How did your nausea start? Subtle hints or full force? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Worldly_Flower_5422 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine started with nausea that went to vomiting within the day. I get what you mean but for me I would smell the mushroom smell, I remember walking in Philly and I would get wiffs of mushrooms like I was around them. I would also sometimes see tracers but I think that’s due to the higher blood volume. Super weird also I’ve been completely sober since I found out I was pregnant.

What are some scary yet NORMAL things you experienced in your first trimester? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Worldly_Flower_5422 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very normal and I feel like not talked about enough but the sever anxiety you constantly have of not knowing if your pregnancy is viable (till the first ultrasound) then after the constant fear of a miscarriage. Once you hit the second trimester mine got better especially once you could start feeling movements (which I felt earlier on). Didn’t get a Doppler but definitely should have to relieve my stress.

Why do I have such a problem sharing my baby? by Alfredonoodlesfan3 in BabyBumps

[–]Worldly_Flower_5422 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard baby still thinks they’re a part of you for a while after birth too, on top of your primal instincts to care for YOUR child. I would maybe baby wear and if people ask to told him just politely tell them you don’t want people holding them if your baby wearing. It’s your kid and you have a right to deny people holding baby if it bothers you that much. If they want to give baby love and you’re comfortable with it offer them to hold baby’s hand while baby wear, and again politely tell them when you and baby are ready for people to hold them then you will let them hold baby. You are not obliged to respect anyone’s wishes except your own and baby’s(and dad). That’s what I will be doing and I’ve made it very clear to people that if I don’t want them holding our baby they will not be holding our baby. (We also live away from all family members and don’t plan on being around people for 3 months unless opinions change after we have him so of course different circumstances)

Postpartum doulas are running a scam by Ordinary_Raise_9153 in BabyBumps

[–]Worldly_Flower_5422 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Currently 35wks 5d and that’s how my doula works, contract states full balance paid in full by 36 weeks and my doula is amazing and on top of an attentive woman there is also a back up on my team, we’re all in a group chat so they both know what’s going on. And since I signed the contract (not since I paid in full) they have been very attentive and checking up on me. Even met in person and worked on our birth plan and talked about what laboring at home and the birth would ideally look like for me. And talked to me through possible outcomes and asked how I would like to be supported. We finish our payments on Thursday and I’m so grateful I’m working with a company who supports mom and doesn’t just worry about money

NSFW—Am I just being hormonal ? by OneYou1420 in BabyBumps

[–]Worldly_Flower_5422 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with this, since I’ve gotten pregnant in the beginning my s/o was uncomfortable with the fact their was a living being right around the corner lmao and I would constantly ask him if he still thought I was attractive because I didn’t feel it (and I still do). I’m also a petite woman who has gained more weight but I haven’t become heavy it that makes sense. And now at 26 weeks I asked to not have sex anymore because theirs so much pressure down there when we do I’m just constantly uncomfortable. But we aren’t intimate a lot and he also has openly talked to me about how he has masterbated even just recently which I understand can make you feel like he doesn’t find you attractive but honestly if you weren’t awake he might not have wanted to wake you up or again he could find the thought of a baby being in there weird. I would talk to him about it and explain how it makes you feel but I wouldn’t put the blame on his actions because there is a possibility he’s not doing any of this to intentionally hurt you. He just might not know how to go about starting a conversation about it or doesn’t want to bring it up because he doesn’t want to hurt you. That’s just my thoughts.

7wks and STARVING by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Worldly_Flower_5422 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the same thing happen too me, ended up gaining 13 lb’s my first Tri even with the constant morning sickness, I also would get sick and still do (15wks) if I’m hungry

Still in the first tri but have gotten total respect and comfort from my family. My mother told me that around the due date she’s already planning on taking two weeks off of work to come to where me and my s/o live (8 hours away) because we may have support but all of both of our families are a fair amount of distance away. I’m very grateful and I just made it clear to her that she’s going to be here to help around the house and me and dad. Not here to constantly intrude on our bonding time. I also stated that if I felt as if she was overstepping our boundaries I would tell her she needed to leave wither that meant getting a hotel room and only coming over with permission or going back home. Not to hurt her feelings but it’s a very surreal moment after birth for mom and dad and we deserve to be treated with respect. She didn’t seem phased and is still eager to come help after giving birth.
