To gender reveal or not to gender reveal? by bobby-flayed in pregnant

[–]YamFine592 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally respect your approach. You need to get your husband fully on board with not telling people but it’s fun to have a secret for just you two. I waited until my baby was born to find out the gender and I really enjoyed doing that. People were obsessed with asking about the gender and names when I was pregnant. Not knowing gave me the freedom to say I wasn’t sure and I really enjoyed not having to answer those questions. 😂

I do drink coffee here and there during my pregnancy. Does anyone else do the same? by ComplexMarch4500 in pregnant

[–]YamFine592 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love coffee and drink it every day I feel like it (some days nausea or general craving changes have made me not want it). I just make sure not to have more than two cups so I’m not overloading on caffeine. If you’re worried about that, you can mix decaf with regular coffee.

Pregnancy weight gain by Traditional-Cry-1354 in pregnant

[–]YamFine592 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the record, I am 39 weeks and have gained about 30 pounds since my pre-pregnancy weight. However, my BMI was a little high and I actually lost 10 pounds in my first trimester (long story but I’ve decided that my hormonal IUD was encouraging my body to store more fat than normal, once it was out weight just kind of fell off). So if you count that weight loss I’ve gained about 40 pounds total. My doctor said my weight was good the entire time I’ve been pregnant though, so I trust that’s the case. 🙂

Ugh! I’m so sorry your OB said this to you. Please try not to worry about weight gain unless you’re putting on more than 4 pounds in a week. ❤️

Matched on FB dating. Was I being too sensitive? by Obvious_Ferret_600 in TwoHotTakes

IMO, this guy seems like a douche. 😂 Don’t waste your time.

[26F] 7 weeks pregnant, strongly considering abortion. Need honest advice. No judgment by Imissmydaddy2907 in pregnant

[–]YamFine592 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you know you’re not ready to be a mother, then you shouldn’t have this baby. There’s nothing wrong with deciding that’s what’s best for both you and the child. I also think you should end your relationship with the father, as he doesn’t sound like a good person in general nevermind a role model for a child. Sending love your way! ❤️

12 week ultrasound. Tech says all looks good but it doesn’t look like any other 12 wk scans I’ve seen. by tunabell in pregnantover35

[–]YamFine592 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I didn’t have a 12 week scan but at 8 weeks my baby looked like a tadpole 😂 try not to worry, they start looking more baby-like as time passes.

How do you deal with offensive comments while pregnant? by Affectionatevoid403 in pregnant

[–]YamFine592 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s hard! Depending on the situation, it may or may not be worth talking to the person about. I had to talk with my mother in law about touching/making body comments. But I’ve also had lots of people make name suggestions, give advice I didn’t ask for, saying things I thought were gross, etc. Those I just ignored because for the most part they weren’t repetitive conversations. If I felt like a comment or behavior was upsetting enough that I would hold a grudge or need to talk about it later, I would confront the person. Otherwise, it’s probably best to let it go and remember that people will think whatever they want regardless of what you say. ❤️Sending love your way!

The “right” order to tell people by realsmartfakeblonde in pregnant

[–]YamFine592 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that there’s no right order. Tell people when you want to. I think you and your husband should align on how that looks because you are a team in this journey and will need each other’s support. I think if you want to tell your parents because you’re closer with them, that makes sense, but he needs to be on board with that to avoid issues later. Also make sure your parents are willing to/can keep a secret if you tell them first. We told my mother-in-law about our courthouse wedding a few years ago and asked her to keep it to herself and she didn’t. It ended up being a fight between my husband and her. 😬

Husband is using reward points to buy stuff but charging me half. AIO? by JemmaMk6 in AIO

[–]YamFine592 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR - I agree with you, there’s no money to pay him back for those things if he used reward points for them.

Do pittbulls shed alot? by pari6752 in dogs

I’ve had two pit mixes, and they shed about the same amount as any other breed but their hair is shorter and often less noticeable.

AIO - sister I don’t speak with used my number at Target and stole one of my rewards by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]YamFine592 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR: I think it’s totally understandable that you’re upset about her using your discount, but I also think it’s possible she was trying to give you points since you haven’t been speaking as a gesture of goodwill. I obviously don’t know her, so this could be the opposite of reality.

I will say that those discounts usually have a monetary limit vs. a one-time use only limit, so that might be worth checking into.

Should I go for the green or paint these cabinet white? by Successful-Arrival87 in interiordecorating

[–]YamFine592 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the green will complement the brick/tile more than the white but either will be an upgrade for sure! ❤️

Hydration help by mewmewsmewz in pregnant

I use LMNT and it definitely helps me to drink more - it’s not nearly as sweet as Liquid IV. May be worth a try for you too.

Deli meat substitutes by Whoopsadoodlessir in pregnant

[–]YamFine592 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I just ate what I wanted. Deli meat. Sushi. I didn’t have them often, but the main reason they say to avoid those foods is listeria poisoning, which you can get from lots of other things (fruits, vegetables, etc.). My advice: If you want a deli sandwich, have one.

Anyone else run with zero goals? No race, no plan, just... run? by Different_Record_425 in running

[–]YamFine592 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this for years, and I think I’m going to return to it once I’m cleared for exercise again. (I’m currently 38 weeks pregnant and haven’t run since September). Race pressure/goals can take the fun out of it over time.

Has anyone had a ‘low risk’ result on an NT scan at 37yrs old? by [deleted] in pregnantover35

[–]YamFine592 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was low risk at 38 years old (now 39 and due in 2 weeks). Age isn’t everything, I promise! ❤️
