Ok ladies - fess up! What pregnancy things are rapidly filling up your Google history?

I thought this paired nicely with our first TMI Tuesday

mrsbubbles-2 · December 2017

Besides the standard How big is my baby stuff I've Googled:

High blood sugar sign of early pregnancy
out of breath early pregnancy
twitchy eyelid sign of pregnancy (see the rabbit hole, here?)

What does an ultrasound look like at 8w
cardio for pregnancy
best nursing bras
fish to eat during pregnancy

Clearly I need to step away from the Google for a hot minute

boymom4eva · December 2017

Can early pregnancy make you poop more? Lol I've NEVER gone this much in my life.

brzvice · December 2017

Last night I googled about the pregnancy hormone relaxin because science y'all

jsnakehole · December 2017

It's a 50/50 split between what I can and can't eat and what symptoms are normal.

Every slight fluctuation in boob pain or change in cramping is treated with the utmost suspicion.

msmonalisavito · December 2017

I've been Googling little girl bedrooms. We are having our two oldest start to share so I want to make it super cute for them. Of course, DD1 wants a Descendants theme and I shot that down. No character themes for us!

lakesideknitter · December 2017

@msmonalisavito Ugh, Descendants. Haven't seen it, but the commercials for it make me cringe. I also hate character-themed anything. I swear my mom ONLY buys clothing for DS if it has a cartoon character on it.

I've been googling nursing clothing. I'm not buying any more maternity clothing this time around, but I do want to have more easy nursing stuff, so I'm looking for things that are highly-rated. Etsy actually has a ton of stuff. I had never thought to look there before. If anyone has something they loved, I'd appreciate the recommendation! I'm looking for mostly casual/athletic wear.

mdc2013 · December 2017

So far mine has been morning sickness relief. 6 weeks hit and so did the nausea and vomiting!

ecwk · December 2017

Toddler jumping on pregnant belly

Peppermint tea pregnant

Preparation H pregnant

How much earlier do you show in second pregnancy

mrsbubbles-2 · December 2017

@boymom4eva - LOL! Is it your prenatal? I think some of them have extra fiber?

@brzvice - YES to the science! but relaxin has made my hip joints its bitch lately so I'm a little mad at it.

@msmonalisavito - Is there a color scheme or something that is Descendants-ish without being so obvious?

@lakesideknitter - I mostly lived in old navy nursing tanks and yoga pants so I don't have any recommendations -I have heard awesome reviews about the Kindred line though, have you looked into those? And I hadn't even thought of looking on etsy!

@mdc2013 - I'm sorry about the nausea. Have you found anything that helps? Asking for a friend...

@ecwk - I cringed at your first one - ouch! You ok? And I feel like I'm so much more bloated with this pregnancy - like so much that when I do announce at work they'll be like yea we've known for months.

@jsnakehole - yup! Ugh with the fluctuating symptoms!

msmonalisavito · December 2017

@mrsbubbles-2 I could probably do decor in purple/silver/gold but I don't know if I'm feeling that. I'm hoping I can find some cute pictures I can show her that she'll like.

ecwk · December 2017

@mrsbubbles-2 lol yes I'm fine. My toddler is rather rambunctious. He likes to climb all over me and jump too. I figure it's fine, my uterus is still well protected below my pubic bone anyway! And he's not *that* rough. Although just now I stretched forward to grab him and feel like I pulled a muscle in my vag

fishee333 · December 2017

@ecwk lol I have googled that as well. My toddler loves climbing and jumping on me too. I've started to use a pillow to protect myself and she doesn't really like that

Firemanswife11 · December 2017

Variations of "is ______ normal in early pregnancy?" and "what can I take for nausea because I'm pretty sure I didn't drink but I feel super hungover in early pregnancy." lol

LC12261012 · December 2017

@lakesideknitter I have a few things from latched mama which I loved, my fav being one of their nursing dresses. Some of the stuff is ugly imo, but some things are cute, functional, and well made.

offtoneverland · December 2017

@mrsbubbles-2 I also googled yesterday about whether it was normal to feel breathless in early pregnancy. I felt out of breath just doing the dishes!

TMI: Today pretty much as soon as DH and I were done having sex I googled "cramps during orgasm in early pregnancy."

