Pregnancy

DON’T JOIN THEM.

I was so excited when I found out I was pregnant that I joined an April 2020 Rainbow baby Facebook group and then I joined a Babies Due in April/May group. Let me just tell you that those women get annoying and you get paranoid.

I’m currently 25weeks and about a week ago I left all my baby groups for a few reasons.

1. They ask the most dumb questions.

They like to ask if it’s normal to feel baby kick all the time. “Well duh Karen. I don’t think feeling you’re baby move is bad.” 🙄

2. They post discharge pictures 🤢

Does this discharge look bad? Should I go to the Emergency Room just Incase it’s not good? 🤦‍♀️ 🗣 “Call the on call nurse or just go to the ER!!”

3. Some of them think they know better than you because they have already been pregnant or because their mom, sister or best friend told them.

AGAIN…..🗣 CALL 👏 YOUR 👏DOCTOR/MIDWIFE 👏 Unless you know someone close to you who specializes in this area they only know from experience or what they’ve been told.

4. A good amount of them will have a miscarriage.

This is the easiest way to scare yourself. In one of my groups 5 women gave birth to their babies and they passed away. It’s sad and being pregnant already gives you an unnecessary amount of emotions.

5. They love to complain about their significant others. Some even man hate.

👏EV👏ER👏Y👏ONE HAS ISSUES WITH THEIR SIGNIFICANT OTHERS. GO TALK TO THEM ABOUT IT.

August 19, 2019 I found out I was pregnant.

My husband and I had just moved to Alaska and he one day asked when I was supposed to start my period. So I look at my period app and realize I’m late but I had a miscarriage that February and my period had been off since so I wasn’t concerned.

He told me I needed to take a test so we go buy a test and as soon as I get home I take the test. Low and Behold it comes out positive.

I go into the kitchen and this is how the conversation goes.

Me: Im pregnant.

Husband: *raises eyebrows* that’s going to be expensive.

Me: *blankly staring at him* a few seconds go by* That’s all you have to say? Are you excited?

Husband: Yeah, I’m excited. It’s just going to be expensive. *he said all this in that holy shit tone*

Mind you we weren’t planning to get pregnant but we also weren’t preventing it but just be aware that all those videos of husbands getting excited about you getting pregnant are rare or for couples that have been trying for a long time.

I’m starting this blog as something fun to read and because it’s my first pregnancy. Yes, EVERY pregnancy is different. I’m writing from what I’ve been experiencing and what people don’t like to share with you about being pregnant.

If you have an issue with anything I write about, stop reading and find another blog to read. This is a fun zone not a Debbie downer zone.

I’m not a doctor, nurse or midwife so don’t take any of my medical stuff seriously. If you choose to do that then don’t come to me when it doesn’t come out the way you thought.

Lastly, and I’ll say this a thousand times EVERY PREGNANCY IS DIFFERENT.

How you look and feel pregnant.
