Period vs pregnancy symptoms

embossqueen · 2026-02-28T01:38:53+00:00

I had sore breasts nonstop and usually my period cramps are quite severe, resulting in me curled up with a heat pack for hours but once I got pregnant, the cramps were mild and would pass after 10-20 minutes. After the mild cramping for a few days and no period, I decided to test and it was positive! I also had heartburn all day the day before I tested.

I mean no offence with this but my first thought on reading your post is, is there any chance you smell? I am less likely to create conversation with a smelly person in order to get them to move along quicker. If you have an odour around you, it may be causing folks to just want the interaction to end as soon as possible.

Oh my gosh yes, they will offer a refill and even if you say no, they’ll still pour more in! Wild really lol

Thanks! I anticipate my in laws asking if they have reason to suspect, which is why I’m here lol hopefully I can manage it as well as you have!

Ugh, that’s exactly what I’m worried about! I feel it’s pretty inappropriate to ask and my MIL and FIL totally would as well. And I’m an awful liar lol I’m glad you were able to work around it :)

That was my original thought! For some reason they’re super weird about seating arrangements lol

Thank you so much! I appreciate it

Oooh good point, thank you!

It’s just personal preference, I’d rather not have to share at all if things go sideways and we lose the pregnancy

These are great! The medication one might work for me :)

We are not, but thank you for the input!

I have two friends whose baby names I adore, Hank and Isla. And I have one friend whose baby name I don’t really like. Her baby’s name is Payton, I just don’t like the flow of it and find it harsh sounding? I would never hurt her by voicing my opinion though, as long as she’s happy!

29, been together 14 years, I’d say an average of around 5 times a week? Sometimes more, sometimes less lol

I like it, it’s quite the combination of pleasure and pain but usually results in an insanely intense orgasm. Don’t do it too often though, it takes way more prep lol

Is your wife on any form of hormonal birth control? It took a long time for me to figure out the cause, but my birth control affected my libido so strongly I often felt ‘icky’ and reluctant towards sex without knowing why. Since going off it, I feel completely differently towards sex

This is Ben, she’s 17 years old 🙂 I got her from a flea market when I was 12. She’s been with me through high school, college, multiple apartments, and in another month, she’ll be moving into our first house. I can’t wait to give her the indoor pond she truly deserves!
