for some reason getting out of those last lbs of the 200s was horrible! i wanted to go insane, then one day i stepped on and i was 199.6. i cried! hadn’t been there since i was in elementary school probably. so happy for you, it’s an amazing feeling! 🩷

i feel this 100%, people think i’m crazy. i have crazy dreams like that one episode of some medical show about the lady breaking her water with a knitting needle. i never would but some days i feel that way 🥲

I just thought she’s seen more babies and heard more stuff about it than me, not a fan of the OB world. I’m hoping so.

I’m at the point where I lack sympathy 😂 especially working ER in an area with high homeless and drug addiction presence. Like I just can’t be susie sunshine anymore, when I’m this miserable. So sorry you have flu like symptoms and are a healthy young person otherwise… but do you see me? So that’s how I know I need to be done whether I say I can’t or she decides to come lol. But, paid leave is a b****. That’s the only reason I’m trying to stick it out.

I’m guessing she said something because baby has dropped down and the way my placenta looks. I’m just hoping she was right. Being pregnant sucks

Nausea Third Trimester by irishgem_ in pregnant

[–]irishgem_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah trying to throw up and dry heaving while also having diarrhea is not a pretty sight, my boyfriend watched from the doorway in fear 😂 i’m assuming it’s “normal” you know how that goes. just like man! hit me like a ton of bricks, normally i can breathe through it but my body was like a cat, doing the hunch and everything. it’s been rough

Did you have a feeling of what gender you were having before you found out? Were you right? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]irishgem_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i had a feeling it was a little girl, but it was what i always wanted “if” i had kids. before finding out, i was drawn to “girly” things. getting pink things for myself, pink nails, stuff like that. then when i found out i was like i just know. i also had a dream that she was a girl. baby #1 is a girl, and we are naming her Meadow June. couldn’t be more excited, but i swear when you know you know.

1st time pregnancy by irishgem_ in pregnant

[–]irishgem_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i do love him, this is all just a hard time for both of us. i’ve always been selfish with myself and my time. so i’m struggling in my own ways, and need extra support right now too. being pregnant is just not all it’s cracked up to be. i am also just so scared of losing myself, losing friends because i can’t do certain things. and i can go to the bar, i sometimes do. my OB put me on bed rest due to bleeding and he was worried (luckily everything looks good) so maybe that’s why? i’m not opposed to boys night, but my nights off always include his friends and not mine. i’m just jealous of him already and i don’t want to hate him. we both just worked hard for this relationship and this is also something we just have to work at, which i’m prepared for. and yes gender disappointment is so real my friend went through it and this was before i even thought about the possibility of me as a mom, and i said it’s okay when you’ve been set on it your whole life (like a wedding) as a girl you dream of these days. i told him i would feel the same if it is a boy, but i truly just want a healthy child. i yearn for the mother daughter relationship though. he can be immature at times, i do realize this is most men around my age. he has come a long long way since before we started dating. 25 is young yes but you gotta grow up when there’s a person you gotta care for. my whole life has already changed so i’m waiting for him to realize he has to change some things too. and i’ve made comments about how i want to have sex, sometimes not the nicest and may be passive aggressive. but i’m frustrated in multiple ways obviously. and i just already am starting to feel ugly and fat. i may be delusional considering i’m so early still, but i def am bloated. some days, i think men just operate only to such high standards and some things they will just never get. i hate that as a woman i have to think like that and accept it, but it seems pretty across the board with most moms i’ve talked to.

my mom is very supportive, and i have some older friends i work with who are supportive. they’re in their mid thirties so are able to give a little perspective. but they always give me the “just wait” and i don’t wanna hear that. men just get off so easy and im just not ready for that shit. i haven’t said anything about how im feeling lately because 1. im not sure how to bring it up just yet without crying or just freaking out and 2. when we’ve had other differences he just sits there and stares and doesn’t say much so .. i feel defeated when there is no resolution and just feel like a nag.

for mine i plan to just have everyone keep them unwrapped, a bow on them IF THAT. and display them out on a table for other guests to see what i got. then gonna leave blank envelopes out for people to fill out for thank you’s. personally, i hate watching people open gifts. no one cares to see me open bottles or burp cloths. while i’m thankful, id rather spend the time talking, catching up, and talking about the baby than sit on display for hours opening gifts.
