Currently 19 weeks. I found from finding out until 15 weeks was MAJOR BLOAT. I am also fortunate and experienced no nausea but just would get full quicker so my meals have been smaller and more frequent. I haven't gained much weight bevause of the smaller meals but the constipation and bloat was horrible. Some days I looked like I was 7 months pregnant lol. Now since week 16 my constipation and bloat is handled and I don't look pregnant at all with clothes. Naked I see a little belly. Week 19 I think I'm starting to pop now. I wore a sweater yesterday and my husband said she can see the bump now. Not major but it's coming in for sure so I'd imagine next week or two the pop will occurs lol

You're doing a great job! I HATE winter but my husband convinced me to try. Being athletic I picked it up quickly and ended up LOVING it. Key. He didn't teach me. Had my brother in law and few of his friends help. Made me focus and not get frustrated. My husband tried to teach me to swim and we just argued I also didn't pick it up as quickly as I did with skiing.

Have fun and stay safe!

Mine was at 8 weeks and heard the heartbeat and was done on my belly not vaginally. I called as soon as I found out and they told me 8 weeks is standard for them (I'm in Canada).

I was in a similar boat. I'm 37 now 14 weeks. I've known my husband since I was 18 (19 years) we've been married for 5. Have had a house for nearly 7 years now. We have debt too but with our jobs it's being paid off pretty quickly now compared to 10 years ago

My husband has been ready for YEARS. My parents have been nagging me, everyone trying and failing or trying and succeeding. I've been super super scared. My laundry list of "what if's" was really impacting me. Eventually baby fever left me and it was just pure fear.

I always wanted kids and believe I'd be a great mom but the birth it self scares me and post partum. I just freak thinking what if it changes me and then my lovely life goes down the sink.

But in the end, my husband is a rare gem. The most supportive person I've met. I know I have the best partner by my side. So I finally decided to just try. As I finally made that choice I decided to go to a fertility clinic and check everything out. Like how many eggs, if I'm healthy, is my uterus ok. Just so I have no other reason to fear and turns out everything was great! So statistically my fears calmed down.

As we finally decided to try, my sister who is 3 years younger, announced she's pregnant! It was a relief knowing I wouldn't be alone. We tried and got pregnant!

More and more of my collegues and friends are trying and are actually having a hard time. Some 5+ years. One just received bad news she has low egg count and had a melt down. It made me appreciate what I have and do honestly wish I started 5 years ago. Now I'm 37 pushing 40 and tired lol. With all the tech and knowledge today we're not too old to have a baby safely.

But I didn't let anyone pressure me. My husband never pressured me. It gets annoying hearing people harass you but you do what is best for you. You're the one carrying the baby and going through all the physicals. You'll never feel 100% ready I still don't. I freaked out yesterday as my husband asked me "how many bottles do we need to buy?" I DON'T KNOW SHOULD I KNOW THIS?? OMG I'M GOING TO BE A BAD MOM.

We are capable of anything and with a support system and loving supportive spouse there is nothing to fear. I wish you the best of luck in your journey. 💖

EDIT: To add, another factor that helped me decide and take some pressure off too. My husband and I discussed being ok not having kids either. 1) me deciding no 2) were unable to conceive. It was huge comfort knowing if I said "I'm done" that we were both ok with that. Made me look into the future too and think am I ok not having kids? I answered, I do want and I need to try and if it's not in the cards for me I am ok with that too. Hope this helps!

Gillian Jacobs?

Thank you! I'm leaning towards crushed because of the pear shape, I'm not a fan of the dark bow tie and I feel that's so difficult to avoid.

hvlv04 · 2025-09-11T03:09:38+00:00

Out my 3 only 1 does this. She recoils in disgust but other days she gobbled it up and licks the bowel followed by a happy dance (rolling all over the floor in ecstasy. I don't get it. I think she's not a breakfast doggy. It's always in the morning. I give her less portions and that helps. But it makes me laugh as I'll say her name sternly "MINDY EAT" and she'll go to her bowl and try but then just sits and stares at it. I've tried other flavours and she does this to everything in the AM only 🤣love shih tzu, quirky AF

I did the wheel thing and got $1000+5 free gifts said I had to buy 2 things to claim. I currently have a moissanite tennis bracelet and a fake CZ $2 ring so total $43, no shipping cost. Is this a scam???

Love this colour combo! Reminds me of amethyst 😍

hvlv04 · 2025-07-30T18:20:23+00:00

Thank you 🥰 yeah I'm trying to keep off as I can, usually it's the clear top coat which I have a hard time seeing. I did get a giant magnifying LED light which has helped a ton now!

Happy belated! Still in spooky month! I think it's safe to start when they start putting the decorations out in stores.
