Randoms Week of 07/04/16

Schumerator · July 2016

I saw that there was not a randoms thread for this week, and I know it's a little late, but I thought I'd get one going!

Share any and all random thoughts that pop into your head

baby related, or not!

Schumerator · July 2016

Aaaaand secretly I wanted a place to ask some opinions but didn't feel the need to start my own thread

I'll start us off! Thoughts on getting your hair colored during pregnancy?? I have an appointment in August and I want to cancel it, but the last few times I've talked to my hair dresser (she knows we were wanting to have a baby) she swears up and down that it is not an issue... buuuuut it's kind of her job and the way she makes money so I don't know what to think! I'm a semi-crunchy person and to me it just doesn't seem like it would be the BEST thing to add those chemicals into my system. SO I just wanted to hear other people's thoughts on the matter

I know many friends who have dyed their hair and they were fine...especially highlights because they don't really touch the scalp. I have an appointment coming up in a couple weeks and feel like I want to keep it.

SandwichLover · July 2016

@Schumerator are you getting highlights or full color? I went to my first DR appointment last week, just with the nurse, and she said not to worry about getting highlights. I also think that as long as it doesn't touch your scalp, I don't think it can be absorbed into you. I will probably get my highlights touched up while PG - that being said, I may wait until second tri even though the nurse told me it was ok any time.

I was just thinking about this because I had my hair done in April but I noticed a few grays yesterday morning, I got a balayage color so o wouldn't have to go back soon but I can't do grays, I'm only 27! I may have to just add highlights instead of redoing the entire top part to hide the gray.

PattersRN · July 2016

I just started having a problem where NOTHING sounds good to eat. I went from eating all the things to just not wanting anything. I've been getting morning sickness, but that's usually gone by about 9am. These food aversions seems to be lasting throughout the day and don't really trigger any nausea. I'm really perplexed by this.

Schumerator · July 2016

Thanks guys! That's a good point maybe I'll just wait til the second trimester. I get blonde highlights and my hair is a light brown. I knew I should have tried to go more natural last time! Boooo

@Schumerator unless you are going for something extreme, professional haircolor is safe during pregnancy. Don't do on the scalp bleach for an hour but the rest is good to go:) Don't what makes you feel gorgeous, just make sure the room is well ventilated. (Stylist of 8 yrs)

Mack2342 · July 2016

I had my hair highlighted with first pregnancy and will be getting it highlighted again in the next week. I have heard from several stylists and my doctor that hair dye today is fine for pregnant women.

Schumerator · July 2016

So maybe I was just being a little over cautious! I'm glad to hear everyone else say it's fine

thanks everybody!

@PattersRN oh lawd! That sounds like a whirl wind! I just got a huge wave of nausea at the gym on the tread mill, and I was working out with my friend who doesn't know and I was like ahhh I can't leave she will be like wtf, so I just fought through it lol. The struggle is reallllll

mittenlove86 · July 2016

Why is it that ever since in got my BFP I have had someone ask me if I am pregnant EVERY DAY. Come on people, that's not just something you ask a girl. I'm not gonna be like, "yeah you know what, I am. But I'm glad that you, random person, are the first person I told after my husband"

AverageAsh · July 2016

I may have over done it on the dry shampoo and now I can't escape the smell of my own head.

Schumerator · July 2016

@mittenlove86 seriously! I eventually (even before I was KU) started saying no I'm actually on my period, even if I wasn't, because when I said no I'm not pregnant they would say but maybe you COOOOULD be! I was like good god give it a rest! The period talk made them stop asking usually

@AverageAsh there's a such thing as too much dry shampoo???

Schumerator · July 2016

So when the effff does the urge to pee on things end?! I've taken another test every morning, and this morning the first response rapid response (today is the day AF is due) was still light. I wasn't going to take a digital today but decided to because I've just been freaking out about the lines not getting much darker, and it finally showed up "pregnant 1-2 weeks" which made me feel a lot better. But for those few minutes between the first test and second test I was almost angry at myself for testing so early, but I am donnnnnne after today! No more tests! But I just want to urge to go away lol

Scarlett830 · July 2016

@Schumerator With my first pregnancy I was manic and tested every few days for a couple of weeks, to be honest. With this one I tested maybe 3 days in a row after the initial BFP and then I was good. Mostly I just wanted the high of seeing that second line again. Although I did just take a CB digi with weeks estimator 2 days ago just because I found it under my bathroom sink and didn't want to waste it. It said 3+ weeks, and I won't test again.

SandwichLover · July 2016

@Schumerator @Scarlett830 I totally tested again this morning. I've been watching the CB digi go up. It said 3+ weeks this morning, last week 2-3, so I'm going to try to stop now.

I need this urge to stop too!! I keep peeing on things even though I've already had betas. I told myself this morning was the last one...not holding my breath on that. Maybe in a couple weeks I'll do another weeks estimator, for science.

Huzzah for science!

Schumerator · July 2016

@Scarlett830 @SandwichLover @houseofsetters whew! Ok so I'm not alone lol. And yes in the name of science I plan to use my other digital next weekend, ya know, because I have it. I just seriously had an minor (internal) freak out with the first test. I'm planning to tell my mother tomorrow and I was like WHY WOULD I DO THAT?! But I think I'm feeling ok about it now. Plus I wouldn't want to have to untell her if something did go wrong, without her knowing previously. I think the prevalence of MC's and knowing several friends who have had them just have my brain all messed up.

Gators&BoSox · July 2016

@PattersRN I had this issue with my first pregnancy. The only thing that sounded tolerable was Chicken Ramen Noodles (#1 health food on the planet ) I had to force myself to eat anything else and tell myself it was for the baby. It went away after a few weeks.. I had the same problem last night trying to figure out what to make for dinner.. hang in there!
