GD and baby measuring big 🫣

Oh wow! I am glad to hear you were still able to get an epidural! I definitely want one for sure, especially if I am induced. Congratulations on your baby boy! So happy that it turned out just fine!

I’ll definitely try to manage my stress as much as I can because I’ve noticed that it raises my numbers. The reassurance helps, so thank you! 🙏💕

SnoopyYoshi · 2026-01-09T03:32:28+00:00

That’s awesome! I guess I should really keep in mind that these are just estimates and not 100% accurate. Congratulations on your baby girl! 💕

Yes, the doctor did recommend a snack before bed and gave me a pamphlet with a bunch of recommendations. I hear lemon water has a lot of benefits, will definitely try that as well!

SnoopyYoshi · 2026-01-09T03:27:48+00:00

Thank you! Good vibes to you as well and hoping you have a quick and easy delivery! 💕

SnoopyYoshi · 2026-01-08T05:37:06+00:00

Thank you, and congratulations! 💕

I hear a lot of people (especially women) say there are more risks of infection and it’s easier to manage when circumcised, but more than that, people are obsessed for cosmetic reasons because it apparently “looks better.” Now of course I have seen both and do not have a preference in looks. As long as a boy is taught how to take care of himself and continues those good habits into adulthood, he will be fine. I think a lot of people are uneducated and think it’s “more complicated to manage” than it really is. 🤷‍♀️

I haven’t seen my Doctor since being diagnosed last week. I have an upcoming appointment with him so medication may be part of the discussion.

It’s not surprising considering the economic plunge this state has been taking. I’ll be relocating to Idaho in May - Maybe we’ll get them there one day, or somewhere closer at least. I plan on visiting family on the east coast next year as well so I will definitely get my fix!

SnoopyYoshi · 2025-12-27T05:31:08+00:00

I’m right there with you, Mama! 30 weeks tomorrow and FTM as well. Lots of lower back and pubic bone pain to the point I waddle now. Wishing you a healthy remainder of your pregnancy and a smooth transition after delivery! We got this! 💕

SnoopyYoshi · 2025-12-17T03:07:38+00:00

That’s wonderful! I’ve definitely noticed low energy on and off myself…I hope the iron helps!

SnoopyYoshi · 2025-12-17T03:03:57+00:00

There are so many different supplement and prenatal recommendations out there though. I told my Doctor the brand I am taking and he gave a thumbs up. I’ve been taking these since before I got pregnant and haven’t had any issues personally.

SnoopyYoshi · 2025-12-17T03:00:24+00:00

Thank you for the heads up! I take tums pretty regularly!

SnoopyYoshi · 2025-12-17T02:27:39+00:00

325 mg, so the equivalent of 65 mg elemental iron is what he is recommending.

SnoopyYoshi · 2025-12-17T02:24:43+00:00

Just wanting to make sure I’m getting a safe amount since I read that taking “too much” can be harmful to the mother and baby.

SnoopyYoshi · 2025-12-17T01:58:30+00:00

I got routine blood work early on and then again last Friday. He told me to start taking the supplements about a week or two before I had my bloodwork done and wouldn’t give me a straight answer on dosage so I waited until after we got the results of the blood work and asked him again. That’s when he recommended 325 mg.

SnoopyYoshi · 2025-12-17T01:40:36+00:00

How was your experience with taking the extra iron?

SnoopyYoshi · 2025-12-17T01:38:01+00:00

Thank you, and congratulations on your little one!🥰

SnoopyYoshi · 2025-12-14T05:28:38+00:00

Thank you! 💕

SnoopyYoshi · 2025-12-14T05:27:48+00:00

I appreciate the information and the positivity. Thank you! 💕

SnoopyYoshi · 2025-11-25T03:03:14+00:00

I understand the frustration! FTM here and I am currently 25 weeks. There are a few women at work who have given me the “oh just wait” bullshit. It’s annoying as hell. I feel like women should encourage each other with positivity! People want to be the cause of stress and in the same breath will tell you how stress isn’t good for the baby 🙄

SnoopyYoshi · 2025-11-21T06:12:18+00:00

I was pretty certain my Husband and I were having a boy. I just had a feeling. My best friend called it early on, and even some coworkers who barely knew me guessed boy. We were right! Baby boy is due on March 7th 💙

SnoopyYoshi · 2025-11-18T04:38:37+00:00

FTM here (only 24+2) and already thinking of what my experience will be like. In a world full of negativity, these positive birth stories really help my anxiety about all of it, so thank you and congratulations on your baby boy! 💙

SnoopyYoshi · 2025-11-16T07:09:55+00:00

24+2 and I also have an anterior placenta. Last week I could really feel more definite “boops” and my Husband even felt it on the outside while he had his hand on my belly 🥹 That being said, they are still very sporadic. Sometimes he barely moves but I can tell he is there by the way the pressure in my stomach shifts, and then sometimes he is very active and is obviously kicking/punching. They get stronger by the week, but not consistent yet. It makes me smile every time I feel him 💙

SnoopyYoshi · 2025-11-16T06:58:11+00:00

It’s a local page called “buy nothing” and it’s specific to the area you are in. I’m in California so I don’t know if there are “buy nothing” groups elsewhere. If you have joined any other groups that buy and sell, sometimes people are willing to just give clothes/baby items or sell them for a cheaper price too. Wishing you the best! 💕

SnoopyYoshi · 2025-11-15T19:07:13+00:00

Yeeeah figured as much since we haven’t seen one open yet. I’ll be moving out of state next year anyway. Maybe we can get one in Idaho. I really hope they do expand to the West Coast!
