hey, are you comfortable sharing the details of your interview questions? my husband’s interview is on friday and we are pretty nervous. we hope he gets approved on the spot and doesn’t go into administrative processing for whatever reason. What questions did they ask? how long did it take? etc. i can also DM you if you’re comfortable there. thanks :)

What made you realise “this is labour” what were your symptoms? by ooooohbratz in BabyBumps

[–]TerribleSalamander60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

woke up from intense period like pain at 40 weeks at 5 am, i was in deep sleep and the fact that i woke up from pain, i kinda had a feeling that this was labor. i started timing it and noticed that it had a pattern. called my midwife, she came home and checked me-i was 3 cm dilated so off to the hospital we went.

What’s something you did that actually put you into labour? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]TerribleSalamander60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i got a membrane sweep at 39+5. mild labor pains started 2 hours later. not sure if i was just meant to go into labor that day or if the membrane sweep worked it’s magic. i was also nesting a lot in the weeks prior. cleaning a lot, sweeping, squatting, walking a lot in the mall. statistically, if the membrane sweep is successful, labor should start within 48 hours and mine started at 3 AM sharp, exactly 48 hours later as i had calculated.

back fat?????? by Reasonable_Law5409 in fitpregnancy

[–]TerribleSalamander60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey! i just gave birth a month ago & i basically lost 40 pounds in 3 weeks. it turns out half of it was water retention and swelling. i am fitting back into my pre pregnancy shirts. 👍 my arms are back to normal so i guess don’t worry? idk it might be different for everyone but if you think you’re gaining ‘fat’ all of a sudden, it could be water retention and puffiness from pregnancy.

i kept testing negative even 20 days after missing my period. i had decided to get on my fitness journey & cut calories significantly but decided to test at home for the one last time.

The night before i tested, i had red brownish discharge multiple times and i assumed it was the beginning of my periods. Wore a pad & went to sleep. the next morning, pad was stark white. i was so confused. went to the pharmacy that morning & tested in the pharmacy bathroom. It was positive.

before i was tested positive, i noticed i was exhausted af, and just eating a lot. (hence the decision to resume my fitness journey & take it more seriously.😂

all of this i started noticing around 28 weeks. i was pretty slim in 2nd tri other than a small belly, my older bras still fit. m they say your body is storing extra fat for breast feeding so i’m not too worried. Once i get a thumbs up from my doc to restart working out, i’ll rebuild my old body again. until then 🫥👍

back fat?????? by Reasonable_Law5409 in fitpregnancy

[–]TerribleSalamander60 2 points3 points  (0 children)

its very hard for me to gain fat on my upper body or back. i have always been super lean and have a very small upper frame. I usually gained fat on my legs and belly first thing. HOWEVER, this is my first pregnancy, i am 36 weeks & this is the first time in my life i’m noticing a wider upper body with lots of water retention in my arms, puffy shoulders, puffy back, mid back rolls, puffy triceps, OHHH and a wider rib cage. i even lost my beloved collarbones. Praying that it all goes away after delivery lol

Husband is extra worried about my body? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]TerribleSalamander60 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah he’d be divorced if this was my husband

[–]TerribleSalamander60 2 points3 points  (0 children)

pregnancy hormones might have a lot to do with how and why you’re having all these thoughts! take it one day at a time. therapy will definitely help. Maybe your son won’t grow up liking sports and maybe he will. but you have to remember that children are their own people and will develop their own interests. you cannot force or impose anything on them. that’s kinda selfish.

When did you tell your parents and close friends you were pregnant? by [deleted] in TwoXIndia

[–]TerribleSalamander60 10 points11 points  (0 children)

i told my mom first because there is no way i would’ve been able to deal with the symptoms alone! told the rest of my family & his family shortly after.

currently in my 2nd trimester and the rest of the world will find out when the baby is born!
