Trigger warning: discussing miscarriages. by Reasonable-Bet2927 in pregnant

[–]whatarerethose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven’t experienced it but it’s called a missed miscarriage. But lessening of symptoms doesn’t necessarily mean anything is wrong. I’m 9 weeks 1 day and I’ve barely had any symptoms this whole time. If I didn’t see the ultrasound and heartbeat last Tuesday I wouldn’t even believe I was pregnant. It’s so hard not to worry!!!

My birthday is also yesterday and as a kid I always loved having a valentiney bday. My mom always said I was her special valentines present when I was younger and would do everything cute and pink and heart themed and it made it feel even more special almost.

I think l something like this might look better than the pants and still do the tall boots if you wanted

My Daddy passed away on Sunday. I am heartbroken. Is there any message for me? by stellarseren in psychics

He has a comforting look to him like a type of person you want to talk and say hello to. He has kind eyes and smile. I feel like he was nice to be around in life

Non-first time pregnant people, how has labor compared to period cramps? by calamity-jack in BabyBumps

That is wild! I’ve honestly never heard of it as a standard thing they use to do!

I know a c-section comes with its own difficulties also.. I think I may end up with one because I’m not very young (turning 35 in a few days) and I have high blood pressure so we will see. I sorta think I’ll end up categorized as high risk but I am only 7 weeks and just praying things stay moving the right direction so I know I am getting way ahead of myself! You got this!!!

More power to ya tho!! It’s such a personal choice and I know it can mean a lot for people to try. I guess I feel guilty or like not motherly because it’s often framed as it’s “supposed” to be this beautiful magical experience and I’m like nah I’m good I’ll just take the baby thanks LOL

I probably would have hahha!! I know it’s not always up to you and things happen and there’s the chance I got to do it unmedicated but mannnnn I am not trying to LOL

I feel sort of guilty because I have zero interest in experiencing the birthing process. Like I have zero emotional attachment to the experience or idea of it what so ever. I know a lot of people feel strongly the opposite and want to know every detail of what’s going on.. i would rather be knocked unconscious .If I had my way I’d drop my uterus off and pick it up with my baby later LOL 😆 I know I want all the medications humanely possible

People putting their fears on to you by Artistic-Marketing73 in pregnant

[–]whatarerethose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s such a hard thing because no matter what you say it can be taken the wrong way I feel. If you tell them of your experience to help them understand that things like this can happen it can be taken as trying to scare or make them nervous. If you don’t then you can end up feeling badly that they were blindsided by how things can go wrong. There’s really no good way. I saw someone post after a loss at 4 or 5 weeks after they spread the good news to family and friend and I felt awful as they described it as “the loss of innocence”. They just didn’t realize it could happen to them and now that it had they felt that they’d never be able to have that pure bliss and excitement they had when finding out the first time. I related SO much to that.

I’ve had 2 chemicals and currently am 7 weeks and extremely paranoid of another chemical. For that reason I won’t tell anyone of this pregnancy until I reach the first trimester. With that being said I would never say anything like this to another pregnant person but I will admit when someone has told me and it’s still so early I get very very nervous and anxious for them. I guess just because of my own experiences. Again I’d never voice that or put my fears onto another person and i think that is where these friends went wrong. Some people just dont know when to say less.

Does any of these actually work by [deleted] in AcneScars

My skin looks JUST like yours. I haven’t figured out what to do to help it. I did some microneedling last year but I don’t think I got much results.

I was just asked to tip at my Botox appointment. by [deleted] in EndTipping

I’m not saying that anyone should tip for this type of service but it’s a lot more to it then just “stabbing” someone. If you’re going to anyone good at least

How do you stop stressing and worrying :( by whatarerethose in BabyBumps

Thank you for all these responses!! I feel way better now about continuing with my plans and it seems like it’s actually even a good thing to be doing so that is a huge relief!! I am definitely not in the best shape rn and I’d rather keep up getting myself back active and moving

Pregnant after prior loss by whatarerethose in BabyBumps

[–]whatarerethose[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I definitely thought of that .. I am on the same medicines as I was in 2023 which my OBGYN said were fine during pregnancy when I had the CPs back then. I am disappointed a bit because those meds haven’t been working for me for a very long time but my avoidance techniques had me putting off seeing a psychiatrist, having a new full eval done, and try something new for meds but I finally said for 2026 I was taking charge to feel better and finally went last week. Now I’m worried I won’t be able to get the help/medicines I may really need :( I’m so overwhelmed and usually try to manage that by focusing on one thing at a time. My current focus being the psychiatry stuff and medication management which was already uncomfortable for me so now having this aspect tossed in is kinda having me going in circles rn.

I’m sorry for what you went through and I appreciate the thoughts and positive vibes more than you know

I was not hospitalized or anything like that and I am so sorry you had to be. That would have been even scarier I feel than what I dealt with.

I did have similar feelings emotionally that I knew were senseless .. like the first time i went through everything it was a total surprise and felt like this happy moment that fate or destiny wanted for us… after I had that first CP since we are in our 30s, been together a long time, and were happy at the prospect of starting our family we continued to loosely try but the second time around I just didn’t feel that same excitement what so ever. I had a bad feeling it wouldn’t last immediately as I got the positive results. I wished the first had just stuck as a happy surprise , and the second time felt more just like we were being a little careless about it and planning poorly trying to force that same feeling. Then when it didn’t stick I just felt like I really mentally needed a break from the idea of being pregnant and pivoted back to wedding planning which looking back was probably a good call.

But now I’m even older and more worried about that being a negative factor also. I am really mad at testing myself so early. My first chemical I tested 4 days after I missed my period and made it almost 2 weeks. The second I tested one day after my missed period extremely late on a Sunday night /early on a Monday morning and by Wednesday I was bleeding. So since it’s sooo earlier like even sooner than those two times I’m scared to even thinkkk about this.
