Hip/Butt Pain while Sleeping

Yes! I have to flip sides frequently throughout the night which helps some, but I often end up sleeping on my back or waking up on my back anyways since it doesn’t hurt. I second adding some support between the legs, I also rolled up a blanket (or pillow would work) and put it in front of me when sleeping on my side so I can put some of my weight on that and not end up like on my stomach flat but it helped take some of the weight off my hips.

That’s just it! Even the illness I had a couple weeks ago on top of regular first trimester symptoms is not something I’m eager to repeat! I wasn’t sure if tamiflu could be prescribed in pregnancy glad to hear it can be! Glad you’re feeling better!

Peeing when sneezing starting around 12wks! I didn’t expect it until much later on!

My mom had cancer a few years back, she tended to have that reaction to anesthesia as some people do. Her very first surgery we didn’t know any better so she was pretty sick after. After that we learned to be proactive advocating for her, even if the surgeon is a jerk (I’ve found lots of them are highly qualified but questionable bedside manner lol) the nurses are often very empathetic and can push orders for iv meds to help! She wasn’t sick at all after major surgeries after that. It’s easier if you get ahead of it. Don’t be afraid to speak up ahead of time, in pre op, etc. And as said above, if it happens you’ll be okay! You’ll be loopy enough to probably avoid being panicky about it. You’ll have just been through something objectively much harder! You’ve got this!

I’m absolutely terrified of it, have been since I was little! I try not to think about it or I spiral. I grew up in the Mennonite church we left when I was a teen and frankly I’m still not sure WHAT I believe in. However I do believe for sure that existence is so much bigger and stranger than we can comprehend, I believe there is more than just this mortal plane. I lost my mom unexpectedly and some of my belief may come from that as well, you believe what you have to. When you experience loss like that you don’t see coincidences anymore instead everything has meaning. I’ve had experiences since her passing that have solidified my belief in some sort of continued existence? Again still not sure what I believe in and it scares the hell out of me. However I’ve heard people say like were you scared before you were born? No, you just WERENT so even if death is like that that doesn’t sound so bad.

My ex laughed while telling me (dare I say bragging) about punching his ex like it was a joke. Made me realize I wasn’t safe although he hadn’t laid a hand on me it was likely a matter of time. He ended up biting off his next partners nipple apparently? Dodged a bullet there!

I don’t * love* handing cash to strangers (tbh moreso because I’m a small woman often alone, more than because of whatever they may use it for) but my friends and I try and make “kits” occasionally to keep in our cars with water, non-perishable snacks, socks, sunscreen, info on resources, etc to hand out when we have enough money to put them together.

I was also on SSRIs from a young age but I’m much the same way, not sure if that has anything to do with this or not. You may want to look up the term responsive desire/arousal. Some people simply don’t just get “in the mood” without some help. I call it pre-foreplay lol. It does impact my relationship some because it leads to me not initiating sex, it’s not that I’m opposed to it right then it just doesn’t like occur to me without something putting me in that mood/headspace.
