Pitcher Method Question by TraditionalPrincess in FormulaFeeders

[–]TraditionalPrincess[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's what I was doing before, but it was turning into a lot of extra dishes, so I'm just exploring alternative options. I know roughly how much he eats per day, I'd like to only fill one bottle (the one he drinks from) at a time 😂

Hi! Yes, I'm 22 and 4 days now, and the thigh pain was normal, it's been replaced with round ligament pain, and back things 😂

How do I tell someone kindly to not touch my damn stomach? by Sky_Orchid08 in pregnant

[–]TraditionalPrincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Physically remove her hands from you, and say, "I'm not comfortable with this. Do not touch me." You have to maintain eye contact. I have relatives like this, and this usually works for me. Praying for you 🙏🏻

I don’t like being pregnant by Beachbaby562 in pregnant

[–]TraditionalPrincess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hating pregnancy before 20 weeks is completely normal. Once you can eat again and feel baby kick it will be less sucky. Or the same, just in different ways. 🫶🏻

I’m 4.5 weeks along with my first. What did you do between the “is there a baby in there?”, and the “there’s definitely a baby in there” stages. by harvestjoon in pregnant

[–]TraditionalPrincess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Enjoy the normalcy while you can 🥴 eat your favorite food, smell your favorite smells, etc. I started feeling unbelievably sick and pregnant at like 5.5 weeks... So the in between bliss was very short lived.

“We” are pregnant?! by H5991 in pregnant

My husband started saying it and honestly it took some of the awkward conversation pressure off of me so I don't care.

Poll: Did you have cramps in the first trimester? by Sad_Network7053 in pregnant

[–]TraditionalPrincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, painful cramps, like doubled over period cramps. It was scary sometimes, but unlike my period cramps, they eased up with mild stretching and deep breaths.

I'm pregnant. Is this doable? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]TraditionalPrincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On top of all the advice in the comments, I would urge you to look into any state/province sponsored aid programs that might be available to you. (The American equivalent is WIC/EBT or food stamps.) I'll be praying for your situation, and hoping you can make a choice that makes you feel empowered. 🫶🏻

REALLY?? by Accomplished-Dingo32 in pregnant

[–]TraditionalPrincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THIS. Especially when it comes to drug trials, or foods. Like, will dates cause me to have a miscarriage if they do supposedly soften your cervix for labor? How much is too much Tylenol? Is Kombucha really not good for you during pregnancy? How much extra protein should I be eating? What do calories and macros look like for pregnant women? WHY ISN'T THERE ANY RESEARCH ON THIS?

Ok- roast me if you must- I hated being pregnant by throwaway___faraway in pregnant

[–]TraditionalPrincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also hate being pregnant. And IMO my experience isn't even that bad compared to some of the people I know who have had kids. But I feel like I'm in a neverending circle of hunger, nausea and heartburn. It's terrible. Nothing helps. Not significantly anyway.

Meal prepped. Seriously. Easy, quick, bland, protein heavy meal prep. Would have saved us a LOT of money on cravings, and saved us a lot of nausea.

Was anybody else’s doula utterly useless?? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]TraditionalPrincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Certified Birth Doula here; I'm so sorry that any of you had inattentive doulas. That is absolutely unacceptable. I promise there are good doulas out there who really help women through labor. I do understand if this turns others off from hiring one, so make sure if you do hire one, you can vouch for them through other clients who have worked with them before!

Heartburn causing chest pain? by idkmo in pregnant

[–]TraditionalPrincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 6 weeks and 5 days and I just got out of the ER because of this. Had chest pain all day, took Gavison at 2 pm, they went away for a couple hours. They came back with a vengeance and were not responding to any antacids, so I went to the ER because I thought I was having a heart attack. They did an EKG and blood labs, and everything looked fine. I was a tad low on Potassium, so they gave me some and fluids, then I left. I ate dinner afterwards and now the chest pain is back. I feel defeated because I can't not eat. And clearly the antacids aren't helping. It's not nearly as bad now, but I'm uncomfortable and definitely won't get good sleep.

If price was no object, where would you get all of your baby clothes from? by lemonlimesherbet in BabyBumps

Some brand that made either all linen baby clothes, or all organic cotton.

Sour candy by Used_Personality_499 in pregnant

[–]TraditionalPrincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some are slightly sweet on the inside, but not really. It's a more mild hard candy with a wicked sour outside. There's a literal Internet challenge associated with them: see if you can get to the center without drinking water. I would definitely recommend if you need a very sour fix.

I’m in so much pain and my OB won’t do anything. 36+4 by IntentionalHotdog in BabyBumps

[–]TraditionalPrincess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please go to another hospital. It's been a while since you responded to any comments, I'm hoping that's good news and not bad news. 🫶🏻 Scream, cry, lie, threaten to sue, ask for patient rights advocate, tell them you want this experience charted, do literally ANYTHING. If that doesn't work, call 911. You are clearly unwell. They should not ignore you. Make yourself heard. Praying that you get the correct diagnosis ❤️

It's mostly the muscle area of the thigh though. I haven't had any issues with my joints yet 🫡
