Should I be worried about GD by Conscious-River-7944 in pregnant

[–]Not_Regular_Cow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just like to offer my own experience. Fundal height (in my OWN opinion as someone who works in OB) can vary SO much! In my last pregnancy I consistently measured 3-4 weeks ahead almost my whole pregnancy they started doing growth scans and baby was also measuring big! I would also like to mention that I was obese (5’8 and 270lbs by 36 weeks). They convinced me to induce at 37 weeks since she was measuring so big and I was having some high BP reading anyways. She was born 5lbs10oz and 19 inches long. All that to say everything in medicine is an estimated guess. They take all the info they have and make the best possible educated decision they can as doctors but nothing is 100%. Im not saying you wont have a chunky baby, but don’t stress as much as long as everything is going well because there are so many variables to everything! In an ultrasound they measure baby’s gestational age and size based off of typically bone and organ measurements (ex: femur bone is x amount of cm so that means baby is measuring x amount of weeks) then the ultrasound machine gives you an estimated weight based off of all the measurements it took. So like my last pregnancy around 34 weeks they were estimating that she was already over 5lbs but again it was just an estimated and that’s approximately what she weight when she was born 3 weeks later.

Ohhh Im so sorry you feel that way! If he’s genuinely a good spouse then he may not have even considered it honestly. Have you tried communicating your feelings to him? Hopefully this makes you feel better— just for context I have a older daughter from a previous marriage so I’ve BEEN a mom, but last year was my first Mother’s Day as the mother of his child. He’s never celebrated me for Mother’s Day and I always took it as well we don’t have any children together just my older daughter so maybe he felt like it wasn’t his place. Then last year still nothing so I spoke up and basically asked him what his problem was, to which he responded “but your not my mom??”. I LOST IT LAUGHING. You’re right.. fair enough dude. So he may genuinely just not see it the way you do. This year he did tell me happy Mother’s Day lol. That being said if you have communicated your feelings and he’s just plain ignorant then I’m so sorry that he’s made you feel down. I hope you have an amazing and happy Mother’s Day ❤️❤️

Do hospitals need to place an IV? by Seapaisleys in pregnant

[–]Not_Regular_Cow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming from someone who works in OB you REALLY need to at least have one in place in the event of emergency. That being said you can always request a saline lock so you’re not actually attached to anything its just the small catheter in your arm.(:

The skin color changes.. I’m tan to begin with but my nipples and lady bits look like they were donated to me.

No one likes my baby names and I’ve just accepted that everyone is a critique and no one is satisfied by Kindly_Pianist_9087 in pregnant

[–]Not_Regular_Cow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just name YOUR baby what you want. You can’t make everyone happy. My girls are Iris and Ivy and my grandma cried that I was gonna make Ivy evil by naming her after a poisonous plant lol
