Symptoms, Vents, Randoms Anyone??

[yoshijo28]

I'd feel better complaining about stuff if others joined me

What's going on in your world?

[jt2378]

Happy to oblige 😛

I'm turning into a royal bitch to add to the constant nausea, I'm so tired of feeling so bad, I'm lashing out. Sorry to my poor hubs.

I just want to hibernate till 2nd tri lol

[yoshijo28]

I'm wearing maternity pants today for the 1st time. Cool. I got the same size that I am in regular pants but I'm worried they'll get too tight.. I folded the belly part over but hate feeling it dig into my stomach. I bought full panel, had no clue what I was shopping for.


**anxiety post, warning I don't want to make others worry about things they haven't even thought of.


I need to calm down. My anxiety is through the roof. My doppler comes tonight finally. I don't know if that will even calm me down for long. I keep thinking of bad things that can still happen..like incompetent cervix. I want the OB to check but he's going to think I'm crazy. Ugh

[jt2378]

I'm sorry for the anxiety yoshijo28, I hope the Doppler can ease your mind.

As far as maternity pants, I wore my regular size last go around but who knows this time. I will say it was nice to be in 3rd tri in the nicer weathe because I lived in flip flops and dresses

[elliecat17]

I love that my H is doing research and is invested in the pregnancy and what's going on, however, he has said that I'm not allowed to wear flip flops come summer.

I encourage you to stop caring whether your OB thinks you are crazy You do what works for you, your baby, and your piece of mind. I believe that mother's intuition is a real thing. If you feel off, call and ask to be checked!

Haha based on what? In case you trip because you can't see your feet?

[elliecat17]

No flip flops because no support. I grew up in Hawaii he's not worried about me tripping, but apparently there is research that wearing flip flops leads to more back pain.

[jt2378]

Yeah I wasn't sure what the flip flop thing meant. I never felt they made me trip they felt like heaven on earth

ETA: never mind I see it now, maybe this explains the back agony then lol

[yoshijo28]

Ohhhhh that makes sense! (The flip flops)

This could be true . . . . but the alternative is my feet swelling up so much that I can't remove my shoes and I feel like the skin on my ankles might tear open. Back pain, exploding ankles. It's a tough choice.

[yoshijo28]

I finally see what all these panels mean. So many choices. What do you recommend?

Wow, that is a lot of choices. So . . . . I never bought maternity jeans. I used a hair elastic through the loop for a while, then I went to a belly band, then I gave up and started wearing dresses almost constantly, because it was way more comfortable. I did have one pair of maternity work pants, which were full panel. They only lasted me till about 25 weeks though because the elastic in the panel was super tight. So that is something to be aware of. I think anything under-belly is going to be more long-term and versatile.

[mrshall1027]

I was a fan of full panel and never had any issues with them getting too tight later in pregnancy. I bought my regular size and they fit fine the whole time (gained 35 lbs). I have a bella band, and I'd use that too with non maternity pants I wanted wear. I also lived in dresses as much as I could.

Also, you back is going to hurt no matter what shoes you wear. Your body, your feet, your choice.

I had some under the belly ones which I found most comfortable in the beginning. I liked the full panel as I got bigger. Nothing was comfortable the final weeks.

Hit post too soon. I lived in flip flops for our July baby. Your back is going to hurt anyway, they are easy to slip on without actually bending down, and while I was lucky to not be super swollen (at least until after he was born) they always fit.

[jt2378]

Yeah I did Demi or no panel, the full started to feel uncomfortable most of the time

It is totally going to depend on you and how you feel. I actually liked the full panel because I felt like it gave some support to my belly. The only thing I didn't like about them was that they made me really itchy.  You also may not want full panel in the heat of summer though. I liked them but I was 3rd tri in Jan/Feb/March so it helped keep me warm too. 

[jt2378]

I never could get used to the belly band eirher

So, we are currently in Vegas for what was supposed to be a fun, go crazy, no kids, trip with a bunch of friends. I honestly didn't think I would get pregnant as fast as I did (history of infertility issues) and didn't worry about it.

Well, now we're here and I can't drink, can't enjoy a lot of the foods for fear of listeria, and on top of all the 1st tri symptoms, I'm now coming down with a cold. I'm being a total brat and I want to just go home.

[Deleted]

I feel like shit and like a bad mom. My toddler gets to watch way more tv and has some serious cabin fever. He keeps bringing me his shoes saying "out". I just don't want to leave the couch. Like, ever. And its cold outside. And I really don't want to throw up at some indoor playground. I'm ready for second tri...or 19 weeks, which is when I felt better last time. Mom guilt, I has it.

I'm sorry you're sick and can't enjoy it. That's definitely not fun. Try to think of it as time to relax without kids, plenty of time to nap, no household chores, cooking, etc.  I would much rather be sick and pregnant in vegas than sick and pregnant here at work

No guilt allowed! You do what you have to do, mama. It's not forever, and your kiddo will learn some great self-entertaining skills (which he will need once #2 arrives!)

Hugs friend, I'm right there with you but add in snapping at my kid too which makes me feel awful

Is it bad to use the same glass water bottle every day, just rinsing it out and refilling it for like a week?

[Deleted]

jt2378 oh yup, me too. Seriously, MOTY over here.

[PepperPottsJ]

elliecat17 Madrid birkenstocks!!! I am a klutz and have done some damage to both feet, leading to flip flop restrictions - these save me

MH does this,  and he is one of the healthiest people I know.

Personally,  I would go nuts. 

[elliecat17]

I have a new one.
MH is now sick. He's been vomiting which I can smell all throughout the house. Then he missed the bucket and I then had to clean the bathroom. It is the first time I have vomited since being pregnant.

Let me add that I do love him and I feel really bad that he is ill.
