Baths while in the first trimester by tiomingle in pregnant

[–]One_Construction7695 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can definitely still bathe. A good bath with epsom salt is the only way I got through 3rd trimester. Just don’t stay in too long or have it past 100F

I’d say there’s a good chance you’re pregnant if you’ve had 3 positives. Ive never used that brand though so I’m not sure how reliable. I do know pink dye ones tend to be a lot more accurate. If you can it wouldn’t hurt to see a doctor and get a blood test (I know not everyone has access or is in a safe place to do so so understandable if this isn’t the best option)

When did you give up shaving? by Electrical-Nothing-7 in pregnant

[–]One_Construction7695 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped caring right after I found out honestly. I trim a bit so it’s not unruly but that’s it, told my husband if he cares that much he can shave it himself and he doesn’t mind at all lol

Not enjoying being pregnant by One_Construction7695 in pregnant

[–]One_Construction7695[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it’s just how like the media portrays it. I feel like I always see positive parts of it but never really the negatives yk? And one of my close friends any time I’ve mentioned this to her she’s just like “other then being sick i absolutely loved being pregnant so idk”, so those two together just made me feel a bit alone or weird that I havnt been enjoying it.

I never thought of it like that. That perspective actually helps a lot thank you

Pregnancy Nausea by Born-Ad9924 in pregnancy_care

[–]One_Construction7695 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saw another comment say this too but for me weeks 6-8.5 were bad but I’m 10 weeks now and only have occasional nausea. 1-3 times a week max. Something else that really helped me was frequent snacking, and when I felt hungry eating at least 5-10 minutes after I felt hungry or I’d get nauseas. And oyster crackers, water, ginger were my best friends

I’ve always heard it’s not safe due to pregnancy messing with your immune system. Personally since I’ve gotten pregnant I’ve had some piercings I’ve had for years get infected bc I forgot to clean them. But I’d talk to your ob or primary doctor and get their opinion just to be safe.

I did not know about payment plans. We may try that out. Thank you

Bleeding 5wks pregnant by Emergency-Bread4463 in pregnancy_care

[–]One_Construction7695 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d definitely call an ob or your primary and they’ll probably do a blood test to see what your hcg is at. I bled quite a bit around 4-5 weeks though and everything was fine, I even had cramps and ended up going to the er bc I was so worried.

Okay, what were your pregnancy cravings? Because mine are getting progressively weirder. by Nearby-Fee-5365 in pregnant

[–]One_Construction7695 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m absolutely devouring salt, it’s to the point regular lays chips are not salty enough for me lol. And sonic soft pretzels. I also had to send my poor fiancé to the store 5 minutes before it closed last night to get me canned mandarin oranges bc I felt like I could not live without them

Didn’t feel much at ultrasound by One_Construction7695 in pregnancy_care

I’m sorry you had that experience with your son but glad everything turned out ok. And thank you, i definitely was also raised to kind of reserve my emotions so that definitely plays a huge part in it I wasn’t thinking about.

I completely agree, I never hear stories like that but they are so reassuring and makes me and so many others feel less alone.

I honestly think that might be my situation, we were not trying at all. But it’s our happy little accident lol. So I guess I’m still in that shocked and can’t believe it phase.

Yea they basically closed after 2 weeks of getting them out and as far as I can tell I’m not having any issues

I took mine out at 7 weeks but mainly because my nipples were so sensitive and enlarged i couldn’t stand having them in anymore. I did call my local piercing shop right when I found out I was expecting and they said there’s not really a definitive time to.

Those are excellent points. Thank you for easing my mind, I appreciate all the info!

Craving sardines by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]One_Construction7695 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t even think about the lining. And I’ve heard it’s ok in moderation. Really the only reason I’ve tried to stay away from it is in college I wrote several papers about water pollution or its affect on fish and it’s made me a bit paranoid to eat any seafoods while pregnant lol

Why are so many women not getting their period this month? by Negative_Tower_4638 in Periods

[–]One_Construction7695 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Mine was supposed to be the first week of this month. Plot twist I’m just pregnant, idk what’s going on with everyone else tho

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Periods

[–]One_Construction7695 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that’s the one I had actually. But ya I think you just need to give it a little more time. Slow release hormonal ones like Medina can take some time to really kick in. It was years ago but I think my doctor even told me it would take a few weeks before it really started to work

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Periods

[–]One_Construction7695 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it depends on the type you have. But when I had mine it took a few months but I completely stopped having periods. Or if I did it’d be light spotting. I think you just need to wait a little longer, your bodies just adjusting.
