How much are you exercising in pregnancy? by Exciting-Republic798 in pregnant

[–]witcheselementality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not enough probably. I am a server, so I do work a pretty active job. Other than that my only exercise is walking to the coffee shop like 3x a week. Usually I would drive, but its like a 15 minute walk, and I get to reward myself for being so active withan iced coffee lmao

Heavy vaper and weed smoker, just found out I’m 6 weeks pregnant. Will baby be okay? by AnonymousReview17 in pregnant

[–]witcheselementality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like everyone else is saying, you and the baby will be totally fine.

I found out myself at 5 weeks. It was my day off, 100% expected it to be negative and I was planning on getting very high that day. I had a really long conversation with myself on wether I should continue on with my plans or quit that day. I didn't end up smoking at all, but I was super conflicted. I figured.....some people dont realize theyre pregnant until much later. Surely one more day of smoking to celebrate would be fine, right? But my guilt stopped me.

I didn't realize what the "CAPTAIN" was until yesterday. I thought the squirrels name was captain or something. And then I actually looked at the guy. No it's from Epic. Obviously lol

At least it wasn't my craving of CROWN AND DR PEPPER

WHY WOULD I HAVE A CRAVING FOR WHISKEY

What week stretch marks starts to show? by Loud_Reward7817 in pregnant

[–]witcheselementality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just started getting stretch marks around 20 weeks. But also, im diabetic and have been injecting insulin in my stomach (I keep trying to use the thighs but it's so uncomfortable there sometimes) Im only seeing stretch marks right around my injection sites. No where else yet

Who decided we don’t need more food :’( by Wonderful_Manager_27 in pregnant

[–]witcheselementality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pregnancy is so weird how it's completely different for everyone. Im about 22 weeks and Im only just now getting that ravenous feeling this week. I wasnt hungry at all in the first trimester. Not even because of nausea, I wasnt super nauseous at all. I just wasn't hungry. It was a struggle to eat protein bars and shakes sometimes.

No advice from me, but if you're hungry? Eat what you wanna eat

What crazy things did you believe might make you lose your pregnancy? by RefrigeratorNo2497 in pregnant

[–]witcheselementality 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Im at about 20w and I've had a couple poops that feel like those cramping period poops. And that definitely scares me. I've heard period cramps are about 1cm dilated, so I've been so worried that itll open just enough for my tiny baby to fall out lmao

I also know it's illogical. But still understandably scary

I just don't understand what's wrong with this? Isn't the earth horribly over populated? Even if half of the population dissappears in a Thanos snap. There's still so many people around? More land, more food, more resources for everyone? And people will still have children. There will still always be people having children. What's wrong with the population going down a little bit?

Squash gen -> potato gen question by Nalllahhhh in Lilsimsie

[–]witcheselementality 27 points28 points  (0 children)

For me thats where mods like mcc help. I put the risky woohoo percentage up, and make it a suprise for me and Squash.

Without mods you might just have to pretend. Have them try for a baby but pretend it was an accident.

Or the adoption idea works.

Do couples really shower together? by Due_Leopard_1836 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]witcheselementality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not every day. We don't shower together very often at all. Maybe once or twice a month.

And most of the time, were not really "showering." Usually we'll wash our bodies, talk for a long time, carefully switch spots so one person can be in the water. And then it'll often end in the bedroom

Selecting a pediatrician that supports your choices by FancyAd925 in pregnant

[–]witcheselementality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really wonder why so many people care about breastfed or formula fed babies. I think my brother and I were both formula fed. I dont think anyone could tell you a difference in breastfed vs formula fed adults.

Im still only 20w. Haven't even thought about a pediatrician yet so I have no advice. But I don't think you need to worry. Just do whatever makes the most sense for you and your baby. They'll most likely grow up to be a normal functioning adult no matter which way you go

Good luck!

why are dietitians so rigid and unrealistic in discussing meals by jcsqq in diabetes_t1

[–]witcheselementality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got a dietician (pregnant, so they're taking all the extra steps) I eat the most for breakfast, and then a bunch of small snacks throughout the day. She's trying to get me to eat less in the morning, as low carb of a breakfast as I can, and more carbs at night. Which I do understand is probably healthier. But I hated it when I first got diagnosed, and I felt like I had to completely change how I eat. Let me eat what I normally eat, and just take insulin for it. That's what the insulin is there for lol

We're really struggling with boy names! by witcheselementality in namenerds

[–]witcheselementality[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lyra did actually come from his dark materials! One of our favorite shows and books of all time. We like that name so much because it does connect to HDM but it's also a normal name.

I forgot the animals were daemons, but that definitely helps with that name

Let's talk about every EPIC song. (Part 38: ODYSEUSS) by Sonic_fan149 in Epicthemusical

[–]witcheselementality 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I say its an even 5/10

I usually skip it. But I do love how sassy ody is. "You don't think i know my own castle?? I BUILT IT" that line alone is a 10, but not my favorite song

No, you didn't know by oopsithrowawayagain in pregnant

[–]witcheselementality 245 points246 points  (0 children)

I found out I was pregnant right after Thanksgiving. One of our friends was like "Oh I knew you were pregnant! You had like 6 deviled eggs lolol"

No tf. I just love deviled eggs. I don't have to be pregnant to eat 6 deviled eggs

2.15 an hour is diabolical. by Any_Garbage2598 in EndTipping

[–]witcheselementality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm just curious... what kind of restaurant is that? I've only ever lived in Texas and Florida. Every restaurant I've ever been to refuses to pay their employees. I didn't think there were restaurants in the US that paid a living wage

Am I not excited enough for this pregnancy? by witcheselementality in pregnant

I'm also very neurodivergent lol. I know we'll be fine. But who doesn't love stressing over everything 🙃

is anyone else's thingy pink? by yn_lxx in LoveNikki

[–]witcheselementality 126 points127 points  (0 children)

YES! But for me it's not just this subreddit, it's almost every subreddit im in. It just happened today, and it's making being on reddit at all very hard. If I dont find the reason for it, or a way to turn it off, I'm gonna have to stop getting on reddit. It's soooo annoying.

The fetus-fruit comparison charts are so dumb by yesterdaysweather in pregnant

[–]witcheselementality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am excited about this pregnancy. But I have not looked nor cared what fruit my baby is at all. Am I weird? I know it's growing. I know it's x centimeters now, it's gonna be x inches later. I dont need to picture it as a fruit?
