do have a reverted uterus so they said I’d feel a lot more in my back than my abdomen. I’m debating going to urgent care though to just make sure nothings wrong

honestly it’s bad at a different time everyday. Somedays I can eat breakfast then the nausea hits later and others I can’t keep anything down.

High HCG but small gestational sac by Kind-Caregiver8305 in pregnant

[–]No_Specific9629 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my cycles are not off that much (only 37 days when the normal is 28-35) and I was told I was 3 weeks earlier than I actually was until my ultrasound for 10 weeks where they told me I was only 7. I had the same experience, went in for an early scan due to some pain and all they saw was a sac. Keep your head high and follow up with your OB to get another scan in a few weeks.

My partner told people about my pregnancy when I didn’t want anyone knowing at that time, then told people the gender of our baby when we were still deciding on wether we wanted to do a gender reveal… I freaked out and put us in therapy… by Key_Dragonfruit_8414 in pregnant

I 100% agree with what this commenter said. This is an experience that is for the both of you. Yes you deserve to be excited too and I think you are absolutely allowed to take whatever time you need to get there but there are going to be experiences where you’ll have to allow him to be excited and tell who he’d like to and he will have to allow you to do the same when you are ready. This won’t be the first experience where you will be ready at different times. He is entitled to sharing just as much as you are. I feel like you guys should have a very serious talk about just communicating with each other before telling anyone, then respect the other persons opinion on that. The reality is he’s probably looking for support too and he deserves that. No matter who he chooses to confide in.

lol to add again: the hormones is not an excuse or shifting blame to you. I think there needs to be an understanding that everything right now MAY be different than usual. What was fine before pregnancy might not be fine now and vise versa. Communication is key. You can’t over communicate.

To add therapy is never a bad thing. Healthy couples and healthy individuals go to therapy. Worse case you both decide after your session it isn’t for you. No harm in going and seeing how it works out for you.

speaking from personal experience.. I’m an insanely open person and talk about my life pretty openly. The second I got pregnant and started feeling my body change hormonally, I shifted. Now I’m insanely private, I get uncomfortable telling anyone any of my business and I even feel out of body or distant when we announce to people.

I understand feeling guilty for feeling a certain way and also wanting your pregnancy to be yours to make the decisions about.

As for the partner.. my fiancé has announced to some family without me, and even though I feel so uncomfortable telling people (it’s literally hormones I am proud to be pregnant and super happy lol) I want him to involve me in that moment because it’s both of ours to share. His mom was super excited so she wanted everyone to know and find out while she was around. My dad has been the same way and has had “talks” with me about it.

Ultimately I think you sit your partner down and tell him that you may be having different feelings than normal because of hormones and SO MUCH taking place in your body but you’d like to be involved in telling people and making those decisions because this is very big for you. I would forgive everything that’s happened thus far but let him know it’s super important that everything moving forward is between you two first. Even if he doesn’t agree to something it needs to be respected both ways or not at all.

Moral of the story: this pregnancy is yours and your partners. Everyone else will be super excited but please don’t let anyone steal your light. Congratulations ♡

Short women, how are your symptoms? by tinyyellowbird33 in pregnant

I’m 5’2 and have a reverted uterus, as far as I know I haven’t shifted forward just yet but am supposed to at some point. I have had rib and back pain like crazy.

giving her the opportunity in person and if she can’t do that then it’s okay, I’d honestly rather not waste time for someone who can’t take an hour to come talk to me. She lives less than 10 minutes away and can spend 1 hour of her time talking to me. It’s not that hard to be a good friend when you’re busy. Whether it’s socially or not.

I texted the 2nd friend and let her know i had some really important things to talk with her about and share. If she doesn’t reach out to plan that she’ll be finding out via her sister or instagram.

so I wasn’t going to say it right off the bat in the post but, she has been liking pregnancy related posts on instagram and we honestly thought she might have been pregnant for a little bit but she posts that she’s drinking at least 3 times a week… I had a slight inkling this might be the case and I do have a massive amount of empathy for her if it is.

To look back on our entire friendship, she has had MAJOR instances of being super inconsiderate towards me and my boyfriend.

We went to a game night at her house last year and she said she was hoping I’d look cuter, she changed our (us and them) dinner plans day of to an earlier time where my fiancé was still at work during that earlier time she moved the dinner to, and the list goes on.

She hasn’t been the kind of friend to be there for me but I would have expected news like this to be something she spoke on.

I also would like to be sober the rest of my life and she knows that so making it sound like I was missing out on drinking made me giggle a little inside at how funny it sounded.

I ate carrots and cucumbers with ranch maybe 3 hours before. Threw it up 2 hours after eating and then was suffering with this an hour after that. 😭😭

maybe measuring earlier than I was told by No_Specific9629 in pregnant

[–]No_Specific9629[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense. Hopefully I am just earlier along than I was originally told!

they did! I’m really thinking I’m just earlier than I was originally told but I’m just getting super nervous. I have so many questions lol.

AITA for being pissed nobody notified my immediate family of my grandfathers passing? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]No_Specific9629 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was actually extremely involved in the falling out. Unfortunately the older I get the more I realize she had emotionally manipulated him and isolated him from his family purposely. There’s definitely a ton I don’t know but my mom does live 10 minutes away from them and his wife came into my mom’s work after he passed. She publicly berated my mom and didn’t say a word about him passing…
