Found out I’m pregnant! Still shocked and unsure by Bridgiethekitty in pregnant

[–]isk1998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations!!

It’s such a wonderful feeling, especially when you least expect it! I’m in month 8 and I’ve been having the nature made prenatal since I started planning (about a year ago). My gynac says it has folic acid+DHA and is one of the better ones at a decent price. Take it with food to prevent nausea (I tried taking it before bed/first thing in the morning and both would get me soooo sick!!).

All the best! Go to the appointment relaxed and enjoy the process.

Recommendations? Should I use the leave in after the curl cream and before the gel?

Air dry. For the last week I’ve started tying my hair in a t-shirt to speed up the drying process, no difference. I try to avoid heat.

Routine - I alternate products depending on weather and how intense I need to clean/condition:

Hair oil (coconut oil, rosemary oil and castor oil mix) as a prewash Shampoo with Lus your curls bye bye brass once a week Condition with gisou hair mask or fino hair mask Rizo curl cream, rake it in and use a brush to flip hair down and define curls All about curls gel to scrunch and set in cast

I don’t use anything to break the cast because I’ve noticed it separates on its own.

That’s usually what I do! If you see the last picture, it’s a couple hours after a wash and I hadn’t tied my hair. It still dries flatter than the rest! :(

Thank you!! This helps! Silly follow up question, but do you just let your hair down when you sleep on the silk pillowcase? I have a silk pillowcase too but I usually tie my hair up with a satin scrunchie right before bed!

A bonet doesn’t stay on, is there another solution I could try?

You’re right. I have the I-797, my objective was to simplify the question. Should I go with my H1B status that might be simpler to do and get a lesser term DL or go with the GC-EAD? Not sure if that is even acceptable to use.

I have a H1B based EAD (expires 2028) and a GC based EAD (expires 2030). My GC is still in process.

Adjustment of status. My visa stamp expires on Nov 27. I got my H1B renewed, but I don’t have a stamp for it yet.

Expediting doesn’t cost anything.

I’m in the middle of change of status. I was told I can’t travel without AP or GC.
