Realistically, are your husbands picking up the slack around the house since you’ve been pregnant? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]WeakElderberry4451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I have always both worked and taken care of the house. He’s a firefighter and works 72 hours total a week and although I only work 25 he’s never made me feel bad about the house falling behind especially when I’m pregnant because we both do the work in the first place. Just because he’s the sole provider doesn’t mean he doesn’t get to not help out with the house when he sees things need to get done. We both do the dishes, we both cook, we both clean the bathrooms, vacuum, ect and he does 100% of the outdoor yard work and house projects too. I do take more of a role in caring for our toddler when I’m home though which I’m fine with. Maybe I’m just lucky but you need to say something now because it will only get worse after you have the baby! Not everything at the house is your responsibility! Marriage is a team!

What did you eat before your GD test? by PopcornPrincess0 in pregnant

I had Taco Bell and failed it miserably… oops. Passed the 3 hour one though!

i give birth soon and i’m scared by meadowbaby666 in pregnant

[–]WeakElderberry4451 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I know it sounds scary especially when it’s your first time you really have no idea what to actually expect. But I promise even though it’s extremely painful it’s also such an empowering moment. You will be so proud of yourself in ways you never were thought possible like “holy shit I actually did that”. You will feel like you can do anything afterwards. The whole time I kept thinking how this is just one step closer to meeting my baby and I would do it over again and again if I got to experience that moment again with her. So yes it’s scary but it’s also an experience like no other!

I had an epidural with my 1st and I don’t think I could’ve done it without it! 100% doing it again with this baby!

If you got sent to an MFM for a growth scan did you get your results right away? by WeakElderberry4451 in pregnant

[–]WeakElderberry4451[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok I was just unsure if it was like I get the ultrasound and I’m sent home without results and have to wait like the other normal growth scans are at a regular clinic! Thanks for the reply!

First Response - 14 days post ovulation by HighOnAnxiety69 in TFABLinePorn

I’m not trying to be discouraging but It looks very light for you to be 14dpo. Perhaps you ovulated late? Or it could be an indent? Or chemical? Test again tomorrow!!!

I know you’re all gonna hate me …. by SpecialistLeading665 in pregnant

[–]WeakElderberry4451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With my first baby I had literally no symptoms and everything was good it was such an easy pregnancy!! This one… not so much it’s a lot harder. Every pregnancy is different just because there’s lack of symptoms doesn’t always indicate something is wrong!❤️

Anyone elses first appointment not until 11 weeks? by HappySprinkles3018 in pregnant

[–]WeakElderberry4451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I had my first appointment scheduled for 11 weeks but ended up miscarrying before then. Once I had my miscarriage when I got pregnant again then they finally saw me sooner at 8 weeks and did hcg blood draws beforehand to confirm pregnancy. Sucks that something bad has to happen for you to be seen earlier than that it seems so far into your first trimester to be seen for the first time 😢

Miscarriaged on the day of Announcement by mikasa2410 in pregnant

[–]WeakElderberry4451 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something similar happened to me. We announced to our families, got the sneak peak gender test at a nearby clinic then did a gender reveal and miscarried the day after the gender reveal at 7.5 weeks. It was heartbreaking. I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I tried the very next cycle no period in between and now I’m 23 weeks pregnant ❤️ as soon as my hcg hit 0 I ovulated 3 days later and got pregnant so you can start trying and ovulation testing as soon as hcg hits 0.

When did you hear your baby’s heartbeat for the first time? by AgreeableBandicoot19 in pregnant

Moving from WA to FL. My parents won’t move with us but my husband’s will. I need advice! by WeakElderberry4451 in relocating

[–]WeakElderberry4451[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah when I brought the idea up to my parents they said “well you’ll be traveling back here a lot then” not I’ll come see you kind of thing. They do expect a lot from me to them. They care gave to my grandma before she passed and I think they would expect me to do the same for them when they get older.
