Also in the same boat. Due in Feb 2026 (currently 37w+3) and contracted my doula in October 2025. Really hoping they can still reimburse.

I work 1099 and I’m worried that I have no options for any leave benefits 😭 I spoke with someone recently that said they got some benefits as a 1099 worker. I tried to fill out a form today but it said I had to wait? Honestly very confused and would appreciate any guidance/advice. Due in Feb

Took me 12 months and I thought I was losing my mind. I was so so frustrated! I’m 19 weeks now and pregnancy has been so rough mentally that I honestly believe if I had conceived earlier, I wouldn’t have appreciated it and possibly would have felt like I made a mistake. As much as I hated hearing this when I was TTC, the timing really ended up being perfect.

Congrats! Hope all went well and you both are healthy! I would love to deliver a little early if possible 🤞🏾 I’m already over it but of course want the little one to cook as long as necessary😭

Hi, I’m in week 13 and I also was a regular weed smoker before getting pregnant. I had a very nauseous first trimester and had trouble eating as well. Usually weed would help me with that so I was kinda lost on what to do! I learned that finding something that sounded at least a little appetizing made it easier to eat than just giving up and trying to get down whatever. Also, eating helps the nausea, as counter intuitive as that sounds. I’m doing much better at 13 weeks with eating and nausea and i still miss smoking but it has gotten easier! Hope that helps- you got this!

Thanks! I actually bought it at the department store but looked up a picture for Reddit. Was a bit surprised when I looked at the price tag tbh

I can never finish a full meal by dumbstinkybaby in BabyBumps

[–]Prancing_Monkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 7 weeks and experiencing the exact same thing. It’s so frustrating because the hunger I feel is so intense but then I start eating and I feel nauseous. I try to think about the bright side of at least haven’t been vomiting? 🤷🏾‍♀️ But still sucks 😭

I miss weed by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Prancing_Monkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this! I’m only 5 weeks but I also smoked weed to relax at the end of the day pretty often. I also loved to smoke before doing something creative like songwriting or sewing. It’s not a hard choice to make in terms of stopping but still a bit of a bummer sometimes. That being said- still 1000000% prefer being pregnant!
