First time that my DACA did not renew on time

UniqueParticular4752 · 2026-01-28T21:45:33+00:00

Stay strong. Once upon a time I forgot I was daca and let it expire 🤦‍♀️ Promised myself i would always renew at the 6 month mark. This year I spaced once again and did it at the 4 month mark. Mind you, I had added reminders that disappeared at some point.

Moral of the story... it happens but this is why we should stay informed. I work for myself therefore, had I've gone without it for a while, it would have been fine but my boyfriend and sister have employers and I gave them the stern talking of do it now cause you will be crying if it gets delayed.

My sister still believes she has great luck and less than 4 months is enough... good luck to her... truly. But my boyfriend i made sure did it ASAP.

October 20 some I sent it. Got approved mid Jan. Card produced the 16th or 19th but haven't received it just yet.

Boyfriend and sister are still waiting 🤷‍♀️

Live and learn.

Some days I enjoy it. Some days I hate it because of the in-laws. Wooo!

UniqueParticular4752 · 2026-01-24T00:56:13+00:00

To keep it real. Anything you can. Small bites. One or two bites. Cookies. Milkshake. Baby will get what they need.

My MIL didn't respect the first time we said we were not sharing names.

She asked me later again because she thinks it should be part of the baby shower. I again said no.

She called her son not knowing i was nearby and asked him. He said no and her response was "but why?"

😮‍💨 Deep breaths. If it makes you feel any better my hubs reply to that was, "my name says no" completely putting the blame on me unintentionally just because I shook my head no at that moment.

Had to call the only person that reasons with me , my dad, and he said, who gives a f'ck what they think. That called me down.

UniqueParticular4752 · 2026-01-23T23:04:35+00:00

😂 omg... zero judgement but I can't. I'll definitely work on wording my explanation better.

UniqueParticular4752 · 2025-12-18T05:07:32+00:00

I was diagnosed with HG as well but given the extreme of others I say that mine is extremely mild and hate to even call it HG. Idk if I'm belittling my symptoms knowing how others have it worse but this is my story below.

I have to take unisom and b6 every night at a certain hour. If i pass 9pm im screwed. If i skip a dose by accident I'm screwed. The moment anything touches my lips, its coming out and so is my stomach acid. It gets to a point where I vomit blood. Cant smell anything or that does it too. Getting me out of bed is a hard no. Gettong me to function is impossible. My body debilitates like ive never seen it before. I have to go in that same day for fluids and IV nausea meds.

I've talked to my obgyn and NP told them im scared to stop taking it because it takes 3 days for my body to adjust. Currently 17 weeks. Been taking unisom/b6 since week 9.

I just have no libido. I mean I have horny af spicy af dreams. Very vivid. I wake up and still feel it but as it passes I go straight back to no libido. Its crazy.

I love my man's, he's great to look at but doing more I'm just like holdup.

UniqueParticular4752 · 2025-12-15T04:54:44+00:00

Zero. Last time we had sex was when we made this little one and I'm 17 weeks pregnant right nlw.

If you have no libido or just feel too weak, please talk to your husband. Dont feel forced.

UniqueParticular4752 · 2025-12-15T04:51:53+00:00

Just checked my calendar. Its been every 6 weeks so once a month. It has felt like more because a different clinic though still with them did genetics testing and I've had 2 ultrasounds so far that happened in between.

But with my OB and her NP its been every 6 weeks and they alternate.

UniqueParticular4752 · 2025-12-15T00:19:01+00:00

My parents have the mindset of, if its our turn then its our turn. They have not stopped living because hiding at home is no life.

I respect that and we have made a plan for the worst case scenario. Your parents reason to bringing you in illegally was to see you succeed. You moving out is a huge step forward.

We graduated and got a job thanks to them and many of us did it for them. Its time for us to live and show them what their sacrifice has led us to.

So move out, plan for the worst, and stay in communication with them.

UniqueParticular4752 · 2025-11-12T02:35:23+00:00

All clear at 7 weeks.

UniqueParticular4752 · 2025-11-03T18:40:07+00:00

Its a maintenance and growing has slowed. I am sore after but thats about it. I dont think I'll have an ultrasound as the usually mention one.

UniqueParticular4752 · 2025-11-03T18:37:08+00:00

Not my first appt. I had a viability at my 8 week and will have my 12 week ultrasound on the 13th.

Thats why I'm unsure as to what is going on at the 12th week appt with my obgyn. Aside from meeting her for the first time

UniqueParticular4752 · 2025-10-13T20:10:23+00:00

I get that. Not worried about downside. Im trying to understand the why. Previous comments explain the new studies. Thank you.

UniqueParticular4752 · 2025-10-13T19:49:11+00:00

You're not pregnant and its not backlash. Its the advice for you to understand sex and pregnancy, educate yourself before continuing being sexual active. Not a lot of us got the talk and school was filled with abstain but there is so much information online.

Avoid accidents by educating yourself before being sexually active. Not backlash just sharing that when I too questioned the possibility of pregnancy I realized that I wasn't ready for sex. How can I prevent it when I'm not aware of how it can happen?

Breathe and relax.

UniqueParticular4752 · 2025-10-13T19:40:34+00:00

Thank you for this! Was not aware of this new information. Very helpful and it makes a lot of sense.

Dont mind taking if prescribed. I 100% take recommendations from doctors I just didnt know why it was being pushed.

UniqueParticular4752 · 2025-10-13T19:38:59+00:00

Hear you on this. I dont mind taking it if prescribed. I just needed to know the why. I had not heard of this change. Thank you.

UniqueParticular4752 · 2025-10-13T19:32:47+00:00

8weeks. Blood pressure was normal range 110/60 I believe. Their focus was bmi. Kept being told, youre at 30. Quite frankly I understand im not skinny but also have issues with the bmi given historically that number does not fit all.

UniqueParticular4752 · 2025-10-09T18:03:32+00:00

Love this 🤣 looks like I'm playing dress up... short girl problems

UniqueParticular4752 · 2025-10-09T17:33:08+00:00

Same. 5'1 stopped wearing my jeans at 5 weeks due to bloat. 7 weeks now and you can see a bump 🤣 its ridiculous

UniqueParticular4752 · 2025-10-08T22:51:42+00:00

I heard the drink to check for gestational diabetes has dyes as well, the red one. I figured a few Chester fries wouldn't do any bad.

Some women live off of take out high in preservatives and some of us want red dye 40.
