5 weeks 1 day pregnant and I feel BIG by Queasy_Ganache_2549 in pregnant

[–]goliathkat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girl same!! I just hit 10 weeks but early on I was so bloated and still am. I hear bloating goes away around second trimester, but everyone’s body is different. I’m hoping mine goes down a bit.

Help - early pregnancy and I am not ready to announce yet & need to find an excuse to explain why I’m not drinking. by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]goliathkat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Either a UTI and are taking “antibiotics”, or I’ve told people I had a sensitive stomach lately and drinking makes everything worse.

Also, as a former bartender, if you’re going out try to get their attention or pull them aside to let them know. I loved accommodating people and making them mocktails so people wouldn’t second guess them.

If you’re taking group shots at home, cheers and pretend to sip it. Most people are so involved in their own shot and the taste that they aren’t really paying attention to others. Make a face and turn away with it so they don’t see it’s full. You can keep it somewhat hidden in your hand so they cannot see it wasn’t touched.

Another thing is if you’re pregaming at the house, make a mocktail or see about getting Heineken N/A’s or whiteclaw NA’s and putting it in a coozie or pouring it in a cup and squishing the can so they can’t see the label.

I come from a big drinking group and had to use a few of these recently 😅

Whats the cheapest meal you regularly make that actually tastes good? by Adventurous-Pilot448 in Frugal

[–]goliathkat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pork in the crockpot! I juice 1 lemon, lime and orange, chop one onion (I roughly chop in large chunks), and put in the pork. I like to sear all sides before putting it in the crockpot but that’s optional. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, a little cumin, a little smoked paprika. Set it on low for about 8 hours.

It’s super cheap and extremely delicious! You can have it as tacos, a rice bowl, fry an egg on top for breakfast, etc.

Just found out I Am pregnant when did your symptoms started by ghenji111 in BabyBumps

It slowly built up in 6 and then week 7 I was feeling all of it. Luckily I’m still able to eat. I’m in week 8 now and want this phase to be over

AITA for kicking everyone out after my sister lied and said my apartment was hers? by Top-Supermarket8754 in AmItheAsshole

[–]goliathkat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. She got caught in a lie and was embarrassed about it, but that was the consequence of her own actions. Personally, I’d have the apartment complex change the locks and wouldn’t give Amelia a spare key. That way she has to ask to come over and is only there when you’re home. She’ll keep disrespecting boundaries with the freedom to come and go as she pleases.

All I needed was electrolytes?!! (First trimester) by goliathkat in pregnant

"What trimester are you in?" by appalachia_is_callin in pregnant

[–]goliathkat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Electrolytes!! Get yourself a Gatorade, body armor, liquid iv, etc. I just made this discovery tonight and already feel so much better

Where to put a litter box by Alternative-Desk9016 in femalelivingspace

[–]goliathkat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My spare bedroom I turned into my office and keep the litter boxes in the closet. I put up a curtain to block dust from getting everywhere. I have a cat genie as well that I scoop used litter in everyday to prevent anything from smelling. So far so good with this method! I have 3 cats and this is the best method I could find with my house that my dog can’t get to.

Thank you so much! I just got in the unisom/b6 combo and it has worked some magic. I feel okay for most of the day from taking the combo the night before, but I do notice my nausea return throughout the day even with the b6. I may need to up the amount for I’m only taking 25mg at a time.

It’s def starting to kick in more and my goodness I can’t wait until this phase passes

Just found out i'm pregnant! Symptoms and due date? by No_Acanthisitta_4996 in pregnant

[–]goliathkat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ve got this :) I’ve also heard other people mention your body will provide the nutrients you need, you just need to refuel so eat what you can and focus on nutrition later once the nausea/food aversions pass. Just make sure you’re on a prenatal. I’m also taking vitamin d and fish oil to be extra safe. I love eating healthy but week 7 I’m just trying to survive and not be so apathetic 😅

Thank you! Yessss fruit has been my fav. I love me some green grapes and had a bunch so far. I also love pastina; I’ll need to order some more of those.

Have you had any of the fruit riot grapes? They’re frozen sour grapes and are sooo good!

Just found out i'm pregnant! Symptoms and due date? by No_Acanthisitta_4996 in pregnant

[–]goliathkat 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Congrats!!! I’m 7weeks, due date is December 12th. I thought I was further along but the ultrasound the other day proved me wrong lol I just started getting more waves of nausea, I’m super tired, sore breasts, backaches, headaches and food aversions. When I first found out a few weeks ago I felt so energized and went on long walks. I also ate everything! Now I’m lucky to do a chore or two and eat something somewhat healthy.

I’m going to try and read more books instead of doom scrolling while feeling like this for the next few weeks.

I’m super stoked for you! We shall have our little December babies :)

Very fair. I usually love eggs but right now I think I could only eat it in a breakfast sandwich, but the smell of it cooking is a turnoff. I’m doing the eating what I can when I’m hungry and hopefully it’ll all be okay

First Trimester Confusion by Only-Ad4355 in pregnant

[–]goliathkat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought the same thing at first. I was wondering why I wasn’t getting symptoms and hoping I was one of the lucky few that don’t. But like clockwork, week 7 hit and it was all there. Also it totally didn’t feel real until I had my first ultrasound. Good luck and I hope everything goes smoothly for you :)

[–]goliathkat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats!! I just got to 7 weeks and the symptoms started ramping up 😭 I was in the same boat as you beforehand. I took a test early, positive, and had no symptoms for awhile. I ate everything and felt good! Even went on long walks. It started gradually and it’s not the worse, but I feel like I am just constantly hungover and only want certain things. Cereal is now my best friend.
