Pregnant girl confessions

baker1jm2 · March 2017

I have 2...totally cried when my husband finished the chocolate milk last night. And I may or may not have slightly over exaggerated nausea so I could hide out upstairs while he dealt with our irrational toddler. #sorrynotsorry. What are your confessions?

DuchessOfCambridge · March 2017

The day before I got my BFP I cried too hard over my friend telling me her husband is probably going to surprise her by singing to her at their wedding (they got married a few years ago but never got to have a proper wedding). Just thinking about the sweetness made me awkwardly cry in front of her...

Also, there's a 100% chance I'm going to keep POAS until my appt with my PCP next Monday.

Tourmalily · March 2017

I'm buying more tests tonight so I can keep testing. It's the only thing that makes me feel less anxious, lol. The feeling when that second line shows up.... The relief is palpable.

DuchessOfCambridge · March 2017

@Tourmalily I'm very happy to hear that, because it makes me feel less crazy. I took two tests yesterday just in case the FMU was a fluke. I took another around 5 pm that made me feel muuuuch better. Glad I'm not the only one!

jess0211 · March 2017

@DuchessOfCambridge you're not crazy at all. As soon as I get home I am POAS just to relieve my anxiety. And I may have pics of BFPs on my phone just so I can look at them when I start to doubt myself. Yup, I keep pics of things I peed on on my phone. Judge away.

DuchessOfCambridge · March 2017

@jess0211 I may have pics on my phone too...

SarahEmmons330 · March 2017

@baker1jm2 I feel ya! My son is 18 months and all weekend I laid on the couch and milked the whole miserable and pregnant thing!

JulesDP · March 2017

@jess0211 No judgements here! I have about 3 billion pictures of +opks and bfps on my phone

kschref · March 2017

Right before bedtime, we do "Snuggle in Mommy's bed!" and all pile into the bed, cuddle up, and watch about 15-20 minutes of something before we brush teeth. I have seen the first 20 minutes of Moana approximately 500 times now.

Last night I burst into tears at some random spot. I actually do tear up easily at children's movies for whatever reason, but typically I reach some sort of desensitization. Not this week, apparently.

ArtificialRed · March 2017

@jess0211, @DuchessOfCambridge, @JulesDP, yep, I have some on my phone too! I'm terrified of somehow accidentally sending them to someone, or someone somehow seeing them. But I'm definitely not ready to delete them yet.

Confession: I just had a huge snack and I really just want to eat more of it and not bother making dinner.

janvier112 · March 2017

I also have my POAS photos saved on my phone, and I printed them out for my "pregnancy scrapbook"

slaven · March 2017

I have my BFP pictures on my phone too.
I also exaggerate my exhaustion to get DH to walk to dogs for me. Unless someone is actually out of the house, he'll walk the sheltie while I take the maltese out. She pees and poops and then I just carry her back in but it's cold out at night. He has to walk the sheltie for an actual walk and then come back in and get the little one because she doesn't do walks.
And I totally had a dream last night that I had an ultrasound and got to see the sac and everything was healthy which made me happy cry when I woke up.

Tourmalily · March 2017

Oh my god you all make me feel so normal I thought I was nuts

kelleyE3812 · March 2017

I too pee on all the sticks continuously. I may also have pictures of multiple said pee sticks in dpo order to make sure I see a progession of the lines. I also may look up other peoples tests to see if my lines look as dark on dpo. I am ao anxious and idk why

thj101 · March 2017

*raises hand* also, a POAS addict. I have pictures, and I have dated them and saved them in an empty makeup pouch I had lying around... why? I have no idea....

RiverSong15 · March 2017

I may or may not have a ziploc bag under my bathroom sink with HPTs with dates and DPO on them.... Add me to the list...lol

DuchessOfCambridge · March 2017

Just did my daily morning test haha. It calms my nerves so much to see it positive first of all, and then to see it darkening. DH and I told our parents last night! They are really excited

baker1jm2 · March 2017

You guys are making me feel like I need to go buy more tests haha..I haven't taken one in over 2 weeks

heatherdubrow · March 2017

@DuchessOfCambridge we already told my parents too! So fun! Will this be their first grandchild?

DuchessOfCambridge · March 2017

@heatherdubrow yes! It's the first grandchild on both sides so they're all pretty pleased

My mom apparently had a few dreams recently where I told her I was pregnant

heatherdubrow · March 2017

@DuchessOfCambridge that's awesome! And keep peeing on sticks if it gives you peace of mind!

av2323 · March 2017

I am also addicted to POAS. I've learned to hide it because DH keeps asking why I'm coming home with them every day. I have a huge plastic bag of used pregancy tests on the back of my toilet because I can't bring myself to throw them away.

