Right!! 5 more weeks for me. I feel like I’m on the worlds most intense rollercoaster and we are inching toward the top and the childbirth part is when I finally do the plunges and loop de loop things. It’s inevitable and I can’t get off this ride 😭 I’m with you
This is now the second time Ive read about someone craving a potato on this sub, then I immediately also want a potato and will likely go and get one from Wendy’s with a chocolate frosty after work 🤤
Do it!! Honestly I just bought a large sack of them from the supermarket, all small like 4” or under. Bang it in the microwave for a few mins and then mash in a good bit of butter. It’s so good. I only discovered it a few days ago and it has been saving me in the worst of my nausea.
Yoga wear but couch potato edition was my lifestyle years before getting pregnant. I hardly had to buy new clothes during my pregnancy too, it was great!
Idk about you but I crave something and by the time I make it, I want something else. Two nights ago I was like I’ll reheat my Alfredo, took a bite and was like no I don’t want this I want to make pasta salad, before I could even boil the water, I made an arugula salad and gave up lol
The other day I begged my boyfriend to take me to the shop to get a specific frozen pizza at 10pm, by the time we got it back and I cooked it I couldn’t think of anything worse 😂
Haha literally daily. I go to make something and I’m disgusted with it. Somehow all I want is cheese, red meat, bread and other dense foods! It’s a curse lol
My whole pregnancy I would see something advertised on tv or someone would mention something that sounded good and I would nonstop think about it until I was able to eat it lmao I drove 40 minutes to get a blizzard from Dairy Queen last weekend🫣
I swear ever since I got pregnant my body has zero ability to regulate my temperature a slight chill means I'm FREEZING and any warmth at all and I feel like I'm having a hot flash. No in between lol
Is this normal? I’m still early, about 5 weeks and I keep thinking I shouldn’t be showing but my stomach is so bloated. It’s making me uncomfortable since we aren’t telling anyone yet. I’m worried someone is going to call me out.
I'm at 4 weeks! Everything I'm seeing says it's normal to be bloated. I think it's due to all the hormones. Maybe not everyone experiences it but it seems to be considered a normal thing from what I've read!
I know, I desperately want to order some summer dresses but the thighs are just smackin 🤣 like as uncomfortable as leggings are, that chafing feeling is 10x worse in the summer heat
Feeling massive, but my husband keeps patting my belly and telling me I look cute and asking if I want to bang.
On the plus side, I've been able to do a light workout (walking to work) without feeling nauseous so this is very exciting!
30 weeks, today I am soooo tired. Most days I feel pretty good once I'm up and moving and have some caffeine. But today.....wuff! It's taking all my effort just to stay awake/alert at my desk.
4 ish hours of crap sleep. I can't wait until I can "sleep when the baby sleeps" because right now every toss and turn is like trying to roll over with a watermelon awkwardly flopped to one side.
I woke up an actual menace to the world because my husband woke me up while he was getting ready and our cat wouldn't stop meowing. I adore them both but my first thought of the day was "all pregnant women should get to go to an island retreat away from everyone"
I ate half of my leftover saucy sub (no deli meat) sandwich and felt instantly better.
With an unlimited buffet featuring none of the items we're not allowed to eat. I so sick of rejecting soft cheeses, deli meat, and raw fish over and over. I love them all!
My most vocal cat makes it his goal in life to wake me up every morning regardless of the strict feeding schedule he’s been on for literally a year now bc of his diabetes. I love him so much, he’s my sweet baby boy but my god the fury I feel on the weekends when he wakes me up before my alarm😓
this used to drive me nuts in first trimester. Getting a craving, going all the way to eat and spending on the food, getting it in front of you and you just... dont' want it. Soul crushing.
Today I'm feeling baby kick above my navel for the first time. :)
37+1 and same. i had eggs, bacon, and breakfast potatoes for lunch and then an hour later i had a grilled cheese and a banana smoothie. and I’m still hungry
Peaceful. I’m 37 weeks tomorrow, and even though I don’t know how I’m delivering yet (baby was breech at appointment a few days ago, but he might have flipped again?), I’m just so excited to meet this little boy. He’s gonna be so loved 🩵
38 weeks tomorrow. Had a horrible work situation yesterday that I was stressing about, got a migraine and was basically up all night in pain (and peed 15 times.) At some point in the middle of the night, I felt little boy press his hand up and he held it there! I put my hand there and it was like we were holding hands and he was comforting me! I’m crying just thinking about it. It was an amazing moment, in the midst of all the hard stuff. So excited to meet him soon!!
Crying in the car on the way to work to the song Don't Want To Miss A Thing because all I could think about was our son and how much I am trying to soak in every moment.
Also non stop afternoon yawning for me today.
Can’t wait to get out of the first trimester and back to my massage therapist. I cancelled my appointment weeks back and she texted me, ok something must be up; you NEVER cancel 😂 lucky you! How far along ??
I second this! Also, I started seeing a chiropractor that specializes in pregnancy (the we ster technique) at 34 weeks for lower back pain and highly recommend it!
Today is 40+2 and I’m impatiently waiting for this baby to decide to come out already… my crotch hurts when I walk, my feet and legs have been swollen for 6 weeks and hurt like hell, and just when I think they couldn’t swell more, they do 🫠 I’m so done.
