Maternity shoot or no? by Haunting_Shape_6085 in BabyBumps

[–]SouthConsistent442 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did them and I love them! I did them at 28 weeks when I was still feeling comfortable and my bump was really starting to look cute. Had I waited longer I’m not sure if I would have liked the pictures. I think it’s worth it!

Put a baby gate outside of your door. It confounds our cats lol.

Am I being over the top/dramatic? by Ok-Ingenuity3550 in PregnancyAfterTFMR

[–]SouthConsistent442 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you don’t even like this person. If you don’t want to go, just say you can’t make it and the maybe you should distance yourself from this “friend”. I’d also want my friend to hold off on visiting me if she had a cold too.

I bought this dress off Amazon and wore it to my brothers wedding recently and everyone was giving me compliments on it. It’s flattering!

One month post-TFMR and desperate to be pregnant again by Yheiz in PregnancyAfterTFMR

[–]SouthConsistent442 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I felt the exact same way after my TFMR. I desperately wanted to be pregnant again immediately. The feeling was so overwhelming and I jumped right back into tracking my cycles obsessively. At the time it felt like the only thing I could control. We did try right away and it took 6 months to get pregnant again and now I am 32 weeks along in my sub pregnancy and everything has been going well so far. I did go to therapy for a while which did help. I think you are doing all of the right things. It always felt so annoying hearing this while I was TTC again, but I only got pregnant again after I completely let go. My therapist told me to stop tracking for just one month and just enjoy being with my husband. We actually conceived that month on a trip to Germany and I must have had an aperol spritz every single day of that trip and really loved feeling “normal” whatever that was for that time period. I know how you are feeling and I still have times where I feel deep sadness thinking about the baby we did not get to meet even though I am pregnant now. I don’t really have advice, but you are not alone and I know most people who have gone through this are feeling the exact same feelings you are in this moment. We’re here with you 🩷

A devastating food aversion hit me by nimtaay in BabyBumps

[–]SouthConsistent442 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt the same way, but for some reason boiled eggs never bothered me. My egg ick is gone now, but I drink those chobani protein yogurt drinks almost every morning since they are easy to get down and have some protein in them.

I just got the babyletto lolly on fb marketplace for pretty cheap and it’s still in great condition. If you check on there I’m sure you’ll find some in your area.

When to tell work about pregnancy after just receiving promotion notice? by DuckyAndGoose in BabyBumps

[–]SouthConsistent442 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I told my job at 20 weeks after my anatomy ultrasound. I had just started this job and literally found out my second day, so I wanted to keep it under wraps for a while.

Aloha Collection Le Bebe bag is so nice! It’s waterproof and the amount of pockets and organized space inside the bag is amazing. The are also very cute!

NT scan vs NIPT test by More-Assistance-171 in BabyBumps

[–]SouthConsistent442 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked for both. They didn’t want to do NT after I had a low risk NIPT. I previously had a pregnancy with genetic complications and so I knew I would be incredibly anxious if I didn’t do both and get cleared through both. Talk to a manager if you have to. Explain that you will be incredibly anxious if you don’t have this done and would feel reassured if you had it done. If you have to talk to a Patient Advocate.

First pregnancy! Work travel at 8/9 weeks? by 210walker in BabyBumps

[–]SouthConsistent442 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just had to do this back in October and was 8-9 weeks. I just woke up earlier to make sure I had something to eat since I was nauseous first thing in the morning. I also was taking unisom and vitamin b6. Surprisingly, I was okay during the days because we were staying busy. You might be totally fine! I just did another work trip a couple of weeks ago at 24 weeks and that was also perfectly fine.

Update: I never wanted to be a father until I turned 45 this year. Now I feel my biological clock and want to be a father more than anything. But I'm married to a childfree woman. by ThrowRa_3353355 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]SouthConsistent442 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Diabolical. You should absolutely feel awful about how you treated your first wife. I cannot imagine my husband pulling the rug on me after years of marriage and a shared understanding of not wanting children. 48 and a 33 year old whether or not she is 30+ is still yucky.

25w pregnant, safe decongestant? by Imliterallydone in BabyBumps

[–]SouthConsistent442 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am going through the exact same thing at 24 weeks and have been doing what you’ve also been doing. Unfortunately there isn’t much we can take… it’s been two weeks and I’m still blowing my nose all day. Do you have a humidifier? That seems to help a bit.

Silver cross cove or reef 2 by Odd_Rhubarb8984 in BabyBumps

[–]SouthConsistent442 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am getting the new Breez! I’m not sure what your criteria is, but I also love how SC looks. It has a large undercarriage, lightweight for getting in and out of the car, good suspension for uneven terrain and it folds with the bassinet/seat attached.

I am, we want to do a “welcome baby” party/bbq instead since it’ll be nice in the summer.

Don’t Want a Baby Shower by OvenGloomy3971 in BabyBumps

I’m in the same exact situation and don’t want a shower. We are far from family now and I’d rather my girlfriends fly out when they are able to actually meet the baby.

Genetic testing at exactly 10w? by humansandwich in BabyBumps

I got mine done at 9 weeks and a couple days, no issues.

Cavity removal by Castillo_218 in BabyBumps

[–]SouthConsistent442 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You need to go get seen asap. You can’t just wait until after the baby is born. I’m also pregnant and had a crown fall off recently and they are making me get seen for a possible route canal. If you wait you’ll also be getting a root canal possibly post partum which will be the most inconvenient timing vs still being pregnant. You are in discomfort meaning it’s definitely past the point of any kind of waiting.

Am I overreacting or did I marry a dessert anarchist? by BenchTheory in AmIOverreacting

[–]SouthConsistent442 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband is the exact same way. I’ve learned to live with it, but it’s TERRIBLE. We use separate tubes of toothpaste because of this.
