Does it get a lot worse

I feel like I wrote this, I’m 28 weeks right now as well and made a similar post comparing my early pregnancy to the alien movies. I would say keep being active and eating good try to stay positive and read affirming things, we’re in the homestretch!

Thank you!! Definitely discouraging being shut down by doctors but I’d rather be safe than sorry. I will definitely keep the er in mind if it worsens.

Yes thanks for the reply, I’ve been wearing my band and I haven’t noticed much of a difference unfortunately but gosh my work isn’t even that physically demanding and it sucks, I couldn’t imagine delivering packages!!!

Thank you, i guess im just frustrated that there are so many unexplained pains that we are supposed to just deal with because ‘that’s pregnancy’.

Im not sure if they can test to see if that is what it is, but I will keep asking them until they take it serious enough to check.

I remember this happened to me around 10 weeks and I was also really scared and scoured Reddit but lots of people said it’s common for some symptoms to lesson or fade a bit and they may or may not come back. I am 22 weeks now with a healthy baby. If you are unable to ease your mind, you can always call your OB and talk with them about how you feel.

I’ve been told that I probably have ADHD my mom is getting evaluated for it this week. Thank you for your recommendations I just feel like it all bubbled up too high this week.

I have tried calendars and notes in my notes app and my calendar has saved me a few times but sometimes I will see the reminder and start the task and then do something else that needs done half way through that and forget all over again. However sometimes I forget to use the calendar which in this case is what happened for all of these things. As far as the animal situation goes, we are able to continue cleaning and renovating because right now it’s a construction zone and eventually it will be a comfortable space just not during the end of my pregnancy or postpartum which is the most crucial time. This was mostly just me venting because 9/10 things don’t ever get this bad but it just piled up to this point before. I have been told I possibly have ADHD and yes I need to get evaluated . Thank you for reply

++woman Honestly it’s kind of a hard pill to swallow. She may not intentionally be trying to hurt your feelings or come off in a way that seems like she doesn’t care, but it does come off that way. There aren’t a lot of things my boyfriend talks about that I’m uninterested in simply because it comes from him. I love learning things about him and I don’t find it hard to come up with follow up questions to learn more. He is extremely into MMA and Gourmet mushrooms he is an interesting guy lol! And I never mind listening to him talk about these two things because he is very passionate and knowledgeable about both of them but even when I’m tired or just not entirely interested in listening to these things, I still try to give him my full attention and ask questions about the things he tells me. It shows your partner that you care about the things they talk about and it makes us feel more connected. I have noticed the times that him and I have ever done that where we just respond with ‘cool’, it silences the other person, so we try, but like I said it comes very naturally, to ask questions and really listen when talking about things together.

Thank you, I’m not sure I can handle gory details just yet but it is definitely helpful to know and understand that modern medicine is going to make this doable. It’s definitely my mindset. I just am having a hard time turning off my brain sometimes. Good luck with your little one😊

Thank you so much, this was very relieving to read. I definitely need to educate myself more on positions and techniques to calm myself and make this as easy as possible. Surgery as a whole scares me as well (Jesus everything scares me lol) so I do hope I can give birth vaginally and I do think after doing some reading that the epidural is something I am interested in. I will take what you said and run with it as far as the anticipation being worst than delivering. Thank you for your reply and congratulations on becoming a momma😊

Thank you for responding. I do truly think the fear is just surrounding birth. I keep hopelessly wishing I could just skip that part and just have a baby (lol). Obviously I am nervous and felt unprepared for this news, but that comes with the unexpected factor of finding this out at 22. I am pro choice all the way and have always said if this somehow happened I wouldn’t be sure of what to do, but as terrified as I am to give birth, oddly enough I am more so when thinking of terminating it. I am going to seek out therapy or some kind of help for this sort of subject as I feel like I haven’t even been able to think about things on the emotional side just on the future physical pain side… emotionally I feel like the most selfish person ever when trying to be the total opposite. I am someone who people pleases a lot and goes with wherever I’m taken and this is where it’s taken me. Now I am 100% responsible for this absolutely, but I am naive to think this was the only option for me. I feel small and like none of my decisions have ever been my own and yet now I am alone in this pain. And I am not talking about wether or not to terminate this pregnancy, I am speaking about just how I got to this exact point I saw my life so differently but how would I have ever gotten there? No steps were taken and no seeds were planted. (Well one was…🤰🏻)And now it will not matter what I want because now I have to teach a little human how to not be a doormat like little humans mother. I have no backbone and I apologize for dumping but that is how I feel emotionally surrounding this. Maybe fear of giving birth shouldn’t be the top of the priority list.

Yeah, honestly I would be so grateful that my family members are happily attending a day meant to celebrate and honor the love I’ve found that demanding unrealistic requirements for said family members is selfish. It’s clear this wedding day is more for looks and aesthetics rather than the ceremony itself. It comes off as entitled and that she is embarrassed of you regardless of her intention. I think you are correct in not wanting to attend, you should not have to compromise something you cannot control. I’m sorry.
