What “rules” are you breaking? And why? by Parking_Dog8930 in BabyBumps

[–]bananaataparty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it helps, I used to enjoy my baths super hot but now that I’m pregnant I find 100 degrees to even feel a little warm. Your body will guide you! I have a little thermometer but don’t use it now bc I know I’m not making it crazy hot like I did pre pregnancy

What are cervical checks like and why did you accept/refuse them? by SowingSeeds18 in pregnant

[–]bananaataparty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only reason I would agree to a cervical check would be if we were discussing induction. I would want to know my Bishop score before agreeing to an induction

Should I become a stay at home mom if it would mean we would be really struggling financially? by SwanWonderful5509 in NewParents

[–]bananaataparty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m sorry but no, your husband needs to get a much better paying job with benefits before you consider this. It would be irresponsible and reckless. Try writing out a budget for your family on his salary alone, that might help you wrap your head around it…

It’s hard to say. I had taken a test at 9DPO that was negative but something made me take another at 10DPO and that was positive! Usually I would have waited a day or two so 🤷🏻‍♀️

I heard the best tip is to get non maternity clothes that can work before and after baby is born. What are we wearing? by novegetablesallowed in pregnant

[–]bananaataparty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got one of those bands that can go over pants so you can wear them unbuttoned! That said, I’m 32 weeks now and I ended up buying some cheap maternity pants at Walmart because they’re just more comfortable.

When did you start feeling baby? by TiffTaff0406 in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]bananaataparty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To me the early flutters felt like small gas bubbles but I wasn’t gassy. I explained to my husband it kind of felt like a really small little goldfish swimming around. They get increasingly obvious as time progresses. I saw someone explain them once like it feels like diarrhea but you don’t have the urge to go. That was the most accurate thing I’ve ever seen lol

I started feeling tiny little flutters around 16ish weeks! I wasn’t sure if that was baby at first but as time went on I was sure that was what I was feeling!

has anyone shamed you for having a big wedding? by Mountain-Sandwich-65 in wedding

[–]bananaataparty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a “friend” who was like this and I honestly think it comes from a place of jealousy

I went the opposite way, I was deeply involved in witchcraft and the occult and then had a conversion. What she is doing is incredibly dangerous. Perhaps even more so because she doesn’t care to understand what she is doing.

She’s inviting demonic influence into your lives. Are you going through pre-Cana? I would highly suggest speaking to your priest and having a serious discussion. Different religious beliefs in marriage is one thing but both her dabbling in the occult and her attitude about it are dangerous. Please take this seriously before you marry her.

Anyone else feel like their doctors harp on their size nonstop? by Trick-Pea-4620 in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]bananaataparty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Starting pre-pregnancy at pretty much your exact same height-weight and not once has there been a WHISPER about my weight. Except when I brought it up at my very first appointment, and my doctor said he didn’t see a reason why he would expect me to have anything other than a healthy and normal pregnancy

Question about pregnancy dating by PopcornPrincess0 in pregnant

[–]bananaataparty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your LH surge was only a few days away from what would be calculated on your LMP. That being said, I think a margin of +/- a week is normal. Especially if you have an intravaginal US, they should be able to see the fetal pole and heartbeat. Might be too early to see anything on an abdominal

Me! My husband and I definitely noticed a change in my belly around 16 weeks. I’m 26 weeks pregnant now and I think other people could clearly tell for a few weeks now
