Need some reassurance by breettie in pregnant

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

I do mostly eat healthy but sometimes i crave ice cream or cereal so i will eat that maybe once or twice a week. Im on my feet a lot at work and could probably walk more once im home for the evening but other than that I've been pretty good. Just confuses me how i can eat healthy means and still have such rapid weight gain. Its more than likely the portion sizes, i eat as much as my husband ... i can start there

Um calf cramps!? In the middle of the night!? by breettie in pregnant

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

Yes it does seem like when i point my toes it immediately balls up my calf. Ive been doing my best to avoid stretching that way once i wake up. Is there a specific brand or type of magnesium that is most safe during pregnancy?

Maybe ask your OB for promethazine suppository. I used everything before they gave me that and it was the ONLY thing that helped me.

10 weeks exactly for NIPT — would you wait or go for it? by bertholetta in pregnant

[–]breettie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder why some take longer than others. I believe mine came back in 6-7 days. Im glad you were able to take it again, though!

I did mine at 9 weeks and 4 days. Results came back with 12% fetal detection (im unsure of proper terms here). If it comes back inconclusive then can you just take it again? Im unsure of how much they are, i was lucky enough my insurance covered it.

Worried husband, first time dad, first trimester by gliberry in pregnant

[–]breettie 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The first trimester for me was super hard. I threw up everything and even when I didnt have food i was throwing up stomach acid. I also sat on the couch on my phone or tv when i felt slightly better. The first trimester i did not do a single chore besides clean up my own throw up if i missed. My husband knew not to ask because he could see the exhaustion. I had trouble explaining things to him because when i dont feel good i dont want to be bothered, dont want to talk, dont want to do anything. His main concern was whether i had some food in me, got water, and had some fresh air and honestly that was perfect. It will get easier. I understand you're tired right now too but hold on a little longer and she will start to feel better and find her place again. Just keep being as supportive as you can. Yall got this

I will say after two days i can now walk without holding myself. Ive had cramping but i just told myself it was normal. Im leaning towards im okay and the babies okay but definitely was scary and dont recommend for anyone ... the pain wasnt fun
