So ready for second trimester 🥲

I really really hate the first trimester. It’s exhausting, no appetite, not enough hours to get the amount of sleep I need, headaches, smell sensitivity, and overall just feeling like crap! And I don’t want to announce anything until 14 weeks since I’ve had losses before, and it’s getting really hard to hide it from my friends. Two more weeks to go….

Just needed to vent to others who understand!

Gurl. I miscarried in October. I’m pregnant with my rainbow baby. I feel shaky, heavy headed, nauseous, hot and cold, I threw up once already. Nothing sounds good. But when I feel “fine” I can eat a bit more. I’m fine maybe 1 hour out of the day. My skin is dry. Kinda feels like a cold/flu. I’m only 8 weeks and a couple days. So I still have until the end of April to tell everyone… but I couldn’t help but tell my job.

This first trimester has been terrible for me too. The nausea is so bad pretty much all day. Plus my emotions are all over the place. Anxiety is so bad. The only relief I get is going to bed.

Girl give me a hug! I’m getting my ssa beat! 😭😭

Wow I really found my people. If only my partner knew I’m not the only one and just playing useless!!

Gestational Hypertension

I’m FTM at 38 weeks today + nearly 40 years old. My blood pressure has been fine throughout the pregnancy mostly 110/70. I went for my routine midwife appointment and it was 145/90 for the first time during pregnancy. I was sent to the hospital for further monitoring and blood/urine tests as they suspected preeclampsia, the results came back fine so now they think it’s only gestational hypertension that needs monitoring. If it was preeclampsia they did mention they could have induced me today. Now I’ve just been asked to come back for further bp monitoring on Monday. What should I expect? I have been monitoring it at home and it’s still high so in panic mode..

Postpartum Stories 💐

Hi Mamas, I’d love to hear your postpartum stories. 🩵

What’s something that really stuck with you emotionally during those first weeks or months?

The good, the bad, the unexpected… what do you still remember?

I struggled with prenatal + postpartum anxiety myself, and I know how much those early experiences can stay with you.

Anyone else struggling with deciding when to have 2nd child?

Or if you already have then how did you know you felt ready/ it was the right time. My husband is ready to try in the next few months if I am ready but I really can't decide what age gap I want. I feel the decision for me is complicated by previous baby loss, difficult pregnancy and traumatic birth and complications after birth...
I definitely know i want a sibling for my child and I'm not done yet but its more a matter of when?!
