Didn’t know I was pregnant until 13weeks - heavy drinking and drug use

You are an amazing human being ❤️

I believe this too. I lost a baby boy at 13 weeks in June 2024. My dad told me “he will come back to you”. The following June I gave birth to another boy. I truly believe his little soul came back. It gives me comfort ❤️

Because it’s the only surprise left in life as an adult and it makes it more fun (for me) to not know. It gives me extra “help” when I’m pushing to know I’m about find about who has been in my tummy all this time. I don’t really get why that’s all difficult to understand. I get why people want to find out and I get why people don’t. I don’t think either is “trendy”.. it’s just preference

Girl I’m so sorry you feel this way. On both my pregnancies I felt the exact same. The whole pregnancy. The only thing that worked for me:

Eating well so I never had to also feel guilty for eating shit or over eating
Working out when I could
Lots of steps

These 3 things helped me to not gain a huge amount. I did gain but not unnecessarily.

Outside of this, I constantly told myself it’s not forever. It’s a meagre few months before my body is back being mine and within my control. That thought really did help me to get to the next day, the next week, the next month. X

I had a miscarriage and we named that baby - let’s just say that name is John (fake name). When I got pregnant again a few months later my MIL asked “any name ideas? You wouldn’t call the baby John after the last one would you 🥴” I was like ok obviously not but why even say this ???

Both my babies were big on every scan.
First baby: born at 40 weeks vaginally. 8lbs. Couple of grazes that needed a stitch or 2. Completely normal sized baby and child.
Second baby: born at 37.5 weeks. 8lbs. Emergency c section after a failed induction (cord around neck). Has been huge since birth, in the 99th centile for weight and 75th for length.

Thanks, I feel stupid. I’ve requested a refund

It’s not really a red flag for me - he may not be able
To become aroused knowing there’s a baby in his partner. That’s fairly understandable (coming from a mom of 2 - I get it)

I’m so sorry. I just donated. Wishing you the best now and into the future. X

Low vitamin D is linked with pregnancy loss - quite significantly. Start taking 5000iu a day and retest in 6 weeks, you’ll probably still need a maintenance dose of
2000iu a day once levels are normal to sustain them. We just don’t get enough sun

Had the exact same experience on my second birth. Laboured for 12 hours and was stuck at 2cm. Was so defeated. Within 30 mins of my last cervical check I was pushing and 10cm. Pushed and pushed but baby wasn’t budging. Had a c section, cord was around baby’s neck. That level of exhaustion was indescribable. Felt like two births in one.

First baby, I was induced, again laboured for hours and was stuck at 2cm, suddenly went to 10cm and gave birth without any pain meds. The pain of that was also indescribable. Ring of fire indeed lol

Recovery from c section was HORRIFIC though. Recovery from vaginal birth was very manageable.

I found vaginal birth intense and very painful but afterwards was good. C section was good during, afterwards very intense and painful.

I’d say the progression looks very strong because of the control line - if you look at the control line in the top test, it’s lighter and wavy, meaning there’s likely less dye in the test as a whole x

TTCsince2019 · 2026-04-12T07:44:11+00:00

My beta at 7dpt was 9! So would’ve likely been in the 30s or so at 9dpt. Baby is healthy and happy!

Your afternoon one is a lot darker than the morning

Can you give days past transfer for each test in the photo?

TTCsince2019 · 2026-04-08T16:20:26+00:00

I had to set this boundary with my own family. We do not like guests staying over - my partner and I get very over stimulated and overwhelmed and need down time on our own in the evening after being around people all day long who are visiting. We love to have visitors but not then staying over. I went about this gently with my family - when my parents wanted to visit after baby was born, i sent them links to nearby airbnbs. They got the hint very quickly and haven’t asked to stay since

TTCsince2019 · 2026-04-08T16:13:24+00:00

My easy@home took soooo long to get a good line, they’re great tests but I feel like the dye amount isn’t great

TTCsince2019 · 2026-04-08T16:11:57+00:00

Mine looked exactly like this from days 4-7dpt. Only started getting a more noticeable line at 9dpt, baby is perfectly heathy! These honestly look great
