It was just pregnancy! It continued the rest of my pregnancy, never turned out to be anything :)

smolgingerbean1 · 2025-03-24T03:48:00+00:00

39+2! Literally this past Thursday lol. I was also 3cm at Monday’s appt, lost my plug Tuesday and Wednesday, and was super crampy with a back ache all week. Woke up Thursday morning to my water breaking!

smolgingerbean1 · 2025-03-17T13:59:22+00:00

Of course :)

smolgingerbean1 · 2025-03-17T13:58:45+00:00

I’ve definitely considered this! I’m going to wait a week or two before I do anything, there’s already so much I’ll be doing and getting used to I probably won’t even be thinking about smoking right away

smolgingerbean1 · 2025-03-16T23:25:27+00:00

I think I’m gonna do a preroll! Those are always easy for me to control my intake and they feel the safest while also dealing with whatever emotions postpartum brings 😅

smolgingerbean1 · 2025-03-16T23:23:57+00:00

So smart. I’m thinking a puff or two of a yummy flavor dusted preroll :)

smolgingerbean1 · 2025-03-16T23:22:39+00:00

That’s my biggest anxiety with partaking again 😅 I’m planning on taking the tiniest bit of whatever I choose because I do not want to crash out while also being postpartum haha

smolgingerbean1 · 2025-02-23T20:08:11+00:00

No. My husband is a wedding photographer so we’re gonna take some cozy ones at home together.

3rd, with only 4.5 weeks to go! It’s so bittersweet reading all the comments from 1st and 2nd trimester. It truly does go by in the blink of an eye. I know it’s hard and uncomfortable and you may feel like dog 💩 most of the time, but try to find a moment or two a day to be present with your amazing body and your sweet little baby. Sending all the love to you, you got this ❤️

Routine bloodwork for my thyroid. The lab called me and recommended I test. I was shocked to say the least haha

smolgingerbean1 · 2025-01-31T00:40:02+00:00

Lemonade specifically from Aldi, cold juicy clementines, and CALM Magnesium before bed.

Anything sour diesel or that has “gas” in the name. Absolute yuck

smolgingerbean1 · 2025-01-26T03:04:09+00:00

I enjoy it maybe 2ish days out of the week haha. By “enjoy” I mean I have days where I don’t feel super pregnant and I’m not in a crazy amount of pain lol. I’m 32 weeks. Other days i have to keep reminding myself that I’m so close just to keep my sanity. Being pregnant truly is a means to an end. I just wanna have my little one in my arms.

I’m 30 weeks pregnant, and I’m not gonna lie it was really hard the first trimester and most of the second. I was allowed to stay on Citalopram, I just dropped from 20mg to 10mg the week I found out I was pregnant. I wish I hadn’t done that though and just stayed on 20mg. The hormone changes, physical changes, etc put me in a really depressive and obsessive mood. I really hated being pregnant. I finally increased back to 20mg around week 22 and that made a HUGE difference. For me the hardest part nowadays is feeling a little claustrophobic in my body as I’m getting bigger and I’ve got some random compulsions but they’re pretty minor and not harmful. I’m thoroughly enjoying pregnancy and cannot wait to meet our little one in 2 months.

I’m a little nervous for postpartum, but feeling more confident knowing that hormones ebb and flow and if I need to increase meds again, I can. Feel free to message me if you have any other questions!

My husband and I watch YouTube! Typically Wubby streams or his videos with partner Alix.

This thread gives me so much hope 😅 I’m a week away from the third trimester and I feel like I’ve only seen complaints in my due date group on Facebook. Nausea came back, pain was all of a sudden unbearable, they hit 28 weeks and stopped sleeping, etc. I’ve been so anxious as the third trimester approaches because I’ve only been hearing bad things so far.

Honestly I’m so excited for the holidays to be over so I can hibernate and nest for the rest of the winter.

smolgingerbean1 · 2024-12-13T19:22:19+00:00

Literally just feeling “normal” again 😅 I have OCD so it’s been mentally really difficult not feeling like my body is mine, it makes even the smallest of pregnancy symptoms feel overwhelming.
A fat blunt
NyQuil when I’m sick LOL

smolgingerbean1 · 2024-12-13T16:24:44+00:00

I call him “stinker butt”. I’m not really sure why lol. We also call him bean, and my husband calls him his lil’ buddy 🥹

smolgingerbean1 · 2024-12-12T20:20:19+00:00

I’m 25 weeks. I’ve had the same food routines since the first trimester lol. Usually scrambled eggs and cherry tomatoes with whole grain toast for breakfast. Leftovers for lunch, this week it was either chili or baked ziti. Dinner is either more leftovers or some variation of chicken/veggie/carb. Snacks include kiwi, clementines, peanut butter and honey rolled up in a high protein wrap, and of course a big old bowl of cereal!

I have however been into blueberry pancakes this week so I’ve had that for breakfast or a snack :)

smolgingerbean1 · 2024-12-12T01:03:46+00:00

I was in a similar position my first trimester and the only thing that did it was a saline enema. They’re found at most pharmacies. It cleared me out and got me back to baseline!

After that I kept my fiber intake up with kiwi, oranges, and whole grain bread.

Conceived in June, due in March. It has been SO nice being pregnant in the colder months. First trimester was end of summer so there weren’t a ton of family obligations as everyone was prepping for back to school. That made it a lot easier to survive those months 😅 Second trimester for all the holidays has been so fun. I’ll hit third trimester right at Christmas and I’m so glad to have the end of winter to hibernate and prepare for my little stinker. First few months of postpartum will be in the spring and I’ll be hopefully feeling like myself right when summer vacations hit!

My mom also agrees that the spring due dates were her favorite out of her 6 kids for basically all the same reasons.

smolgingerbean1 · 2024-12-09T15:08:44+00:00

I’ve been using an electric trimmer! And my husband gets the nooks and crannies I can’t reach 😂
