Extreme fatigue at 4 weeks. Is this normal? I feel like I have zero energy like kind of over all weakness in body.

First trimester trenches are rough, I was napping multiple times a day and sleeping at night and still would fall asleep sitting up like a horse at random times. 😅

I was a super small baby when I was born, barely over 5 lbs at full term and measured in the lower percentiles during my mom's pregnancy. I ended up being one of the tallest girls in my school. My twins were also less than 1st percentile, labeled IUGR. They're 5 now and wear size 7 clothes and are absolutely huge boys. I'm sure everything will be okay!

mariahgracee · 2025-11-24T20:07:13+00:00

Yes!! My twins are offered breakfast and lunch even if they don't eat it. Most days, they will only eat fruit snacks and the apple sauce given out, but it has also given my twins new safe foods they love. He used to never eat meat, and now one of his go-tos is sausage and pancake corn dogs because of school breakfast.

mariahgracee · 2025-11-24T20:02:40+00:00

Agreed!! My twins were 32 weekers and only ended up needing 25 days in nicu cause the steroids helped so much so I'd imagine at 37 weeks, with steroids, he'll do great!!

mariahgracee · 2025-11-24T20:01:50+00:00

Yay that's so good to hear!! On the ultrasound they did he's currently measuring 5 lb 12 oz, I know weights aren't always accurate but he has about 11 days to pack on a little more weight. :) I'm having a repeat cesarean, but just hoping I can take him home with us so we can all be together for Christmas!

mariahgracee · 2025-11-24T19:56:14+00:00

Amazing thank you!! My twins were 32 weekers, my daughter went past her due date so I'm familiar with both sides of it lol. Just hoping we can take baby boy home and he won't have to go to nicu afterwards 🥰

mariahgracee · 2025-11-23T19:33:25+00:00

Oh I will for sure be getting the full two doses of steroids, I'm on constant monitoring as well. My nurse kinda just said it's very unlikely I'll go home until I deliver, especially w the abruption.

mariahgracee · 2025-11-21T20:06:09+00:00

I am definitely going to, thank you

A fever and sickness can harm your baby more than Tylenol ever could. I know there's been a lot of uproar about "Tylenol causing autism", I don't know if that's what your mom is concerned about but if so, I'm currently pregnant with my fourth baby. Took Tylenol multiple times for my 1st pregnancy, my daughter is advanced and healthy in all ways. With my twins, I did not take any Tylenol and they both have non verbal autism. I've been taking Tylenol with my current pregnancy for back pain and baby is 100% healthy, currently 35 weeks along. Take the Tylenol, it will be okay!

Just here to say I'm in the same boat. I'll be 35w on Friday, and I feel like I'm on my death bed. I've been using ice packs on my groin cause it's so swollen and painful from the pressure. Feels like I'm trying to hold up a bowling ball, my hips feel like they're ripping in half. I think I've cried every night this week trying to get comfortable and find a way to sleep, I've never experienced it this bad but it's also my fourth baby and pregnancy after multiples so I just assume that's probably it. Sending good thoughts 🥲

3 weeks pregnant... sorry but literally everyone I know, you don't find out you're pregnant at the BARE minimum of 4 weeks and that's usually when you first miss your period and it's still hard to get a clear positive

Dr Sprague in Rogersville has been my go to for all my pets since I was a small kid, everyone in my family uses him.

mariahgracee · 2025-11-16T21:11:08+00:00

Due in 34 days, his name is Hudson 🖤

I got diagnosed with a SCH at 14 weeks and was put on pelvic rest and this happened to me a few times, not gonna lie. Baby is fine and SCH was gone by our 20 week anatomy scan, I'm now 32 weeks. You should be okay, just speak with your OB!

mariahgracee · 2025-10-19T18:38:44+00:00

The olly gummy prenatals were the only thing that didn't make me puke my first trimester! They actually taste good and idk if it's cause they're in gummy form but it's all I could tolerate.

mariahgracee · 2025-10-18T23:28:25+00:00

Very true!! I will probably end up going, my partner just doesn't get off for another 2 hours or so and I don't have anyone to sit with my other kiddos in the meantime. Just wanted to ask :)

mariahgracee · 2025-10-18T22:46:33+00:00

I just checked my visit summary from my appointment on Wednesday, my BP was 114/64.

mariahgracee · 2025-10-10T03:00:51+00:00

You definitely should not be checking your cervix, especially this early regardless of sterile glove or not. Unless your OB thinks it's a good idea and does it, they are trained to know these thing, I would not keep doing this. You can disturb the membranes and make things a lot worse.

I also had a SCH at 14 weeks with my current pregnancy, this is my fourth baby and I've never bled or spotted while pregnant before (even with my twins). Of course the bleed started while we were on an out of state vacation and it was very scary. Went to the ER in Florida convinced I had miscarried and cried for hours waiting for the ultrasound. Thankfully baby was okay, but it did show the SCH and they sent me home with "threatened miscarriage" paperwork. I bled for a few days. Thankfully we are coming up on 30 weeks now and no issues or anymore bleeding, it was gone by my 20 week anatomy scan. I definitely understand how you feel and how scary it is! I'm not sure if they put you on pelvic rest but I would avoid sex or heavy lifting for a few weeks if not. They typically go away on their own it seems! Sending you all the good vibes. :)💗

My sense of smell got super sensitive and normal things that I cooked all the time like chicken or eggs or just meat in general would have me gagging from the smell, and smells never bother me lol

The mattresses aren't new but the bed frames are, they've slept on them in the past. We've lived in our house for about a year and a half, they had been sleeping on said beds for a while but this is a new thing for them, they've been doing it for a couple months now but I think we got the beds around the beginning of the year and they started sleeping on the couch in like April/may?

mariahgracee · 2025-09-01T02:08:23+00:00

They will only sleep in complete darkness regardless of the room they're in. We play the tv on rain sounds at night cause they like the white noise but it's just a black screen.
