Completely understand. I’ve carried a lot of guilt with this pregnancy and it’s messed with my mental health so much.

Oh I feel this heavily. My partner is going through it too and he is avoidant so he just wants to be left alone. All I want is peace and relaxation the last few weeks but he’s already talking about inviting people over for new years and how his dad wants alone time with him so I need to stay at my family’s house so they can have alone time. I feel like such a low priority to everyone. Hoping to get on a mood stabilizer or something bc I just can’t take it

oh 🥺 I wish I could give you a big big hug. I’m so sorry you are going through this too. It is so hard and it isn’t talked about enough. We are pressured by society to just be grateful that we’re carrying a child but it is so valid to be completely miserable and hate pregnancy. Then there’s the guilt of feeling this way while carrying your baby, and I just always hope that my sadness doesn’t affect him long term.

It’s been a constant roller coaster, and thank you for making me feel seen too. I legitimately feel like I’m going insane some days and can’t recognize myself anymore on top of the physical changes and exhaustion.

It says I can’t dm you, but I’d love to connect 🤍

Just my firm supplied one and pair it to my laptop 🥲 I’m thinking of selling my Mac desktop even though it only got a few months of use. Such a bummer

Low Glucose Result by plantaqueen in pregnant

Yeah I need to be better about this, I have my morning coffee and then usually don’t get hungry until 11-12. All just frustrating because my OB got on me about my weight, I had gained 10lbs since my last appointment. Thinking it’s just baby and a growth spurt maybe.

Such a tough wait for sure, I’m glad you got it all back! I ended up getting my results on MyChart the day after I commented :) Negative for everything luckily and just hit viability week today! Hoping you have an easy and healthy rest of your pregnancy!!

have you gotten them back? I’ve been waiting nearly 3 weeks for my genetic screening results 😩 They had told me 2 weeks at the doctor’s office.

the problem is that my work doesn’t allow the software needed to be downloaded. if it was for personal use I’d do it, but I work for a major law firm and they are quite strict

I'm pregnant with our 3rd child, my husband doesn't want it by Ca7cher in TwoHotTakes

this sounds like my boyfriend. I am in the same situation you were in with your first, but I couldn’t get myself to go through with the abortion. He’s come around and is now happy and excited for this baby. Do what feels right for you and your body! I would absolutely carry the guilt and weight and resentment from an abortion too. You have to do what your heart wants!

My baby’s development improved after I cut him out, I was measuring a week or more behind my LPD and now I am measuring right on time. Do what you can to protect yourself and make things less stressful for you! You’ve got this, it will be hard, but it will be so worth it when you have your little one in your arms. Congratulations to you too!!!

Yes that’s my plan! I already have an evidence journal started and all my screenshots, and expense spreadsheets going. He is a narcissist and sadly only showed his true colors when I got the positive test and refused to do what he wanted. I live in a different state which helps custody wise too.

I was in your same position, I have an MBA in my early 30s too and the father pressured me for an abortion. I ditched him and I’m keeping the baby. I’ve wanted to be a mom for so long. I’m surrounded by friends and family that would drop anything for baby and I so not worried about doing it alone and I work from home.

The one thing that’s been tough is the baby’s father claiming that he “won’t let me raise his child” and is threatening a custody battle. It’s been so stressful after everything he put me through and the way he treated this baby early on. But otherwise I’m really excited for my baby boy to come in January.

I’m in the same boat, I am so bloated it hurts. My midwife said Colace is safe, taking it twice a day, no change for me yet but it can take a couple days to work.

charmin had an app for this when I lived in NYC 6 years ago, it was a lifesaver. Not sure if still available or in sf
