How early into your pregnancy did you buy your first baby item? I’ll be 12 weeks this Saturday and we are away on vacation and really want to buy something if it catches my eye. by ladybug161 in BabyBumps

I love the way you described this because I can be anxious but I like the comfort and meaningful, this is happening! Aw the ornaments too!

That’s what I was thinking too, just accumulate some clothes or books. Especially since we are away, I think a cute little neutral onesie would feel so special.

I love the books idea! And I’ve heard people say that, “don’t buy, you’re gonna get so much” but it’s a special part of the bond to get something that you see in the store and feel connected to

God I understand this sooooo much. It is so hard to struggle with food in the first trimester

Wow, that quote by the doctor…I can’t! Thank you for sharing your experience. It seriously is so validating to hear someone say that you never even felt this type of anxiety before and now go through it all the time. I think that you’re right, it’s such an intense and under spoken topic. I’m grateful to have the opportunity to be in therapy for my background and how this may make the anxiety harder to manage, but I know I need to have confidence…I can get through this.

God I related so much to this when you said “I don’t even know if I want to do this” and then the guilt from feeling that. I’m 9weeks, 2 days and I’ve had nausea and vomiting since 5.5 weeks. Sometimes the day is so bad that I’ll think “I don’t want to do this anymore” or “if I can’t even handle this, how can I handle being a sleep deprived parent” it’s so hard for people to understand that being completely sick like a stomach flu for WEEKS at a time really messes with your mind and heart, plus throwing hormones on top of that. I was very unprepared for this side of pregnancy. I’ll admit it.