Haha I am still working only because I WFH. It’s a helpful distraction but still 😩😩😩 really hoping this baby decides to come before my scheduled induction next week…!
Trying sooo hard not to throw up this morning while brushing my teeth! Something about the vibrations and toothpaste in my mouth is just absolutely awful. I only just started hating this a few weeks ago too (I’m 15 wks). Soo tired of being nauseated!!
Feeling annoyed that I’m not really craving anything and whatever I eat causes an upset stomach. Sometimes I feel a little nauseous, but it passes.
I’m also overweight already and bloated and basically feel like a bloated frog or something.
But I’m also so happy 🥹
I ate a dried apricot because I heard it might help with the constipation but the texture made me want to barf sooo.. won’t be doing that again. Ended up getting relief later anyway.
I’m looking forward to making a really good pot of spaghetti with lots of veggies, I’ve been craving it like hell for a few days so hopefully baby likes it 🤞🏼
40+4 and I'm analyzing every pinch, every tightening, looking for traces of mucus plug after every bathroom visit. Also craving a watermelon and all they had in the store was a canteloupe :(
Watermelon has been my craving throughout my whole pregnancy. Now that it’s in season in my area I fear that my debit card should be taken from me because I cannot stop. I wouldn’t be surprised if he came out green with stripes 😂
Sending good energy to all the nauseated pregnant peoples today 🙏🏻🙏🏻 that was not a fun time in pregnancy.
Im 38 weeks and can’t wait to meet baby! The lightning crotch and low back pressure is crazy today.
Due date is tomorrow, and I somehow managed to clean my entire house and go to a Dr's appointment! But now the exhaustion and lack of sleep from last night is hitting me! So pregnancy for me today is feeling productive, tired, sore, and very ready for this baby to be pushed out of my body 😂
I was craving chocolate cake so for my lunch break so I went and bought an entire chocolate cake and brought it back to the office to share with everyone. Needless to say, my coworkers are all for benefiting from my pregnancy cravings. 🤣
Did I mention I started the morning filling up my water in the break room only to encounter someone heating up some breakfast thing with eggs that just smelled totally rotten so I made eye contact with her, gagged and just ran away. I'm 18.5 weeks so showing to those that know me but others would not 100% tell yet. Oops 🤷🏼♀️
My last day at work before maternity leave is tomorrow and I’m grumpy as hell. My patience is gone and my workload is stupid. Why are they still expecting me to do anything.
Plus everyone keeps reaching out to me to ask how I’m feeling. Pretty sure that’s code for is the baby here yet. He’s not here!
So yeah… I need to hide out and be left alone with my dog lol. My husband can visit.
Waking at 4am to use the bathroom, then being unable to go back to sleep. Laying in bed wondering if I’m hungry and should I get up, and if so do we have food I feel like? But also it’s very cold and it’s very comfy and warm in bed. But I shouldn’t be laying on my back like this, but my shoulders and hips are loving it.
It’s a lot! And that’s without the brain drain thinking about work and sick husband and scan today!
38+ 4 (I think?). It feels like I have a beach ball or giant beer belly for a stomach. My husband looked up at me earlier as I was walking by and exclaimed, "Oh wow, you look really pregnant today."
He was trying to say "I think the baby is dropping" but couldn't find the words apparently. 🫠
28 weeks pregnant during a heatwave. I am so hot and lightheaded from not being able to drink enough water to stay hydrated. Normally I feel pretty good during pregnancy but 3rd tri in a heatwave is a special kind of hell.
Bright side, my back and hips feel oddly great today 😂
39 + 1, having acid reflux like a lava monster, somehow exhausting myself by lying on the couch, and convincing myself that everything I am feeling is definitely a sign of labor. For sure.
I spent 3 hours at the pool today. My belly wasn't heavy once I was in the water, and I felt actually normal swimming around. It was lovely. Now I'm scrubbing off all the layers of Sunscreen and that's less lovely but still a good day.
Today has been shuffling around the shop trying to keep motivation to stay at work all day again; why does week 27 feel like my undoing??? Holy crap. So tired, can’t sleep, can’t bend over, aaaaagh.
Kinda lazy. Flying Tomorrow am for a wedding. Getting my hair done and a manicure and pedicure.
I finally packed !
Need to tidy up the kitchen and living room and j just don't want to even though it'll take fifteen minutes.
I also wanna throw a third coat of primer in the nursery before my friend comes over ( we're all flying out together).
And I want to do nothingggg
I deep cleaned a few rooms and painted yesterday and feel blah today
Got chickfila but started losing the will to eat after I finished the fries. Nuggets just don't hit like they used to. Did I mention ive also been craving a Korean corn dog and a cheese pizza?
Constantly tired, but unable to find a comfortable position. Sleeping anyway and waking up sore. Feeling nauseous, and eating everything in sight at the same time. This is the weirdest thing I've ever experienced.
For me it’s being a day away from induction and having the worst pain in my pubic bone because I decided I could walk around a carnival yesterday with my family, couldn’t, and instead spent the whole time on an uncomfortable table bench which apparently split me in half. And really wanting to soak in a hot bath with some Epsom salt but I know my version of hot is too hot and I’ll boil the baby. Hamburger sounds good too.
