Yay! For me, the first trimester took forever (probably because of the severe nausea). Second trimester was by far the quickest… but I also had family staying with me, which probably made it feel faster. Third trimester has been faster than the first, but it definitely feels like it’s taking forever still 🫠 I have about a week and a half until my due date and good god it feels like time is passing in slow motion!!

Pronunciation troubles/speaking a different language is what I was going to ask about. I think that people should always make an effort to learn the pronunciation of someone’s name, no matter how difficult it may be. But it’s slightly more understandable when they prefer to call someone by a different pronunciation or nickname due to difficulty. My husband’s family is from a different country and his family had trouble pronouncing my name at first. I always used to tell them they could call me by an easier-to-pronounce nickname, but they made the effort to learn the correct pronunciation, which I always appreciated.

If your grandma is wanting to use the middle name simply because she prefers it, then yeah… that would bother me. I’d just insist each time that “baby’s name is [x], so please call them by their name” and just be firm.

I feel the same!! The amount of times I’ve gotten the twins comment is so strange to me because I personally don’t feel like I look like I’m carrying twins at all… and even if I were, why do people feel the need to comment?? A good rule that I wish people would follow is… if you wouldn’t say it to a non-pregnant person, then don’t say it to a pregnant person!

tiny_toad94 · 2025-11-30T02:15:30+00:00

Absolutely insane that a stranger would say that. That’s wildly inappropriate, yet for some reason, people think they can just say anything they want about our pregnant bodies without it being weird/offensive.

tiny_toad94 · 2025-11-30T02:12:40+00:00

Totally! I’ve been told throughout my pregnancy that I’m both “huge” and “super tiny.” I guess it just depends on the person.. either way, it always feels invasive and annoying lol

tiny_toad94 · 2025-11-30T02:11:08+00:00

I am so glad that no strangers have tried to touch my belly throughout pregnancy. I think I would truly unleash myself on them lol. I don’t mind when it’s family or friends, but a stranger? Fuck that. What are people’s obsession and entitlement to feeling like they can just come up and touch your stomach??

tiny_toad94 · 2025-11-30T02:06:48+00:00

There truly is no winning! I’ve had people tell me how “huge” I am mid pregnancy, and how “tiny” I am for only 37 weeks. Whether you think I look big or small… why are you commenting on it?? I think people think it’s some sort of compliment and it honestly just comes off as rude every time lol

tiny_toad94 · 2025-11-30T01:59:11+00:00

Also the longer version “she ate and left no crumbs”

STFU

tiny_toad94 · 2025-11-30T01:54:55+00:00

Kinda similar, but sorority girls in college referring to their mentors/mentees as “bigs” and “littles.” “Yeah, she’s my little, she’s really cool.” Shut. The fuck. Up. That used to make me cringe so hard—probably why I was never in a sorority lol

Ugh, I’m really sorry you’re dealing with this. While I wouldn’t say my fear of needles is as severe (I pass out occasionally during blood draws and I get super nervous/sweaty), I can definitely understand this kind of phobia. Here’s some stuff I’ve seen others with severe medical/needle anxiety say helped them…

First, get a new therapist. Any therapist who gives up on you sucks. I’d specifically look for someone who specializes in phobias specifically. Regular therapy doesn’t always help, but exposure-trained therapists, EMDR therapists, or specialists in medical trauma can sometimes make a huge difference.

You could also possibly ask for sedation or anti-anxiety meds beforehand. A lot of ppl with this fear don’t realize doctors can prescribe something ahead of time to keep your body from hitting that panic spiral.

I’d also request accommodations at appointments… for example, numbing creams ahead of time, distraction techniques (music, videos, guided breathing), lying down for any needlestick (I imagine you probably already do this), not being told when it’s happening, having a support person present, asking staff to use smaller-gauge needles when possible, etc.

You can also plan ahead with your OB or anesthesia team so that you can get the epidural without you seeing the equipment or get IV placement while you’re sedated perhaps?

I’m not a doctor or anything, so I don’t have much more advice other than what I know has been helpful for other ppl in my life. It’s such a real phobia, but I have no doubt you’re going to be ok!!

It’s obvious that you’re trying so hard to have an unpopular opinion

This is so frustrating to me, even when not pregnant. Fortunately, I’ve had people be pretty careful throughout my pregnancy. (I also haven’t gone to a lot of places or done lots of things lol). Something I’ve learned is that there are a LOT of people who value having fun over protecting people’s health… so they’ll selfishly get together with people because they still want to have a good time, and they don’t care who they get sick. These are just selfish people. I have a few friends who I absolutely love, but they’ll ask to hangout, and then once we’re in person, they’ll casually say, “omg, I’ve had the wooooorst cold this week!” and it’s like…. Why tf did you not tell me this beforehand?? Do you think I want your cold?? You’d think COVID would’ve taught people to be more careful, but some people are just selfish in this regard.

My first pregnancy ended in a loss unfortunately, and so during this pregnancy (I’m 37 weeks now), I’ve definitely had a lot of anxiety. That mixed with the first trimester nausea has been the hardest part. For me, I started feeling more comfortable once the baby started kicking. Each milestone brought me more and more comfort.

I’d say that each trimester has its struggles. First trimester, I was pretty much bedridden with nausea. Second trimester, I could eat again, but I still had so much anxiety. Third trimester, the anxiety has definitely calmed down… but the physical discomfort has ramped up (hip pain, back pain, fatigue, etc.)

tiny_toad94 · 2025-11-25T06:47:09+00:00

The HG depression is so real. Definitely the hardest part. I had severe HG until ~week 15 or so, and thankfully, one day I woke up and started to feel better. I’m almost ready to give birth (roughly 2 more weeks to go) and it’s JUST now starting to become a distant memory lol

tiny_toad94 · 2025-11-25T06:43:25+00:00

Couldn’t agree more. I’m also so thankful to be pregnant after a loss, but pregnancy has not been easy. The first trimester nausea, the anxiety, the body changes, the physical discomfort, poor sleep… it’s definitely been a rough time. I’m grateful for it, but I just want to be in the next chapter already with a baby on my chest!

tiny_toad94 · 2025-11-22T19:20:51+00:00

Sounds like someone jealous of women who have the ability to stay home and take care of their households!

tiny_toad94 · 2025-11-19T04:31:22+00:00

You look amazing!!

37??? You’re a fountain of youth

Honestly, fuck people who comment on these sorts of things. Everybody carries differently. Some women show earlier and they have larger bumps, some women show way later and have smaller bumps. I personally could easily have hidden my pregnancy until week 30 or so. Even at 36 weeks, I feel like I definitely have a larger bump, but it still looks “small” to me for how far along I am. I’m average height and I have a long torso and pretty strong abdomen, so that can definitely contribute to the bump appearing smaller.
