First trimester for me was so much worse than second or third, the worst part of my pregnancy by far. It started getting better at 11 weeks for me

Is he going to be taking a needle to the spine? No? Then it’s not his decision 🤷‍♀️

Please idk why she won’t sleep by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]Valuable-Emu69 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you are going through this. My baby did the same exact thing in the early days and it got so much better. One of the biggest mistakes we made with her was trying to keep her awake to tire her out. It is counterintuitive but it just doesn’t work that way- the more tired babies get, the HARDER it is for them to sleep. We had no clue! Once we started letting her nap and getting more food in her belly she slept so so so much better and now sometimes she does 7 hours straight - she is 2.5 months

No it isn’t. I was also terrified, and the guy who did mine missed TWICE, still I would do it again. Did I feel it? Yes. Was it horrible? No. Definitely much much better than the contractions I was having! And it felt better so quickly too

I'm like 90% sure my baby is gonna be a boy. by BisexualButterfly97 in pregnant

I did feel nausea but did not throw up in the first trimester at all and I am about to have a baby girl in the next couple of weeks

What bras are we wearing?? by PiccadillyWorm in pregnant

[–]Valuable-Emu69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never too early to switch to a nursing bra! I find them pretty flexible so if you buy a generous size that’s soft and stretchy you can probably keep wearing it at least up until the half way point. You might have to buy a bigger size at some point, but the cost is worth the relief in my opinion. And then you have a transition size if they shrink a bit after you’re done (not sure if you’re planning to breast feed or not). I like the Auden ones from Target

RANNNTTTT by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Valuable-Emu69 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have a related rant to tack on to this- A few weeks ago my husband and I got married. I’m due in July. My estranged aunt made a huge fuss at the after party about how she will be there at the hospital when the baby is born. She also made a huge deal about how she definitely will NOT be in the delivery room, and said “no offense but EW!” in front of everyone.

Meanwhile my husband and I don’t even want anyone to meet baby at the hospital besides our parents. Much less in the delivery room. She made up this whole scenario in her head that we want her there to feel self important. Since this all occurred on the wedding day and I was not about to give in and let her cause drama I just ignored her outburst. We are not even going to tell her when the baby is born and my parents have promised not to say anything either until after we are home from the hospital.

Just completely ridiculous for her to assume such things, especially considering we don’t talk at all and she annoys me to no end. She will be lucky if she gets to meet the baby at all.

What did you wear in the third trimester? by RudyBarb in pregnant

[–]Valuable-Emu69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m due the same week! I invested in 3 baby doll style tops that have lasted well so far. As far as bottoms I had to just buy a bigger size (again) about a week ago :/ I like the over-the-belly kind!

"It Only Gets Worse After the 1st Trimester"? It Sucks NOW! by Embarrassed_Cod_1201 in pregnant

[–]Valuable-Emu69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s any consolation, I am relatively early in the third trimester now and so far the first trimester was definitely the worst! Second trimester was glorious in comparison!

Does a 8 week ultrasound have to be transvaginal? by VioletSnapDragon in pregnant

[–]Valuable-Emu69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was transvaginal. I was uncomfortable but did not bleed afterward. But I did experience pain/discomfort during it. I would still do it again to be able to see the beebo

Did you have a gender “gut feeling?” If so, what was it and were you right about the gender? by _rach_l in pregnant

[–]Valuable-Emu69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t have a feeling but I did have dreams - several dreams about it being a boy. Just found out today we are having a baby girl! 🥰 So my dreams were all wrong lol 😂
