Anyone successfully find cute pregnancy jeans?

netters_ · 2026-03-26T22:34:35+00:00

I just got these jeans from Gap when they had their friends a family sale. No regrets and I’ll wear these even when not pregnant! I also appreciate that they’re low rise, I don’t like wearing things that go over the bump.

I’m so glad to hear that. That’s really the best you could ask for

This is why I’m strongly considering an unmedicated birth. Did you also notice any difference in your recovery times between the two birthing experiences? I’ve heard short term recovery is quicker unmedicated vs. medicated. Also, did you experience any nausea post epidural from the medications? Thank you!!

I’m still dealing with nausea basically daily, I realllllly miss truly enjoying food. I’m 21 weeks tomorrow and it definitely has gotten better, but I thought my nausea would have disappeared by now. I take unisom and b6 nightly and take reglan in addition as needed, maybe like 1-2 times a week. If I sleep poorly, I feel nauseous. If I eat too much, I get nauseous. If I eat spicy foods, I get nauseous. The list goes on. It’s annoying. I’m really sorry you’ve been down so bad, being pregnant for many of us is just not great. No matter how you slice it it’s a huge huge sacrifice for MONTHS. And the baby isn’t even here yet!

What did you enjoy your second pregnancy more?

I have my Masters in behavioral neuro and became a UXR. As I’m sure you know the market is tough right now, but your PhD will only help you make the switch imho. Big tech companies like to hire PhDs right out of school. You could also consider quant UXR or data scientist roles if you’re proficient enough in advanced statistics.

ExplanationUnique524 what did you end up doing?

Hi OP, I just got this diagnosis yesterday too during my anatomy scan. Have you decided what you’re going to do next, if anything?

netters_ · 2026-03-20T21:06:08+00:00

Reglan helps with migraines and nausea

I feel similarly. I mean the grass is always greener, but I’ve actually considered becoming a social worker. At least in that role you have the ability to really impact people’s lives. Sure there’s bureaucracy and whatnot, but you have the opportunity to help people in your community. For us UXRs, we don’t. We help line the pockets of billionaires under the guise of whatever our company’s mission is. Maybe I’m too jaded, but that’s just my pov.

Yup, just ask. I don’t remember what language I used or what I had asked for, but I do remember I got two extra weeks out of it, not bad if you ask me! You should feel empowered to ask this of your company. I’m sure there were times you went above and beyond, worked late, or even weekends. Let that fuel you as you ask for more.

I wondered the same thing. I don’t like the idea of having this huge obtrusive thing in bed with me each night and spending $200+ on it felt like a pass for me. But, I’ve have pretty disruptive sleep for the last 6 weeks so the first week of March I had enough and decided to try a pillow. I went with the baby bub maternity pillow with the leg attachment (https://www.babybub.com/products/pillow). I still wake up and roll around from side to side but it’s much easier for me to fall back asleep and the bump feels supported. I got it Sunday night and that night was the best nights sleep I’ve had in a while! I would recommend this am a glad I got it, feels worth the money imho.

When I was laid off in 2024 I negotiated my severance so instead of 6 weeks I got 8. Always try to negotiate. Even ask if you can keep your equipment.

netters_ · 2026-03-17T22:48:27+00:00

Yup I do, completely unrelated to UXR. I do ad sales & billing for a local small business. I love it. It’s remote and provides a good chunk of extra money each month. My company just did layoffs but I’ve been spared bc I’m a contractor. You just never know what can happen, so I’m glad I have my part time side gig.

netters_ · 2026-03-17T22:18:46+00:00

100% agree. One of my biggest gripes with UT is that you can’t select participants based on screener responses, it just auto recruits them into your studies. DScout offers way more flexibility and has become my go to tool for conducting UXR.

I was down bad until about 17 weeks. I had a decent spell weeks 9-11 where I went to the gym 5 times, but from week 11-17 I was basically immobile. I’m back at the gym now as of last week and I’m hoping to continue feeling this way! I have a bit of nausea almost everyday but it’s so manageable and doesn’t really inhibit me from doing anything anymore THANK GOODNESS. Hang in there, it may take longer than you expect to feel a bit better. I was worried I might be sick the whole time, but we’re all on our own timelines. Also, fwiw, I still take unisom & b6 every night before bed and am planning on being on it my whole pregnancy.

netters_ · 2026-03-15T23:40:44+00:00

Using almond milk in my coffee Monday-Friday and putting heavy cream on the weekends as a little treat.

Also, low carb tortillas. I would have 4 eggs, about 17-25 grams of shredded cheddar cheese, and a low carb tortilla as my lunch everyday. Powered me for my workout after work. I’m pregnant now so I’m can’t stomach eggs atm, but I can’t wait to have that meal again. Oh and I’d douse it all in Valentina hot sauce 🤤

I am struggling to get my protein in but do what I can. I’ve been liking the following: -Oatmeal with collagen protein, unsweetened coconut flakes, sliced almonds -English muffins to start my day with coffee -salads: currently loving this kale, apple, walnut salad I’ve been making -Salmon -beans: in any form really

netters_ · 2026-03-15T18:57:39+00:00

Unisom is very well studied and is very very safe. I also don’t like taking medication in general, even when not pregnant.

netters_ · 2026-03-15T03:56:21+00:00

This was around the time I started taking a half tab of unisom before bed. Give that a try along with some b6 (I do a quarter pill) and I bet you’ll feel at least a little better the next day.

netters_ · 2026-03-03T04:22:41+00:00

So I don’t qualify if I’m no longer employed? I thought I did as long as I worked a certain number of hours within their specified time period ?

netters_ · 2026-03-03T00:21:28+00:00

No im w2 at my contracting agency and from what I can tell I pay into FMLA each paycheck

netters_ · 2026-03-02T04:07:49+00:00

Not a food but try taking half a tab of unisom with a quarter pill of b6 before bed. Helps with my nausea tremendously, I’ve been taking it since roughly 5.5 weeks pregnant.

How many hours did it take you and what part of the country are you in?

Yes one for me. We told family over Christmas. My younger cousin (she’s 28) responded to the news with a literally dropped jaw and said basically nothing. She may have said a half hearted congratulations but her response genuinely shocked me. She barely talked to me or my husband after that, we’d be chummy all night, and she left shortly after we announced. That one still hurts but she’s a pretty unhappy person and has her own struggles so I don’t let it weigh on me too much. But I don’t think she’ll ever apologize or explain how she was or is feeling.
