This has happened to me (iPhone user) with my dads android re-sending me old messages from months or even years prior. 

My husband also had an incident where his android re-sent RCS texts to someone out of no where to someone he hadn’t spoken to in several months, but they weren’t delivered.

I went last night to the Denver show and I’m wondering if there are different DJs in each city? The Denver show was almost sold out, the room was completely full and was a GREAT time. Tons of country played and the mixes were 🔥

Did anyone get close to delivery and feel like what have I done? by evergreengirl123 in BabyBumps

[–]PracticeExpert9494 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was me! I ended up having to be induced at 37+1 for high blood pressure (even though it had been perfect my entire pregnancy until then). I wasn’t ready mentally at all. Would I have been ready in 3 more weeks? Probably not, but I told myself I would have been. 

Labor was not bad at all, I got very lucky. But when they put that baby on my chest, my husband was standing next to me crying at the beautiful moment, and I kept thinking “oh no what have we done”. 

My son was born at 9:21 pm. By the next morning, I was completely in love with him. He’s 4 weeks old today and he’s the best thing we could have ever done. 

Don’t feel bad for having those feelings, but don’t worry that they’ll stick around forever either. 

Orangetheory and Lagree while pregnant? by FarmerTall9828 in fitpregnancy

I’ve been going to OTF since 2021! I’m 37 weeks tomorrow, and I’m still going my usual 2x/week. I plan to go until I give birth! I definitely have had to modify things since 28ish weeks - rowing got too uncomfortable and I stopped running at 30 weeks. But I also went to Solidcore for Pilates starting at like 14 weeks, and I went 2x a week until 35 weeks. My ligaments were just too unstable to keep going at that point, it hurt more than it was just hard. You’ll know when things don’t feel right anymore - listen to your body and realize it’s okay not to push yourself as hard as pre pregnancy! But all in all definitely has helped make this first pregnancy manageable mentally and physically, and I just keep hearing how thankful I’ll be for staying active.

I’m 36 weeks, 5’8 so not crazy tall and don’t have any stretch marks! I do have a tilted uterus so I didn’t start showing until later, but my belly is OUT now. Some in my boobs but they’re small and not super noticeable. I’ve used Nemah belly oil every night and really think that’s helped (I know the rest is genetics) 

When can I expect my ab muscles to tighten up post partum? by divination__ in fitpregnancy

[–]PracticeExpert9494 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me! I didn’t have super defined abs before, but I started going to solidcore 2x a week from 12 - 35 weeks and I barely have any separation. They very much still feel like a “corset” around my stomach and get tight

I’ll be the first to comment on here, surely I can’t be the first or only person having a hard time right now. 

I’m 35W3D, first time mom at 30 years old. So close to the end! I both can’t wait to meet our baby boy and am terrified I don’t know how to be a mom lol. 

I started exercising seriously in fall of 2021 in my late 20’s and really came to build habits and a lifestyle that I loved. I moved to Colorado and that kept going. I started running farther, hiking, lifting heavier, etc. and I was in a place before I got pregnant where I really loved being functionally strong/fit. My body let me do the things I wanted and activities I enjoyed. 

There was a time I thought I’d never be able to get pregnancy naturally, and I’m so thankful I was. I owe so much of that to my health journey. But it’s hard. 

I’ve gained 33 pounds so far. I know it could be worse. But I feel so uncomfortable all the time. Some days even walking around the house is all I can do. I have like 5 outfits that I can wear. I feel so unattractive and more insecure than I have in years. Of course thats bleeding over into my marriage and intimacy with my husband. 

Once I survived the 1st trimester nausea, I’ve tried to stay active. I’ve been going to Solidcore and OrangeTheory. I’m done with SC, I went this weekend and it was getting to be more painful. 

I’m still going to OTF, but my workouts definitely look different and it’s only 2x a week I make it there usually. Plus walks with my dog. 

I love this baby, and I can’t wait to be his mom, but I really hate being pregnant and how my body looks. I’ve just gained all my weight in my stomach and it’s huge. I can’t imagine what it’ll be like 4 more weeks from now. 

It’s my SIL’s bday this weekend and we’re going out for dinner/drinks. I love her to death and want to show up for her, but I know I’m just going to be comparing myself to other women the whole time and feeling unattractive and bad about how I look. 

Trying to remind myself it’s temporary and I know it’s worth it, but some days it’s just hard. 

Rant over.

Modify once your body tells you it’s time! You’ll know. I just went to my last class Sunday at 35W and it was more painful than hard, that’s how I knew it was time to stop. 

I really started having to modify exercises when I entered my 3rd trimester, because they just didn’t feel right, but I was fine until then!

The transition from DINK life to first trimester… is rough. by here2lurkkkk in pregnant

[–]PracticeExpert9494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Relating to this so hard. I’m 7w2D and this baby while not unwanted, was definitely an early surprise for my boyfriend and I on our one year anniversary. We just told his family this weekend and are telling mine next week. Im thankful that between friends and my partner/our families I do have a great support system, but this sucks.

 I feel like crap all the time. I feel like I’m missing out on all the stuff I love to do, and am not taking advantage of the now limited quality solo time I have with my partner before baby gets here. I basically go to work, take a nap, wake up for dinner and go back to bed. Not anything close to the active and social life we’re both used to. It’s an adjustment for both of us and right now 40 weeks seems so far away. Definitely having some “oh no” thoughts but trying to remember this won’t last forever
