I am taking Friday off since I WFH yesterday. I really want to get taped Friday but I have my maternity photos rescheduled for next Tuesday. I'm going to get my nails filled Friday. Maybe I'll see if she can do my maternity photos earlier in the day on Tuesday and I can schedule a prenatal massage with kinesio taping or just taping afterwards.
That sounds good and even just the knowing that some relief is coming will help ease the stress a bit. And getting nails done always makes me feel better. The maternity photos sound so fun, too!!
I'm going back and forth on the maternity photos. While I'd like them done, I really don't know what I'll do with them.
Onesweetworld, that sounds awful. I would definitely go for a massage if I were you. A bubble bath sounds good too. Maybe with some soft music in the background.
I'm almost in my second trimester and I'm still feeling nauseous and having food aversions. I have never had it for this long before. Usually my MS is for 4 weeks max and it isn't even as bad as most. This time I'm getting my butt kicked. This coupled with the acne I can't shake, I'm guessing this sweet baby is a girl. I glow when I'm pregnant with boys. It's like some magical unicorn pregnancy. My DD nearly killed me. I had every horrible symptom you could possibly have. I limped for almost 6 months from my hip issues I had during my pregnancy with her.

The LT on the H post is obviously commiseration...sometimes our H's remind me a lot of each other. I said I was really looking forward to acupuncture bc this break between u/s is causing me a lot of anxiety and he said he didn't understand why I "insist" on being nervous all the time that something will go wrong...
I know what you mean about the pics, but they'll just be nice to have. I did boudoir pics before the wedding and I just love having them. It's a nice memory to pull out every year or so even though they spend the rest of their lives in a dark drawer, ha. I just liked the getting dolled up part and seeing pretty pics since I'm usually way self conscious of pictures.

I'm here, I had a very rough day. My anxiety is through the roof and I have no clue why. My BP was high but the same as it has been for 3 weeks. My palms were sweating during the entire ultrasound and I just felt off all day. 😞😞😞

Sometimes it's reassuring to know others feel the same way about their H's but I've been in relationships with people that treat me better. It really makes angry that I know I can have better but I choose this life. It reminds me a lot of my parents relationship too. I'm really thankful I have my mom and I hope M and I will have that too but I also wish M to have a great father and for me to have a great supportive caring husband. He can tell me a million times he loves me and he cares about me but the shit I deal with on a daily or weekly basis doesn't show me either of those things.

onesweetworld, I don't know what else to say but hugs. I think a lot of people don't understand mental health stuff if they've never experienced it but that doesn't excuse the behavior. I'm sorry you're dealing with this.

I know and I'm sorry for that, it is unfair and it's so hard to know what to do when a partner isn't being the partner you need, want, or deserve.
I also know that relationships can change and evolve. I've seen it happen...it just takes a lot of honesty and willingness...and work. I hope YH can grow up and listen to you and what you need more. Is he an only child?

Nope. I'm the only child. He is the oldest of 3. One full and one half.

That's interesting, MH is oldest of three but the only boy and the family dances around and praises him like he walks on water, so I think that's made him act like an only child, ha!

Hahahah nope. MH is no ones favorite. His mom favors his little brother (the baby) and his dad favors his sister (the baby).

onesweetworld, I get really frustrated when my husband doesn't understand my feelings of anxiety, or my need to cope with things differently than he does.
Let me know if you want to chat...I'm working through it, too. 😕

❤❤❤❤❤I'm sorry you are dealing with it also. I very rarely get anxiety attacks but this is number 2 in 4 weeks.

Mine tend to be circumstantial. I can go years without one, and then all of a sudden.
Today when I was talking with my counselor helped me understand and acknowledge that pregnancy is a situation where I naturally lack control, and that it's okay that I have an anxious reaction to situations where I am not in control. Now I'm working on acknowledging that feeling, sitting with it for a moment, and then taking an action that makes me feel better in the moment.
It's different for everyone, but sometimes just knowing why I feel the way I do helps me a little bit.

That's so true. I like control, I always have. A lot of my anxiety right now is geared towards labor and delivery and having zero control over when or how it will happen. Thank you friend!

Does anyone have dry skin remedies?! The skin on my body and face is literally peeling off. I've tried lotions and coconut oil, at first I thought the coconut oil was the trick but it's not working now. My skin literally is scaling like a snake...help! Brands of lotion?! Other remedies?? I often am dry but this is insane!!

wannabmama I don't have any advice. I'm doing the coconut oil too. I think it works best when applied to damp skin after bath/shower. Pregnancy hormones are crazy. I splurged and got a coconut milk bath powder thing and I feel like that helped a little.

I'm still working on the "take an action that makes me feel better in the moment" part, but so far some things that work sometimes and suggestions she gave me are: - take a short walk around the building/block/house/street - deep breathing in an pattern of "inhale 1, 2, 3, 4"; "exhale 4, 3, 2, 1" - complete a small, easy task (washing some dishes or puttting shoes away at home, or stamping envelopes at work--something small, mindless, and that can be marked as a little accomplishment) - petting the dog
Headed to bed, but I hope tomorrow is a better day for you!! XOXO

I've been putting Palmer's Tummy Butter all over my whole body every morning. (Except my face- I use Bare Minerals skincare line for my face. The moisturizer step is awesome.)

Oh I used to use the bare minerals face stuff akraus2015 but haven't in awhile, may be time to try again...my face looks like I sunburned it and it's in the flaky phase of the burn it's so gross!!
At least the coconut oil smells good ourcrazynavylife even if I'm not sure it's working. I'll try it right out of the shower, it seems to not absorb very well so I've been doing it at night, but I'll switch that up and see!

I am using that Kate Somerville Goats Milk Moisturizer and I'm happy.

wannabmama yea, I just kinda dab off with my towel so I'm not dripping just barely damp. I wouldn't have thought to do it that way but it's what my container of oil said. You can try and cut back on how much you wash your face and make sure your shower/bath isn't hot hot.

I'll bathe in goats milk, sheep milk, elephant milk, whatever will help! I've never heard of this potion you speak of but I'm investigating now...
