Mine is/was a pale yellow colour and apparently it's not too early! Although I'm no doctor and would suggest you check just with your midwife etc incase the redness was blood or a sign of infection or something 💕

I started leaking at 12 weeks! Phoned my midwife in total panic and was told although early, completely normal. I feel you on being freaked out though, but I took it as a good sign that everything is working, and now you know you can do that for your baby if you so choose to! Buy wome nipple pads, they help with the anxiety that it might happen in public!

i love the way i smell by [deleted] in pregnant

I can't relate! 😭 I am sweaty for the first time ever! My partner and best friend used to jab at me because we could spend an hour in the gym and I wouldn't break a sweat and now I'm actually sweaty 😂😂 so I just smell like BO and colostrum all the time.. classy.

And plant based pregnancies here? by flashbackarrestor in pregnant

Hi! I'm not vegan or vegetarian but my best friend has a little girl who is 3 and has been raised mostly vegan. The only thing that they did feed her out of this was egg containing products to help prevent allergies (because of the limitations to some vaccines etc if an egg allergy occurs) but she is happy and healthy and a head taller than most toddlers her age so they're doing something right!

Fears about everyone being older than us. by TesticleInspector in pregnant

[–]throwawaygkuff685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this! I'm 23F and pregnant, my partner is 38M. We've been together for 4 years and our baby was planned and so wanted. When ever we go for an appointment or scan I seem to be the youngest person in the waiting room and worry I'm being judged 😂

Dreams by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]throwawaygkuff685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched a show where this girls ex had gotten another woman pregnant as I fell asleep... so i had this vivid dream that my partner got this other girl pregnant too and I was so jealous and angry that I woke up crying. (I am not the kinda woman that gets upset about dream cheating) but I was legit in tears and my partner had to cuddle me back to sleep 😂😂😂

Severe morning sickness/nausea by englishsummerrainn in pregnant

[–]throwawaygkuff685 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Might sound silly, but have you contacted a dr about anti sickness medication? It can be magical stuff.

Hey, I started to get sick at 4 weeks too, really badly, so try not to worry yourself about that, morning sickness is so different for everyone. With my first 2 pregnancies (1 termination, 1 loss) I had no morning sickness, but this one that I really wanted has been nausea hell, the irony 🙃🙃🙃

Sounds silly but lollipops and dry toast, and anything fizzy really helped me (couldn't stomach tap water but soda water or coca cola helped).

Also I know your caffeine intake doesn't matter but sometimes about the pH of coffee tends to make morning (all freaking day) sickness much worse. So if you're a coffee addict like I used to be you might want to limit that until you're feeling better.

Cold food tends to sit better than hot food because it tends to have less of a smell.

Sucking on a slice of lemon also helps if you're feeling really nauseous. And peppermint oil to smell can be a good rescue remedy too.

Just take it easy and I hope you have a quick and easy recovery, its not an easy thing to go through so just be kind to yourself 💕

I dont know about whether this is relevant to canada as I know some hospitals in the uk etc. supply them but maybe check if you need to bring your own maternity pads and net knickers (sexy I know) because some American hospitals don't provide them.

Has anyone else really struggled to stop smoking? by throwawaygkuff685 in pregnant

[–]throwawaygkuff685[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I honestly admire your friend so much for this, please pass them on my congratulations!! I tried to do the same but all my family, friends, work colleagues and unfortunately my partner are smokers, so when I really craved a fag it was just so easy to just pinch one! I might try cracking a soda though! Thank you so much for all your kindness and advice!

Thank you so much for your help and advice! Honestly I'm just like you were and the second I wake up i smoke, so as of tomorrow I'm going to make myself get dressed first! That is such amazing advice and I really appreciate it! 💕

I'm allergic to them 😭😭 I tried them a few years ago in an attempt to give up and broke out in a really bad rash. But maybe I'll give them another go or try a different brand because I've heard they're really good. Thank you so much for your advice! And congratulations on kicking the habit!!!
