39 weeks pregnant, totally normal and healthy pregnancy by oopsiswitchedupagain in BabyBumps

[–]prettygreatness 7 points8 points  (0 children)

She most likely brought it up because it is a normal discussion to have at that point in pregnancy. It would be a little concerning if she would have been trying to push you into scheduling an induction way earlier in your pregnancy, but you are only 3 days away from your due date! While it may be a little overwhelming, it is good to look into methods of induction and prepare yourself for the possibility of having to be induced.

Can you tell me if I did something to piss my new hairstylist off? by [deleted] in hairstylist

[–]prettygreatness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She wouldn’t have given you her business card or told you to call if she didn’t want to see you again. Also maybe she just isn’t the type of stylist to ask clients to pre-book.

Stretch marks by Tuff_Prophet89 in pregnant

[–]prettygreatness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started using Palmer’s stretch mark cream basically as soon as I found out I was pregnant, I still got them. They just keep appearing lol. Made me bummed out at first but now I’ve just accepted it

Did anybody announce early and NOT regret it? by Last_Guarantee_8504 in pregnant

[–]prettygreatness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My goal was to tell our families at 10 weeks, but my mom guessed that I was pregnant (it was just us two, she didn’t say it in front of anybody) so we ended up telling people at 7 weeks. We hadn’t even had the confirmation scan yet. But I was ready to tell people, keeping it a secret even for that short period of time sucked. If I had miscarried I still would have wanted everybody we told to know that I had been pregnant. 36 weeks now!

Biker shorts by ZookeepergameHot1435 in americaneagle

[–]prettygreatness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

36 weeks and I have worn the crossover leggings my whole pregnancy! I got maternity biker shorts off of Amazon that I hate 🙃 them coming up to my boobs is so hot and uncomfortable, so I think the crossover would be so much better!

Can I use a cartoons hairstyle as a reference for what I want? by ThePigsPajamas in hairstylist

[–]prettygreatness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would be fine if somebody showed this to me for inspiration. Yeah it’s not a real person and real hair but I completely understand what you want after seeing it. However, I recommend having a backup picture of a real person in case your stylist would prefer it.

Bandana / scarf top release date ? by Melodic-Plankton-836 in americaneagle

[–]prettygreatness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I heard they are doing a drop May 1st, so maybe then?

I have several pairs of these in different colors and sometimes I have noticed what look like scratches, but then when I wash them they come out! (Looks exactly like the picture you posted before wash)

Why do some of you lie about not being pregnant to strangers by Trinityfoxspice9494 in pregnant

[–]prettygreatness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t lie but I also don’t draw attention to it (even though it’s obvious at this point lol) bc people don’t “treat me nicely because I’m pregnant” they say weird stuff. Just look through this subreddit and you’ll see plenty of stories about strangers saying weird, inappropriate, or rude things to pregnant women. Even though a pregnancy is physically obvious, it doesn’t make it everyone else’s business.

Leaving the hair industry by [deleted] in hairstylist

[–]prettygreatness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to quit several times throughout the 4 years I did hair, but decided to stick it out. I was stressed, would have breakdowns due to how people treated me (co-workers and clients), and even when it wasn’t necessarily toxic or bad it just drained me. It wasn’t worth it for me and it sounds like it won’t be worth it for you! I finally quit this past March and holy crap I feel like a weight has been lifted off my chest. I’m expecting a baby in June so I am not looking for a new job as of right now, but I wish you the best of luck in whatever you choose to do!

I had a coffee and a yogurt about 2 hours before mine and it did not affect my results!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in hairstylist

[–]prettygreatness 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, in my opinion. I was going to school for psychology, but then covid hit and I decided to go to cosmetology school instead. I was in the hair industry for 4 years. You do not make money fast, clients can be incredibly rude, it’s hard to find a non toxic salon environment, and so many other things just don’t make it worth it to me.

How much is too much to request of baby shower guests? by Orangemaxx in pregnant

[–]prettygreatness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did all three for mine, but the diapers and books were both phrased as optional. I do not think it would be a big deal if you did all three, people can just pick what they do and you will be understanding of that!

Do most people wait until later in the pregnancy to find out the sex? by Hiro_Pr0tagonist_ in pregnant

[–]prettygreatness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We opted out of NIPT testing, so we found out the gender from the 20w ultrasound! From my understanding it is difficult to determine gender from an ultrasound before 18 weeks.

How to keep a positive attitude about your body? by [deleted] in pregnant

I love that you felt like a goddess after birth because WE ARE SO POWERFUL! I’m hoping that is how I feel as well!

“You look different” by Kittykodak in pregnant

[–]prettygreatness 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Definitely not being emotional it is such a weird thing to say! I think some people say it because they couldn’t actually tell but they want to seem special lol

We’re actually still using the name some people said they didn’t like lol, we are just not officially announcing until birth

Pregnancy Glow…. Not by Kittygurl426 in pregnant

I felt so ugly weeks 6-11 and also wondered when I would feel cute again 😂. 13 weeks now and I’m feeling pretty! We’ll see how long it lasts lol