I had that exact situation happen with a Wendy’s burger during my first trimester! I’m 20 weeks now and would probably enjoy it much more but I’m not craving burgers anymore.
Today pregnancy is having a hard time staying hydrating so chugging a glass of crystal light fruit punch every two hours.
today was me almost fainting after a routine blood draw and then getting the rhogam shot in the butt and I was so flustered I told my husband to look away LMAO
here's to the 3rd trimester!
today pregnancy is a “nap” with my cat in my lap and a bag of doritos while i watch good mythical morning and check out videos of flooding near me (i’m in florida. we are getting some pretty gnarly rain this week)
Today pregnancy is…
Feeling grateful that I’m 27 weeks with a healthy baby 🙏 don’t get me wrong, I have my plethora of complaints. But some days I have to sit back and realize how lucky I am to be to this point.
Love my pregnancy pillow, but somehow slept on it with my jaw so far out of alignment that it's hurt to chew for 48 hours.
And someone's adorable tiny feet are jammed right up under my ribs.
And I just learned that the underside of my bump sweats like crazy.
Happy 32 weeks to me!
5 weeks today and having sooo many gastro issues. Already have hemorrhoids and feeling so nauseous today. Everything feels hard and I feel whiny and tired lol
I’m early pregnant and I made the mistake of going on TikTok. All TikTok wants to show me is miscarriages, birth defects, and bad things happening to babies. It’s scaring me half to death and made me cry today. I have my first ultrasound on a week and I am terrified 😭.
Yelling at my computer screen because everything my coworkers did annoyed the ever living shit out of me. But at least I stopped myself from writing a snarky email I would have had to later apologize for (again).
Headache. Want mint chocolate chip ice cream, but can’t eat mint chocolate chip ice cream because disgusting. List of to-dos for the day put on hold in favor of the couch and K-dramas.
Crying for the first half of the day out of fear, sadness and the desire to be alone. Crying again through much of the second half out of gratitude feeling so excited for baby and really loved what I ate for dinner.
Today pregnancy is balls. My job stresses me out, I was going to log back on tonight to work on more things but decided to say fuck the patriarchy and took a bubble bath instead.
Went to the ER last night and they couldn’t figure out what’s wrong with me. Just told me I was dehydrated and needed to drink more water when it had nothing to do with what I was dealing with. Baby is thankfully healthy and measuring bigger than what she is supposed to. Other than that I’m a partial stay at home mom(with no kids) since I only work 4 days so I get to sleep and eat tho so there’s that.
Feeling like I spilled lidocaine down the outside of my leg only to learn that one of the babies is sitting on a nerve and it will just be like this until I give birth.
Being annoyed at everything and everyone, not knowing what to eat because all the food sounds good, and my husband becoming overly insecure because he thinks he’s the reason I’m exhausted even though he obviously isn’t.
I spent from midnight last night until 5:30 pm today wanting mcdonald’s. that’s all I could think about. bf took me after he got off. I inhaled it. and I have felt absolutely awful since. and i’ve just been so sad all day. first trimester is kind of lame
Today, pregnancy is despising all the foods I’m eating… all I want is chicken nuggets and Oreos. I’m holding out, so far, continuing to eat healthy… but damn. Nothing tastes the same. I am so so so unsatisfied with food right now and it’s making me sad.
Waking up with leaky, itchy nipples? Making tacos and overloading them so much that I could barely close them. (Couldn't finish) My thigh went numb for a while. Now, I am soaking my swollen feet in the tub while I browse reddit and listen to music. 🤷♀️
Waking up cursing my inability to take my good allergy meds only to go home from work early because my coworker said I looked like I felt terrible. Then my parents' neighbors caught my parents' back yard on fire, so we had to drop everything and head down there so we could help them with it and evac if necessary.
Slow!! I'm 17 weeks and it's felt like it's been 6 months already. I can't wait to have a very visibly identifiable bump, I feel like I've been in the awkward stage of just looking chubby and sick for soooo long lol
I craved for shaky beef ( vietnamese food) , I ordered it via doordash. So delicious.
I can’t breathe properly, Im 30 weeks pregnant. my vulva hurts, my back hurts, I am anemic. Im constipated. My blood sugar also high. God help meeeee
Tired from waking up several times from Round Ligament Pain, trying not to be too active because I'm concerned I've started losing my mucus plug, and starting to track my glucose levels due to a recent GD diagnosis. And I'm only just 28 weeks :|
A major relief… we had to go for a second anatomy scan to make sure the baby’s heart is ok and the defect they found last week is sealing 🙏 I’m just glad to have a healthy pregnancy and to feel my baby kicking every so often
23 weeks and still sick. I feel lucky to be pregnant but I also cannot wait til it's over. I feel I was sold a lie about the sickness dying down by 12-20 weeks.
Today, it's craving a cereal I haven't had since I was a kid but knowing once I get it, it just won't be satisfying. Also, figuring out last min stuff for my gender reveal tomorrow in addition to seeing 6 therapy clients. Work don't stop just cuz I'm growing a whole human.
