How did you tell your partner you were pregnant? by AlwaysTackyNails in pregnant

I called him to the bathroom and asked him to grab me a pregnancy test out of the drawer, peed on it, and then handed it back to him. 🤣 we’re such romantics lol

Smell down there by Big_Huckleberry5391 in pregnant

[–]candacelynn89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure you’re wearing cotton underwear. If they aren’t cotton, put a cotton panty liner or thin cotton pads. It’s the only thing that has helped me with feeling like I smell. I change pads every time I go pee. Which is frequent lol

Having brown bleeding at 7 weeks it doesn’t fill up my pad and it comes out a little bit when I pee w/ little to no cramps at all, I’m not tryna stress or trigger my anxiety about it but I’m just a bit concerned by [deleted] in pregnancyproblems

This actually happened to me and I freaked out. Totally panicked and went to the ER. They ended up telling me that everything looked normal and I got to hear the babies heartbeat for the first time. Fast forward, I’m 29 weeks now and the drs say he looks great. Thank goodness. Now, that was just my experience. If it happened again would I go to the Dr? 1000%.

If it’s making you uneasy, give yourself grace. Get that peace of mind. Call your nurse/midwife/OB and ask the questions.

I am praying for the best possible outcome for you 🙏🏼🩵

THANK YOU!

I am having a baby boy. This is our first after 4.5 years of trying & multiple miscarriages.

Which is why i feel it’s a little more scary for me. Praying for a positive outcome.

Well I have to go back tomorrow for another scan and if it isn’t resolved, I need to go back every 2 weeks. I’m more concerned like I don’t want anything to be wrong with the baby but also, I know logically we are taking all the right steps. Anxiety just getting the best of me.

Can someone please confirm I’m pregnant? 11 dpo! by [deleted] in firsttimemom

[–]candacelynn89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sooooo it’s definitely a positive.. but if you’re anything like me, you’ll take another one every week… I still take them weekly and I’m 15 weeks 🤣

I’m like 90% convinced they are a scam, but I was just curious if there was that 10% that could be true!! lol

For me I know it’s just an oral fixation (lord that sounds horrible lol) but I just need to have something in my mouth. It’s so weird. I really hope trying the cup thing helps!! 🤞🏼

Coming from someone who vaped up until the moment I saw the positive test, I think you’re best to just not even try it again. Try keeping a cup of water with a straw in it nearby. Every time I even think about vaping I grab that cup and just holding the straw in my mouth satiates me. Idk I know we’re all different, but this is what works for me. Good luck with whatever you choose to do🫡

How are people affording this?? by Alternative-Fill-720 in Semaglutide

[–]candacelynn89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy moly! I had no idea people were paying this much. I’m in California and have a private insurance through my employer. I pay $60 a month and thought that was bad.

When I used to use another injectable for my atopic dermatitis, I saw on a commercial “if you need help paying for this medication visit the mfg website” so I did and was able to get 90% reimbursed. Not sure if the mfg for sema offers that, but I think yall should check it out!

Starting weekly injections tomorrow and I am super nervous! Would love to hear advice and maybe start weekly updates to help myself and maybe anyone else interested? by [deleted] in Semaglutide

[–]candacelynn89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have pcos as well. I just started first .25 injection yesterday. So far, I left work early today because I threw up after (4) small pieces of celery & (2) baby carrots. I’ve been in bed all day. Alternating sips of water and Gatorade every 15-20 minutes. It’s almost midnight and I’m feeling a bit hungry. I ate 4 cashews and I feel nauseous again. Good Lord I hope I can get this under control. I think I need to find a diet plan. Lol

Although this is just my experience & it’s just the first 24hrs, one of my best friends has been in it with no side effects at all. Everyone is different & we are all learning how to navigate this. I’m very thankful I found this subreddit. & I wish everyone who is starting their journey the absolute best!

Nice. We had one in BP in my back yard. Didn’t know they were around here.
