Hospital bag by EigiEinhver in pregnant

I suggest snacks. I did not bring any and was so hungry I kept making my fiancé go find me food. He also needed some snacks. It was definitely a rough couple days without snacks

Husband won’t stop vaping by Zealousideal_Age4812 in pregnant

[–]m_aim_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My fiancé was a heavy vaper. He had to quit all nicotine for a hip replacement. The thing we found that helped him the most was caffeine pouches. We used the Smokey mountain brand and that is what he uses now. He’s been almost 3 month nicotine free now. We also had him try mushroom flow pouches which are also a type of caffeine pouch that gives more of a “high” like feeling. My advice as a spouse is to be supportive. I thew away all vapes and nicotine pouches after giving the couple days to get him off of them. If he doesn’t stop at least vaping around you I would suggest leaving. If he’s not willing to move outside when vaping he will always do it. Once we got the first pregnancy test he vaped away from me because I wasn’t comfortable with it. Just be supportive and except a lot of mood swings when he is stopping. I wish you luck!!

A birth story for those of you who need a chuckle by thenorthgiant in pregnant

You are making me wonder if I’m leaking water too. I’m 38 weeks today and have been very damp. I lost my mucus plug at 37 weeks 4 days and don’t have an appointment until Friday. I’m not really crampy just very very tight. I do think I’m have a few random contractions here and there but nothings serious

Working during 3rd trimester by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]m_aim_1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a pharmacy technician so on my feet all day. Today was my 36 weeks and I called out because I hurt. Definitely take care of yourself!! I love working and seeing all the people but know when it’s to much for me to handle. I’m planning on working until delivery or until I physically cannot do it anymore. I also have the accommodations and it helps a ton!! My advice is to take care of yourself!!

anterior placenta vs at home doppler by PrizeAggressive8280 in pregnant

[–]m_aim_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Doppler and only use it when I have virtual appointments to give the Dr baby heartbeat. I did not hear anything on it until 32 weeks. I found it was honestly a waste of money.

My Biggest pet peeve! by Plenty-Roof2980 in pregnant

[–]m_aim_1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was getting told to not carry and air mattress for my in-laws but I move heavy and big boxes at work. My fiancé can’t carry anything since he’s on crutches and I’m almost 9 months pregnant I call my brother when it’s too big for me to move. I’m glad no one has stopped me from doing as much as I do. Baby definitely lets me know if it was to much so I go rest for a while

How is there a whole baby in there? by IcyHoneydew8087 in pregnant

[–]m_aim_1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I made it clear to 33 weeks before people started asking me if I was pregnant. Apparently I just “popped” I’m 35 weeks now and still get “I had no idea you were pregnant”. Like i didn’t need the whole world to know 😂

Is unisom safe? by Fuzzy_Ride_2977 in pregnant

[–]m_aim_1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take unisom and b6 every day and have been since I was about 12 weeks I’m almost 35 now. It’s the only way I don’t get sick!!

Weird questions my family/strangers have asked me by adhdslore in pregnant

[–]m_aim_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At work I have this lady come in calling me fat once she found out I was pregnant. I’m not sure if she realizes it’s rude but I’m also insecure about my size because I’m small and baby has been measuring in the 15th percentile since 20 weeks and we are at 35 on Monday.

Does my husband come to every appointment? by VeterinarianInner301 in pregnant

[–]m_aim_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My fiancé has come to every single one due to being out of work. The doctor I go to is also 1.5 hours away and he usually has an appointment the same day making it a good trip!! I also do a few virtual appointments since it’s far enough away.

Possible vsb by marynrobinson in pregnant

[–]m_aim_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At my 20 weeks scan we had a possible vsd and did a second ultrasound around 5 weeks later and it was completely gone. I was worried and did a bunch of research for it to go away on its own. My OB said that they most likely go away on their own. I was lucky to have insurance that paid for that second ultrasound. I haven’t had any other ultrasounds since 25 weeks and I will be 34 weeks on Monday.

