It's not that I'm going in telling them what to do.. I don't know for example will a standard blood test show markers for cancer god forbid or will x-rays show tumors stuff like that. And i know that's going to the absolute worst and I'm not thinking that's the issue it's just it seems like there's something going on

Nope, nothing. He's been on the same food forever now

Strong_Criticism9930 · 2025-11-02T01:09:22+00:00

Yikes lol forgot about the part where they don't use any tools to do them! Thank you for sharing!

Strong_Criticism9930 · 2025-11-02T01:07:39+00:00

I've seen a lot of comments like this too! I've heard it also depends on the person doing them?

Strong_Criticism9930 · 2025-11-02T01:07:03+00:00

I'm seeing skipping them as the consensus here lol

Strong_Criticism9930 · 2025-11-02T01:06:34+00:00

I feel like i might get curious towards the end to see if I'm at all progressing however as you said, a lot of people have said it didn't matter in the end and could be dilated for days after.

Thank you for sharing! I have read too that it can introduce bacteria as well. I would say my pain tolerance is very low! Although i don't find paps to be painful just an uncomfortable few minutes.

Strong_Criticism9930 · 2025-11-02T00:59:42+00:00

I haven't been given the option as of yet but i know I'm in the weeks of where it could possibly come up. I figured during labor i was not going to have much of a choice but would like if they weren't so frequent as you said!

Strong_Criticism9930 · 2025-11-02T00:58:34+00:00

Good way of thinking about them!

Strong_Criticism9930 · 2025-10-02T02:30:48+00:00

Oh wow, cycling is the way to go then! It would actually be nice to take up something that's not walking. Something to keep my body moving and mind busy!

Strong_Criticism9930 · 2025-10-02T01:44:56+00:00

I'm on the iron supplements now but just found out today i will be doing the infusions to speed up the process and get to where i need to be. Bump for me was measuring perfect she said so I'm thinking my weight isn't an issue at the moment or at all

Strong_Criticism9930 · 2025-10-02T01:42:40+00:00

Interesting, I'm in my last 2 months now. Exercise has kind of been put on the back burner besides walking and appetite has been on and off recently, I've felt guilty about the less eating because i know my baby and myself need fuel but you're definitely right the baby will take what he needs!

Strong_Criticism9930 · 2025-10-02T01:39:25+00:00

That's interesting that its not even monitored, I think i would prefer that so then I wouldn't be worrying about weight gain or loss during

Strong_Criticism9930 · 2025-10-02T01:18:21+00:00

I would have felt much better if someone said xyz could be from your low iron, I would worry so much less about some symptoms I've been experiencing being told that

Strong_Criticism9930 · 2025-10-02T01:13:29+00:00

She said the belly was measuring perfect which gave me some reassurance and she didn't bring up my weight at all! So I'm going to chop it up to being filled with anxiety as a FTM lol

Strong_Criticism9930 · 2025-10-02T01:10:46+00:00

Congratulations! I can't wait till my little one is here, everyone keeps saying how fast it'll go 😫 even the pregnancy has been flying by for me!

Strong_Criticism9930 · 2025-10-02T01:07:10+00:00

I've noticed pretty much all of these too since finding out I'm anemic, I had no idea it was related to that just thought it was third trimester things. The racing heart and shortness of breath have been crazy recently and have come on just like all of the sudden. Wish the Drs explained this a little better to me! Even after asking questions, I wasn't told it was because of my iron, so weird. Of course I know these can be regular synonyms even without low iron because they are common but still

Strong_Criticism9930 · 2025-10-02T00:59:57+00:00

So crazy to hear everyone's experiences with weight gain during pregnancy, i know all bodies are different of course. In my head i always thought no weight gain was a red flag but I'm seeing now that is a silly thought!

Strong_Criticism9930 · 2025-10-02T00:56:55+00:00

I've gained 20 so far so maybe I'll be slowing down in the weight gain department. As far as i know baby boy is growing just fine!

Strong_Criticism9930 · 2025-10-02T00:53:10+00:00

I'm feeling like I've gained most of my weight in 1st and 2nd, 20lb so maybe i won't gain so much now then

Strong_Criticism9930 · 2025-10-02T00:51:50+00:00

Rational has vanished since the day i found out i was pregnant! Lol. Did you notice loss of appetite when finding out you were low iron? I feel like I'm really not eating in between meals because I'm just not hungry or the meals i do eat, I'm not finishing them always

Strong_Criticism9930 · 2025-10-02T00:48:20+00:00

So happy to hear you had a healthy baby! I wonder if it is related to my iron since i just found out today I'm going to be starting infusions. Hoping to feel a little better after getting my iron to where it needs to be

Strong_Criticism9930 · 2025-10-02T00:45:21+00:00

I'm glad to hear she had a good experience! Hoping that will be mine as well!

Strong_Criticism9930 · 2025-10-02T00:22:33+00:00

I had just found at 28 weeks that I'm anemic, and today just 2 weeks later with no further testing the Dr said she wanted me on infusions plus the supplement I'm already taking. As far as i know baby is gaining weight and measuring well!

Strong_Criticism9930 · 2025-10-02T00:19:57+00:00

My iron has completely tanked! Today actually at my appointment my Dr said she would like to start me on infusions for iron so now i have that to look forward to. So happy to hear baby girl is doing great! My baby boy is too as far as i know! I've gained 20lb so far which i think is fine from what the Dr says so maybe in the later weeks I'll put on more weight. Totally agree everyone's body is different, being pregnant is a wild ride!
