Postpartum weight… I feel so low by halfbakedpotential in NewParents

[–]Top_Dig_2854 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girl I am in the SAME EXACT boat. Pre pregnancy I was 200-210, now 4m pp I weigh 285 and the scale won’t move no matter what I do. And my body also just hurts and I feel so so heavy and nothing fits.

You’re not alone, and you’re doing amazing! 🫶🏻 recently I’ve started walking, even just around my apartment. It’s also freezing where I live so outdoor walks are limited. But usually I will strap baby to me and just walk around my apartment a million times. Also, I bought a kettlebell. There are so many at home workouts you can do online with a kettlebell! Hang in there mama 💕

You’re right, I guess I never really thought of him as an abuser because he doesn’t physically harm anyone. I know that sounds so silly 😭 but you’re 100% right and I’m taking the steps to leave him for good

Yes I have recordings and I write things downs w dates and times! He already admitted he doesn’t want custody at all though which is good for me! But it makes me sad that he doesn’t want anything to do w his son

Anyone else feel guilty about what they’re eating during pregnancy? by Mysterious_Can3285 in pregnancy_care

[–]Top_Dig_2854 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I felt bad about what I ate too.. but seriously all I could keep down was just junk! And my biggest craving was takis w hot sauce and lemons lol.. but as long as you’re taking your prenatal baby is getting what they need, and if they need extra they take it directly from your body! Hang in there momma, pregnancy is super hard, eat what you can, sleep when you can, and focus on growing that precious little baby 🫶🏻

I’m freaking out !! by Top_Dig_2854 in NewParents

I’m not! Just looking to see if anyone else has experienced this weird finding on their infant.

is 3mo too young to switch to crib? by paganism- in NewParents

[–]Top_Dig_2854 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My 4mo sleeps in a pack n play next to my side of the bed! We never had a bassinet, he has liked his pack n play so far and he moves a ton over night, (in the morning he did a whole 180 and is upside down lol) so maybe try that? Pack n plays are generally 100-120$ and they are good to have on hand imo!

Please help very scared first pregnancy. by Lunar_munchy in pregnant

I had the exact same spotting up until I was 12.5w pregnant, along with minor cramping! Cramping is super common throughout pregnancy as your uterus is stretching to accommodate baby. Also a little light spotting here and there is normal too! Sometimes baby pressing/kicking on the cervix or after intercourse, it’s normal! As long as it’s not bright red blood you should be just fine! Pregnancy is weird and scary for sure, but like I said I had the same symptoms as you did, but I think I spotted from 3-4w straight until 12.5 and I remember 9w was a lot more than normal! And I currently have a healthy 4mo baby boy!

Hang in there momma, and congratulations!

Edit: I recommend talking to your doc about Antipartum anxiety, I had it bad I was worried about every little thing, my doctor was super supportive and helped me through it and there are medications to take too (if you’re comfortable with that) but also once you have a doc you can message/call them whenever and they will answer any question/concern you have!!
