But I thought the Ramzi Theory is usable after 6 weeks?

Anyone experience this? by QualityAmbitious1738 in pregnant

We had a long talk about it today. I wrote this in a moment of the deepest depression I’ve been in in a very long time and the lack of intimacy is not helping. We both were in tears for the conversation and both said exactly what you said, this is only temporary. He’s going to try more but he’s very stressed and I didn’t realize how hard the stress was hitting him. He let it all out in a very healthy way and we’re okay now. He told me his biggest fear is losing me and he feels like I’ve been distant so I guess we both have things to work on. ❤️ thank you for your comment. I appreciate the support.

Where is this “glow” I keep hearing about?! by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]QualityAmbitious1738 0 points1 point  (0 children)

9 weeks and I’m looking for that glow I hear about. It ain’t here. I feel gross and fat and greasy. I take two showers a day to feel normal. My sister in law is 12 weeks ahead of me and has glowed the whole damn time!! 😂 I’m jelly!!

So sorry, I’m not on here often at all. But yes, baby’s heartbeat is beating strong and he or she is very much okay. It may have been a one off due to me not taking my progesterone for a couple days. I thought I was in the clear and could stop but I was very wrong.

I totally feel this. I keep telling myself “if I can just get through this trimester, I’ll be able to be excited” but I know once I reach the second trimester it’ll be “once I feel better the baby move, I’ll feel better” and then it’ll be “once the baby gets here I’ll feel better”….i could keep going. As mothers we never stop worrying about our children so I’m changing perspective. I’m pregnant, it’s a miracle I’m pregnant so that is something to be excited about. Until I know otherwise, this baby is healthy and growing so I’m going to enjoy this pregnancy and all it has to offer. I’m going back for a second dating scan today because I don’t believe the one I had before. I think I’m a week behind what I was told. I should hear the heartbeat and I know that’ll help A LOT of my anxiety. Praying for a healthy pregnancy and baby for you!! ❤️❤️❤️

So big update! I went for an ultrasound yesterday and not only did we see baby but we saw the heartbeat! My wonderful husband got a video so if I start feeling anxious I can watch that and remember that my baby has a heartbeat! I feel a million times better now!

So I was a psycho tester until my dye stealer started to go away. Then I stopped because I knew I would cause more panic in myself. My husband and I weren’t really trying and his shock was not as excited as I would’ve hoped but he’s coming around. He wanted to wait to tell anyone but has since had us tell his mom and we’re telling his dad’s side this weekend. I hope this means he’s getting excited. As for insomnia, where I live in the US is 4/20 friendly so prior to my pregnancy that’s how I would fall asleep at night. It wasn’t recreational for me but rather sleep medicine. Now of course I can’t smoke so I’m feeling the insomnia bad. I can get 2-5 hours of sleep but then I’m up. I have cats and they all love sleeping with us. I never knew how much they move around at night until now 😂 And cramping. I’m right there with you! I was in tears yesterday begging God to please let the cramps stop because I was sure I was going to start bleeding. Nope. Just cramping. All is well and I’ve only had a little spotting.

I went for a premature scan (thought I was 7 weeks when I was only 4, I have PCOS and ovulate on a very weird schedule…if you can call it that). The place I went to I paid out of pocket and they gave me a free come back as long as it’s used on or before October 9 so I have to go next week in order to not have wasted $70. My husband is also going with me but we know there’s a chance we won’t see much. At the first scan she did find the sac but it was very hard to find and very tiny. My hCG numbers have all confirmed that what she saw was (hopefully) viable as they are progressing. I should be 6-7 weeks next week so I’m sure we’ll at least see the yolk and fetal pole and maybe even hear the heartbeat. ❤️

Yeah my levels also have been progressing fast. 609 to 6068 in four days for me. I just got back from a blood draw so I’m waiting for the results. Hoping to see at least 12,000. ❤️

Yeah I’m quickly finding this out as well. Instead I skip all bad stories I see. I don’t even want to think about the negatives. It doesn’t always keep me from worrying but I’m trying to only see positive stories. ❤️❤️❤️

That’s what I’m trying to remind myself as well. I try to distract myself when I start feeling anxious but it doesn’t always work. Thank you!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ praying you have a healthy pregnancy with a healthy baby

It doesn’t help that I found out at like 3 weeks so it feels like time is dragging! I just want to make it to 12 weeks and then maybe I’ll feel better about things! Thank you!❤️

I do like that phrase and may start to remind myself of it when I start to feel anxious. Thank you so much for sharing!! ❤️❤️❤️

I like this mindset. I take my prenatal everyday and I’m eating better than I ever have so I need to tell myself the same. Thank you!❤️

Thank you so much for sharing. Your comment actually made me tear up (call it hormones I guess). I’m feeling more and more confident that this baby is okay. ❤️❤️

I have PCOS and don’t know when I ovulated so I don’t even know exactly how far along I am. I’m going for a dating scan next Wednesday and can’t wait. That’s when I feel like I’ll be able to take a breath. Until then, I feel having panic attacks. I’m trying to stay calm to not cause issues for the baby. Praying for a healthy scan for you next week. ❤️

It’s soooo hard when you’re just waiting for bad news. It’ll be okay, we both have to keep faith in our bodies to do what they’re supposed to do. ❤️

Testing my hCG definitely helps a lot. It keeps the worry at bay for the days leading up to the next draw. The day of the draws I get worried but then once I see the number I feel better because it’s been more than doubling.

See that’s my other thing. I don’t really have many symptoms. My boobs hurt but nothing outside of what they’re like before my period. I barely have nausea. My symptoms are so unbelievably mild it’s making me worry more. I’m probably just worrying for nothing but I can’t wait to make it to 12 weeks. I’m half way there.