It was the first time I've had cramping so far and it made me nervous. I was also really mad at Google for autocorrecting it to 'orgasim.' Google needs to learn how to spell! FYI: Dr. Google says the cramping was normal.

dirtanddiamonds · December 2017

Baby boutiques in Florida. Lol. Hoping to find some cute stuff to buy while on vacay. I love finding homey non-chain boutiques.

neeraja_k · December 2017

@offtoneverland During my first pregnancy being I remember being so freaked out by the cramps post orgasm, and then I'd spot for a day or two afterwards as well. So it's understandable to be nervous. I'm still nervous about it with this pregnancy, as well, but neither he nor I can live as monks. Lol

hardlyhannah · December 2017

*TW* My googling is darker. I am paranoid lately about MMC so keep looking it up. I’ll feel better Friday once we see the bean for the first time. I have no history of loss, only Infertility issues but it still freaks me out

offtoneverland · December 2017

@hardlyhannah Nooo! Don't go down that dark rabbit hole! Good luck at your appointment on Friday. FX for you!

I love the descendants, I was Uma for Halloween. Not sure I would want a bedroom themed it, but I think the suggestions of using the colors is a good suggestion. How old are the girls?

ecwk · December 2017

@hardlyhannah

me too!!! Idk why I keep torturing myself, I've been reading some awful things.

@offtoneverland in third tri last pregnancy my whole bump would go rock hard post orgasm. Freaked me out!

Edit because the bump keeps effing up my autocorrect (for instance it just now changed "my" to "NTNP" and "changed" to "comes". WTAF.)

meeks2020 · December 2017

@ecwk yesss to the toddler jumping question! It seems like magically he decided he wants to kick and jump on my belly and pelvis.
Also a lot of googling "is ______ safe to eat or drink"
It stinks my appointment isn't until January 30th so I can't ask the Dr about my dumb questions like decaf coffee ect.

hardlyhannah · December 2017

@meeks2020 do hey have MyChart or something where you can email them questions one off?

meeks2020 · December 2017

@hardlyhannah maybe? I've never seen a Dr in this town but I imagine they do. I'm unsure if I could send questions to them since I haven't seen them yet?

They are 6 and almost 3.

I can’t imagine that they would be unwilling to answer your questions as you’re establishing a relationship in the coming weeks. I would call and see. Worst they can do is say no. Tell the nurse you’ve been googling, they’ll take your questions right away lol

hezzer78 · December 2017

@meeks2020 I'm googling a lot of "safe to eat" questions too. That and about symptoms coming and going, and about side effects of progesterone suppositiories have been in my google searches...

thshaw · December 2017

Mostly "is ____ safe to eat during pregnancy" or questions about how many appointments I should have since I'm AMA. In my opinion if you're going to label me as a geriatric pregnancy I should get more appointments early on =/.

alinafed · December 2017

Recently I've been googling about being super cold always during pregnancy. I can't tell if it's because my new office building is freezing and the house we just moved into a couple months ago is an older, bigger home, or if it's pregnancy related. I think we need warmer curtains in our master bedroom because there are massive windows in it and I can feel the chill coming from them at night.

Also Google told me it could be all kinds of bad things if pregnancy is making me cold so I'm hoping it's just the cold workplace and bedroom lol.

melbel0824 · December 2017

@alinafed I’m always cold too but I didn’t think to google it. Now I’m too scared to! Lol.

All of my googling has been about what’s safe to eat or take during pregnancy. Pretty boring and typical.

lakesideknitter · December 2017

^^^this!

hannerbananers · December 2017

Does Zofran cause constipation?

Ugh seriously! Didn't poop for five days, thought I was going to die

neeraja_k · December 2017

@hannerbananers Yup! My OB and GP both warned me about Zofran's constipation side effects. GP, who is a relatively new mother herself, who took it as well, said I could cut the pills into quarters and take them as needed to knock the vomiting back with less constipation, rather than the whole pill which is often overkill.

I'm just finishing up 5w5d, and so far what rare nausea I have is fixed with saltines and ginger. But I have the Zofran ready to go.

neeraja_k · December 2017

My current Google searches are pertaining dental work while pregnant. I've got an old composite filling scheduled to be replaced on Jan 12th and I'm finding conflicting information on whether I should just proceed with the procedure, or wait till the second trimester.

I already have a peculiar mouth in that I require 2-3x more anesthetic to effectively numb things. The last one I had done just before finding out I was pregnant I wasn't even completely numb for, I just told him to start drilling because I was tired of being stuck and waiting.

hezzer78 · December 2017

@neeraja_k I went in for a cleaning yesterday and the hygenist told me I needed to wait until 2nd tri before they would do it. Every dentist may be different, and mine may just be cautious, but you may need to wait a bit longer before dental work...

ecwk · December 2017

Also need dental work! I need a crown and I need to have wisdom teeth pulled in order to get the crown. Not sure when I'll be able to get all that done now!
