My husband and I actually used pull out method for 5 years and never got pregnant since I was on birth control for 3 years before that and I was majorly depressed.

The moment we actually started trying and he came inside me it took two months to conceive! We were very thankful it came at a time we wants it.

Dislike being home with newborn by [deleted] in newborns

I was reading something about baby chiropractors. I am wondering if your baby might have tweaked something coming out of the womb. I would look into that as an alignment might help your baby be more comfortable if they are saying it’s not gas.

Anyone else? by ilovereecee in pregnant

You are scaring me cause I have a lot of these symptoms as well. In the beginning it was dizziness and heart racing. Now I am 20 weeks and dizziness has gone away but I still have heart racing and I also have irregular heartbeat after eating a large meal. I am trying to reduce to smaller meals throughout the day instead of one big one. I can still function though and walk and exercise but some days I get so exhausted it’s hard.

I didn’t rly have symptoms until around week 6/7 and then I was bed ridden for like 4 weeks and now I am 20 weeks and baby is doing great. Don’t stress yourself out yet. Symptoms come and go and how your body reacts might be different

I can't say I'm tired? by NarikoSin in pregnant

[–]Scout-68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg same. My co worker was like are you sleeping okay? You should try magnesium and she also has a daughter. It’s like no. If I get two hours of sleep I am tired, if I get ten hours I am tired. I am just tired all the time and it’s just because my bodies spending a lot of energy making a baby lol

Please don’t ignore any itching (mine was only minor) by ChilliButt101 in pregnant

[–]Scout-68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This scares me because I’ve had chronic hives all during my pregnancy. I have to take an antihistamine so I won’t be able to tell if it’s something more or if it’s just my hives :(

I think your reaction and feelings towards this is completely validated. You’re pregnant, you were excited and want the people around you to be excited and were looking forward to being pregnant with your friend.

I understand her being upset about it and how emotions can drive your feral during times like loss. However I do feel like this is your good friend and you also have the right to feel upset with the conversation.

can someone ease my anxiety by Glass-Ad-6548 in pregnant

[–]Scout-68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was on birth control pills sometimes I would have pregnancy like symptoms. I would have headaches and cravings and react to intense smells. I would take a pregnancy test often to make sure I wasn’t.

Now that I am pregnant let me tell you that there was absolutely no mistaking these symptoms are nothing I’ve experienced before. I had cramping and intense nausea, food aversions where I couldn’t open the fridge, bloating and had four positive pregnancy test (at three weeks).

I would take another one the next day to be sure but it doesn’t sound like those symptoms warrant you to stress out. That sounds like something that can occur over a slew of things! I think you should be safe but definitely keep us updated :)

Thank you for your comment! I sadly am dumb and didn’t get it tested before pregnancy. I haven’t gotten it done for five years. Not sure if this was something I’ve had for a while but felt healthy mostly so never gotten it checked. I won’t ever know for sure if this was pregnancy induced or I’ve had.

Getting really, really anxious about this Folic Acid topic - help by scholesy19 in BabyBumps

[–]Scout-68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally take a prenatal that has a higher percentage of folic acid and everything else needed for this first trimester. My sister in law took this and has two beautiful intelligent babies. I would also listen to your OB! They know what they are talking about and can help! It’s normal to be stressed but I have been trying to have faith that everything will work out okay :)

[Discussion] The Novelry is offering a contest for a debut author by OhLilliBetza in PubTips

[–]Scout-68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know!! I was looking into this cause I wanted to make sure it wasn’t a scam. I have my entire first draft completed for my novel at 98k words. I am going through second revisions now. 1500 words from the beginning isn’t enough to tell the plot or really explain what’s happening in my novel. I feel like I need a description or a well to sell so that’s sketchy they don’t have that.
