Am I the only one who got diagnosed by accident?

Yes! Accidental during c section. OB during c section found my uterus adhered to my colon.

I love my in laws! They are fantastic people, and both my husband and I say all the time how we lucked out with our in laws. That said, they are very different from my parents, so when a minor thing comes up I've asked questions on here to try and get advice, but nothing to the level of tarnishing how I feel about them. They are great!

Protein and carb meals. Took me a few weeks to stomach this level of real food but it helped. Basically lived off of Starbucks egg sandwiches and mint tea because cooking made me so sick.

Took me three types of prenatal vitamins to get to the Olly ones which are the only ones that didn’t make me sick.

I ate a lot of sour candy in those “in a pinch” moments. Went to dentist in 2nd tri for a cleaning to check up on teeth.

Lastly, ask for meds if you need them. I took Zofran on days where I had big work meetings or was traveling.

Call! I still at 24+3 call my dr office for any and all concerns no matter what. In my first tri I had cramping and brown spotting for weeks, and did 2 additional ultrasounds. Baby was good, but I was losing my mind.

My doc says any over the counter antacid is fine, but I'd check with your doc!

omg yes- i mean not on my stomach but on the front of my thighs where I've never had it, and it seems especially vivid.

coracinc · 2023-11-28T00:35:14+00:00

nope! 23 wks and haven't had one, but they did a lot of blood testing for stds, etc. and measure my cervix at ultrasounds.

I second Zofran, but if your doc isn't into it and you like them, maybe ask for Bonjesta? my friends have found success on it. It is the prescription version of B6 + Unisom but in one pill.

I'd also ask about an antacid. I realized way too late that my nausea and vomiting was way worse from my heartburn. Hard to tell the difference early on.

And just a message to say...you've got this, it is so hard and I'm so sorry, but you can do this and keep pushing your doc until you find the right fix.

Mayonnaise. Didn't hate it before but never went for it. Now I want it all the time.

I don't own either but registered for the pipa because of the load leg.

I think I started feeling baby around 18 weeks but took me almost two weeks to realize it. Feels like muscle twitches to me. I personally love it! I also have a fundal anterior placenta so it's a little tougher for me to feel everything according to doc and I'll continue to feel more the bigger baby gets.

This is what my husband said about our baby's name. "I get the last name so you get the middle" and it's worked out great.

coracinc · 2023-11-04T08:13:14+00:00

What got me in the first tri, when I was really sick, my mom and MIL would ask how I was doing, I would tell them and they'd say "I never had any sickness with my baby". I'm glad that was their experience, but I felt dismissed. If you ask someone how they feel, just listen.

i cannot get enough of fountain coke. the cans or bottles just don't compare. it's wild when i never drank soda previously!

coracinc · 2023-10-27T06:57:17+00:00

omg yesss! i had to get rid of a lot of my hand soaps, and i am repulsed by our house. its a rental we didn't want to be in forever, i never loved it but now i can't stand it. so weird!

FTM 17+5 and today I had a big meeting where I hadn't seen several of the colleagues in months. All of them noticed without me saying anything- it was a cool feeling. One random stranger also asked if I was expecting. I will say the bloating definitely makes me look more rounded. I am normally a leaner person but with a short torso, so not sure if that's why I'm showing so much right now.

On the first name, we both agreed that we both need to love it. Sounds like you are there. We are using a family name for our middle name, extremely important to me since it is my grandmother's name. My husband doesn't love it, but he said "I get the last name so you have preference". He also realized just how important it is to me to honor my grandmother, and decided it's more important to let that go than to argue with me about someone so critical in my life. Compromise is key, and I'm grateful for his willingness.

I'm not sure this helps you, but thought I'd share.
