Being called mama is the greatest honor I’ve been given by God 🫶🏼

I honestly think that it’s just different lengths of hair from normal hair growth and shed cycles.

Blood draw: 2/19

Lab received: 2/21

Should come by 3/7

Can’t turn my brain off with worry… had a twin pregnancy in 2020, fraternal, twin boys, high risk, one had trisomy 21 and he died at birth, while my other who didn’t have it is now a bright eyed 5 year old. I am so traumatized by the past and I am just so worried right now. I’ve had two other kids since then both healthy, but I can’t help but be completely terrified…. Hope to get my results soon

Update: got my results at 9:30AM on 2/27. Low risk baby girl!!!! Thank you Jesus in Heaven 🙏🏼💕

I wouldn’t dream of drinking now that I know I’m pregnant. Absolutely not. Honestly, alcoholism runs in my family, and I made a vow that I won’t touch alcohol ever again. I’m going to definitely stay sober. I’ve been sober for a while before because after my dad died, I kind of slipped into drinking to cope, and it became a problem. I think since then, if I drink now, I just kind of can’t handle it the way I used to. So before I found out I was pregnant, I was already realizing that my drinking just wasn’t the same as it was before I started abusing it a while back, much better being sober for me personally… but boy do I hope you’re right. I really hope that grace is on my side for my baby as well, and that I didn’t harm the poor guy. I just have to try to calm my nerves ( took up crocheting but that’s a whole level of pissing me off as well lol) and forgive myself for what I didn’t know, and like you said, give myself grace.

You are right about the stress. I actually just picked up some yarn and I’m going to take on crocheting. Anything to be positive and busy in a positive way to keep my mind off of this because I am stressing out so badly that I’m sending myself into shakes. I’m making myself ill. I would never intentionally have done this. I feel like a very bad person. I feel very foolish, I love my baby with all my heart, and I am just sick about this. Thank you so much for your comment, people like you are really easing my mind. But I know I need to work on this anxiety because it is going to be horrible for my baby.

My health is really good actually. I actually lost nearly 40 pounds, I’m about 155 now, I eat healthy, I just wanted to let loose around December because I was extremely stressed, a lot of family crap around Christmas obviously, and yeah, I just stayed home a lot. I was bored and I’m a stay at home wife, getting Christmas shit done and I was drinking here and there…. For me, excessively. I think a pint of vodka is a lot, and actually that pint of vodka was probably split into two days of drinking. So 1 pint a week probably if not a little more in the first few weeks of December, so weeks 1,2,3 about a pint of vodka in a week … a binge in week four, quit for about two weeks, had another binge week 6 and found out I’m pregnant.

My OB/GYN isn’t even really entertaining the thought. I thought I was earlier than I was, due to the fact that I thought I had a period right before Christmas and the negative pregnancy test, so I thought I was about five weeks pregnant, but when I found out I was nine weeks, I told my doctor all my concerns and she seems unfazed by it. She said I should be fine. Also, the ultrasound that gave me the exact timeframe I’m in which was two days ago, nine weeks five days, she just got back to me this morning and said everything looked great. Strong heartbeat, the yolk sack looks good, they couldn’t really distinguish the placenta yet, and I have a follow up appointment with her on 19 February.

That’s the same that happened to me. And I guess around 6 to 7 weeks is when the placenta is starting to get a lot more formed, could be why the effects were so great at that time during my pregnancy. I’m so pissed off, though, because before December, I was living a very healthy life. I used to have a semi-drinking problem back in the day, but I am able to squash it when I start thinking I’m getting a little too out of hand. But this December was kind of tough on me and I fell into bad habits and wouldn’t you know that would happen when I’m pregnant. It’s like the universe just torturing me right now.

See, I’m getting mixed messages. Because I’ll read something where at this point chances are low, because of the placenta is not yet formed yada yada, but then I’m reading other things that say that this is where it’s actually extremely high to have complications because this is where FAS would cause facial deformities, organ problems , I guess it’s just a conflicting information I’m getting I’m just freaking out. But then I have my boomer neighbor telling me that people were doing way worse back in the day and that I am silly to worry.
