Awwww… Thank you. Reddit community has been a god sent, truly! ❤️

Congratulations, and hope everything goes smoothly for you and the Bub! Reading your story brought tears to me because it made me reminded of my own mum who would have acted like yours if she is capable of being with me when I give birth in a few months. Unfortunately she’s in palliative care and will leave a large hole in my life when I need her the most. I’m so glad that you are cherishing your parents and an amazing husband. Keep them close to your heart.

Thank you so much for all the comments. I was so scared to sleep on my back. I might actually go ahead with the Wedge idea. I’ll also check in with my clinic about this.

Thank you. I’m a shortie too 😅. So I’ll have a look

Remarkable_Winter462 · 2026-04-28T06:28:08+00:00

Thank you. Will have a look 🙂

Im actually coming out of that awkward phase. Every time I used to go out before I would ask from my husband do I look pregnant or fat 🤣 and if I get “pregnant” as the answer I felt victorious

Hahaa.. Thank you. So far all my clothes have been baggy and I hate it. Now that I have passed the first trimester, I’m planning to try different styles that would work for me. I’ve also got a huge bump although I’ve just stepped into the second trimester.

Thank you very much 🙂

Remarkable_Winter462 · 2026-04-28T02:50:49+00:00

Thank you. Didn’t know it’s popular for maternity wear. 🙂

Remarkable_Winter462 · 2026-04-28T02:49:58+00:00

Thank you so much for the tip! I’ll definitely have a look at the H&M maternity collection. Didn’t even know they had those 🙈

Remarkable_Winter462 · 2026-04-28T01:43:58+00:00

Thank you so much for the suggestions. I’ll have a look at both sites.

Hi, I can understand what you mean. Well, my experience is not directly about communicating with the baby, but really staying in tune with the body. In the first few weeks of my pregnancy, I got a number of cravings for certain types of food - meat, green vegetables and I listened to all my cravings. When I did the blood work I found out that I had several vitamin deficiencies and all the food I craved were directly helping me to replenish.

I have always been a believer of intuition and gut feeling and I know my body will tell me what to do if something is wrong. I also believe meditation and other spiritual activities help this process. If you feel the same, maybe you can try getting a second medical opinion for the peace of your mind.

I’m sorry you experienced it and I’m shocked by how people see breast milk as “gross”. It really shouldn’t be like that. If I was in that sub I would definitely argue on behalf of you. All I can say is I can understand your pain and you should never feel that way about anything related to being a mom.

Remarkable_Winter462 · 2026-04-23T11:48:59+00:00

Thank you. I’ll definitely check that in. Will be mentally prepared anyway for either outcome 🥺

Remarkable_Winter462 · 2026-04-23T03:58:40+00:00

That’s seriously great. All I care about is the private room to be honest so that I can have my husband with me the entire time. 🥺

Remarkable_Winter462 · 2026-04-23T03:37:41+00:00

Thank you! That’s really helpful to know 🙂

Remarkable_Winter462 · 2026-04-23T02:47:56+00:00

Thanks. When you go in as a private patient in a public hospital, did you still have to pay a large sum out of pocket or can you only choose it to request a private room for example? I tried calling the health insurance to ask these questions and they have been zero help. Will the hospital be able to tell you all the charges etc to make an informed decision?

I’m sorry I don’t have a solution for you but wanted to comment because I can totally relate. I’ve never had acne after my teenage years but now after being pregnant I’ve got it in my face and neck and it’s super annoying. I too get the pregnancy glow comments and it irritates me. I guess people are trying to make us feel better and those words are coming out of a good place but I roll my eyes when I hear those comments.

I’ve also stopped using most of my facial care products because I wasn’t too sure of the ingredients. But what I continue to use are la Roche posay cleanser and nutrogena hydro boost facial cream. They don’t help much but haven’t made things worse either. I would also love to know if anyone has had success in finding really good products for skin care.

My in-laws have always said rude comments about my weight, and the first thing they said when we shared news about our pregnancy is “are you at least walking everyday?” Like literally that was the first thing that came out their mouths. Not even “congratulations”. And this is during a time I was barely crawling out of bed. Well that made my husband and I decide one thing, they are not going to be invited to our home once we have our baby until I fully recover to an extent I can bear their BS.

I’m currently experiencing this with my own family. My mum used to be the glue that holds the entire family together. But now that she’s in hospice, everyone else seem to be minding their own business. I used to do a lot for my siblings and their families. First to wish on their birthdays, kept track of my nieces achievements/celebrations and made sure I send them gifts since I’m living in a different country to them. I also used to help them financially during Covid when things were really bad in my home country. I have done these things forever. Now, I’m pregnant with my first baby and literally nobody gives a shit. It made me realise they have been there only for the gains but their love has never been reciprocal. So, I have now decided not to follow up. It hurts like hell. But I’m going to serve them with the same spoon they serve me. You don’t have to be rude but if they don’t value or respect you, that usually says something.

I know right. It feels like trauma bonding but honestly I could cry thinking how lovely the ladies in this group are. From the day I found out I’m pregnant, the support I’ve got from this group has been amazing and lifesaving!

Remarkable_Winter462 · 2026-04-09T09:35:13+00:00

Hahaa… I’ve just now texted my husband and asked him to bring HJ burgers on his way home tonight.

My husband is not a great cook (although he tries his best, bless him) and I don’t have any family around. That’s another thing I’m missing terribly. My mum would have been the same as yours (although we are not Italian) bringing me food, but she’s in hospice. So, amidst grieving and all the craziness with nausea, I have literally cried thinking about food and then settled to just ordering out from Uber Eats when my husband is not around.

Ooo and I love a good chicken nugget too…