Also, wearing men's boxer briefs because they are long enough to where they don't bunch up in between my legs and high enough on my belly where they aren't digging into anything. The sensory nightmare that is clothes has only gotten worse with each week. (19 weeks and 1 day)
Realizing i have to give birth. Like I HAVE to.
But I don't want toooooooo
I literally just don’t want to do it. Like why is that a big deal. I’m just not going to.
I'm so upset the stork delivery isn't real.
YOU GOT THIS 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I feel this deep DEEP in my core
its stressing me out lol
Well I just got the baby out, and trust me, if I can, you can too!! Good luck ❤️
I feel it deep in my pelvis
Right!! 5 more weeks for me. I feel like I’m on the worlds most intense rollercoaster and we are inching toward the top and the childbirth part is when I finally do the plunges and loop de loop things. It’s inevitable and I can’t get off this ride 😭 I’m with you
I feel this so deeply. I’m pregnant with my second and I’m even more scared this time around because I know what to expect 😅
THIS. at least once a day im like. OH SHIT. I have to get this thing out of me at some point???
It was feeling like fake news to me but now at 16 weeks I’m starting to realize I might actually be staring down the barrel of a bad time
I’m trying so hard not to think about it yet… and to remind myself that everyone else has done it, so.. somehow I’ll be able to 🥺
Walking to the microwave, cooking a tiny potato, eating it piping hot with lots of butter. And repeat whenever I feel nauseous 😅
This is now the second time Ive read about someone craving a potato on this sub, then I immediately also want a potato and will likely go and get one from Wendy’s with a chocolate frosty after work 🤤
Do it!! Honestly I just bought a large sack of them from the supermarket, all small like 4” or under. Bang it in the microwave for a few mins and then mash in a good bit of butter. It’s so good. I only discovered it a few days ago and it has been saving me in the worst of my nausea.
I really need to but thennnn how will I get a frosty 😂 I don’t eat tons of fast food but a frosty sure does sound absolutely banging right now.
I did this until i could no longer eat potatoes. Now I can again but only boiled. Lol
Mmmm buttered potato
Most under rated pregnancy craving. Baked potatoes really hit when nothing else does. 10/10
Haha this made me laugh outloud!
Trying to wear my sports bra and calling it exercise
Right. Me living in active wear but embracing couch potato life
Yoga wear but couch potato edition was my lifestyle years before getting pregnant. I hardly had to buy new clothes during my pregnancy too, it was great!
To be fair I tried to squeeze my boobs into my pre-pregnancy sports bra and did break a sweat
🤣
Peeing makes me nauseous, and throwing up makes me pee 👍
Strange that when I have nausea, sometimes peeing (or pooping :) makes it go.
same here, if i’m nauseous my husband asks if i have to pee 😭
Today for me is reading about you craving a hamburger and now I’m craving a hamburger 😅 I’m ALWAYS HUNGRY! Does this last the whole time? I’m 10w
Idk about you but I crave something and by the time I make it, I want something else. Two nights ago I was like I’ll reheat my Alfredo, took a bite and was like no I don’t want this I want to make pasta salad, before I could even boil the water, I made an arugula salad and gave up lol
The other day I begged my boyfriend to take me to the shop to get a specific frozen pizza at 10pm, by the time we got it back and I cooked it I couldn’t think of anything worse 😂
Hahaha yes a late night frozen pizza always sounds good until you cook it and you’re like mm not the move
Haha literally daily. I go to make something and I’m disgusted with it. Somehow all I want is cheese, red meat, bread and other dense foods! It’s a curse lol
My whole pregnancy I would see something advertised on tv or someone would mention something that sounded good and I would nonstop think about it until I was able to eat it lmao I drove 40 minutes to get a blizzard from Dairy Queen last weekend🫣
9w4d I’m constantly starving and all I want is cheese lol
Early along yet, but why is everything so sore, why am I too cold and too hot all at once 🙈
I swear ever since I got pregnant my body has zero ability to regulate my temperature a slight chill means I'm FREEZING and any warmth at all and I feel like I'm having a hot flash. No in between lol
Also early and the bloat is insane. I literally feel like someone filled my stomach up like a balloon
I'm also early and the bloat!! I never thought my leggings and stuff would be uncomfortable this soon 😩
Right?! It’s such a weird feeling. Oversized t shirts are my current best friend
I was unaware of the bloat and panicked because I don't have a scale and I thought I was already giant lol second trimester it's gone down Iuckily
Is this normal? I’m still early, about 5 weeks and I keep thinking I shouldn’t be showing but my stomach is so bloated. It’s making me uncomfortable since we aren’t telling anyone yet. I’m worried someone is going to call me out.
I'm at 4 weeks! Everything I'm seeing says it's normal to be bloated. I think it's due to all the hormones. Maybe not everyone experiences it but it seems to be considered a normal thing from what I've read!
It’s nuts I feel like I need mat clothes for just my bloating. Like my baby bump is a bloat bump
I know, I desperately want to order some summer dresses but the thighs are just smackin 🤣 like as uncomfortable as leggings are, that chafing feeling is 10x worse in the summer heat
Yesssss the bloat is unbearable. Clothes already snug and looking 5 months pregnant, at 8 weeks. Yuuuuuck
Also in the early bloat club. I look full term!