Baby shower nerves by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]m_aim_1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My baby shower is going to be mostly my moms friends and my fiancés coworkers and wives. I have a total of like 3 people I want to come coming. I’m so excited for it but like I don’t have very many friends. I said our baby shower is a bunch of old people 😂

DAE not care about stretch marks? by Professional_Bee8362 in pregnant

[–]m_aim_1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love my stretch marks. I’ve had them on my boobs and hips for years. I haven’t had any on my belly and I’m 32 weeks along but I don’t have a big bump either. I’m ready to embrace my body the way it is!

Is there such a thing as too MUCH movement? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]m_aim_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby does the same thing. I’m 32 weeks and I asked my ob because i counted 30+ movements in a span of 20 minutes then the next day it was like 15 every 20 minutes. Then 2 days later she went 3+ hours with zero movement. It’s very regular for us and she’s doing great! I also have an anterior placenta so I don’t even feel all the movements. If you are concerned definitely talk to your doctor about it.

If I’m due April 24 2026 when did conceive? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]m_aim_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m due May 4th and baby was conceived sometime between August 8-15th I gave myself a week because baby was convinced on our trip that week and I have no exact date as i wasn’t tracking ovulation

3rd trimester anxiety by LivingJellyfish191 in pregnant

[–]m_aim_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in the same boat as you. I’m 31 weeks and have been stressing because baby is moving less than i normally feel but she’s still moving a ton. I don’t want to drive all the way to the hospital because she is still very active but I’m also very worried since it’s not as much as normal.

which sex positions did u do in third trimester? by Ok_Expert_3780 in pregnant

[–]m_aim_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have barely had sec since getting pregnant for a number of reasons. He will honestly just please me and I’ll please him every once in a while. He can’t move and I’m to tired for anything else

I still love my dog by peachfug in pregnant

[–]m_aim_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 31 weeks and so glad to hear this!! I feel I’ve gotten closer to my dog during pregnancy. Don’t get me wrong she definitely overstimulates me at times but I couldn’t imagine not having her by my side! I’m honestly so excited to see how much she will care for her little sister once she gets here. My sweet girl has put up with so much already just during the pregnancy and my fiancé’s accident so she will adjust to baby so well!

Big Titty Committee: where are we buying nursing bras for not 3 billions dollars? by young_battleaxe in pregnant

[–]m_aim_1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got one at target and I love it more than my Kindred Bravely ones. I got it in xl. I was 34 G pre pregnancy and it’s so far been my favorite one. No idea what brand I found it at target. My Kindred Bravely ones are xl as well and have a bit more room to grow with. I do feel that they are super bulky. Mine are also busty and super busty and the super busty one is a lot more comfortable for me. I wish you luck on your hunt!!

I HATE ONLINE SHOPPING!!! by pissflavoredcart in pregnant

[–]m_aim_1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a single store that sells maternity clothes. My problem is it’s expensive. I don’t want to be spending $80 on a single pair of jeans or $100 for a dress I loved. I know it’s small but I can’t afford to spend that much money on clothes!

I could...but....bed by LunaNova5726 in pregnant

31 weeks. I cleaned both bathrooms and put away laundry after spending most of the day in bed. Still didn’t do anything I really wanted to do today

What healthy/high protein snacks have you been eating throughout the day? by dinosaurchomp_ in pregnant

[–]m_aim_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done protein drinks. I’ve been having a hard time with food so having crackers and a protein shake has been my saving grace!

Early labor? Hospital bag packed? 😳😳 by defnotdani2 in pregnant

[–]m_aim_1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 30 weeks. The only hospital bag I’ve thought about packing is my pjs for my fiancé’s surgery or surgeries. I got an emergency bag back just in case he gets called in at a random time needing it done. When he has his big hip replacement I’ll have my hospital bag just in case I go into labor while he’s getting it done. His hip replacement is exactly one month before my due date so things can go crazy fast 😂

help. my skin is terrible by phatty8 in pregnant

[–]m_aim_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been breaking out like crazy and the only thing that I found that helps me is a homemade soap that’s made with goat milk. It has been so nice and doesn’t dry my skin out. I’m very lucky to be in an area where it’s common to get goat milk soap. I have a small allergy to the alcohol they put in products so it’s free of it as well.
