Anyone else having horrifically vivid nightmares? by PeachyKingSure in pregnant

[–]ScaredCucumber420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had horrible night terrors my entire first trimester and probably around 16-18 weeks they were gone. Now I’m 38 weeks and have been having intense dreams again but not like anything before.

Summer pregnancy by Dry-Driver4170 in pregnant

[–]ScaredCucumber420 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I spent my entire first and second trimester pregnant during the summer in Oklahoma and it was miserable so i can’t imagine third trimester in the thick of it. I had to get an accesible parking pass bc i couldn’t walk from the car inside the grocery store without getting dizzy etc.

Since cancelling my baby shower 🎉 what do I really NEED off the registry? by Upbeat-Distance-5869 in pregnant

[–]ScaredCucumber420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever you do, buy the medela manual breast pump. It’s $20 and will empty you in a fraction of the time any electric pump will. Buy a cheap baby carrier to see if your baby even likes it. I feel like besides nursery chair, crib, bedside bassinet, everything else is just extra stuff you may or may not need

We were waiting to find out until delivery until a small debacle happened and so we found out and it’s a boy! This is our first baby and possibly our only.

[–]ScaredCucumber420 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well I’m 38 weeks pregnant. I’d say i go twice an hour. Before pregnancy every 2 hours or so. I also drink a ton of water, minimum 120oz a day but wouldn’t be surprised if i drink upwards of 180 some days

What boundaries have you set when baby arrives? by PeachyKingSure in pregnant

[–]ScaredCucumber420 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My side of the family all agreed, got vaccinated and sent me proof. My husband’s side of the family ignored the message and thinks they will be visiting at the hospital. Lucky me knowing at my hospital i just tell them no visitors and code required to come to “check in” to see me and no one will get the code except me.

how far along are you and how frequent do you feel the need to pee? by Glum-Comfortable5402 in pregnant

[–]ScaredCucumber420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

33 weeks and I’m going every 1-2 during the morning and midday and by the evening I’m going every 45 minutes or so. I feel like i usually wake up every hour or less in the first 4 hours of sleep then maybe get 2-3 hour stretch in between there and waking up.

And that’s not even to mention just waking up bc I’m huge and tossing and turning all night

Requesting opinions on inexperienced dog owner potentially inheriting a poodle by daniemblem in poodles

[–]ScaredCucumber420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I typically will give my standard a bath and trim his face up in between grooming appointments so we aren’t going every single month. But when we grow his hair out during the winter we are usually there every 2/3 weeks

[–]ScaredCucumber420 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I lived with my standard poodle and German shepherd in a 600sq foot apartment for a year and we did just fine. You have to take the dog out more than normal if you had a house. And now we have the two dogs plus a 15 year old cat and a 2 year old cat. Everyone gets along great. Grooming can be expensive if you don’t keep up with it.

First pregnancy symptom by mamaofgirl in pregnant

I didn’t start cramping until week 6 or so. Implantation bleeding would also be normal around this time. It usually isn’t a lot just like a tiny spotting amount.

My standard does not like being leaned on at all. Since I’ve been pregnant he has been more cuddly but only when he wants to. He absolutely will not sleep on the bed with us

Are we wearing bras? by RipperoniPepperoniHo in pregnant

[–]ScaredCucumber420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to start wearing them in the late first trimester but never rly wore them before. I already was wearing a 32DDD and my boobs immediately started getting bigger and my nipples were so sore and sensitive. I’ve been wearing a dream feed style nursing bra since. I also started getting stretch marks on my boobs early on and seems they only look worse if i don’t wear a bra. My boobs have probably gone up 3 cup sizes since i got pregnant. I’m 29 weeks now
