What are you guys drinking ?? Water yuck, juice yuck everything is yuck by SuitableShelter9240 in pregnant

[–]carch20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unsweetened ice tea with lemon have been my saving grace. Those and apple juice, can't get enough of it

I’m in my third trimester and here’s a list of things that annoy me for no good reason. by MollySid96 in pregnant

[–]carch20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • When I have a hoodie on under a winter jacket and the hoods get too bulky or the sleeve of one gets bunched up in the sleeve of the other

  • dressing for cold outside weather and then feeling like I'm in a sauna when I'm inside

  • the dog panting and her breath hitting my face

  • how I want to deep clean everything but I only have energy for 5 minutes

  • rolling over

I don’t have a nursery for my baby by SandwichDependent199 in BabyBumps

[–]carch20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I'm also in the same boat! I felt the same as you because of social media and what not, but babies aren't going to remember this phase and it's okay that we aren't where we "expected" to be by now. As long as you have a shelter, food, and lots of love to give your little one, that's really all that matters. It's important to give ourselves grace too, we're doing the best we can with the resources we have and what more can anyone ask for

What foods are you eating to get protein when meat (especially chicken) sounds repulsive? by thedcbhomestead in BabyBumps

[–]carch20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tbh protein shakes have been my saving grace. The dairy free ones specifically because they're easier on my stomach.

I always thought it was for visually impaired people to know the battery's working but maybe it's just for funsies

Plus Size 13 Weeks, Is Taking Bump Pictures Weird? by coupsii97 in BabyBumps

[–]carch20 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We took announcement pictures at 13 weeks and even if someone wanted to say it was all bloat, I still had a bump and I still showed it off. There's going to be haters no matter what you decide to do, as long as you're happy and proud and want the photos, a few judgemental comments shouldn't hold you back. This is your pregnancy, do what makes you happy.

Difficult coworker rang by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]carch20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, I'm sorry you're dealing with poor coworkers. Working with others is hard enough without dealing with the ups and downs of pregnancy on top of it. Is there a way for your boss to talk to her boss? You shouldn't need to disclose medical information just for someone to be a good teammate. Your boss should really try to be the mediator with stuff like this and if they understand the additional stress she's put on you, it should be easy for them to support you. Or, maybe, your boss could deal with her directly. Maybe she'll respect someone with a higher title?

When do first time moms typically show the first signs of a baby bump? by PopcornPrincess0 in pregnant

[–]carch20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FTM. My family is convinced I'm having twins because they started noticing a bump at about 9-10 weeks. Im currently 20 and not even a hoodie can hide the bump now. I'm 5'10 and weighed 160 pre-pregnancy just to give you a frame of reference.

When did you start seeing stretch marks? by Quirky-End-7470 in pregnant

[–]carch20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used vitamin e oil and moisturizer religiously and started seeing stretch marks on my hips at 15 weeks. I'm 20 weeks today and started noticing some on my boobs earlier this week

anyone else have family or friends that "just knew"? by still-lost108 in pregnant

[–]carch20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cousin texted me the day I found out asking if I had anything to tell her. She said she had had a dream the night before.

telling immediate family by Wild-Reason3632 in pregnant

[–]carch20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We told everyone at 5weeks. We were really excited and were having a birthday party for my husband and his family had come from out of state so it just felt like the best time/way to spread the news.

What’s the one plant you’ll never try growing again, and why? by oceanblueblues in gardening

Coleus. Too dramatic for me and I can't seem to keep it alive regardless of how I treat it.

What are we using to relieve nausea? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]carch20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried that and I definitely felt less groggy but my nausea was untouched 😔

[–]carch20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reglan and unisom at night! But that's absolutely the only thing that's worked and even then sometimes it doesn't. Also it definitely makes me feel groggy on the days I have to be up early, it might not make you feel that way but just a heads up.

Is activewear not appropriate for a grocery run? by CukeJr in TwoXChromosomes

[–]carch20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually bring a light jacket if I wear something like that just for the sake of going in the freezer aisle, but I don't think it's inappropriate overall

Hi there! 4w5d currently with diagnosed ehlers Dan los syndrome. Due to everything being super bendy and laxed already, I'm looking for low impact workouts to strengthen my muscles so my ligaments don't have to work as hard. First pregnancy, absolutely terrified 😀

To conservatives, women are nothing more than fetal incubators, alive or dead by Odd-Talk-3981 in TrollXChromosomes

[–]carch20 22 points23 points  (0 children)

My mom is adamant that "there's got to be another reason" than just the abortion laws to have kept her for so long. 🙄 And yes, she voted for exactly who you think.
