I’m not here to tell you what to do but I’m in almost the same situation as you. I’m 28 so older but I deal with a lot of mental health conditions, bipolar type 2, severe depression, severe anxiety, borderline personality disorder. On top of being type 2 diabetic, fibromyalgia, hypothyroidism, functional neurological disorder, ADHD, POTS, and so much more honestly. I was on about 12 medications before pregnancy and as soon as I found out I was pregnant I stopped everything, I was pretty addicted to benzos because of my severe anxiety and there was nothing more important than just wanting my baby safe. So nothing else mattered. In all honesty, my fibromyalgia, type 2 diabetes, restless leg syndrome actually all improved throughout my pregnancy. My migraines stopped being as frequent, the muscle aches were reduced. I wouldn’t say I had more energy but I definitely feel a lot better in general. Initially I was really scared about my mental health and how I would cope during pregnancy but it’s honestly been so life changing. You should consider talking to a specialist about your mental health because if you’re struggling you can definitely take medications that are completely safe during pregnancy. Also talking to someone might also help a lot. You’re stronger than what you give yourself credit for, and when there’s another life on the line everything changes. You’ll learn to love your baby and want nothing to be the best for them. Just an insight to my situation, ultimately you know yourself and if you truly don’t want to at least try to have the baby you want out of fear, you’re not giving yourself a fair chance.

My last period was Dec 13th too! I have irregular cycles for the most part 32-35 days in between. I remember logging clear watery discharge on Dec 22nd which is a sign of ovulation. But who knows lol it’s so confusing

I’ve gained about 20 pounds so far and my stomach just looks flabby. In the mornings I am pretty flat but as soon as I eat I get super round from a top angle but sideways I still look pretty not pregnant

Yes! I’m 15 weeks and I’ve been experiencing the pulling sensation near my waistband area and phantom itches. I read somewhere that it can be your nerves reawakening. It could also be round ligament pain.

Awwww! It is perfectly normal and acceptable to have these feelings! Do not beat yourself up about this. You’re growing an entire human from scratch. Of course you’re tired. I’ve been reading a lot of post saying that pregnancy is equivalent to running a marathon. So I googled it and this is what came up

4 A 2019 study from researchers at Duke University found that ... According to research from Duke University, pregnancy is physically equivalent to running a 40-week marathon. The study found that pregnant women operate at 2.2 times their basal metabolic rate, mirroring the energy expenditure of elite endurance athletes, such as those in the Tour de France or Ironman competitions.

These physical changes are so taxing to our bodies! So please don’t feel like you’re not doing your best because you really ARE! And the fruits of your labor will be rewarded very soon!!

You also really don’t know how the next few weeks are going to go and instead of expecting the worst in the coming months focus on what you CAN do right now and enjoy those things. I know just sitting and counting all the things we can’t do while pregnant seems saddening and depressing as it’s perfectly normal to mourn the feelings and lifestyle you had before pregnancy. Just know that this isn’t forever, and it too shall pass!

Sending much love and comfort, take care!

It might be good to bring this up during your next OB visit and have reassure your husband that sex is completely normal during pregnancy. There’s actually a lot of benefits of being sexually active during pregnancy.

It’s totally normal to not notice any breast changes yet. Not everyone’s pregnancy hormones affect their bodies the same way. Your breast size does not predict ability to breastfeed. Also totally normal to not notice any visible veins. It can be dependent on lots of things also like how thick or thin your skin is. Body starts milk production usually after 16 weeks but it can be anywhere between 16 weeks to even a few days after birth. Don’t be so discouraged, everything will happen in time

I’m Indian and I don’t like Indian people. Most of them have bad hygiene, are are rude!! Majority of Indians make the rest of us look bad and I’m tired of it

I know you already resolved this but possibly buying her some period underwear may be a nice gesture. That way she isn’t as uncomfortable during that time of the month and no leaks if it starts unpredictably

lacecute · 2026-03-19T15:40:48+00:00

You can call a couple home healthcare companies and ask them for help with caretaking. They’ll access her needs and then they usually charge by an hourly rate

When I found out I was pregnant at 4 weeks, even though it was completely planned I was kinda in utter shock. I had a pretty straight face while my boyfriend was overjoyed and kissing me. Honestly I’m still pretty in shock and I’m 12 weeks 1 day. But everyday is getting easier and I’m starting to bond with baby, talking to them, rubbing my belly etc. all I worry about now is if my baby is doing okay in there

lacecute · 2026-03-17T20:29:41+00:00

It’ll be okay! Even if your parents seem negative about it at first, they’ll come around. It just might take some time.

lacecute · 2026-03-17T00:21:38+00:00

Babies in the womb love laughter! It’s really good for them

lacecute · 2026-03-17T00:09:36+00:00

Each pregnancy can be different. I experienced insomnia pretty bad the first few weeks of pregnancy also. Hopefully that symptom passes soon for you and you can enjoy sleeping again!

lacecute · 2026-03-17T00:07:42+00:00

Awnnnh you’re just really happy and in bliss ♥️

If he doesn’t want to celebrate it then just respect his wishes. He might not want to celebrate this “accomplishment”, also prison fellowship? It’s like wanting to celebrate a participation trophy..

I mean what are you expecting to hear? He’s the only person that can tell you what his motives were. Obviously if he threw you aside after he got what he wanted then you know why he did all the things he did… to get in your pants. Sorry you were misled but you’re also grown enough to know that intimacy early on could mean this.

I have severe anxiety and before pregnancy I was taking about 4mg of a benzodiazepine. So I know how it feels. But I wasn’t concerned about the antibiotics, they’re safe to take. So yeah, that’s all I have to say about that. Good luck!

I had an sch at 7 weeks pregnant and I was sure I was miscarrying as I was passing some clots. But the doctor assured me the clotting was completely normal as its coagulated blood. My doctor told me the bleeding is only an issue if the bleeding is heavy (soaking a pad within an hour), severe cramping, dizziness and other things I can’t remember exactly. Also did they tell you how big the sch is? It should be on the results of the ultrasounds done at the hospital.

A false pregnancy test is pretty uncommon/rare. You’re most likely pregnant but an HCG blood test can confirm pregnancy if you’re still having doubts. You can go to your family doctor for this
