This is totally me . My body isn’t even that big, but I already feel so stretched out that I can’t even fathom getting any bigger than I am now 😫

Help with Naming Baby PLEASE!

Hello! I have looked at every list online and we cannot find a name we love. Does anyone have any ideas or lists that helped them or anything we can do to find one we love? We are having a girl. I am hoping for a unique name but not too unique- if that makes any sense🤣🙏🏻

My daughter’s name is Eliza and I still love it because everyone has heard it and has no issue pronouncing it but we have yet to meet another Eliza. I also have an Edith who we call Edie. I know Edith is not everyone’s style but Edie would be fun on its own. I also love Estella/Estelle, Isabel, Louisa (nickname Lou or Lulu), Etta, Elodie, Ariel, Amelia.

Gestational diabetes: what do I do?

I just got a phone call from my doctors office informing me that 2 out of the 4 blood samples I provided during my 3-hour glucose test were elevated. My doctor wants me to monitor my blood sugars for 7 days with a glucometer and follow up with her after the 7 days.This is my first time failing my 3-hour test (previous 2 pregnancies my 1-hour came back slightly elevated but the 3-hour tests have been fine). I’m obviously worried 🥲. Should I cut out sugars completely now or wait until my follow up? As much as I want to just quit cold turkey, I feel that if I do, my results may be skewed. I will admit that with this pregnancy I have eating more sweets than with my other two because that’s all I crave. I definitely plan on drastically limiting the sweets I have for the next 7 days, but I don’t know if I should cut them out completely now or wait for my follow up. Please help!

Do what you did normally, ultimately if you have GD after diagnosed they will ask you to change your diet and limit things, but a normally functioning placenta won’t throw your numbers and your body should be able to combat anything you’re eating regardless of how much sugar if it’s just normal diet and not like a whole pie. Now if even after eating normal meals your sugar is remaining high after 2 hours you definitely have GD.

Painful baby movements???

So I’m 29 weeks with my 2nd baby & when she moves around it does NOT feel good at all. It’s moderately painful & extremely uncomfortable. I didn’t have this issue with my first so I’m just wondering if anyone else experiences this?? I have an appointment next week so I’ll be able to ask if it’s normal but god this is so strange.

Yeah I’m not google eyes over my baby’s movement either— it’s uncomfortable and I wish he’d stay still 😑

Anyone else struggling to gain weight?

I am almost 28 weeks and I’ve barely gained 7lbs (I had Covid at 13 weeks and a stomach virus at 18 weeks) . We have done growth ultrasounds and baby is a little small but only by like 5 days. I feel like I’m eating a ton and just can’t seem to gain This is my fifth baby so I have some excess weight on me but not a lot. I’m 5’4” and started at 155 and now 162. It makes me feel like I’m failing baby cuz I know I need some more weight gain and dr is starting to get concerned. Am I alone? Anyone else struggling with this? 27 weeks here. Belly obviously there lol

My docs are not concerned with my weight so much as the baby’s. She was a little behind in weight at our 28 wk scan, so we will have another at 32 wks. She is still measuring in the 15th percentile for weight and they said she may just be smaller than my last two (both ended up being 9+lb babies) but they told me to make sure I was eating calorie dense healthy foods to help give her a boost over the next few weeks. 🤞🏻🤞🏻

I must be the odd man out. Had to do the three hour, and I didn’t think it was as terrible as everyone made it out to be. But I was lucky to get the lemon-lime drink the first time, and then fruit punch the second time. Just tasted extra sugary, and as soon as I was done I grabbed something to eat and drink and felt fine the rest of the day.

I play that same game. Every evening before I get in the shower I do an inspection looking for stretch marks. I really thought one indentation was a stretch mark and made my husband look at it lol.

Anyone else excited to give birth?

I am 28 weeks and 3 days and I am so over this pregnancy. I am honestly Looking forward to giving birth. I am wishing myself a healthy and happy vaginal labour and delivery. I’m excited to see the face of the baby who’s been causing me all these back aches and nausea the entire 9 months haha. Plus I’m excited for other two children to meet their sibling. My daughter has been obsessed with babies so I know for sure she’s going to be excited.

Definitely me. I had a very traumatic first birth with my son in the middle of Covid. He was my second baby first pregnancy (I have a step daughter). I get so excited thinking about my kids meeting their brother in the hospital the way I wanted the first go around. I pray I’ll have a vaginal delivery and it’ll be safe and the baby will be as well. I have had a hard time connecting with this baby just because of my last experience but boy am I excited to meet him.

Big rant srry, I just feel so burned up.

I’m so tired and I hope I’m not alone in this. I have one week of work left until my unpaid leave finally! I have a job that I can’t continu past 30 weeks because it physically to intense and no way of getting altered conditions as a freelancer. Anyway I just feel burned up, everyday I wake up tired and stressed about everything that still has to be done and a bit scared I will go into early labor or my water will break early because of all the stress! I have a 19 month old girl that has decided to have some kind of baby puberty all of a sudden, the last month she went from an easygoing girl who slept amazing into a little raging banshee every time something is not going her way or purposely cry’s until she is totally erratic refusing to sleep while she has eye bags as big as pillows! On top of that we are from start to finish of my pregnancy buried in a hell of a renovation of our downstairs living area. For the last 5 weeks I have been living with my daughter upstairs in two bedrooms while my SO is going full-on Bob the builder mode which he needs to do to get everything finished on time! I haven’t enjoyed pregnancy at all this time, I feel alone, I have only worked or cared for our daughter had no time to even really prepare for our second and constantly waiting for things to get done so I can do something to prepare! With our first we selected our baby’s first things so carefully, did a hypnobirthing course together with so much love and now I’m just ordering everything from the internet out of ease to just get it done but also have no place to put it because the room to make is only available once we go downstairs again! And now I have broken down twice this week, my daughter was sick and she made me sick as well. We both have a heavy case of the flu and a sore throat! I had to ask my mother for help and my SO to stop working because I was on the verge of fainting and their help is just not enough for that one day or one hour. I feel burned up like I can’t recharge and have so much to do! I need to do some work that I have to finish at home for my last assignment next week and I just haven’t had the strengt to do it, every time I want to I have my daughter crying and needing extra attention. Sometimes I even feel like it’s my fault and she’s feeling what I’m feeling and it makes me even feel worse not being a good enough mom right now. Anyway I can keep writhing on and on but I just needed to get this of my chest while my SO is drilling holes in the wall… 🤯

IS IT JUST ME !

Idk if it’s just me but feel free to let me know if I’m not ! It would probably make me feel a lot better ! I’m 30 weeks I weight 206 pounds this is my 4th baby . BUT my 3rd time with gestational diabetes ONLY this time I’m on insulin . I GET told more then enough “oh your so Tiny “ “is the baby even in there” “your smaller this go round “ are you okay “ your loosing weight “ okay look idk if it’s just me but that makes me feel like CRAP and it makes me worry of course it’s my body I see the difference I did with all my pregnancies but what makes it right to say anything about a pregnant women weight ! I go to the doctor never miss an appointment they say I’m fine baby is fine she’s about 2 pounds maybe … 3 now I’m always asking questions like is she okay but sheesh ! STOP TALKING ABOUT PREGNANT WOMEN WEIGHT! Big , small , whatever we go threw enough and the last thing we wanna hear is something about weight ! I’m Nina 30 weeks we can be mommy Friends 💖💖💖
