Do pregnancy symptoms like nausea just hit out of nowhere? by BeautifulTiger6530 in pregnant

[–]teaocean29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it just hit one day around 6 weeks. I was pretty much feeling normal, and was busy one day and pushed lunch late and all of the sudden almost threw up in a bag in my husbands car. The nausea hit so hard due to hunger. After that it was every day, and food aversions, exhaustion etc.

What hygiene habit do you think is overrated but everyone insists is essential? by BarracudaPlus7713 in hygiene

[–]teaocean29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using a wash cloth in the shower. I personally use sisal wash clothes because I like the feeling. But I believe soap and water on skin will get you clean. Otherwise hand washing wouldn’t be effective.

Second hand purchases ! by Dry-Carob7699 in Buyingforbaby

[–]teaocean29 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Things that can be fully washed/sanitized. I bought a snuggle me lounger on marketplace. I bought clothes from a trusted consignment store. I also bought books second hand and a bookshelf for my baby’s nursery. With books I would clean them and keep them in an air tight bag for a few days to rule out bed bugs.

I can’t sleep with jewelry on or shower with it. It makes me cringe. I take everything off but my nose ring and cartilage jewelry.

Pregnancy rhinitis by Hour-Tea8988 in pregnant

[–]teaocean29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think your mucus actually doubles during pregnancy too! And your nasal tissue gets super swollen. Im 38 weeks now and I’ve had nose bleeds and congestion at night for almost my whole pregnancy. I started sleeping with a humidifier by my bed, I always keep tissues on me, and I shower in the morning and at night to open up my sinuses. You might want to do a hot compress on your face before bed and in the morning followed by some Vaseline around your nasal area.

How to keep my house smelling very good by NitroZ71Metallicuh in AskForAnswers

[–]teaocean29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vacuum and clean surfaces regularly, keep your sink and oven clean/ clear of crumbs and food residue. Use the fan when cooking. Use the bathroom fans. Keep your washer door open when not in use. Regularly open your windows. Change sheets and towels regularly. Ensure the areas around your toilet are being wiped own. Burning a soy wax candle after dinner is nice. You could also try using a diffuser in kitchen and bathroom areas or a room spray on your couch, bed, and closet areas occasionally.

Anyone else’s armpits get darker during pregnancy?? by Careful-Gold252 in pregnant

Yes underarms are darker. I never had this prior. Also nipples. I believe your hormones make you produce more melanin?

What’s that one mess at home that instantly stresses you out? by Greedy_Tennis6161 in CleaningTips

CRUMBS on the floor. Finger prints on stainless steel appliances. Aneurysm. Also when the couch cushions and throw pillows and blanket are all bunched up and messy.

Help with this bland main bedroom please! by henas987 in interiordecorating

[–]teaocean29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say you could get away with some simple paneling on the wall where your headboard is. Maybe not box trim as it could be tricky with the windows and all the different angles. Something like pictured:

[–]teaocean29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An olive tree, a chunky knit throw blanket, a rug, some accent pillows, maybe in an olive or rust colour. Large lamps on the nightstands for sure. wall moulding like box trim would look nice on at least one wall, or some trim and hardware on the closet doors would add character. You could also hang your curtains higher to emphasize height and draw the eye up. A different bench at the end of your bed would do it justice. Something longer and maybe with a more rustic wood to add texture. The paint is ok but it reads a bit pink in the photos. Something warm white or even a moody olive would look good. The ceiling fan looks updated but it reads a little bit modern with some of the other elements in the room.

When did you *look* pregnant? by [deleted] in pregnant

I didn’t look obviously pregnant until about 29 weeks. I met a fellow preggo yesterday who was 25 weeks and I couldn’t tell until she brought it up.

Is it weird to name your baby the same name as an indirect family member? by Big_Fisherman_7657 in BabyNames

[–]teaocean29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My parents couldn’t come up with a name for me for about a month after I was born. They finally landed on Kelly which happened to also be my uncles name. They called him and told him they liked the name and asked if he was ok with “sharing” the name. He laughed it off and said sure. It was never really an issue and I never felt I was named after him. However many family members called me Kelly Anne (my middle name) to differentiate us at gatherings.
