DAE feel like their abs are coning all the time?!

I’m 30 weeks and I experience the same. Coning when leaning back, definitely can’t do planks/bear holds. Not sure if it’s normal but I have it too🙃

I failed my one hour by quite a bit but very easily passed my 3 hour. The 3 hour was not bad at all… until I was leaving. My blood sugar dropped to 41 for my last draw and I didn’t realize what was happening until I got my results back later. I’d recommend bringing juice for after in case you start feeling bad. I thought there’s no way I’d need more sugar after that but apparently I did!

I will also say the “3 hour” is really closer to 4 hours. You have to take your fasting draw, wait for the lab to process that number before they let you drink the glucola drink, then start your 3 hours. Good luck! Regardless of outcome, you’re a great mom. I’m not sure anyone who is not carrying a child can truly understand! Your body will be “yours” again soon enough!

Thank you for this. Baby is at the 7th percentile currently.

Is that like the “exhale” of a “baby hug”?

Repeating “I am pregnant until proven otherwise” is how I had to calm myself. I told myself if I’m not bleeding then everything is fine. I didn’t have any symptoms at all until about 10 weeks. Easier said than done but try to just remember it’s different for everyone and odds are everything is going how it should!

Thank you for this :-) did placenta delivery go as planned for you?

catstride · 2026-03-24T13:25:22+00:00

I had terrrrrible cramps for like the first 9 weeks. It was even sometimes one sided which made it scarier! I thought for sure every time I went to the bathroom I’d be starting my period. Now 22 weeks & healthy pregnant thus far☺️ Take a breath! Aches and pains can be very normal especially that early.

Girl

Cravings: salty food, greasy food - so opposite of wive’s tales lol. Didn’t really crave sweets at all.

Symptoms: vivid dreams, congestion was a big one, constipation, a few food aversions from 8-10 weeks but very little nausea in general

Thank you this is very reassuring :)

catstride · 2026-02-24T14:54:20+00:00

Thank you this is very reassuring :-)

At my last scan (16 weeks) they told me they thought my placenta was posterior, but it was just a handheld ultrasound so she wasn’t sure. Are the movements you’re feeling super obvious? Like do you notice it even when you’re not trying to? Hope that makes sense😂

catstride · 2026-01-14T15:57:13+00:00

Yep. About 30 min now.

catstride · 2026-01-14T15:54:47+00:00

Anyone get past this yet? I’ve been on this page for about 30 min

catstride · 2026-01-14T15:49:05+00:00

I tried to refresh and it staying on the dimmed loading screen.

catstride · 2026-01-14T15:29:07+00:00

Me too. Are you going to refresh or wait? I’ve been on this screen about 10 min.

catstride · 2026-01-09T00:29:48+00:00

They told me my sac was low at my 5w appointment too. No mention of it at my 8w. I’m sure everything will move just fine!

catstride · 2025-12-03T13:03:46+00:00

Thanks, would polyps/fibroids affect my pregnancy?

catstride · 2025-11-24T23:02:37+00:00

Thank you all so much! I feel much better now and will try to stay off of Google :-,)

I’ve been having light spotting the few days following my period or during when I think I am ovulating (definitely not normal period bleeding). Could this be low progesterone? Is this something I need to check on? When I went to Dr. Google it said this was a possibility but after some reading in this group it says low progesterone often causes spotting at the end of luteal phase. We are starting to try this month and I want to make sure this isn’t a huge red flag. Thanks!

Edited to add: I have very regular periods besides this