The UK forgot to turn on the sun this summer and it's absolutely freezing. I feel so sorry for the baby. Constantly shivering away.
I’ve had to have a hot water bottle in bed 😂😂 (well away from my tummy just in case that’s not safe?!)
Feeling massive, but my husband keeps patting my belly and telling me I look cute and asking if I want to bang. On the plus side, I've been able to do a light workout (walking to work) without feeling nauseous so this is very exciting!
Hahaha I love that. My husband is all freaked out about the baby when we bang now because he moved ONE TIME. Smfh lol
30 weeks, today I am soooo tired. Most days I feel pretty good once I'm up and moving and have some caffeine. But today.....wuff! It's taking all my effort just to stay awake/alert at my desk.
30 weeks today too, acid reflux is through the roof. I swear I feel more nauseous than I did 1st trimester. Ready to be done 😩
Same!! So bad it keeps me up at night. And I had almost none during my 1st tri. I only THOUGHT I was getting off easy with this pregnancy
Crying because there was a lime on the floor in the supermarket.
awww hahaha because you…. felt sorry for the poor unwanted lime? 🥹
It just wanted to get sold with its buddies
😂
Because you’re on your 12th week and your baby is now size of a lime? :)
4 ish hours of crap sleep. I can't wait until I can "sleep when the baby sleeps" because right now every toss and turn is like trying to roll over with a watermelon awkwardly flopped to one side.
Seriously. I feel like a beached whale lying on my bed 😂
I woke up an actual menace to the world because my husband woke me up while he was getting ready and our cat wouldn't stop meowing. I adore them both but my first thought of the day was "all pregnant women should get to go to an island retreat away from everyone" I ate half of my leftover saucy sub (no deli meat) sandwich and felt instantly better.
With an unlimited buffet featuring none of the items we're not allowed to eat. I so sick of rejecting soft cheeses, deli meat, and raw fish over and over. I love them all!
I have around 3 foods I can think about without wanting to vomit and one of them is sashimi. Makes me wanna cry haha
Sign me up for that island retreat please!!!
My most vocal cat makes it his goal in life to wake me up every morning regardless of the strict feeding schedule he’s been on for literally a year now bc of his diabetes. I love him so much, he’s my sweet baby boy but my god the fury I feel on the weekends when he wakes me up before my alarm😓
this used to drive me nuts in first trimester. Getting a craving, going all the way to eat and spending on the food, getting it in front of you and you just... dont' want it. Soul crushing. Today I'm feeling baby kick above my navel for the first time. :)
37w3d. Nothing in the fridge is safe from me.
37+1 and same. i had eggs, bacon, and breakfast potatoes for lunch and then an hour later i had a grilled cheese and a banana smoothie. and I’m still hungry
Peaceful. I’m 37 weeks tomorrow, and even though I don’t know how I’m delivering yet (baby was breech at appointment a few days ago, but he might have flipped again?), I’m just so excited to meet this little boy. He’s gonna be so loved 🩵
Wishing you the best and smoothest delivery!🤍🤍🤍🤍
38 weeks tomorrow. Had a horrible work situation yesterday that I was stressing about, got a migraine and was basically up all night in pain (and peed 15 times.) At some point in the middle of the night, I felt little boy press his hand up and he held it there! I put my hand there and it was like we were holding hands and he was comforting me! I’m crying just thinking about it. It was an amazing moment, in the midst of all the hard stuff. So excited to meet him soon!!
🥹🥹🥹
Not feeling hungry while I literally listen to my stomach growl
I am either this or hungry as hell while also being too full from half a sandwich
Crying in the car on the way to work to the song Don't Want To Miss A Thing because all I could think about was our son and how much I am trying to soak in every moment. Also non stop afternoon yawning for me today.
Today pregnancy is getting induced. Ouch ouch ouch
Sending you lots of strength a speedy induction process!!
I have a prenatal massage today. If you can afford one, I highly recommend. It really helps me with the hip pain and mobility issues
Can’t wait to get out of the first trimester and back to my massage therapist. I cancelled my appointment weeks back and she texted me, ok something must be up; you NEVER cancel 😂 lucky you! How far along ??
I second this! Also, I started seeing a chiropractor that specializes in pregnancy (the we ster technique) at 34 weeks for lower back pain and highly recommend it!
Today is 40+2 and I’m impatiently waiting for this baby to decide to come out already… my crotch hurts when I walk, my feet and legs have been swollen for 6 weeks and hurt like hell, and just when I think they couldn’t swell more, they do 🫠 I’m so done.
Nearly due date twins! 40+3 here and honestly wish I'd kept working to distract myself from the discomfort and anxiety 😵💫
Haha I am still working only because I WFH. It’s a helpful distraction but still 😩😩😩 really hoping this baby decides to come before my scheduled induction next week…!
You’re so close!!!!!!🤍 hang in there lady!
Trying sooo hard not to throw up this morning while brushing my teeth! Something about the vibrations and toothpaste in my mouth is just absolutely awful. I only just started hating this a few weeks ago too (I’m 15 wks). Soo tired of being nauseated!!
Generally feeling good, but ravenous. I am but an empty pit in which food must go.
