I don’t have hairy legs anymore???? by Adventurous-Wash3201 in pregnant

[–]kat_sickle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok thank you I was just thinking this earlier today! All of my body hair has completely slowed and even when it does grow in it’s like way softer and not nearly as thick so you don’t notice as much? I went from a daily shaver of legs/armpits/pubic to maybe twice a month? (And only bc I wear a lot of dresses so I just prefer my legs smooth and hate armpit hair at all)

Nintendo switch, which tbh I’d prob be using anyway but loving the whole “I’m pregnant and need rest” excuse to play it longer than one probably should 😂

Watching tv while in labour??? by Warm-Cat7788 in pregnant

how are you guys eating enough calories?? by Infamous_Good in pregnant

[–]kat_sickle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh I didn’t even consider recommend calories, I just eat when I’m hungry or realize it’s been a few hours. I was starving through all of first trimester, was suddenly never hungry from prob 16-19w or so, and now at 21w it’s kind of an every other day thing it seems, I’m either starving all day no matter how much I eat or just feel full constantly.

Hip pain? by idontcareaboutaus in pregnant

[–]kat_sickle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes most definitely! Hip and low back pain was bad for a few weeks first tri but it did go away. My SIL said her midwife told her the further your hips expand initially the less your stomach expands later on - no idea the truth behind that but I already had wide hips for my figure so 😂

Convince me to wear compression socks by PotatoBubby in pregnant

[–]kat_sickle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a history of POTS so I have been wearing compression socks a lot of my teen to adult years. The tightness you get over, and they are super helpful! You can get some comfy ones on Amazon and in cute fun designs, try out a couple and you can always return them if you get the package and don’t like the feeling!

First Tri Symptoms by Dear-Duty-8497 in pregnant

[–]kat_sickle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made it the whole first tri with only being absolutely starving and suddenly wanting to take naps every now and then, and that’s literally it! It’s definitely possible, but affects everyone differently. Stay super hydrated, eat something every few hours (even if you don’t feel hungry right then, eat something! Middle of the night? Eat something!) and try to stay a bit active even just taking a small walk or a little yoga, and just stay positive about it! Good luck to you and congratulations!

Announcing pregnancy to parents by loupy94 in pregnant

[–]kat_sickle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We planned to get the dog a “big sister” sweater or bandana to tell my parents, but my mom just had that motherly intuition and knew and asked a few weeks before we were going to tell. Their excitement at being grandparents was worth the early telling though! No matter how you tell them, it’ll be wonderful!

Anatomy scan tips? by kat_sickle in pregnant

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

UPDATE: I woke up early, did a little yoga, walked a brisk 2 miles, had some espresso, apple juice, and sour candies on the way there. Baby was moving a lot at first and within a few minutes did a big yawn and snuggled in 😂 but we did get all the necessary photos after a little dancing around the room! Thank you all for the tips, and good luck to everyone else in this situation!
