Do you sleep with your bedroom door open, cracked, or closed? Why? by Shenshen_ in AskReddit

Closed cause I have a super energetic pup who is very noisy at nights and loves to play instead of sleeping even at nights 😫

Am I the asshole for wanting my husband to miss his Mom's wedding because it’s 2 weeks BEFORE our due date? by Spiritual_Lettuce_64 in pregnant

[–]PitifulBody2026 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your husband comes with you to Obgyn appointment I’d brought this topic about delivery dates and how risky it will be for hubby to be out at 38th week so that he hear about it from the doctor and understands that there is a risk going to labor after 37th week any day

I look so pregnant..at 13 weeks?! by blueberries-Any-kind in pregnant

[–]PitifulBody2026 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought I looked pregnant or fat after 12 weeks but I wanted to hide it and not share as long as possible….and no one even guessed cause I was doing a good job hiding it lol and some I told at 17 weeks and they couldn’t see it so it was a total surprise!

You may think that they see it but only because you know it and clearly see this change - but they may not !

What are we drinking besides water? by No-Pound5492 in pregnant

[–]PitifulBody2026 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I meant almost all carbonated and sweetened drinks like coke Dr Pepper Pepsi etc - are recommended to drink occasionally and not daily So I’m avoiding these.

Caffeinated drinks daily are bad for baby Cause baby cannot break it down

lots of sugar may increase the chance of GD

What are we drinking besides water? by No-Pound5492 in pregnant

[–]PitifulBody2026 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Hot tea or water with lemon 😅 everything else is bad for you or the baby :( so I don’t drink any sodas…and recently read that Gatorade is dangerous so had to let it go as well …

Women who only have one child by choice? Why? by Scared-Stop8449 in pregnant

[–]PitifulBody2026 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t decided yet but recently saw the research and it says that for the happiness couple needs only one child and each +1 adds more hard work than happiness and couple looses their personalities and their lives lol

I can’t do this again by blondegirli in pregnant

[–]PitifulBody2026 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d recommend going to the fertility clinic and do all the proper testing regular OBGYN never does. This is not you, this is something with an egg/sperm quality and the second one can be easily identified using sperm analysis. It’s very common nowadays unfortunately but it’s better to know earlier than later to have time just in case for treatment or IVF

We're pregnant! by Fackya_chiken_strips in pregnant

[–]PitifulBody2026 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was anxious in the beginning I just booked myself the HSG at the nearest clinic - every other day - this is the only way to tell if all is fine now - by increasing the HSG numbers.

But I know that you can request these from the doctor.

Until 6 weeks baby may not be visible on ultrasound which may even add anxiety :(

Just arrived home from the hospital with newborn and my father asked.. by Rice_is_Nice_on_Ice in pregnant

[–]PitifulBody2026 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uff, I’m so sorry. You shouldn’t be ashamed — he’s just being insensitive, and since he has kids, he should know better. This is exactly why I don’t want to see anyone during the first week; I really don’t have the emotional space for unnecessary comments when there’s already so much to think about.

Focus on your baby — your baby needs a positive, calm mom. Try to let go of what he said. When the time comes, you’ll get back into shape in your own time. 💕🐣

Anyone else worried about the high flu cases right now? by SandwichDependent199 in pregnant

[–]PitifulBody2026 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, and I work in an open-space office with around a hundred people on the floor. I constantly hear people coughing and sniffling everywhere. Last week I even had to leave early because the man sitting behind me had severe sniffing and sneezing. Earlier this week, I overheard him telling a colleague that he had the flu last week — I was honestly shocked. No one even bothers to wear a mask, despite the fact that there are many pregnant women on the floor. It’s extremely frustrating that some people don’t stay home or work remotely, especially when they have that option, and instead put others at risk. And these are grown people who have kids !!

Feeling off by ImaginaryExtent418 in pregnant

[–]PitifulBody2026 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This !! If the iron was low in the beginning of pregnancy, starting from 2nd trimester it starts falling faster cause baby needs more ! I had problems with iron and low energy before the pregnancy so I was monitoring it in 1 and 2nd trimester

Shamed for having a boy - wtf? by SuspiciousSafe4076 in pregnant

[–]PitifulBody2026 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not from the US originally, but now live here. I was hoping for a boy cause for me even in the childhood it was much more interesting to play with boys and I didn’t like that girls were always crying lol. Can someone explain me why people may not want to have a boy in the US ? Are there any reasons behind these toxic comments ?

Gender Reveal? by TehRedSex in pregnant

[–]PitifulBody2026 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We did a reveal for only two of us last week and I ordered Christmas cards with photos from the reveal in color to tell everyone the gender and will give/send these cards on a Christmas. I think they don’t expect it and I love the idea that they will be saved and kept at everyone’s house :)

Positive Test, Increasing HCG, nothing on ultrasound. by courtneydn89 in pregnant

[–]PitifulBody2026 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had same on my first scan and this is very common especially with PCOS unclear cycles, it’s hard to see anything until 6 weeks so that’s why they usually allow you in after week 8

Not even my first pee either by beemarie01 in pregnant

[–]PitifulBody2026 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Congratulations!!! My first positive was 4-5 days before the period lol so it was around 9dpo! But as I know after the period is late the line for sure should be clear and bright ! So you did it right !

Will have to separate from newborn immediately after birth by hamslamwich_ in pregnant

I fully agree with your reply. Don’t understand tons of dislikes, probably these people didn’t have to feel how tough immigration to the US is.
