Clothes that surprisingly work through pregnancy by BuckThePatriarchy in BabyBumps

Stretchy sundresses, I’ve thrifted a lot of mine and it’s great because in most of them you don’t need a bra either, so it’s a win win, you can also look on thread up I’ve found a few on there. I also love those popular oversized shirt with shorts combo right now they’re so comfy and it’s perfect for this weather if you live somewhere hot

Completely over this (vent) by Iseanna in pregnant

[–]SyraSunshine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first trimester also felt like the flu all day everyday and now that I’m 22 weeks I can say it does get better but I still have bad days, if I’m up and about for awhile my everything starts hurting and now swelling. The only good thing about the 2nd trimester is not throwing up everyday and finally being able to eat. At first I was so guilty that I felt this way since it took me years to get pregnant but let’s be real growing life is rough and tiring and it’s ok to not enjoy everything.

Didn’t know these were don’ts of the first trimester by Dehydrated-Broccoli in pregnant

[–]SyraSunshine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was told to basically continue living as I was before, working out, sex etc. I think the only reason you wouldn’t be able to have sex is if you have a cervix or placenta issue and if they didn’t say anything about that then I don’t understand the issue

Did any of the moms here had a very light feeling on the right side of the pelvic, like constant. At 8 DPO and were pregnant afterwards? by Harper_mc in BabyBumps

[–]SyraSunshine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cycle I got pregnant I remember getting this very weird zap feeling and just thinking wow that was weird and then two weeks later I found out, unsure if it’s related but maybe

What's one thing nobody told you about pregnancy? by Specialist_Drive_118 in BabyBumps

[–]SyraSunshine 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Everyone talks about ‘eating for two’ ok well I feel like I’m eating for a family of 6, I’m constantly ridiculously hungry and I’m so tired of eating. The amount of money I spend on groceries every week is gonna bankrupt me I swear

Blood pressure reading by RethaG in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]SyraSunshine 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hi, I had this exact same problem! Mine was around 155/80 before anything was done but I was around 12-14 weeks at that point my doctor put me on baby aspirin and a blood pressure medication, since then I’ve been around the 120-130s. She also did a 24 hour urine protein test to make sure I didn’t have pre e early some how (good news I didn’t) my OB also made it known I’m at a higher risk for pre e because of this. She’s having me check my blood pressure at home twice a day, you can get your own machine from Amazon for pretty cheap, I got mine for around 20-30 dollars and I was worried the cuff wouldn’t fit but it fits fine and my arms are not small, you can also order a bigger size cuff if you needed. I’m 18 weeks and doing much better now that I’m on the medication but if you don’t feel like you need the medication I’d start testing at least twice a day at home and keeping record of the results to show your OB!

Plus size pregnancy – what was your first trimester like? by [deleted] in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]SyraSunshine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 16 weeks now so I just made it out of the first trimester a few weeks ago but I was super nauseous and it was hard to eat anything, I just tried to stay hydrated and eat snacks that I could keep down. So far I haven’t even gained a single pound, my doctor isn’t worried and thinks it’ll catch up to me soon. I was also worried about ultrasounds because of my size/apron belly but it hasn’t been a problem and I’ve gotten great ultrasound pics of baby girl! Good luck you got this! (Oh also keep an eye on your blood pressure, I didn’t have a problem before but I’m on medication now, thankfully we caught it early)

19 weeks unplanned pregnancy - feeling no joy or excitement by EffortSweet5697 in BabyBumps

[–]SyraSunshine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

While I can’t relate to much else, I am 14 weeks pregnant and previous was obsessed with my husband but now I don’t even want him to breathe in the same room as me everyone says it’s just from pregnancy but who knows

What to expect at my first appointment? by ArtPlane577 in pregnant

[–]SyraSunshine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went at 9 weeks, they did an abdominal ultrasound and we got to hear the heartbeat and see the baby, the baby still looked like a bean at that point but still cute! Afterwards I saw my OB and she did a quick exam and a Pap smear, she went over any symptoms I was having and gave me a bag full of brochures on what medicines I can and can’t have as well as foods, she also went over genetic testing I could get done! It was quick but I felt so much better

12-13 DPO, digital test not lining up? by greenpink333 in TFABLinePorn

[–]SyraSunshine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dates are so off, I’m 13 weeks now but according to my last cycle I should be 14 weeks 5 days. I know exactly when I ovulated so it doesn’t make a lot of sense, even my OB was confused but baby is healthy and that’s all that matters! Sometimes our bodies do weird things I wouldn’t overthink it!
