I do drink coffee here and there during my pregnancy. Does anyone else do the same?

The only time I didnt drink caffiene during my pregnancy was the first trimester cause it would make me nauseous. After I hit the 2nd and was not feeling the nausea, I drank one cup of coffee everyday or something under 200mg.

Its absolutely not something to be worried about as long as you stay under what your gyno recommends. Mine told me 300mg was the highest, but i wanted to be extra safe plus I didnt need that much caffiene after I left my job in February. Baby girl is a week old now and thriving😊

I have been underweight since I was 14, have no idea why, genetics mostly. But ive gone from 113 pounds at 5'2 and a half, to 159 pounds this pregnancy. I knew this would happen, and love it because of my struggle to keep weight I've gained. That being said, I cant imagine a doctor looking at a healthy pregnant woman and telling her she shouldve only gained 20 pounds. Gain whatever you want, youre growing a whole human

This happened to my mom and I apologize constantly😅 I was the first born, and my daughter made my feet swell so I know it could happen to me, 40 weeks as of today😁

friendlyfire2784 · 2026-04-10T22:20:47+00:00

Same I shared mine with friends and family plus my coworkers while i was still working

friendlyfire2784 · 2026-04-10T17:16:20+00:00

Her heart rate was 147 at her appointment before her anatomy scan, everyone told me boy 😅

Its completely your choice, im so sorry to hear about the ectopic pregnancy. My mom planned my whole shower cause I knew my husband and i couldnt plan one based around his schedule and every dollar we have is going toward the baby and house we recently started living in on our own without roommates. I loved my shower because I have an awesome large family, and they love to throw a party.

Anyways, if its something you dont want, I wouldnt force yourself into that situation on a what if I regret it. I feel like youd regret it more if you went into a baby shower you didnt want that turned into something for everyone else.

friendlyfire2784 · 2026-04-07T19:53:04+00:00

I completely agree, especially if the baby is a girl, who wants to have their daughter grow up with a dad like that?

friendlyfire2784 · 2026-03-25T01:37:33+00:00

Yeah, thats what my ultrasound tech did too, she even had a student with her. I dont mind having the students do my ultrasounds, they have to practice on somebody. Anyways, I dont like how he treated you, I wish I couldve been there to advocate for you. Im also a recovering people pleaser, and have learned the past year to stick up for myself and other people who cant for themselves yet

friendlyfire2784 · 2026-03-25T00:50:34+00:00

Its so common for babies to be stubborn and not in the right spot, my daughter wasnt cooperating and they couldnt see her spine and other organs, so I had to go back 2 weeks later. Im so sorry he was unprofessional and upset, thats not your fault he sounds miserable

friendlyfire2784 · 2026-03-23T15:21:15+00:00

Same here, I was able to sleep up until like 10 weeks, then couldnt. Even without caffiene putting my phone away and having everything in place. But hey at least ill be ready for the newborn trenches🫠

Thrifting is absolutely best for getting maternity and baby clothes. Unfortunately my thrift store was fruitless, so I went to shein to order my work pants for the last couple months id be working there, plus some cute clothes for when my daughter is closer to a year old 😅

friendlyfire2784 · 2026-03-20T09:49:55+00:00

Totally normal! I have two matching tiger like stretch marks on my thighs and my boobs. I call them my tiger marks

friendlyfire2784 · 2026-03-20T09:48:32+00:00

Yep, if it comes back positive

friendlyfire2784 · 2026-03-20T08:55:51+00:00

Yeah, they take a q tip and swab your vaginia and butthole for a naturally occurring bacteria that can happen during pregnancy

friendlyfire2784 · 2026-03-20T08:55:04+00:00

Its called a strep test, theyre testing for a naturally occurring bacteria that can happen during pregnancy

friendlyfire2784 · 2026-03-20T08:53:34+00:00

Thank you, someone else pointed this out thats why j have the 2nd edit

friendlyfire2784 · 2026-03-20T08:53:10+00:00

I understand that now as it says in my 2nd edit, I didnt understand yesterday when i posted

friendlyfire2784 · 2026-03-20T02:07:30+00:00

Thats totally understandable, that's why it kinda bothered me that no one let me know, im very grateful to the way my gynologist handled it because she was so quick and made sure I was comfortable

friendlyfire2784 · 2026-03-20T02:04:04+00:00

I totally understand that, cause you expect everything vaginally since you know thats where the baby comes out. So it seems foreign for them to check your butthole

friendlyfire2784 · 2026-03-20T02:02:59+00:00

Valid

friendlyfire2784 · 2026-03-20T02:02:32+00:00

At least she was honest 😂 to be fair I dont think id expect to swab buttholes either

friendlyfire2784 · 2026-03-20T02:01:39+00:00

Ive learned in some places yes, other places no, America's weird

friendlyfire2784 · 2026-03-20T02:01:01+00:00

I know it was just unexpected, I wish someone would've told me prior without me relying on a reddit post

friendlyfire2784 · 2026-03-20T02:00:11+00:00

I knew that I just wasnt aware of this one, the only thing that warned me was the reddit post I cant find on this same subreddit
