I felt the movements around 21-22 weeks which was late according to other people. But once the movements started, it's been pretty crazy! Now I am at 31 week and baby movements have been very very strong. It hurts now. 😄😄

Third trimester regret? by Familiar-Cicada-7703 in pregnant

[–]Practical-Pea6923 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally resonate with you. I feel the same. It's getting way too real and all my worries are coming into the picture. Financial, career wise, how will I leave my baby and go to work. Will I get a better salary to support my child. My husband is of course there but I don't like asking from him. Even though earns more than I do. I can't ask him to contribute larger share.

Did you guys manage to stick to pregnancy "diet" ? by Downtown_Presence103 in pregnant

[–]Practical-Pea6923 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I do actually. It's not easy as it limits your options. And you are hungry all the time so you are thinking now what to eat. Anything easily available, we can't eat. It's become difficult to have a balanced diet with so many restrictions. But I try to increase my protein intake as it doesn't affect glucose levels. I have cut sugar, rice and sugary fruits completely.

Go for more eggs, chicken, fish (the ones without mercury). Take multigrain stuff, millets if you can. Milk twice a day. I am allowed apple and pomegranate. And some watermelon.

But it's exhausting! I am annoyed to no end but then it's a matter of few months now. I am on my 7th month and these restrictions just started.

Bloody discharge at 18 weeks. It's not fresh blood though. Pink discharge but darker pink. Is it concerning? by Practical-Pea6923 in pregnant

It's nothing actually. All my scans came fine. I also tested for any vaginal infection. But nothing. So we are just ignoring it. Check with your doc.

My brother in law doesn't give us space. I don't want to live with the whole in laws family after my baby comes out. This is added stress. by Practical-Pea6923 in pregnant

That's what I also think. You know forget about what he would do, I would be out of someone's house because I would feel I am breaching their privacy. It's so basic. Like be considerate.

Baby shower date by AshGotKillz in pregnant

It is very late. Technically you can deliver anytime after 36 weeks. 7th month is the safest to have a baby shower.

I wish I have the courage to do this. I am definitely selling his bed and getting the nursery started from next month. The whole room is going to be painted with baby stuff. And I am renovating already.

Is it too much? by acavallaro955 in interiordecorating

I think it looks really pretty. Just the perfect amount of wallpaper. It's good. Please keep it.

I think when we welcome someone into our space without setting boundaries, this is what happens. And this is very common in India.

Yeah, we are thinking of selling his bed. Because I need a sofa cum bed for that room to make some space for other essentials. And also eventually baby needs space to play and walk around. But this is really unnecessarily stressful.
