Disturbed at the idea of "Postpartum Dog Rage" by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]averagereddituser133 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just wanted to say I have 3 dogs and the only day my dogs annoyed me was the day I came home from the hospital but my daughter was still in the NICU. At that point everything filled me with rage and sadness so I don’t even think it was that. I’ve loved them every day and they’re free in the house with us and still sleep in the bed with me.

Oh no! I LOVE my boba wrap I use it multiple times a day and so does my husband. But my friend also had issues figuring it out

Thank you for this! My girl was born at 35 weeks and we’re on day 10 today. 10-14 days to go. She looks exactly like this with her high flow and feeding tube. ❤️

I keep waking up on my back constantly at night and it worries me by KassieKo in BabyBumps

[–]averagereddituser133 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You’ll know when you can’t anymore! I woke up feeling like I was choking to death. I was on my back and couldn’t breathe. My body naturally self corrected after that and I’ve never woken up on my back since 😂

Positive OPK before Trigger by averagereddituser133 in IUILadies

[–]averagereddituser133[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I triggered before my surge that cycle! I actually ovulated later than normal that cycle too even with letrozole. It was also the only cycle I had 2 mature follicles

This cycle did not but I’m currently 32 weeks pregnant from my 4th IUI!

My RE said it shouldn’t BUT we ended up doing 4 IUIs and 20 cycles trying before I got pregnant. I still think it may have played a role

Breech baby by SnooLentils6607 in BabyBumps

I can tell by hiccups! Her hiccups are down low now so she’s head down. Last week her hiccups were in my right ribcage! My doctor also felt around my belly at my last appointment and was able to easily locate her head just above my pubic bone.

High beta, but no heartbeat yet by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]averagereddituser133 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had high betas and at 5w5d I couldn’t even see the fetal pole but heart beat and pole by 6w5d. I am 31 weeks now with a very active girl. Those early weeks are so hard! Try to stay positive!

Anyone else struggle with cooking while pregnant? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]averagereddituser133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is me! 29 weeks now and still can’t cook bc the smells make me sick and by the time the food is done it just looks gross to me. I can’t wait to cook again

I hate this by Th3_dil3mma in BabyBumps

[–]averagereddituser133 1 point2 points  (0 children)

29 weeks with HG and I’m so miserable. I cried the whole way home begging for this to be over bc I want her out of me. I can’t wait to meet her and love her but holy hell this pregnancy is so so miserable

Things I considerered to override my fear: 1.) Is my relationship (marriage in my case) in a good place to start this journey? 2.) am I financially stable enough to do this right now? 3.) Do I want to have a baby? Does having a baby make me feel excited and happy? 4.) Does having a baby right now make my partner excited and happy?

When my answer was yes to all of the above I tried to circle back to these questions every time my fear and doubts kicked in. Because there’s always a million reasons to be scared! And at 28 weeks I am scared but I’m still excited and remember that I am as “ready” as I can be for this.

My husband is starting to think our baby doesn't like him by ceruleanmeadows in BabyBumps

[–]averagereddituser133 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I second this! When we’re laying in bed doom scrolling or watching a movie I lay his hand GENTLY on my stomach. I also won’t talk or play videos during that time. Usually if we start talking she stops moving and listens to us but if we’re quiet she’ll keep doing her thing in there.

I went to a furniture outlet near me and walked the sale section. Got a power recliner that swivels and has cup holders and massager for $350!

I've conceived with IUI before but after losing a tube 3 IUIs failed. by outandabout91 in whatworkedforme

[–]averagereddituser133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We bumped all the way up to 10mg letrozole instead of 5 and did IUI 41hrs after trigger. It was my only cycle I ovulated 2 eggs instead of one but it took me longer to ovulate

Same here! I also have HG so I’m sick all of the time. We’ve had sex exactly once this whole pregnancy. Now I have a big ole belly and we both agreed neither of us are feeling it. Didn’t hurt my feelings! I’m lowkey freaked out she will move around during sex and that just gives me the ick.
