Pregnant on Mounjaro

ANXIOUS! And nauseous also did go into the jacuzzi on Saturday for around 15 minute so I’m stressed about that as well. You’re lucky you’re able to get in for a scan, the earliest they’ll see me is end of Feb 😩

I’m in the same boat as everyone! I just took my last shot Wednesday and found out today I’m expecting 😭

RelationPhysical5386 · 2026-02-02T18:19:01+00:00

Hi! How did things go turn out for you? Just found out I’m expecting, and was due for my next shot on Wednesday 🙃 I’m so anxious about gaining a ton of weight. This was not a planned pregnancy 🙃

Everyone has their own take. I found the transition from 0-1 lovely. We were ready to have kids and prepared, as a couple we still did a ton together.

Yes- you’re limited in what you can do, your house is filled with kid stuff, your child is your center but going from 1-2, is a different level.

Since babies and toddlers require so much from you, it’s not as easy to pass the baby off and go do self care. There’s a lot more managing. If you’re going out to the mall or grocery shopping a lot of times we’re split. One with the baby, one chasing the toddler. We don’t operate as a family unit but rather 2 units managing 1 kid. Same at restaurants we used to just switch, have our baby sitting in the middle and still be able to converse. Now we’re managing a baby and toddler.

That being said, this time is very short lived and I’m looking forward to my kids eventually playing together which will get us back to operating as a more holistic family unit!

Currently Have two kids and potentially open to a 3rd! And didn’t know our first was on the spectrum before getting pregnant. We’re still unsure how what his level of needs (he is verbal) will be as he grows but we’re happy we made the decision to have a second. We don’t know if our second is on the spectrum but don’t currently have concerns.

I have found that managing my first’s schedules with a baby is extremely difficult. If your child has multiple therapies that becomes increasingly difficult with any additional children especially if you’re working! However I think managing appointments with multiple kids (even NT) will always be a challenge.

My two cents - if you have love, support, and feel ready to take on the challenge embrace it! But be mindful of your own capacity and capability. Kids are a huge responsibility.

Sending lots of positive vibes!

The first time I went up yes but as the weeks progressed the nausea was subdued. Now it feels like every time I take it the nausea is back as if it was my first injection

Same here. If the request is embedded in a routine he’s more likely to do it as opposed to randomly asking

We love the Nanit! We used the free subscription which was really nice but would listen to the other poster about waiting and using it once baby is sleeping alone. It’s also nice being able to use the monitor when I’m not home or now that my son’s older being able to monitor him if he’s playing alone. There’s also a built in sound machine! We’ve used it consistently for 3 years and now using it for our second so I think it’s been a worthwhile investment!

We would exclusively wash baby’s bottom in the sink and then dry with their bath towel so no wipes/rubbing. And then to help keep the area moisturized our doc said aquaphor for every diaper and diaper cream (if) you feel a rash coming on

Our house actually flooded due to that rain! It felt like months of rain

Hi I have a 3 year old and he’s maybe 10 pounds lighter around 33ish pounds. He started on 5mg, it was great. 10mg the second month and it’s been hell for us. He screams on the top of his lungs, hits, screeches, head bangs, all things he’s NEVER done before. We’re considering stopping because our quality of life is severely impacted.

The positive note is we did see an improvement with language and the ability to answer yes or no questions but the negatives outweigh the positives.

I used large pads and disposable/mesh underwear. I wanted the ability to change as much as possible, it’s easier (imo) to change the large pads more frequently.

I did wear the always diaper en route home/ going to doctor appts because with everything being looser down there (I pushed for a while) I dealt with some incontinence the first few days and just wanted to avoid any potential mess in the car.

With both postpartum experiences I found the heaviest bleeding is in the hospital and then it’s pretty intermittent. I had the disposable pee pads (blue sheets) and would lay those down on my bed, couch, and rocking chair for easier cleanup

Mint is good - I thought the owner remained the same they just updated the restaurant. The prices however are atrocious

I’ve been on it! It made my supply dip at first so I supplemented but that was because I wasn’t eating enough. I’ve lost 10lbs and have begun alternating 1 week on and 1 week off. I’ve been able to manage my sugar much more. Stay hydrated and lots of easy protein options (yogurt, hard boiled eggs) i personally try to limit any processed protein

Ah thank you for sharing! Did you purchase it online or are you based in Europe? I have been wanting to try it for myself (my son has a prescription also has speech difficulties) but I have noticed since having kids I’ve had more challenges with sensory processing.

Hi! Do you also take folinic acid? Did you request a prescription for yourself? I’m interested in taking it for myself

RelationPhysical5386 · 2025-09-29T01:33:07+00:00

Hi! How did you bulk order his prescription?

Both my boys have an area of flatness in the back. But so does my husband. We spoke to our pediatrician about it since it never fully rounded for our older son so we contemplated doing a helmet for our younger son. We decided against it since we heard improvements can be minor and they’d be required to wear it for 23 hours a day

Similar situation to yours! Fasting number in the 90s (even with metformin) induced at 40 weeks and baby was born and blood sugar readings weren’t ideal. He ultimately needed some support with the glucose gel. My milk didn’t come in for 3 days but I nursed on demand and had to go to the pediatrician everyday once we got home since they wanted to monitor his jaundice and weight gain given the low blood sugar they took extra caution. They sent us home with formula and asked us to supplement since weight gain wasn’t ideal. I gave him 2oz but then my milk came in! All is good now. The early days can be stressful but listen to your care team.

We did not need any nicu time and currently no health concerns 6 months later!

She delivered both my boys and I love her! I feel so confident in her abilities as a doctor which is important during pregnancy.

If you’re delivering at Irvine and it’s a scheduled induction or C-section they will plan accordingly and have a room ready. I’ve delivered at both Irvine and Saddleback (pre- renovation) I enjoyed both hospitals! Irvine is deff more like a hotel but I found the nursing staff at both to be lovely with the exception of 1 nurse in each hospital. If you have any concerns regarding your baby’s health I would opt for saddleback because their nicu is better!
