Favourite books are faction (fiction based on fact) and fantasy based on real world (something you can imagine yourself in). I watch all movies but really don't like scary movies anymore. We have been trying to watch "The Unholy" and I'm only able to handle about 20 mins each time haha.

๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ป๐๐/๐ฅ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐: Rants: if men had babies, they would get the entire pregnancy off on paid leave.

Movies: I really just love movies- if itโs good, Iโll appreciate it no matter the genre. We have a membership at our local theater and back before COVID, we used to see a movie at least once a week, sometimes more!ย

๐๐ผ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ด?: Physically, bloated and constipated. The nausea has calmed down majorly, though I still feel a little weird after I eat or if I get too hungry. Emotionally, getting more excited but still nervous about "starting over" with a baby. Our boys are 15 and 8, so this will be an adjustment for everyone.ย
๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ป๐๐/๐ฅ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐: Husband spilled the beans to his parents who lack a filter. They tend to visit regularly, unannounced, so we shared the news with our kids earlier than I had anticipated. Would have liked to wait until I had made it into my OB and confirmed things but we can't risk our kids finding out the news from anyone other than us, and my in-laws definitely don't pick up on that sort of thing.ย

Thanks for the vitamin recommendations, everyone! You all named a few I was thinking about getting so that makes me feel better haha. During my first pregnancy, I got vitamins that said they were good to take on an empty stomach which seemed like a good thing and I had no problem with them. I started taking the same ones during this pregnancy, and I just can't do it! My nausea is worse this pregnancy and I just need something that's going to go down fast.ย
magnolia209ย YES! I'm nervous to share the news to my family and our friends, also. My age is a factor and we really thought we were done. I know my mom is going to be the worst with all the questions. And that will just add to my anxiety.ย
@scimommaย I just switched from some type of horse pill prenatal to the Olly gummies from Target. Was having a tough time getting the large pills down and I even threw up once from trying to swallow it when the nausea was bad.ย
@blanket_girl I just laughed at your men would get time off statement. My thoughts were if it were men, the entire species of human would not exist. But you're so right, they would make it so they had time off. How much men (in govt) have a say in a woman's reproductive rights pisses me off.ย

My sister who had a baby in November is already giving us hand me downs and I let my self buy 1 thing Still very nervous, nauseous at night before bed and trying to get some veggies and whole grains into my easily queasy tummy.ย
๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ป๐๐/๐ฅ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐: Went and got a mani pedi yesterday and I feel so refreshed! Also my husband is doing all the laundry and I don't even have to look at dishes! (not that I could because the smell of the sink makes me want to puke)
๐ค๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐:Any tips for nausea? As soon as I smell one thing nasty I cannot stop thinking about it or smelling it .ย

Currently powering through the Outlander series which I love. My favorite movies are horror- more specifically ghost or haunting horror.ย ย
My first appointment is Friday too! Iโm due 9/14 - just one day behind you! I can not wait to see the baby and set my nerves at ease! Iโm sorry you are feeling so queasy. Have you tried preggie pops? They really helped me. I am not dealing with nausea this time around (donโt be too jealous, Iโd love that reassurance that everything is ok and instead of nausea I just have anxiety about all the reasons Iโm not having nausea!) but I had bad nausea in my last pregnancy. I bought them this time and used them when I got nauseous in week 6 and preggie pops were really helping, but then switched to a prenatal that has B vitamins and iron and my nausea completely went away.ย
@magnolia209 I am going to talk to the midwives on Friday about anything I am taking and if there is an alternative. Honestly, the fish oil supplement makes me feel the worst.
Definitely talk with them. Iโm really surprised by the prenatal making things better for me, but it was more that just the nausea- I felt so much better overall once I started taking it. I think I just had very mild morning sickness this time around and I just needed more nutrients. I forgot to take it yesterday and did get a touch nauseous today and now feel super shitty - like achy and tired. But, I hope the midwives can help you. If you are really at your wits end, diclegis was a lifesaver for my last time! Iโm just hoping it really is my prenatal keeping me feeling good and not that something is wrong. Iโm really anxious to see a healthy baby in there. Iโm so so so nervous and just need it to be Friday!!!ย
