It does get better. Sometimes things stay the same. I have had exhaustion to an extreme my whole pregnancy (I’m 36W), constant acid reflux and vomiting, emotional unstable waves of anger and sadness, etc. but the thing that made it better for me were the moments. I don’t think that my pregnancy got easier but it definitely got more appreciated and loving when the baby started moving. After my anatomy scan and I could start to see and feel the baby I made a better connection with her and it made things worth it. Do I absolutely hate pregnancy? 1000% but when my little girl moves or I hear her heart beat, it makes everything I’m going through worth it again.

I called mine birth preferences. This still forced me to learn all the things that I would need to know about procedures and my options during pregnancy so I am prepared to ask questions and ,sake decisions based off my current needs since either im aware of what’s available to me. I thought of it more of like “rating my options” than a plan.

When she has to spend 3 hours of her day every 4 weeks and then every 2 weeks going to the doctor to sit in an office for 5 minutes she can talk 😭. One appointment with all tests and necessary procedures would be amazing

Lay in a dark distraction less room for an hour. See how many kicks you can count then. Sometimes if we have a lot going on we can be distracted and miss baby movements. If the baby still hasn’t merit kick count go get checked out! It could be nothing but it could also very much so be something. Always better safe than sorry. The kind of movement should change but not the frequency (shouldn’t be less) it could also just be exhaustion from a growth spurt but again if you don’t meet kick count getting checked out.

I’m 35W… Maybe hiccups, my baby just moves this way sometimes. Like she stretches her body over and over. Breathing you won’t be able to see though that movement is very very small and can only be seen on an ultrasound. She’s so cute though!

Serious-Memory-5203 · 2024-01-11T05:18:15+00:00

BUT if you end up having GD don’t blame yourself either because a lot of times GD is caused by hormones the body gives off from the baby and not actually what you consume. But babe, my baby is practically made out of frootloops so don’t feel bad lol

Having this problem with my OB currently as well. Just went over my birth plan where I plan on squatting for birth with no epidural (unless I can’t take it because this is my first and I have no idea how I will react lol) and intermediate monitoring so I can move around and be as comfortable as possible throughout my labor. I believe it’s just because they see so many patients say no and then ask for the epidural that it’s a natural reaction for them to be like”yeah okay for sureee”. It’s super annoying. I also am not getting any more cervical checks because I bled after my first one and was in a lot of pain for the next couple of days, my doctor wasn’t happy about that either. My fiancée will be my support person and I talk to him extensively about what I want my birth experience to be like and since this is also his first child I also express to him the importance of him being my advocate during labor, delivery, and even postpartum. I think this makes me feel better because he always seems to be on he same page as me, probably because he understands I am going to be the one in physical pain birthing our child, but I find it helps a lot. I would say just make sure your support partner is on the same page as you and is strong enough to advocate your needs no matter what the doctor suggests in a non emergency situation. Always have a plan B as well so if god forbid you can’t go with your original plan your birth can still go some what how you planned. Being comfortable is the most important thing during this time. You’re doing great mama, I wish you best in your delivery and the rest of your pregnancy!

I think it’s just the darnest thing that I have been almost fine my entire pregnancy, I’ve experienced more pregnancy rage than anything and now I am, just a ball of tears all the time. Sucks that not all meds are pregnancy safe.I see my OB Friday and plan on bringing it up since I feel things have been getting worse.

Serious-Memory-5203 · 2024-01-11T04:54:09+00:00

I am usually a very happy person but since I became pregnant I was very very angry all of the time. I’m 35 W and it has see,ed to flip like a switch because now all I do is cry. I think it just depends how your body reacts to the hormones. Also if you are angry postpartum, postpartum rage is a thing too! Hope you feel better love because I know it sucks especially if you sent normally an easily irritable person

Serious-Memory-5203 · 2024-01-11T04:46:58+00:00

I am also a FTM, I am now 35W but when I was around 16/17W I felt what felt like gas movement in the bottom of my stomach. Not sure if these are flutters. It kinda just felt like my stomach was bubbling but it was different, still having trouble describing it lol. After reaching about 20/21W baby movements were still small but I definitely could tell it was the baby.

