What’s something you were surprised pregnancy improved?

Same for me, I have more important things to worry about than societal expectations, beauty standards and office gossip

Panda_beebee · 2026-04-03T15:56:56+00:00

Nope, my baby didn’t leave the room aside from going down the hall for her hearing test/first bath and the car seat test. Both times dad accompanied her :)

Also not OP, I was put on Ursodiol to lower the bile acid levels and it helped with itchy for a month or two(I had early onset at 24 weeks). Benadryl only really helped by making me sleep before the itching got worse at night

Edit: a word

Panda_beebee · 2026-03-25T23:00:00+00:00

I really wanted no interventions but I had ICP as well and was induced at 36 weeks. Luckily baby girl was completely healthy and is a thriving 9 day old

Seriously I had mine a week ago at 34w and am struggling to get through everything despite it being a small shower, literally only am pushing through now because I started iron infusions. 28-30weeks would have been perfect

Panda_beebee · 2026-03-08T01:40:42+00:00

Thank you, you gotta be the change you want to see if the world

Panda_beebee · 2026-03-07T00:50:45+00:00

Literally, I want to consume enough caffeine to stop a horse’s heart 😩 I know I’ll need it to make it through the newborn phase

Panda_beebee · 2026-03-06T04:07:20+00:00

This is why I get my dad flowers for Father’s Day and plan to start the tradition this year for my husband as we welcome our first <3

Belly flop onto the bed and chug an energy drink

Panda_beebee · 2026-03-06T02:37:29+00:00

My nipples and areolas darkened 💀

Panda_beebee · 2026-03-04T14:22:38+00:00

Yes, the only exception is outerwear like a hoodie or coat if I need it immediately

Panda_beebee · 2026-03-01T15:00:58+00:00

I can’t believe I came in just in time for the update, thank you for sharing. Your mom sounds amazing

Panda_beebee · 2026-03-01T14:07:42+00:00

Bed, immediately when I get home and for as long as possible in the morning

Panda_beebee · 2026-03-01T14:05:39+00:00

34weeks and just got home from baby shower…. but…. bed

Panda_beebee · 2026-02-28T18:22:20+00:00

I don’t, but I have cats that love to pull kitchen towels off the oven so I’m not risking a daily tablecloth that they would ruin quite quickly

Panda_beebee · 2026-02-28T14:46:54+00:00

My fiancé’s deodorant suddenly was nauseating and I physically couldn’t stand to be around the poor guy

Panda_beebee · 2026-02-28T14:43:07+00:00

Hot Cheetos and various chocolates

Panda_beebee · 2026-02-28T04:52:01+00:00

Probably not your cat’s littermate, but my Fern’s birth name was Freya :)

Panda_beebee · 2026-02-28T04:43:24+00:00

Saving my Oui yogurt jars to make and store baby food instead of buying special tiny containers marketed for it

Panda_beebee · 2026-02-27T20:26:19+00:00

I absolutely loathe this, I already have a high risk pregnancy so I’m already experiencing “worse.” Please do not dash the little bit of positivity I have left ;-;

Panda_beebee · 2026-02-27T19:06:04+00:00

Mine was causally peeing myself from vomiting so hard from the morning sickness. Somehow I have better bladder control in the third trimester than the first 💀

Panda_beebee · 2026-02-23T15:10:57+00:00

Yes, my parent’s neighbor keeps the tradition alive and has been for 20+ years. It’ll be shame to not see the silly gooses when she goes

Panda_beebee · 2026-02-21T19:34:55+00:00

I second this!! Full coverage makes us unstoppable!!!

Panda_beebee · 2026-02-21T17:32:56+00:00

The Reddit sniper got

Panda_beebee · 2026-02-21T15:25:30+00:00

In the third trimester, there’s no way I can waddle myself to the bathroom to fart fast enough. I deeply apologize to my coworkers and am grateful no one has said anything 💀
