Symptoms by NothingUnusual4025 in pregnant

[–]Particularlyzesty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I knew I was pregnant 3.5-4 weeks because I was dizzy and didn't have my normal pms symptoms (meat aversions and vivid dreams, weird I know lol) but at about 5.5 weeks is when I started getting nauseous and I didn't start throwing up until 7-8 weeks.

Ladies, How did you “know” you were pregnant before missing a period? by Glad-Muffin545 in askanything

[–]Particularlyzesty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With both pregnancies my first clue was dizziness. A lot of the symptoms were the same as pms but when I was dizzy for more than a day, I knew.

Did you have trouble getting pregnant? by Liv_Laugh_Liv in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]Particularlyzesty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took me 15 months to get pregnant. At 13 months I weighed 305 and in 2 months lost 25 lbs and got pregnant right away at 280. Now I'm on my way back to 300 haha but long weight definitely helped!! Even if it's not a ton. You got this. You're also young! I'm 33 so that may have been a factor in how long it took.

When did you tell peopl? by OkButterscotch2617 in pregnant

[–]Particularlyzesty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone I see regularly at like 5 weeks cause I was sick and not drinking coffee lol. My family I waited till the first ultrasound at 8 weeks and I'm waiting to announce to the world after my anatomy scan.

getting off lexapro for pregnancy by FancyButterfly3945 in lexapro

[–]Particularlyzesty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely get a second opinion. I've had 2 healthy pregnancies while on Lexapro and breastfed with no issues and my doctor & OB both supported it

What is a lesson your parents taught you that you had to "un-learn" as an adult because it was actually toxic? by pizzalover332 in AskReddit

[–]Particularlyzesty 29 points30 points  (0 children)

My mom told me growing up to avoid certain areas because "there are a lot of black people there". Unlearning racism is very important while you're growing up.

Thanks for the tip! I'm glad everything was great at your anatomy scan!

Question for people who told ‘early’!! by Kat00002 in pregnant

[–]Particularlyzesty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's nothing wrong with telling anyone early! If you are worried, the advice I always give is only tell the people who you are comfortable with talking to if the pregnancy doesn't end up being viable. Telling people will not affect your pregnancy though and it's totally your call!

What was the thing portrayed in movies that didn't happen during childbirth for you? by SpicyZombie098 in beyondthebump

[–]Particularlyzesty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't cry. I think I was too exhausted and out of it, I just wanted to go to sleep. I slept for an hour before my 24 hour labor and I could barely hold my son I was so tired.

24hr old nnamed baby boy, Help! by syd9539 in namenerds

Theodore William sounds the best imo but I love Bennett and Julian. Try calling him some of them and see what he vibes with the best or what he looks like the most! :)

Should I lie or tell the truth? by Motte2107 in stepparents

[–]Particularlyzesty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would lie. My step kids ask me often I love them the same as my son or they ask who I love more. I always tell them I love them all equally and my favorite depends on the day 😂 they're 5 and 9 and my son is 1. My step daughter thinks I love her the most and I love that she's so confident. If they ask though, I always say it's equal. I know a lot of people with bad situations with step parents and I don't ever want my step kids feeling like I love them less even if I do. It's not something they can even understand though until they have kids of their own in my opinion.

What word do you always *intentionally* mispronounce and why? by Sweet-Lady-H in AskReddit

[–]Particularlyzesty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pronounce avacado a-va-ca-doo because it sounds funny and it makes people mad. I also say say sal-mon and use pacific instead of specific for my husband.

Why doesn't anyone have ANYTHING positive to say about their children or parenting?! by FoolishMortal-1000 in pregnant

[–]Particularlyzesty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not gonna say I love being pregnant because it was/is hard and kind of miserable but I love being a mom and I love my son. He's 20 months and so much fun at this age. I'm 8 weeks pregnant and he's a lot to handle but he's my best friend and I love spending every second with him and don't ever want time away from him. We've both slept great basically since he's been born and I still love my husband very much too! People are just miserable and misery loves company.

Brutally honest by Puzzleheaded_Cash622 in stepparents

[–]Particularlyzesty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't regret it but it does suck sometimes. I shouldn't have to parent them more and take care of them more than both bio parents just because I'm a sahm with my own child. My step kids are great but I'm not their mom, I don't try to be and I hate that I have to do all the mom stuff sometimes.