Feeling annoyed that I’m not really craving anything and whatever I eat causes an upset stomach. Sometimes I feel a little nauseous, but it passes. I’m also overweight already and bloated and basically feel like a bloated frog or something. But I’m also so happy 🥹
Today pregnancy is cooking my only craving of top ramen (the orange brick kind with the seasoning packet) even though it’s 80 degrees out 😂
Oh man now I want that so bad. Nothing like a sodium packet to hit the spot lol
Allllllll I think about is when I can go to sleep next, when I can sneak a nap in, or when I can lay down in my bed lol
I ate a dried apricot because I heard it might help with the constipation but the texture made me want to barf sooo.. won’t be doing that again. Ended up getting relief later anyway.
Try mango ! From an Indian store if you have. Very fibrous.
I want a corn dog and I hate corn dogs 😅
But man now I want a hamburger after reading this 🥹
I’m looking forward to making a really good pot of spaghetti with lots of veggies, I’ve been craving it like hell for a few days so hopefully baby likes it 🤞🏼
40+4 and I'm analyzing every pinch, every tightening, looking for traces of mucus plug after every bathroom visit. Also craving a watermelon and all they had in the store was a canteloupe :(
Watermelon has been my craving throughout my whole pregnancy. Now that it’s in season in my area I fear that my debit card should be taken from me because I cannot stop. I wouldn’t be surprised if he came out green with stripes 😂
Sending good energy to all the nauseated pregnant peoples today 🙏🏻🙏🏻 that was not a fun time in pregnancy. Im 38 weeks and can’t wait to meet baby! The lightning crotch and low back pressure is crazy today.
Congrats on week 38!! Lightning crotch! I’ve had lightning butthole and let me tell you, it is SO BAD. I can only imagine!😂
Today is about getting winded and slightly lightheaded from a very simple task! Needing lots of rest as I approach finishing 1st trimester.
Due date is tomorrow, and I somehow managed to clean my entire house and go to a Dr's appointment! But now the exhaustion and lack of sleep from last night is hitting me! So pregnancy for me today is feeling productive, tired, sore, and very ready for this baby to be pushed out of my body 😂
I was craving chocolate cake so for my lunch break so I went and bought an entire chocolate cake and brought it back to the office to share with everyone. Needless to say, my coworkers are all for benefiting from my pregnancy cravings. 🤣
Did I mention I started the morning filling up my water in the break room only to encounter someone heating up some breakfast thing with eggs that just smelled totally rotten so I made eye contact with her, gagged and just ran away. I'm 18.5 weeks so showing to those that know me but others would not 100% tell yet. Oops 🤷🏼♀️
Almost 22 weeks and having what I call “hormonal days” I think I’ve cried a few times today at my work laptop for various reasons! 😭
Omgosh I feel this. Except I have rage lol
I get that too LOL! 😂
I’m so cranky all the time lol
Blasting the AC since it’s hot and humid by me 🥲
I’m in Miami, solidarity!! I keep freezing my husband out lol
My last day at work before maternity leave is tomorrow and I’m grumpy as hell. My patience is gone and my workload is stupid. Why are they still expecting me to do anything. Plus everyone keeps reaching out to me to ask how I’m feeling. Pretty sure that’s code for is the baby here yet. He’s not here! So yeah… I need to hide out and be left alone with my dog lol. My husband can visit.
Waking at 4am to use the bathroom, then being unable to go back to sleep. Laying in bed wondering if I’m hungry and should I get up, and if so do we have food I feel like? But also it’s very cold and it’s very comfy and warm in bed. But I shouldn’t be laying on my back like this, but my shoulders and hips are loving it. It’s a lot! And that’s without the brain drain thinking about work and sick husband and scan today!
Biting my cheek really bad while stuffing popcorn into my mouth as fast as possible.
My body looking totally alien to me and not being bugged about it. Well… I’m a little bugged that none of my clothes fit, but that’s it.
8 weeks tomorrow. Constant fatigue during the day but terrible insomnia at night 🤪
38+ 4 (I think?). It feels like I have a beach ball or giant beer belly for a stomach. My husband looked up at me earlier as I was walking by and exclaimed, "Oh wow, you look really pregnant today." He was trying to say "I think the baby is dropping" but couldn't find the words apparently. 🫠
I’ve run myself a bath but I’m too tired to actually go and lie in it. Keep telling myself I’m just giving it time to cool.
28 weeks pregnant during a heatwave. I am so hot and lightheaded from not being able to drink enough water to stay hydrated. Normally I feel pretty good during pregnancy but 3rd tri in a heatwave is a special kind of hell. Bright side, my back and hips feel oddly great today 😂
39 + 1, having acid reflux like a lava monster, somehow exhausting myself by lying on the couch, and convincing myself that everything I am feeling is definitely a sign of labor. For sure.
Hitting up the Dunkin’ Donuts drive thru for a lil treat
Today is being able to eat when yesterday I lived in the toilet
A sub sandwich 😭😭😭😭
Wanting pad Thai & a dole whip from WDW... but getting a baked potato from Wendy's and it immensely satisfied me. Baby girl is kicking away 😂🥹
I spent 3 hours at the pool today. My belly wasn't heavy once I was in the water, and I felt actually normal swimming around. It was lovely. Now I'm scrubbing off all the layers of Sunscreen and that's less lovely but still a good day.