Tourmalily · March 2017

@av2323 oh my God you are describing my life

kschref · March 2017

My husband does the trash on Monday nights. When he came to bed he said, "Don't worry, I left all your tests on the counter." He gets me.

Also, today I look like death warmed over. Son was jumping on my while I was drying my hair so it looks crazy and I was up half the night being sick. My face is super pale and blotchy and just ugh. Luckily, today the only place we have to go is the allergist to pick up my son's allergy drops. We just found out he is allergic to every dang thing, so hopefully these will help after a time. Not looking forward to going out in public looking like this but generally carrying two toddlers into places with me is a pretty good deterrent to any side eye I might get, lol.

True love.

Also, I too have pics on my phone, and still have my digi sitting on the bathroom counter. I did put it in the trash last night. Then dug it right back out this morning!!! I just can't let it go yet. This journey has been difficult with so many friend announcing this past year while we've been TTC, and I don't think I'll give it up until I have my first US pic.

BayCamp · March 2017

I ordered my first baby-related item today. It was a Detroit Tigers maternity shirt that says "future Tigers fan" since we're doing our announcement photo at a Tigers Spring Training game.

We waited until after our first US with DS to buy anything and now the superstitious part of me has had the anxiety level cranked up ever since. I feel like I jinxed myself.

jess0211 · March 2017

I totally just started crying during an active shooter training at work. Luckily I was sitting in the back.

I am also eating all the food today. @adirat I ended up eating the sandwich (plus some), it was delicious.

ArtificialRed · March 2017

It was only sheer willpower to not ruin my eyeliner that kept me from crying while I made my son's lunch because it smelled really good and I used to love it before I went gluten free.

heatherdubrow · March 2017

@ArtificialRed I'm mostly gluten free (with the occasional cheat!) do you have celiac? I tested negative for it but still just feel better not eating gluten

NYTino24 · March 2017

I am POAS and temping. I will probably keep temping for most of my first tri.

I confess that I did very little work today between sheer exhaustion and playing phone tag with doctors throughout the day. I just kept stuffing my face all day to keep myself going. Luckily all I had was fruits, salad, and water. I gained way too fast last time!

ArtificialRed · March 2017

@heatherdubrow I have hashimotos (the autoimmune disease that attacks your thyroid and makes you hypothyroid). It's recommended by a lot of the more holistic doctors to go gf. I lowered my antibodies (not to the normal range, but still much lower), was easily able to keep my weight down, and also cleared up some nasty brain fog by going gf. I never cheat because I'm terrified of remembering how good it is and it becoming a trend for me. I went vegan really slowly and still have trouble saying no to Reese's cups, so I know my willpower is best if I don't test it lol

Sorry, that was kind of a novel.

heatherdubrow · March 2017

@ArtificialRed that makes total sense! I find my pcos is much better when I'm gf.

I save all my hpt's, they're in my bathroom drawer neatly labeled by dpo and date. So I have about 20 of them so far right now, after only four days, because PGAL brain is making me crazy.

hopeful87-2 · March 2017

So glad to know I'm not alone with my POAS addiction. The struggle is real! During my last pregnancy I had Crazy strong craving. I never eat fast food but for about a month Wendys home style chicken sandwich was all I could think about eating. I haven't had one for over two years when I was last pregnant... Until today.... Mentally I justified eating this fast food by blaming it on the pregnancy. Honestly though, I have no cravings or aversions right now. I feel totally normal. I just wanted an excuse to eat Wendy's.....

elsieisamoocow · March 2017

@cnf2013 I have all of mine too. Labeled with the date and time of day. Still have the ones from my first two pregnancies too.

theearlymajority · March 2017

@NYTino24 I also confess that I also have done remarkably little at work for the past couple days. It's not an especially busy time for us anyway, but either way my productivity is definitely lower than usual. Haha...oops.

DuchessOfCambridge · March 2017

Last night I noticed my stomach sticking out and was all "awww" and then remembered it was just a food baby from dinner.

kschref · March 2017

I just ate way too much chocolate. I haven't kept anything down in a couple days, so dangit, I'm going to eat chocolate.

jess0211 · March 2017

I POAS .... again.

captainfoxtrot · March 2017

I am also peeing on a stick every morning - have them all taped together and labeled...sshhh...

ArtificialRed · March 2017

I've managed to skip a day or two for poas, but I found out last night that I have one of those magical brands of internet cheapies that the test line can get darker than the control.. so naturally I had to use another this morning because that made me really, really happy. (Mine are also taped to an index card and labeled)
