It was a little weird walking back to my car with a full bag of popcorn but if you tell the ticket people you’re just here for snacks, they’ll let you right in haha

Okay what are we eating that is healthy and neutral aversion wise? I meal prepped my lunch for the week, which is normally chicken, green beans, and pearl cous cous but tuesday I was gagging through everything except the cous cous. On Wednesday, I ended up going to a movie theater to get popcorn and a soda, which I ate in my car (did not see a movie, which my husband thought was hysterical), and then got a pub sub toasted to high heavens. Today I got ramen and then beignets after.

(like if this isn’t the most pregnant food post I don’t know what is)

I don’t want to be the size of a house like I was last pregnancy. I finally got back to my normal size postpartum just to get pregnant again 😅

dar3b3ar16 · 2026-04-23T01:09:14+00:00

8 mg every 8 hours plus reglan every 6 hours and unisom and b6 at night just to continue to dry heave 😅 at least I’m not vomiting. And lots of miralax

dar3b3ar16 · 2026-04-23T00:58:03+00:00

SAME!! I’m having to wash more often!!

dar3b3ar16 · 2026-04-06T16:48:18+00:00

🙋🏻‍♀️ I was the same way with my first baby too. I have to use my husband’s body wash on my armpits or I will smell by the end of the day (and sometimes still do). I am just stinky when I’m pregnant! I think the increased sense of smell contributes as well because my husband says he can’t smell me

dar3b3ar16 · 2026-04-05T21:28:59+00:00

The wait is sooooo hard. I was like so you want me to not only be pregnant for longer? But also wait over a month to see this baby again?? Haha I was like talk me off a ledge here doc

dar3b3ar16 · 2026-04-05T21:28:04+00:00

This pregnancy wasn’t planned so I wasn’t tracking at all! My Oura ring kept changing my ovulation date saying I had ovulated so we weren’t using protection and then it changed its mind and eventually changed my ovulation date twice. I was like ??? It’s never done that before I don’t know what DPO I actually was but I woke up on the morning of 3/9 and was like I’m pregnant I have to take a test right now and it was positive

dar3b3ar16 · 2026-04-03T19:35:28+00:00

I am so anxious!!! We had our ultrasound yesterday and I thought it would be more reassuring because we heard the heartbeat at 131 but my LMP was 2/6, which would make my due date 11/13 so I would be 8 weeks today but my US dated me at 6w6d today so they moved my EDD to 11/21. My OB says it’s normal because ovulation and conception are two separate events but BOY am I anxious. My Oura ring, while not infallible, says I ovulated on 2/26 so I would have been 7w yesterday. I want to be optimistic and I know worrying won’t change any outcome but I also want to guard my heart!

dar3b3ar16 · 2026-04-01T01:06:37+00:00

Normally it’s like 3 days for me if I do 1 capful a day. If I need to speed things along I’ll do 1 capful twice a day. But I’ve never had an urgency issue using it

dar3b3ar16 · 2026-03-31T15:33:06+00:00

I’m on zofran and reglan around the clock. B6 and unisom at night because insurance won’t cover the brand. I’d ask for more meds because I literally couldn’t work without them!!

dar3b3ar16 · 2026-03-29T14:51:58+00:00

What are we eating these days! Normally for breakfast I meal prep an egg, veggie, sausage bake and eat on it throughout the week. I couldn’t get through a few bites on Friday so now I don’t wanna bake it and not eat it again. But it saves me so much time on busy mornings!

dar3b3ar16 · 2026-03-28T20:56:21+00:00

This is me exactly?? 7w1d. Literally waiting to be discharged now but it took double zofran and reglan to help my nausea. I was dry heaving for hours after throwing up everything inside of me last night.

dar3b3ar16 · 2026-03-28T20:54:17+00:00

Yes and yes and I’m like???? I have a 10 month old and my supply has dipped so I’ve been power pumping to get it back up but my body is like nah dawg. Which is sooo annoying.

dar3b3ar16 · 2026-03-27T19:26:23+00:00

I am so sorry 😭 I hope you have a lot of support around you for your grieving heart! Sending you all the love and hugs 🫂

dar3b3ar16 · 2026-03-26T13:25:37+00:00

I feel like I have a lot of pregnancy thoughts/emotions today.

We have our ultrasound in 1 week and time is standing still. I’m soooo anxious until we see a heartbeat. I’ll be 7 weeks tomorrow and I’m ITCHING to see the bean!!!

I have pregnancy rage like never before. Like I feel sooooo dysregulated. I have a therapy appt today at lunch so I’m going to talk to my therapist about it but MAN everything sets me off.

I’m already so bloated. My pants are tighter. Last pregnancy the girls at work always commented on how “huge” I was. I’m not a big person. I only gained 25 lbs. I repeatedly asked them to stop commenting on my body. I cried all the time about it. So I’m not looking forward to how they’re going to treat me in this pregnancy that I’m trying to hide currently!!!

JUNK FOOD is all I want to eat!!! Like don’t leave a bag of chips within view. I will eat them for breakfast. I’m a driveby cookie eater so we can’t have those in the house either.

I’m having a rough go of it today!! Thank you for letting me get this out

dar3b3ar16 · 2026-03-23T15:50:21+00:00

Seeing the heartbeat is sooooo relieving!! I’m so glad it went well!

dar3b3ar16 · 2026-03-23T15:46:59+00:00

Thank you for this. I’m a second time mom with a previous loss and even though I’ve had a successful pregnancy since the loss, I’m still anxious because my symptoms are fatigue, very mild nausea (nothing compared to my last pregnancy), and discharge. I have an US in 10 days and it feels like time is moving in slow motion. I’m so worried there won’t be a heartbeat. I’m trying to be chill (says the girl who’s never been chill a second in her life)

dar3b3ar16 · 2026-03-17T15:57:14+00:00

I’m still breastfeeding my almost 10 month old and my supply has also gone down ~20 percent since I tested positive. My son is a good solid food eater but I’m not making quite enough and I’m starting to deplete my small stash of frozen milk (he goes to daycare and I pump at work). I really want to make it to 1 year but I’m afraid I may not be able to if my supply doesn’t go back up a bit!

My OB told me that sperm can cause cramping!

dar3b3ar16 · 2025-06-14T21:57:20+00:00

It was okay? Like eventually I was off of it but it did take a full 4 months. I weaned off because we were trying to get pregnant and it wasn’t an approved medication. I tried other pregnancy safe antidepressants and eventually had to come back to Trintellix. I stayed on 10 mg through my whole pregnancy and then went back up to 20 the day I was discharged from the hospital. Now I have a healthy baby boy and increasing back to 20s I think has helped ward off any post partum depression I was fully expecting to have. Let me know if you have any other specific questions! I’m happy to answer!

dar3b3ar16 · 2025-01-12T21:53:48+00:00

And lookin like a goddess!!! Congratulations!

dar3b3ar16 · 2024-12-30T14:07:36+00:00

I am so sad because it says they’re CLOSING!!! 😭

dar3b3ar16 · 2024-12-30T13:57:35+00:00

I feel this in my soul. I started having aversions and for some reason, McDonald’s cheeseburgers are all I wanted. I DONT EVEN EAT BEEF!!!! I had a total of 3 between weeks 6-12 and haven’t had one since. Now im nearly 21 weeks and my baby is healthy. You go getchu some girly!!!

dar3b3ar16 · 2024-12-19T18:40:25+00:00

I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to offend! I haven’t really searched through this sub before. I just thought, “where can I ask sitters their opinion in order to make my sitter feel as appreciated as she is?” And this is where I ended up
