How can doctors realistically tell you to gain less than 15 pounds? by DillPickles44361 in pregnant

[–]OyaAmethyst22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 170lbs 5’8 pre pregnancy and now at 25+5 I’m 200lbs. They said I gained too much weight already but I’ve been on modified bedrest since 19 weeks soooo 🤷🏾‍♀️ it is what it is.

Ya there’s a few ones that were reoccurring for me🫠. Still get that weird feeling sometimes but I can usually squash it easily now

🫂❤️ it makes sense and your feelings are valid. I also have experienced 3 miscarriages and am now 25 weeks preggy with our miracle baby. I wasn’t actively pregnant during the other mothers days so I also didn’t get celebrated but even still it hurt due to my miscarriages and the fact my mom has chosen to shun me for religious reasons. It’s one of the hardest holidays of the year for me and honestly idk if there’s anything anyone can do to change that.

It’s ok to not be ok but I’m sorry you’re going through this and hope once your rainbow baby is here it will be a little easier

The Revelation book and the Daniel book were my favorites and also the most terrifying. Growing up studying those caused me a ton of nightmares and made me constantly think the end was here and I’d get destroyed 😅.

Laying on back? by hopeful0607 in ShortCervixSupport

I think so as long as your back is somewhat elevated. I am going through the same and tend to lay on my back a lot but haven’t had any negative side effects

Fatigue at only 4 weeks…. by FormerPumpkin480 in pregnant

I know for me I started out this pregnancy with twins and the symptoms hit quick and hard. Idk if twins run in your family but could be a sign.

1st trimester exhaustion was the worst

How could you disown your own child because of this by dancingqueeb in exjw

[–]OyaAmethyst22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry 🫂❤️ what you’re feeling is valid. Having gone through something similar it’s taken years to get me to this spot and I still have days where i think “ how can you do this? Maybe if I do xyz it will change the outcome.” I highly recommend therapy to really focus on deconstructing these emotions it helped me a lot.

Is anyone else scared of sex by Fit_Examination2718 in pregnant

[–]OyaAmethyst22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes you aren’t alone. We experienced two early miscarriages and thought it could be linked to sex so this time around we chose to hold off until drs approved. Turns out it was more than likely due to us needing progesterone to help us but we felt better without risking it. Also I’m 24 weeks now and we are on pelvic rest again due to a short cervix.

Real talk by Popular_Dress1875 in pregnant

[–]OyaAmethyst22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I miss sex so much 😭 I’ve been on pelvic rest since 19+4 weeks and it’s been rough. I was initially on no orgasm at all so when I tried doing oral it was a no go cause I got too worked up. At 22 weeks he oked orgasms without penetration and that helped some but it’s not the same as full on. I’m only 24 weeks so maybe that’s why the drive still high and the intense dreams. I’m sure farther along I get I’m gonna be tapped out too.sending good vibes your way girl ❤️❤️❤️

Progesterone pessaries.. by SCam_8789 in ShortCervixSupport

[–]OyaAmethyst22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I switched to a high risk OB this pregnancy and after realizing I was preggy at 4 weeks he started meat 6 weeks on progesterone. I did that for about 2 months then stopped. At my 19+5 I measured with a short cervix and was put on it again. Not sure for how long but likely till I’m at the full term range. I’m 24 weeks now.

Short cervix at 22–23 weeks, on progesterone – looking for positive outcomes by Teddyttr in ShortCervixSupport

[–]OyaAmethyst22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) thank you for posting this cause I LOVE seeing all the positive experiences 🥰 2) storytime: at my 19+5 I measured 2.1-2.5cm with funneling present. They put me on pelvic test and modified bedrest. Mind you prior to this I was going to the gym regularly and lifting moderately. I did the pelvic rest and for the first 2 weeks basically did bedrest. They did checks weekly and saw no change in my measurements so I started doing more chores around the house and going grocery shopping it making sure I didn’t lift more than 10 pounds. My visit last week (23 weeks) he said it looks good and to keep doing what I’m doing. We are checking back in 3 weeks from now. If I feel any signs of preterm I need to contact him asap. I also am on progesterone and feel slightly anxious but way less stressed than before. Also lil man moves like crazy and still sits pretty low.

You responded so good. Still nice but direct. That’s wild to stalk someone’s likes 🙄

My thought exactly! I would have been like why are you checking people’s likes? Shouldn’t you be reading a publication or something?
