pregnancy

(Repost from r/parenting) Due to a condom malfunction we did not even know of, I (F41) find myself pregnant with our sixth child. We were 100% done when we had number five. We thought we were done with number four but obviously there was still room for another, this time we were utterly...

This is my second pregnancy- first was normal and I exercised up until the day I delivered. That was 2 years ago. Now pregnant with my second, and my crotch bones(? Like the bottom of my pelvis, between my legs, but the bone part) ache like I’ve been spending too much time on a bike (I haven’t...

First time MBT at 25+0, daily bike commuter 20 miles a day with a pedal assist ebike. I’ve noticed ever since hitting 20 weeks that the increased blood volume is smacking me in the face, and I’m relying on the e-assist much more than before. Did any of you make it all the way through your...

Hi all! My daughter is 10 months and I just found out I was pregnant again. I had recently purchased Vital Performance pre-workout supplement, but I’m not certain it’s safe for pregnancy. (See ingredient list below) If anyone has taken it during pregnancy let me know! Do you all have any...

Hi everyone. I went for my first internal scan today I thought I was 7+1 but turns out I’m actually 5+5 which is a little further behind than I thought. My LMP was tracked so I know it’s correct however I’m not sure on ovulation dates. The sonographer seems like everything is fine and reassured...

I haven’t had any problems in my pregnancy. I’m 26 weeks, BP has always been great, no GD, the only thing recently was diagnosed with anemia after my GD test that I took at 26 weeks. But my most recent ultrasound at 24 weeks (a follow up to my anatomy scan bc they couldn’t get all the pictures...

[ 24 yo/f ] I am really struggling accepting my body. I have been in a deep depression about my body and just stopped caring or really putting in effort to fix it because I knew it wouldn’t be immediate results. I haven’t been eating right or taking care of my body like I should. I’m asking for...

I’m 16 weeks. Before getting pregnant I was training for a half marathon. I worked out 4x a week and I stuck to my schedule religiously. Now I just don’t have the energy at all. People kept telling me that the 1st trimester I was going to be exhausted and the 2nd trimester I would get better...

Hi all! I just found out I’m pregnant, only 4 weeks and 4 days. I’m a plus size gal, 5’6”, 275 pounds, size 20. While I’m so excited to experience pregnancy and have this baby, I can’t help but feel a little self conscious that I won’t have a pregnancy belly and won’t even look pregnant for...

People keep telling me I will “bounce back” because I’m working out through pregnancy. But I just spoke with someone on my bump group who said she was lean/shredded prior to pregnancy, worked out through pregnancy and after and never ended up bouncing back. So second third whatever time parents...

Did you use silicone bandages to help with scarring? Was your belly an issue? I’m just curious if it’s worth investing in some of the silicone bandages

I am 20w+4 and have my 20 week anatomy scan today…. And I’m so anxious I can’t sit still. I have heard so many moms say that it’s beautiful and you finally get to really see your baby but I’ve heard so many others say that this scan is when they got bad news. I’m typically anxious before...

First pregnancy, clearly no clue what it takes to take care of a 4 week old. My husband has registered for a trail race that will take him out for about 48 hours. One month after my due date. He asked me before he registered and since we’ve both been adamant about keeping our hobbies and fitness...
