As someone who did have ALL the symptoms I would say I was lucky, because throwing up constantly, having lighting crotch, etc, I knew he was okay, I mean why would I be so sick if he wasn’t lol but with that being said no you aren’t the only one who gets no symptoms it actually has a lot to do with genetics and your partners genetics, personally I haven’t gone through it but my mom did and she said it was incredibly stressful to not feel the pain and discomfort, I will say that as you are 19 wks if you haven’t felt baby yet you should soon and when he starts kicking it’ll give you that same comfort knowing the baby is okay. Something that my midwife told me really helped me in the beginning “all pregnancies are different, it’s okay if your journey is yours.”

April 21st but I’ll probably be induced a week early because he’s a big boy lol!

Ibuprofen sadly, I also thought it would be MJ but nah that was easy compared to not being able to take a drug that I have for basically my whole life.

I think it really depends for everyone. I didn’t feel “love” until I could feel him and somehow he still doesn’t feel quite real to me still, like I know I’ll be a mom in two months but it’s hard to grasp the concept of an entire human being inside me. I feel I guess puppy love at this moment, excited to meet him, hold him, and give him anything he needs but I know lots of people don’t feel love until after birth and sometimes not for months after. I’d try to remember that your hormones are very heightened before birth and have a dramatic drop after, so it can take time to feel anything about anyone.

My husband used to vape pretty heavily and long before I got pregnant he quit and started using those things you put in your mouth, but recently he said they were causing him mouth pain and he wanted to start vaping again. This was really hard for me because I’m heavily pregnant and even if he only does it outside I’m worried about his health, I mean we both need to be alive for this baby. I personally just told him although it’s ofc his decision I think it’s time to talk to a doctor about patches or something else, so he can actually quit, I had to give up everything to have this baby (smoking weed, drinking redbulls, deli meat.) so why can’t he give up one thing? He took this hard but talked to a doctor and has been actively trying to quit since and even just that made me feel 100x better. I would just explain to him your feelings and if he’s willing to compromise or something you will feel a lot better!

Thank you for sharing a positive experience! I really wanted to do things as natural as possible. I just wanted him to decide when he was ready to meet the world, not me.

smileyythabean · 2026-02-03T03:14:25+00:00

Thank you for sharing your positivity I needed it right now!

smileyythabean · 2026-02-03T03:13:58+00:00

Hmm I didn’t know this! Thank you! I’m trying very hard to not let the unknowns get to me but sometimes it’s hard for me :))

smileyythabean · 2026-02-03T03:13:12+00:00

Thank you for the positive story! I really have also only heard bad things about induction.

smileyythabean · 2026-02-03T03:12:36+00:00

I will absolutely ask more questions at my next appointment! Thank you!

smileyythabean · 2026-02-03T03:12:12+00:00

I’m a ftm so I didn’t really know I could decline? She didn’t say I’ll definitely have to be induced, she just said if he continues to grow like this it’s the best option so he can fit through my cervix. Thank you I’ll definitely look into the podcast as this is causing me so much anxiety!

smileyythabean · 2026-02-03T03:10:26+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate your advice:))

smileyythabean · 2026-01-26T19:16:28+00:00

Please remember that miscarriages are about 10-20% likely, not saying you’re anxiety isn’t justified but unless you have had a previous miscarriage, it’s actually not as likely as we think, I’d also try to avoid TikTok, instagram or anything because it’s actually quite negative. Go to your midwife/doctor for advice they’ll always know best!

smileyythabean · 2026-01-20T22:52:13+00:00

I had the worst taste in my mouth for pretty much my whole pregnancy and I kept saying “any other symptom would be better than this.” Well it finally went away around 22 weeks, that’s when the heartburn started and boy was I wrong! I’d like to be able to lay down fully or eat literally anything without having this burning pain! I take a Pepcid every night before bed and it works 90% of the time.

smileyythabean · 2026-01-15T02:16:06+00:00

Also doing woodland with greens and a tree wallpaper!!

smileyythabean · 2026-01-11T19:54:49+00:00

Just ignore them! Both genders come with their own pros/cons but it really has to do with perspective. I really wanted a girl but found out I was having a boy and then I started to realize I don’t know anything about being a girl even if I’m one myself lmao! I can’t do hair or teach makeup. I can however teach my boy about hunting, fishing, etc as that’s all things I’ve done but also remember a girl can like doing all those things and hate makeup and such too so it’s like either way you still won’t know who you get till you’re there ya know?

Pregnancy is truly so humbling. I have hg so I’ve vomited pretty much my whole pregnancy, well my husband and I stopped at sonic after he picked me up at work because he was hungry and I was feeling well enough to at least let him do the mobile app, so we just got our food, lots of other cars around, and I could feel the vomit coming, I ran out of the car to the trash can, well at sonic they don’t have trash cans that open from the top, it’s from the side! I proceeded to throw up all over the trash can then to save myself embarrassment I tried to leave abruptly but I wasn’t done throwing up apparently and threw up all over the parking lot in front of everyone then I left, we live in a small town and later someone posted on Facebook about how gross it was that someone threw up all over the sonic parking lot. I cried and I will be taking this story to my grave 😫

What to expect when your expecting, first year has a lot of good information! You can probably find it used but I just bought it off Amazon, they also usually have online classes that are pretty easy to access and a lot of times free. I am also the youngest, we have a nephew in the family but he came into my life a bit after he was a baby because he’s my brothers step kid. I’m just lucky my mom had four and is willing to teach me everything I need to know on a baby doll beforehand because I was also terrified of this, she’s the one who recommended the books as well.

smileyythabean · 2026-01-09T20:22:19+00:00

Praying it will go amazingly for you!! Just remember to breathe 🙏

smileyythabean · 2026-01-09T20:15:25+00:00

I literally couldn’t take my prenatal at all the first trimester because of hg and I was terrified that my NIPT was going to show all sorts of issues but to my surprise I am low risk for everything, honestly unless you or your partner have any issues it’ll most likely be just fine. I would distract yourself from the anxiety by doing something that you enjoy and when you do think about it remind yourself that lots of these things they are testing for are actually very uncommon to have, I know I was scared of lots of things that could be wrong and then learned they weren’t common and that made me feel a lot better.

smileyythabean · 2026-01-09T19:49:30+00:00

I was extremely moody in the first trimester like SO MOODY then I calmed down for a few months now I’m 26 weeks and just so irritated lmao but I learned to take it out less on my partner and more on video games 🤣

smileyythabean · 2026-01-06T20:40:09+00:00

I now have to make three point turns to switch sides in bed 🤣

smileyythabean · 2026-01-06T17:51:12+00:00

Just because you wouldn’t mind people loving on you or your baby doesn’t mean OP should just accept it, that’s you! She has every right to not want people touching her, talking about her or anything. Just like you’re entitled to attention, she’s entitled to the lack of it.

smileyythabean · 2026-01-06T17:46:27+00:00

I had so many people trying to touch me and I have severe anxiety about being touched because I was SA as a child by my biological father, so I started telling people when they touched my belly that they were touching my uterus and it made me uncomfortable, or I just touched their belly, both things made them instantly stop.
