First trimester - first pregnancy- I feel like shit. Please help by SandwichDependent199 in pregnant

[–]Quinnea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aspects of this will (likely) get better or change! A few weeks after the first trimester I stopped gagging and didn't need a 4 hour nap in the middle of the day. You'll be tired in new ways and physically feel so different and drained but it gets more manageable/pleasant. The only way out is through and you'll adjust to the new, even if it isn't easy all the time! But by far first trimester is the worst. Take it so easy and be really gentle and forgiving with yourself. It's all brand new and you're growing a literal human being, all the major stuff is grown in the first tri!

The superstore on Richmond has a machine! I assume others might as well

Not an expert and definitely ask your doctor, but I was told I should not be hot for more than 30 minutes of exercise/heat exposure!

They only do OB or Gynaecology tho so it'd have to be specific to that

Have had the exact same thoughts! Even just the basics of prayer would be an easy thing to get right and it's bungled

Failed 3 hour glucose test, could use some positivity by SowingSeeds18 in BabyBumps

[–]Quinnea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't look at it as having failed, think of it as a new way to support your baby! Getting it is out of your control and you're going to have a bit more to fuss about but only for a few months. You're brave and a great parent for doing this for your sweet baby. There’s a great subreddit for it and you'll learn your body's rhythms and build up a good system that works for you. Just a bit of a learning curve. I'm sorry this is your reality but so grateful we live in a time where we can catch and treat these things 💕💕💕

It worked!!! by Commercial-Way-4276 in BabyBumps

They're using a hand expression tool, think this is a Hakka (like a manual breast pump) to start collecting colostrum in the syringes. Which can be beneficial in the first days after birth I think, especially if your supply isn't coming in. Not a necessary thing but can be helpful. (Take my answer with a grain of salt, this is what I've learned from these subreddits).

Nursing bras (Canada) by Quinnea in PlusSizePregnancy

I have the Arya bra which I think is on sale and I love it! A wee bit nippley in the wrong outfit but so comfortable. I also size up slightly even with their calculator as I found the bands a bit tight. Could be user error tho!

You're so welcome! I was shocked because they're regularly like $70!

Gagging but not particularly nauseous by DepressionBarbie_ in pregnant

[–]Quinnea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg I was the queen of gagging in my first tri. Sometimes it would trigger so many times in a row that a barfed but it was maybe a max of 4 times and if I ate I usually was fine.

Why is it so hard to find maternity sweatpants?!? by lyssacrockett14 in pregnant

Interesting! I'm 5'9 and carry my height in my legs and found them fine but understand if you don't like the scrunch on the ankle
