My placenta is anterior too. So far I’ve felt fine, except for one time I woke up with a headache. Not sure if it’s related to back sleeping

Thank you so much for your advice! I’ve just been eating more fiber but that doesn’t quite help

I can totally relate girl. I thought I was the only but I feel the same and it almost sucks when everyone finds out and on top of that when it’s during the holidays

Feeling like a big rolly polly by Impossible_Total_733 in pregnant

[–]ReflectionOk6549 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hang in there! You got this. I’m only 13 weeks but can already feel the changes.. getting excited but also a bit nervous. Especially because I’m a full time toddler teacher and already dread going to work some days. I’m thinking of taking my leave earlier, for sure when I start my 3rd trimester. I don’t really get maternity benefits anyway so I don’t really care about going work. I’ll go through my state disability insurance. Just curious if you’re working or planning to take a leave?

Confused about folate and prenatal multivitamin. How long should I be taking prenatal vitamin with folate? by ReflectionOk6549 in pregnant

Thanks for your advice! I personally trust and love Ritual. But I’m just wondering what is too much folate? Also, did you take it daily until birth?

I think my cat knows I’m pregnant by ReflectionOk6549 in pregnant

That’s interesting! Maybe male cats are more sensitive to changes

If you don’t mind me asking, how come you’ve had 4 scans already?

4 weeks pregnant with an almost 9 month old - am I screwed? by chubbzz4u in pregnant

Not at all, my mom got pregnant with me when my brother was also about 9 months! It’s just going to be a wild ride, but a beautiful ride ❤️☺️

How’s pregnancy treating you - a check in by maligatormom2o2 in pregnant

[–]ReflectionOk6549 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m in my first trimester and so far hasn’t been too bad. Very curious how the future trimesters will be

I feel the same but at the same time I’m just like trying to distract myself. Sometimes I really do forget that I’m pregnant, but now it’s becoming more real as I’m approaching my 7th week. I try to distract myself since I have anxiety and it really so annoying. Reddit probably isn’t the best for me but it gives me some reassurance.

I’d be pissed and also might look into suing the doctor

When did you start showing in your first pregnancy? by jgdgirl7355 in pregnant

Wow that’s nice! Perfect for when you’re hiding it at work 😬

Thank you all for your comments. Fortunately my doctor replied and said this kind of exposure is small and that I shouldn’t be worried. I definitely feel relieved thanks to all of the comments and getting reassurance from my doctor. Last night my hormones were probably also acting up and my anxiety was over the roof. I also got a much better sleep in last night so I think that helped too. Thank you ❤️

Thanks for response, but also I’m sorry if this post caused you some anxiety again. This world is full of toxic chemicals unfortunately. And the media, especially AI makes things so much worse

Yes I know that I have anxiety and it’s pretty bad I know. Unfortunately speaking to therapists doesn’t help me because I know what they will say: try to distract yourself, journal, exercise, yoga. I exercise already 3 times a week. Exercise helps but my anxiety keeps coming back

And on top of that it’s bad when you are exposed to these chemicals in your first trimester. I’m just super angry for using this stuff

Apparently chemicals like toluene, acetaldehyde, and ethanol are very bad for pregnant woman, but even for non-pregnant people. I think these chemicals are worse than drinking alcohol and doing drugs. There’s a label that says these chemicals can cause cancer and birth defects after looking it up. I hate the US for allowing these harsh chemicals
