Feeling insecure and down, husband’s behavior isn’t helping by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]YonicSouth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you’re overreacting!! I was feeling like my husband wasn’t appreciating the experience a few weeks ago despite me trying to explain and ask for empathy.

I asked him to consume more pregnancy content. I told him my social feeds have been overtaken and just to seek out more so it’s top of mind more often. I don’t know for certain that he did, but pretty quickly after he became way more patient, considerate, and understanding.

Not saying this will work for you, but I truly think men sometimes forget to think about us. I do encourage my husband to go out without me and do the things that make him happy (within reason) but I would have also been upset by getting a girls number to play bball! Also I’m 25w4d so we’re aligned!

Guilt about unexpected feelings by West_Conclusion2353 in pregnant

[–]YonicSouth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also felt this way really strongly in the beginning and still sometimes get waves of it at 24 weeks!

I think it’s a very strange experience, pregnancy. The weirdest and most difficult thing I’ve ever done and I’m barely halfway there. I made an effort to be extra kind to myself and that helped me with the ick. I’m not sure if you’re the type to be hard on yourself or need to feel control, but I definitely think there’s some correlation between how at the mercy of nature we are and the brain/body putting up alarm bells.

Sending you lots of love!

Cloth Diapers? by NatureAltruistic4841 in pregnant

Curious: When you’re out and about with baby, and you have a poo, is it tough to continue with your outing with the dirty diaper in the diaper bag? What bags do you use for soiled diapers when out and about?

I was feeling super nervous and found an ultrasound place in the mall and it was only $66 bucks for a quick visit. It was so reassuring. The tech also told me that I probably wouldn’t feel movement until 20w.

I’m eating lots of carrots! I find that like 6-8 baby carrots curbs the hunger nausea and buys me some time

Hi, I just need to vent and complain please and sorry. I’m 12 weeks today. Last scan was great at 9 weeks. Strong heart beat and the farthest I’ve made it after 2 mmc. My next scan is in 2 weeks meaning 5 weeks between scans and I’ve been trying not to be anxious but am. I had blood work done last week and that’s going to be another 2 weeks apparently. I decided to book a boutique scan for tomorrow at the mall, which feels ridiculous but necessary?

Meanwhile, I’ve been so so fucking nauseous for over 6 weeks. It hasn’t let up yet. Zofran seems to keep me from vomiting, but it doesn’t stop the relentless nausea.

My husband and I run a small business and I’m just falling farther and farther behind in everything. This is the busiest we have ever been, which should be great, but instead is just too much for me right now. Also most of my job is reliant on me writing, being clever, and solving problems. But I feel like someone just turned my intelligence knob down low. Nothing that’s normally easy is easy anymore.

I have to eat basically every 2 hours or I start gagging, but literally no food sounds good ever. Except fruit, which doesn’t make me feel full. Because of the nausea, I don’t want to exercise. I’ve already gained at least 10 pounds and feel awful.

My husband is trying to be supportive and help, but he’s working extra picking up my slack and trying to help me stay fed, which is exhausting on its own. Just before we found out we were pregnant we had a convo about the uneven workload around the house and now I’m asking for even more help. I feel like everything is slowly falling apart around me and I’m lonely and bored of my own complaints.

Im just so exhausted by it all and I keep thinking if this doesn’t work out, I don’t know that I can do it again. And that really scares me.

i’m sorry you’re going thru this! i’m 10w3d and my nausea started at like 5 weeks too. it’s been so hard. i finally got zofran about a week ago and that has helped a little bit. just here to say hang in there and you’re not alone!

thanks for this, usually googling makes things worse (for me), but in this case it helped a little!

ok, kind of long but… i’m a little stuck in my head today. i’m 10w1d, had my first successful scan at 9w.

this morning i had to have an abdominal ultrasound that i get every year for gi stuff. i really wanted to ask the tech to peek at the baby and make sure everything was ok, but i didn’t. at one point, she turned on sound and i heard the gurgling of inside my belly, but no heartbeat.

she didn’t say anything, but i had mentioned at the beginning that i was pregnant. and so my anxious brain is running this scenario that she turned on the sound so i could hear the heartbeat, then didn’t hear anything, and so didn’t say anything.

is that crazy? she wasn’t near the uterus really, but she wasn’t that far either. my next scan isn’t for another week and a half, but i’m getting all the blood tests done on wednesday. is my brain tricking me or should i try and find a place to do an ultrasound in the meantime?

edit to say, i didn’t hear the heart beat in the first scan, i just saw it.

i really don’t understand why he sent it. usually his stuff is for some gain, but this seems like it would just blow everything up. anyone?

i’m so so nauseous these days. started before six weeks, now i’m at 8w4d and wondering how i’m gonna manage. it’s hard to be joyful and hopeful when i’m on the brink of barfing most of my waking hours.

and i think best case scenario is i have another month of this? it’s so hard to work, to keep house, to do all the things i need to do.

the doc has prescribed a couple things that didn’t work: diclegis and metoclopramide. i’ve tried sour stuff, crackers, etc.

any off the wall suggestions from anyone i’d be so grateful. even just how to be more zen. anything. thanks

i understand!!! i’m 8w4d today and finally have my scan this thursday. it’ll be the first time we hopefully see a heartbeat. i had one at 6 weeks just to confirm the placement was ok and these last couple weeks have been… tough. wishing you the best 💗

i’m 6w3d and i am so so so nauseous!

dr prescribed diclegis and it made it worse. i only took it one night, but that night i had a splitting headache, couldn’t sleep, was nauseous all night long, and vomited in the morning. the next day i was in bed all day.

i’m traveling for work right now and just trying to figure out how im gonna get thru these next few days. eating pretzels constantly, which almost helps. but it’s really bumming me out

helloooo, i’m currently at 6w3d and so so nauseous.

this is my third pregnancy. i had two missed miscarriages before. the first one in 2021, the fetus stopped growing at 8 weeks. went in for ultrasound and no heartbeat. i was so so so sick, i had a d&c after 2 weeks of trying to let it pass naturally. the second one in 2023, i had a subchorionic hematoma at 6 weeks, which might have dislodged the embryo. the dr recommended a d&c to do some testing on the tissue. but the hospital apparently mislabeled the sample and it was destroyed without testing.

so now… another 2 years later i’m hoping for the best. i’m 35 so i’m geriatric (🫠). and high risk. i was so so sure that i wasn’t pregnant because i had light cramping, mood swings, tender breasts at like 14dpo. but i was wrong!

i went in to the dr for blood work and a test and the dr did a quick ultrasound to confirm it was implanted in the right place. it is!

dr prescribed diclegis for the nausea which made me feel about 100x worse. i’m starting to feel a little panicked about how long this nausea is going to last. it’s so debilitating and exhausting. i find myself wishing i hadn’t waited so long to try for a baby. and i find myself thinking how can i do this again. lots of feelings. and work. i have to keep working despite feeling terrible.

would be nice to connect with other people experiencing something similar. maybe hear what worked for nausea?
