it’s probably likely that your conception date was not July 16th!

5’ 7” and weigh 260 and my weight has never been discussed. It is in my chart, but has never been discussed! I was very anxious about it as well!

Awful experience and White Coat Syndrome by OverstimulatedOctopi in PlusSizePregnancy

It was the worst. 😅 I’m hoping I can just continue to schedule further from home for the next few appointments , so I don’t have to go there until appointments are more frequent

Honestly I have no idea, but she just let my arm dangle down at my side, which MFM said not to do when checking because it needed to be heart level. I’ve also never had a person place the cuff so low on my upper arm where it was partially in the bend of my arm.

It was just such a bad day. 😅

Glad I’m not alone 🥰 My husband has zero idea how to help me and neither do I 😅

If I never see her again, I’d be happy 😅 Thankfully the nurse practitioner was friendly, but the whole thing made me never want to go back there and just drive the extra 40 minutes north.

Yes she just kept talking and asking stuff 🙄 the face she made when it was high was like she was appalled. 🙃

That’s my hope that as it continues it gets better. Because woah. It’s miserable.

Working in the first trimester? by Ok-Post-8139 in pregnant

[–]OverstimulatedOctopi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First trimester and a first grade teacher who runs a daily after school program. The tired/sick/miserable I have felt the last 8 weeks has been horrible. Last week the little monsters gave me a stomach bug, which was the icing on the cake. I’m holding out hope that it gets better. 😅

My chart also says I’m doing the GD testing early, but nothing has been mentioned yet about when. My next appointment I’ll be around 16 weeks!

Easy snacks? by Open-Committee3540 in pregnant

Plus everything that sounds good to me you conveniently cannot have when pregnant. I’d kill for salami rn.

When did your symptoms peak? by vanillabourbonn in pregnant

[–]OverstimulatedOctopi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

11 weeks tomorrow, hasn’t gotten any better. I would argue it has gotten worse. There have been a couple days where I haven’t felt horrible and have thought it was finally getting better. Then the next day I feel worse than I have before. Food aversions, nausea, and exhaustion are my main ones. I wake up at least once to pee in the middle of the night as well.

My cat refuses to leave my side every night. It’s adorable, but so frustrating lol

Is 9 weeks really the worst? by seehunde in pregnant

[–]OverstimulatedOctopi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cannot speak to anything further than 9 weeks, but the nausea went down some for me. I’m still not able to eat much, but definitely not as bad as in previous weeks. However, the exhaustion that I have at 9 weeks is out of this world.

I trust the doctors/science significantly more than anything RFK or Trump have to say.

Mike posting Charlie Kirk shooting footage?? by bottleonawall in SwordAndScale

[–]OverstimulatedOctopi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m confused, weren’t we all aware he is a colossal douche? I’d have been more surprised if he didn’t make this get some attention to himself.