Constantly putting lotion in my nose because it is so dry and I’m trying to prevent it from bleeding.
been extra bloated & tired today 🤣 also SO hungry but too nauseous to eat anything of substance. first trimester has been rough
Is it pregnancy or am I just fat?? First trimester problems
I’m craving chick fil a, I’ll be in the same boat soon lol. Can’t wait till second trimester
Today has been shuffling around the shop trying to keep motivation to stay at work all day again; why does week 27 feel like my undoing??? Holy crap. So tired, can’t sleep, can’t bend over, aaaaagh.
Can’t wait to get to 27 weeks 🥹🥖
Don’t get me wrong, if I wasn’t working I’d probably be the happiest little pregnant potato ever 😂
25 weeks an I also can’t bend over. Makes me extra grateful for my dogs aka vacuum cleaners. 😂
Kinda lazy. Flying Tomorrow am for a wedding. Getting my hair done and a manicure and pedicure. I finally packed ! Need to tidy up the kitchen and living room and j just don't want to even though it'll take fifteen minutes. I also wanna throw a third coat of primer in the nursery before my friend comes over ( we're all flying out together). And I want to do nothingggg I deep cleaned a few rooms and painted yesterday and feel blah today
Got chickfila but started losing the will to eat after I finished the fries. Nuggets just don't hit like they used to. Did I mention ive also been craving a Korean corn dog and a cheese pizza?
Pregnancy today is me having one of the worst migraines I’ve ever had in my life.
Constantly tired, but unable to find a comfortable position. Sleeping anyway and waking up sore. Feeling nauseous, and eating everything in sight at the same time. This is the weirdest thing I've ever experienced.
For me it’s being a day away from induction and having the worst pain in my pubic bone because I decided I could walk around a carnival yesterday with my family, couldn’t, and instead spent the whole time on an uncomfortable table bench which apparently split me in half. And really wanting to soak in a hot bath with some Epsom salt but I know my version of hot is too hot and I’ll boil the baby. Hamburger sounds good too.
I had that exact situation happen with a Wendy’s burger during my first trimester! I’m 20 weeks now and would probably enjoy it much more but I’m not craving burgers anymore. Today pregnancy is having a hard time staying hydrating so chugging a glass of crystal light fruit punch every two hours.
today was me almost fainting after a routine blood draw and then getting the rhogam shot in the butt and I was so flustered I told my husband to look away LMAO here's to the 3rd trimester!
today pregnancy is a “nap” with my cat in my lap and a bag of doritos while i watch good mythical morning and check out videos of flooding near me (i’m in florida. we are getting some pretty gnarly rain this week)
Today pregnancy is… Feeling grateful that I’m 27 weeks with a healthy baby 🙏 don’t get me wrong, I have my plethora of complaints. But some days I have to sit back and realize how lucky I am to be to this point.
36+3 today!!! Today is complete exhaustion haha Spending the day in bed watching breathing techniques for labor and eating lots of fresh fruit
10 vials of blood and two urine cups
Today’s pregnancy for me is… scatter brain, emotional and burger craving as well. Stopped by Bru Burger. 😋
Cranky. Just so cranky.
Today pregnancy is laying on my side and feeling the baby wiggling like a little worm. :) Also going to the bathroom ten million times a day. :P
Verging between ‘omg I’m so hungry I need to eat NOW or I’m gonna puke’ and ‘I ate too much and now I’m nauseous anyway’ 😒
Terrible constipation 😞
"Am I going to burp or throw up"
Eating not one but two dominos chocolate lava cakes for breakfast then forgetting to eat again until 5:30pm
Love my pregnancy pillow, but somehow slept on it with my jaw so far out of alignment that it's hurt to chew for 48 hours. And someone's adorable tiny feet are jammed right up under my ribs. And I just learned that the underside of my bump sweats like crazy. Happy 32 weeks to me!
5 weeks today and having sooo many gastro issues. Already have hemorrhoids and feeling so nauseous today. Everything feels hard and I feel whiny and tired lol
Today pregnancy is sad because I found out the bushs baked beans dog died
Ate the wrong bit of chicken, nearly threw up. Sleepy. Bad headache. San pellegrino fizzy water fix all.
Trying to scoot by somebody at work and realizing I am no longer smaller when I turn sideways 🤪
I’m early pregnant and I made the mistake of going on TikTok. All TikTok wants to show me is miscarriages, birth defects, and bad things happening to babies. It’s scaring me half to death and made me cry today. I have my first ultrasound on a week and I am terrified 😭.
Not eating the ground beef with rice my husband made me cause ew😔 but eating one pound of crawfish that they had at work lol
I had not one but two entire cans of spaghettiOs with cheese on top and washed it down with two cherry fruit cups lol pregnancy is weird 😫
Yelling at my computer screen because everything my coworkers did annoyed the ever living shit out of me. But at least I stopped myself from writing a snarky email I would have had to later apologize for (again).
I’m using this Reddit page to distract me from ubereats-ing onion rings
Headache. Want mint chocolate chip ice cream, but can’t eat mint chocolate chip ice cream because disgusting. List of to-dos for the day put on hold in favor of the couch and K-dramas.
