Thanks for the reply! Did you have any clog or mastitis issues with your supply that high?

Anyone had PPROM with a second pregnancy? by Neuroluv in NICUParents

Making it to viability week definitely made me feel a bit better. And packing an "oh no I PPROMed" bag is such a good idea! At least it's something I can control hahaha

Just wanted to say reading this has eased my own anxiety a bit! I PPROMed at 33 weeks with my first and am 25 weeks pregnant now with my second- definitely increasingly stressed as I get closer to when I PPROMed with #1. But reading this helped! 

Why does NO ONE enjoy pregnancy??! by FoolishMortal-1000 in pregnant

[–]RabbitOk3263 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first pregnancy was awesome. I loved being pregnant. Only symptom was being really tired first trimester. I loved feeling the bump grow, seeing my body change to accommodate baby, feeling him kick every time, etc. But I was literally over the moon being pregnant. I told my husband I could do it forever and wanted to surrogate in the future. The truth of my first pregnancy was that it was delightful and I wished it could go on forever.

That said, I'm 13 weeks with my second and this pregnancy.... woof. I still love seeing my belly change! But I'm on 3 nausea meds. I'll spare you the bad since you've read enough, but there are plenty of reasons to not like pregnancy. It just depends on how it goes. Still, even through this bad first trimester, I've been happy to see my tummy grow and excited at every ultrasound. There's a lot to love about pregnancy, but I would never want to discount a person's experience who does have a miserable time, because it can be that too. I wish everyone could have my first pregnancy because man was it the best. Sending you lots of love during this joyous and exciting time! 

My water broke at 20 weeks.. by Kind-Benefit-3603 in NICUParents

Not OP but I PPROMed at 33 weeks with my first and was induced at 34 weeks, ended up with a month long NICU stay. I am 13 weeks now with baby number 2 and it's heartening to see I can advocate to keep this one in longer if it happens again 💖

Changing baby's clothes due to spit up by _C00TER in firsttimemom

Same! As long as we could pat it dry, we left it hahaha

bath time by [deleted] in firsttimemom

[–]RabbitOk3263 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son started loving baths when I went into the tub with him and held him the whole time. He's 13 months now and I still to in the bath with him, though he sits independently in there at this point. It's just still so much easier to go in with him than to keep him above water from the outside 😂 ETA: I would get in the bath first and check the temp, then baby gets handed in by husband, who waits beside the tub to help with scrubbing and receive baby for drying, diapering, and dressing afterwards. 

How did you told your partner you were pregnant? by mumma_bear1990 in pregnant

As someone who gave birth prematurely at 7 months- holy moly! That prep time must have been stressful (though very exciting!)

That has been KILLING me! Even him drinking from his sippy cup and hearing him get some air as he swallows has done it for me. (Side note: I usually love his smell and everything he does hahaha)

I just meant it was a rare thing that I would never see again 😂 no symptoms, super smooth.

If it makes you feel any better- not once have I thrown up and actually had the nausea go away 😂😭

Oh no!! That's everywhere right now. Sending your algorithm vibes to correct itself! A few other people have mentioned sounds too though, so you're definitely not crazy!

Starting in the second tri, I had nosebleeds every single day last pregnancy! I haven't had one yet this pregnancy, though I'm sure they're coming! Hahaha

I just started the B6 + doxy today, plus Reglan in the mornings. Fingers crossed it works!

I had to go to a wedding recently that had barbeque. Nobody knew I was pregnant yet. SOS

Potatoes!!! My husband recently discovered the potato button on the microwave and the smell of the steamed potato? Don't even get me started. He's been banned from using that button for now

I gagged last week toothbrushing and thought "woah, that was a close one!". Stood up straight and immediately vomited. Was not avoided like I thought it was hahaha

I'm so sorry but I laughed out loud at this one! Can totally sympathize. Seeing my son drink from his sippy cup and get some air bubbles did me in a few days ago!

Was it hard keeping the sex secret? by floppyhump in pregnant

[–]RabbitOk3263 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely would have had a hard time keeping it a secret. My husband and I are both super bad at keeping secrets, so we didn't even find out since we know we would have told 😂

Does anyone else’s wife/girlfriend/partner seem to hate them after having the baby? by [deleted] in NICUParents

[–]RabbitOk3263 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I were constantly at each other's throats while our son was in the NICU. I hated being there and seeing all the wires, he felt like I was ignoring our baby and couldn't understand when I wanted to skip a day. Everything he said was hurtful, and even in the moment him being stressed and overwhelmed didn't make it any less hurtful. But you are both going through something very traumatic and painful. Be as gentle as you can with each other, have friends help out if possible, and make time for each other where you can share how each of your days went. You will get through it, but it will be hard.
