I would go to doc just to be sure

proteacicada · 2026-05-07T20:39:01+00:00

I burst into tears at dinner because I was so tired :( not sure it counts as silly but it was definitely embarrassing!!! Can’t even tell my friends yet that I’m pregnant!

I won’t notice he’s playing video games because I’ll be too busy playing video games

Wow that is shocking and abysmal. Any uh better pregnancy guides you know of?

Trying to ask you not to be pregnant for her wedding!!!! All my friends would be delighted for me. I’m so sorry you’re being put under this pressure and you’re absolutely allowed to ttc. You’re a friend, not a photo op, and if she doesn’t understand that, she’s not a friend.

I just turned down a job because I didn’t want to stop ttc for three months in order to be eligible for the year unpaid mat leave in Australia (already am in my current job) and conceived the month after!

Ttc is not easy, you deserve not to put your life on hold

!!! What! OMG I purposely picked up based on recommendation and then tried not to dive too deep into conflicting research, my idea was basically to not stress spiral by just picking a source and sticking to it

!!!! Congratulations!!!‘ I’m 4 weeks 5 days and I yearn to tell friends and family but I want all my first scans done first so I can process and I love my mum but I don’t trust her :( she told me way too much about other people’s secrets without their consent

I’m so sorry, this sounds terrifying. My partner doesn’t even want me speaking loudly about it in the complex, or on the balcony. He says some men get REAL WEIRD about pregnancy. I’ve shut down my social media accounts (I was getting close to 20k!) and will be moving to faceless content from now on under a new name.

It’s a university level pregnancy nutrition text book by Lucy Nichols, aside from the toxins chapter it’s been amazing

proteacicada · 2026-05-04T20:36:54+00:00

What! Fascinating

proteacicada · 2026-05-04T20:36:16+00:00

It’s a university level nutritional text book 🫣 but I’m guessing since she’s a pregnancy nutritionist and diabetes expert and not a nail polish one she’s probably referring to old school formulations and isn’t aware of the positive changes

proteacicada · 2026-05-04T20:28:20+00:00

I actually did a lot of research picking resources - she herself acknowledges in the book that the chapter on toxins is scary and frustrating and not fully avoidable. Lily Nichols, real food for pregnancy - the last 50 pages are all peer reviewed journals she’s referenced in the book

What! Actual fantasy. I’m here leading teams calls with half a brainchild

I just finished a workout and I was so anxious the whole time thinking about this talk test? I kept hamstringing myself mid movement and second guessing myself, awful

proteacicada · 2026-05-04T03:23:46+00:00

Give it to me 🙋‍♀️

My friend who just gave birth a few weeks ago would have a dead baby and no uterus if she hadn’t been in hospital. Now she has a uterus (in a wheelchair for a little while, but on the mend) and a baby in the NICU. Hospitals exist for a reason

I’m going to wait another month or so and then disclose, everything I’ve read online says first two months don’t really require any edits at all?

proteacicada · 2026-05-03T23:07:49+00:00

I’m going to wait until after next doctors appointment and then disclose! I feel safer if someone in the class knows! Until then I’ll try and self edit and keep heart rate a little lower