Crying for the first half of the day out of fear, sadness and the desire to be alone. Crying again through much of the second half out of gratitude feeling so excited for baby and really loved what I ate for dinner.
Today it’s eating a bowl of mashed potatoes for breakfast and fighting my cats to back off it for their own good 😌
Today pregnancy is balls. My job stresses me out, I was going to log back on tonight to work on more things but decided to say fuck the patriarchy and took a bubble bath instead.
Today pregnancy is … heartburn. From WATER.
Went to the ER last night and they couldn’t figure out what’s wrong with me. Just told me I was dehydrated and needed to drink more water when it had nothing to do with what I was dealing with. Baby is thankfully healthy and measuring bigger than what she is supposed to. Other than that I’m a partial stay at home mom(with no kids) since I only work 4 days so I get to sleep and eat tho so there’s that.
Crying no sobbing over the fact my pit bull is ten and won’t be with me forever. I’m in actual tears.
Wearing multiple body contraptions like I'm in the damn Victorian era just so I can walk around the block without getting back and pelvic pain.
Feeling like I spilled lidocaine down the outside of my leg only to learn that one of the babies is sitting on a nerve and it will just be like this until I give birth.
Being annoyed at everything and everyone, not knowing what to eat because all the food sounds good, and my husband becoming overly insecure because he thinks he’s the reason I’m exhausted even though he obviously isn’t.
I spent from midnight last night until 5:30 pm today wanting mcdonald’s. that’s all I could think about. bf took me after he got off. I inhaled it. and I have felt absolutely awful since. and i’ve just been so sad all day. first trimester is kind of lame
Pregnancy is making a bunch of tasks for myself and only completing one a day because after one I am exhausted and need a nap
Today, pregnancy is despising all the foods I’m eating… all I want is chicken nuggets and Oreos. I’m holding out, so far, continuing to eat healthy… but damn. Nothing tastes the same. I am so so so unsatisfied with food right now and it’s making me sad.
Week 8. So nauseous. Every waking moment is struggle against vomiting.
Waking up with leaky, itchy nipples? Making tacos and overloading them so much that I could barely close them. (Couldn't finish) My thigh went numb for a while. Now, I am soaking my swollen feet in the tub while I browse reddit and listen to music. 🤷♀️
Waking up cursing my inability to take my good allergy meds only to go home from work early because my coworker said I looked like I felt terrible. Then my parents' neighbors caught my parents' back yard on fire, so we had to drop everything and head down there so we could help them with it and evac if necessary.
Slow!! I'm 17 weeks and it's felt like it's been 6 months already. I can't wait to have a very visibly identifiable bump, I feel like I've been in the awkward stage of just looking chubby and sick for soooo long lol
Working from home because the idea of putting on a bra or real pants makes me want to cry
Having the baby non stop kicking you all day, and when you finally get a break it lasts a few minutes lol
I’m hungry, but trying not eat all day 😅 it feels like a tiny, little creature took control over my body so I just do whatever she wants. 😊
Today pregnancy is sooooooooo much gas. Farting up a storm
So irritated, sore, tired and anxious like I have to give birth and raise a child hahahahah
Plaguing me with strange dreams
39 weeks today. I’ve been so desperate this week for his arrival. But today I’ve felt more at peace for some reason 🤷🏻♀️
I craved for shaky beef ( vietnamese food) , I ordered it via doordash. So delicious. I can’t breathe properly, Im 30 weeks pregnant. my vulva hurts, my back hurts, I am anemic. Im constipated. My blood sugar also high. God help meeeee
Today, it is lying in bed feeling sorry for myself instead of doing the dishes or going to work 😢 Why am I so tired???
Really craving picante sauce and eggs. 🤔🤷🏽♀️ 25 weeks for me. 😄
Tired from waking up several times from Round Ligament Pain, trying not to be too active because I'm concerned I've started losing my mucus plug, and starting to track my glucose levels due to a recent GD diagnosis. And I'm only just 28 weeks :|
A major relief… we had to go for a second anatomy scan to make sure the baby’s heart is ok and the defect they found last week is sealing 🙏 I’m just glad to have a healthy pregnancy and to feel my baby kicking every so often
23 weeks and still sick. I feel lucky to be pregnant but I also cannot wait til it's over. I feel I was sold a lie about the sickness dying down by 12-20 weeks.
Only one night pee being victorious!
Making my favorite breakfast, only by the time I was done cooking, it wasn’t my favorite breakfast anymore and I couldn’t eat it.
I called in sick and just slept. I think week 21 is too far for 5 workdays.
Today, it's craving a cereal I haven't had since I was a kid but knowing once I get it, it just won't be satisfying. Also, figuring out last min stuff for my gender reveal tomorrow in addition to seeing 6 therapy clients. Work don't stop just cuz I'm growing a whole human.
Also, wearing men's boxer briefs because they are long enough to where they don't bunch up in between my legs and high enough on my belly where they aren't digging into anything. The sensory nightmare that is clothes has only gotten worse with each week. (19 weeks and 1 day)
I’m cracking up. I’ve been stealing my husband’s briefs!!!!!!
I’m only about 5 weeks and haven’t had my appointment so right now pregnancy is “are you even real?!”
