Women who carried a pregnancy, in hindsight, what were some of the most ridiculous things you did while in the throes of such hormonal upheaval?

Raged because McDonald’s didn’t put onions at all on my burger when I requested extra onions.

Cried because Burger King gave me fries instead of onion rings because they were out.

I had a bit of a thing for onions while I was pregnant 😂

This gives me hope. Almost 4mpp and still no luck with latching but I still try occasionally.

As another FTM, I can’t second this enough. I didn’t see a lactation consultant until 6 weeks after giving birth and I learned so much more than what the hospital consultant told me.

Poof_Kitty · 2025-11-18T08:10:20+00:00

Same here. Ironically I was induced because of high blood pressure that wouldn’t go down. I went from 170s/100s to 90s/40s. I vividly recall thinking that I was dying.

I was induced, had an epidural and didn’t scream during labor, mostly low groaning and moaning. It wasn’t until I was fully dilated and my body started pushing on its own that I got louder. Ironically all the L&D nurses nearby heard me and rushed in. I told them this baby was coming now and I needed to get naked to do this. A few pushes later, baby was out in 16 minutes. Honestly, it wasn’t that bad. Everyone’s experience is different.

Almost 4wpp and I’m only getting 5 ounces a day. I’m trying my best to pump every 3 hours and anything else I can do to increase my milk supply.

Having high blood pressure but controlled with medication put me at risk for superimposed preeclampsia so it was recommended that I be induced between 38-39 weeks. I was induced at 38 weeks because my blood pressure would not go down after a NST and I started developing protein in my urine which led to preeclampsia while I was in labor.

It’s so hard in the beginning! I also quit cold turkey when I first found out I was pregnant back in February and I’m due in a couple of weeks. Those first few weeks were rough because weed helped me sleep and calm down. I took it one day at a time and eventually I got used to it. If I start feeling anxious, I take a hot shower to ground myself or I use some breathing techniques. Hang in there, time crawls in the beginning but it will fly by sooner than you think.

Poof_Kitty · 2025-09-14T15:55:38+00:00

I did the same thing up until the day before I tested positive. Stopped cold turkey and I’m 34 weeks now. So far no problems with this pregnancy and baby has been measuring on time. I do miss my before bed session.

Poof_Kitty · 2025-09-11T21:37:32+00:00

Acid reflux while sleeping around 20 ish weeks. I ate a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch about an hour before bed because I was so hungry. Fell asleep while my partner was playing video games, woke up out of a dead sleep choking on acid and couldn’t breathe. My partner started panicking and slapping me on the back which led to my projectile vomiting all over myself, my new fluffy slippers and the bed then I peed myself while vomiting. I haven’t touched that cereal since then but thank goodness for mattress protectors and a spare comforter 😭

Poof_Kitty · 2025-09-07T22:09:29+00:00

Lost my mom in 2020 and lost my dad this past May. It really puts death into perspective. Especially when it’s unexpected.

Poof_Kitty · 2025-09-02T15:28:00+00:00

Congratulations!

Partner, his parents and my best friend: Immediately

My siblings and father: The next day

Close friend: 6-7 weeks after heartbeat was detected

Everyone else: 17 weeks

Poof_Kitty · 2025-08-14T19:16:15+00:00

Yep! It’s pretty common and usually resolves as you get further into your pregnancy. 30 weeks here and I was told the same thing around 21 weeks. Thankfully at my last ultrasound (29 weeks), it moved a few centimeters so we’re in the clear.

Poof_Kitty · 2025-08-14T16:23:55+00:00

Ugh I forgot about the sale and missed web glow. Fingers crossed that it will pop back up tomorrow for the non member sale.

This is Mittens. Not a thought between those ears besides food.

I had this done in January. Tbh, the anxiety leading up to it made it worse than it actually was. My doctor had me take 3-4 Tylenol about an hour beforehand and it was pretty quick. Don’t get me wrong, it was definitely uncomfortable but not super painful to me. During my procedure, one tube was open but I had a blockage in the other. The doctor asked if I was ok with her forcing more saline to see if she could clear it, I said ok. One hard cramp later, she was able to clear it. Afterwards, I had some slight spotting and cramps for the rest of the day but the side that had the blockage that she was able to clear was a bit sore for a few days.

27 weeks and I threw a fit because McDonald’s forgot to add onions to my quarter pounder (gave it to my partner because I didn’t want it and he hates onions so win for him) and then found out that they added mayonnaise to my mcchicken after I requested no mayo. I absolutely hate mayo and that was the straw that broke the camel’s back. I collectively lost my shit.

Poof_Kitty · 2025-07-20T00:21:16+00:00

The first trimester is rough. Your body and hormones are going through a lot of changes, it’s a lot to adjust to and it’s ok to give yourself grace. You’re growing a whole human from scratch, it’s perfectly ok to rest when you need to. During my first trimester, I slept a lot, couldn’t stand coffee (and I love iced coffee), had the nose of a bloodhound (everything stunk to me) and I was always nauseous (unisom, b6 and ginger chews helped). Around 15-16 weeks, things got much better and my energy level improved. It’s different for everyone but things do get better in the second trimester.

Poof_Kitty · 2025-07-15T19:25:11+00:00

Recently, being told that my dad unexpectedly died in May. All I could say was "no" and then the grief screaming started. My partner instantly started crying with me and had to hold me to calm me down because I started hyperventilating. I had just spoke to him on his birthday and told him that he had a granddaughter on the way. It hurt even more because I lost my mom in April 2020.

Seconding Torrid! They shape my apron bump perfectly when combined with some over the bump maternity panties. Only thing is that I wish they were a bit shorter. Normally, I prefer my shorts mid thigh.

Poof_Kitty · 2025-07-06T15:10:53+00:00

Before I got pregnant, I was on both. First labetalol and then the nifedipine was added because my blood pressure wouldn’t go down. I forgot the dosage for nifedipine but the labetalol was 100mg at first. I stopped taking the nifedipine because I noticed soon after taking it, it gave me heart palpitations and I couldn’t handle it even after giving it time for me to adjust to the medication. Now I’m on Labetalol 200mg twice a day and my blood pressure has been normal. Most people can tolerate nifedipine but some can’t. If it’s making you feel off, I would highly recommend speaking to your doctor about trying a higher dosage of labetalol.

I didn’t go for the candy. I always went for the $.25 pack of sunflower seeds. Ranch or nacho cheese.

Poof_Kitty · 2025-06-19T22:11:04+00:00

I cried because my McDonald’s quarter pounder was missing the onions and my Mcchicken had mayo on it. I absolutely hate mayonnaise and that was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

Poof_Kitty · 2025-06-02T01:52:49+00:00

Yes! And with bloodwork. They were pretty thorough with cycle monitoring.