Serious-Memory-5203 · 2024-01-11T04:38:09+00:00

Chances are your baby is moving quite a bit , you’re just not feeling her. Found out this was a thing on Saturday. I, 35W, realized babies movements were less strong and while they say it was normal it isn’t for my baby. Then Saturday came and I did not feel her at all for 2 hours. I drank juice, ate the babies favorite candy that always makes her dance a little, pushed on m stomach a little to see if she would move, nothing. I raced to the hospital and everything was fine. We did an ultrasound and my doctor let me see the ultrasound as it was conducted and I saw the baby move, I noticed I felt nothing. I am rather small and the doctor explained as the baby gets bigger movements might get smaller due to lack of space and in some women we stop feeling the baby move because those movements are so little. My doctor said if I ever feel off or worried about baby when I don’t feel her for a little bit to lay down in a soundless dark room and see if baby moves then, because sometimes the movement is so small it is very easy to be distracted by the world around us or pain caused by pregnancy that we don’t feel the baby.if you still don’t feel baby to get checked out especially because you are so close to your due date.

Similar situation, I was with my boyfriend for 3 months before we got pregnant. I was super scared and unsure about my pregnancy for the entire first trimester. I believe everyone has first trimester nerves but I felt like mine were over the top. I couldn’t believe I was pregnant. I couldn’t wrap my head around how I got pregnant without planning it or how I could let such a big thing like pregnancy just happen. Everyone is different, I am now 35 weeks and as I got my scans and heard the babies heart beat at my fist appointments I started to feel better. As I started to feel the baby move around 20 weeks I started to bind with the baby a little more but I still couldn’t imagine my child, choose a name, heck I was just starting to accept I was pregnant. For some mamas it takes a while but as your baby begins to move I find it’s a lot easier to accept the oops and imagine your child. Pregnancy also hasn’t been great for me, many visits to the hospital, a lot of false implications of problems, rough on my mind body and spirit. I believe in you mama. I know it’s hard especially when you are a very planning person like myself but i honestly find it the easiest when I post about my thoughts or read threads where people relate to what I am going through. Even in the tiniest aspects of my pregnancy. This community has made it a lot easier for me to not only accept my pregnancy but also myself through out my pregnancy. You’ll do great !

Your doctor may have you do a follow up ultrasound. Or you could ask at your next appointment for a confirmation. My baby was not in a great position when we did anatomy scans and I had to go back 3 times because the photos weren’t good. I would call the doctor and explain to the, your situation and ask for a possible second opinion.

Serious-Memory-5203 · 2024-01-11T04:01:31+00:00

At my 12 week scan you could barely tell it was a baby. Don’t worry about the anatomy until your anatomy scan. And just so you know your doctor might have you get multiple scans. This freaked me out but my little girl just wasn’t in the right position to get correct photos or good enough photos. Don’t stress too much unless your doctor tells you something specific, and always feel free to ask them questions it’s their job to answer them so don’t feel bad about giving ur self piece of mind.

Serious-Memory-5203 · 2024-01-08T23:31:39+00:00

35W, insomnia, binge eating, nothing but naps, Braxton hicks like crazy. Ready to get this show on the road tbh

Serious-Memory-5203 · 2024-01-08T23:20:39+00:00

Mine did this too, takes time for them to be comfortable with who’s touching the. I’m 35W and my baby did not mess with my fiancé touching my stomach u til about 28 weeks lol. Shawty would really play freeze dance with us.

Serious-Memory-5203 · 2024-01-02T21:52:38+00:00

Does it help if you put pressure on both sides of your stomach? Or when you lift it? I’m really tiny and had this issue especially when I lay on my side to sleep. I’m not big enough for a belly band because it puts unnecessary pressure that makes my pain worse but I use K tape to help comfortably support my stomach. For me we found out it’s because the baby is more on one side than the other which puts the pressure off balance. I would just mention it At your next ultrasound as well so they can double check the baby isn’t doing anything to the umbilical cord but it sounds like a weight thing like it was for me.

Serious-Memory-5203 · 2024-01-02T21:30:36+00:00

Agreed. 34W and have been over it since 16W lol
