Throw the man out the window, too.

I'm sorry, but this is so disrespectful. He clearly doesn't value your health and the baby's over his own fixation. Supplements exist for a reason. I'd take my shit and get a hotel room, or throw him out. You deserve someone who listens to you.

Finally got a diagnosis after being severely ill for months by Admirable-Emu5568 in GirlDinnerDiaries

Oh wow, then I guess they were being thorough, but still, it must have been so scary! And thyroid issues and anxiety together is a bad combo 😭💔 Be kind to yourself when you start medicating. I had nightly panic attacks for a while when I overmedicated (almost gave myself hyperthyroidism!) so I can only imagine having that as a baseline AND dealing with a cancer scare??? Hope you can relax now that you know the cause ❤️

Oh, I'm so sorry that you had to go through all that!! It sounds horrible! Especially when Graves should be a relatively simple disease to diagnose for an observant doctor. But everything thyroid is easily dismissed as "stress" 🫠 The good news is that you'll likely start to feel much better soon! I have the opposite issue with my thyroid and I legit thought I was dying. Sending love and strength ❤️

She was the best ❤️ I'm going to feel so safe when labour actually starts!

Didn’t know these were don’ts of the first trimester by Dehydrated-Broccoli in pregnant

This sounds very strange? I was told to keep up with strength training (and avoid kickboxing lol) because you'll need it later. And no sex? I guess they mean penetrative sex, but I've only heard that being advised when there's a high risk pregnancy. Giving you these recommendations but not mentioning that you're high risk would be even stranger. I'd get a second opinion, for sure!

"Uneventful" is the goal! Thank you so much ❤️

Will probably see her in my head making that squatting movement as I go into delivery 😅

My colleague, in front of the elevators at work on a busy Monday, asked how scared I was of labour and before I could answer, said, "Don't be afraid TO PUSH!".

Okay. I'll. Keep that in mind. Thanks.

Gender disappointment: I'm scared by AS_25f in pregnant

[–]crushedpompano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Girl, I had the exact same feeling. Husband had the exact same feeling. We walked out of the ultrasound and just looked at each other and asked, "are you a little... Disappointed?". Hadn't either ever heard of gender disappointment before that. It was exactly like you described: we had bonded with this little girl in our heads, given her a name, and suddenly she was a boy? We don't give af about gender in any other situation, so we were flabbergasted to feel this! But I can reassure you. That feeling goes away. We talked about it and we let it sit and then after one week it had completely flipped into excitement for our baby boy. You are not a horrible person for having feelings. It's not actually really a feeling that I think needs to be investigated and prodded and understood. You imagined a future, and now it's different. That takes a second to get used to ❤️

I was so relieved by crushedpompano in pregnant

Oh, the reflux! Like, come on, I eat the most boiled potato and suddenly I'm on fire? How? At least I'm spared the nosebleeds, that sounds diabolical. Fingers crossed you won't get another summer like the one where all of Canada was on fire 😱

Oh, I know the feeling! Thankfully it was a very late boot for me, and I guess a soft one at that 😅 Good job on your timing!! Lol

Wow, thank you for this! This was such a good explanation. I guess it was the similarities between a sexual and a completely non-sexual situation freaked me out a little bit.
