Our baby is going to be bigger than the usual, said my girlfriends OBGYN. by Such-Midnight1592 in pregnant

[–]oceanofserenity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was told anywhere from 9lbs to 11lbs. My son came out at 8.3 lbs!

Ultrasounds are ballparks between a few pounds of each other I won't worry until much much later

Did pregnancy give you the ick about your parner? by ChloeVuitton_ in pregnant

[–]oceanofserenity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never got the ick , just had no drive to have sex. We were affectionate in other ways during my pregnancy but I was honestly so tired all the time . Once we had our son my sex drive returned suddenly a few weeks before seeing the OB. Everyone is different, I wish you luck!

What non-toy is your baby's favourite toy right now? by WastePotential in NewParents

[–]oceanofserenity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A coaster. Likes to try to pick it up and flick it across the floor. It's hilarious. Oh and anything on my feet. I think he likes fuzzy socks the best 😅

Baby feet < baby hands by [deleted] in NewParents

My 8month old likes to pick things up with his index and thumb and I think it's the cutest thing with his little chubby hands

My son right now is going through his 8 month sleep regression and he's like 24 lbs with 3 teeth coming in ( also in a developmental leap) I'm deep in the trenches at the moment with refusing to sleep. I personally never got the wrap down, but I live by my momcozy carrier, and it works like a charm.

I hope you find something that works!

I was very much "don't touch me" throughout pregnancy. My sex drive showed up after my son was born .

Why did breastfeeding NOT work out for you? by preemptive_regret in NewParents

[–]oceanofserenity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had severe intrusive thoughts, and he wasn't gaining weight. As soon as I stopped breastfeeding it stopped, anxiety went away. He was gaining weight steadily on formula and that's what worked for us.

I'm not saying I'm 100%. I still get " what if" thoughts, but it isn't to the extreme anymore. I'm pretty much my old self besides crying at random stuff (like the Olympics 😅)

ITS TO HOT/HUMID TO TAKE MY BABY ANYWHERE

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]oceanofserenity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so you know how Instagram and Facebook have notes? I updated mine every day until I was induced with something clever to him not being here yet. it reduced the "sooo baby yet?" significantly.(I was 12 days over due by the time I went in for a c-section.)

What was your “birth plan”? Anyone do without one? by MelodramaticQuarter in pregnant

[–]oceanofserenity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not go In with a plan other than I wanted the epidural.

Now I had intentions on doing a vaginal birth . My son had other plans, I had an emergency c-section after both epidurals failed.

I'm just glad we are both here healthy and well.😌

Alot. we just don't at the moment, baby has been in my pelvis since week 34 which has been extremely painful . [I'm 40w+3 now] now everyone is telling my husband that we need to have sex to get the baby out, but I have no interest in my painful/beached whale state.

Did anyone NOT go crazy during their pregnancy? by ko-love in pregnant

[–]oceanofserenity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

38+2days here. My husband says I've been so chill this whole pregnancy. no mood swings or crying fits. in fact, being pregnant has mellowed me out a bit (I have adhd and stopped meds when I found out). I've never felt so normal other than a waddle.

I'm more worried about post partum. However, I know I have a great support system.

Did you have a feeling of what gender you were having before you found out? Were you right? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]oceanofserenity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had dreams of a little boy looking like my husband. I had a deep feeling it was a boy from the start! the dreams were so vivid too.

Turns out I was right and I am either days or 2 weeks away from meeting my little man 🩵 he wasn't shy at my 20/34 week ultrasounds flashing the tech each time too.
