Leggings stretch right?

I’m 14w3 and trying to figure out what I’ll need as I’m already quite thick in the middle. I know this isn’t the same as a bump though. I don’t want to buy maternity leggings if I can get by with regular ones. It’s not a price thing, it’s about having needless stuff and bulk in my wardrobe.

What are your thoughts on the need of maternity leggings? And postpartum compression leggings?

Thank you

I am now 8 months pregnant and my partner during my pregnancy called me different names , baboon, big , blown up , stinky and my armpit went black and my bum, . And the he insist to have another baby after I give birth. I’m like no!! Also take note I caught him masturbating and stalking with his x gf instagram photos even they already broken up 2 years ago ywhile I am 5 months pregnant. He hasn’t give me sex nor go down on me , but he always wanted dick suck .

He said at least I am not cheating . Nor doing it in real life it’s just my porn addicted.

What should I do

I don’t want my baby no father nor maybe I am just over reacting. In conflicted ..

Last 24 hours a partially erupted wisdom tooth had started to cause my pain and swelling. I'm 7 weeks pregnant had anyone had a tooth removed during pregnancy?

So I am 22 weeks pregnant as of today, and up until 2 weeks ago I had actually lost 0.7kg, and my starting weight was 83.5kg/158cm. I weighed myself today and I weigh 83.5kg atm… I am a bit worried because I am not gaining any weight. I had my last scan 2 weeks ago and baby was perfectly fine. I won’t be seeing my midwife until mid December..

Has anyone else experienced not gaining any weight this far along?

About to have my first homebirth in the next couple of weeks 🥰 just looking for advice of what to have it in the house ? We've the pool, liner etc and extra towels but wondering what else would be important? Thank you ☺️

Finally had my babygirl. She's 4 days old. She hasn't pooped since Thursday. Has anyone had this issue before and what did try to help

It started last night. I thought they were just Braxton Hicks, but hours later I was still feeling all my muscles contract I'm my stomach. Like everything was extremely tight. I fell asleep, then the next day they were still there. Then pain started from my lower abdomen and shooting upwards. So I rushed to the ER and a ultrasound was performed. The baby was healthy and kicking around. But the placenta has moved since last time. It's now at the front. It was at the back at 12wks. I'm now almost 20 wks. Maybe why I don't feel his movements much anymore?

Anyways, she then went to do an internal exam, however, she could not get the speculum (I think that's what it's called?) inside of me because it felt like she was pushing it in straight, instead of on a downward curve. This literally felt like it was ripping my urethra by pulling it back. (I don't know if anyone else has this issue, but my urethra always sits low and gets pulled even when I used tampons. So I had to stop) The nurse replied "no I'm not, I'm not pulling on it all!" Yet I could feel it! Then I started bleeding and she said "oh...sorry"...

Anyways, she instead used her finger instead which was more comfortable. She said it feels like my uterus/cervix is closed and high up.

They then wanted to keep me in overnight to monitor in case it is infact a miscarriage. She told me it could still be a miscarriage but that It could only just started the last few days. This really really scared me. She said the other reason could be that my placenta may have torn from the uterus wall and could be bleeding and causing a lot of pain. Which would lead to miscarriage also..though she didn't see bleeding from the ultrasound, how ever she cannot 100% tell. both these theory's have me shocked and scared!! Is there no other theories on what this pain of contractions could be? Because both those theories seem extremely scary and they have no evidence of either. Thoughts?

I m gng to meet my doc after 2 days hence the anxiety. Please let me know if the report is normal or not.

I’m two months (based on my calculations) and I can’t stay up for longer than 3-4 hours at a time. Is this normal? I don’t have access to a doctor for two more weeks because I travelled from the US to the Middle East to visit family and found out I was pregnant there.

hi everyone! i was sent in for a 4D ultrasound due to gestational diabetes and the dr. wanting to make sure baby isn’t growing too fast, they had tried doing a vaginal ultrasound to check my cervix but it was painful for me (i’m further along, 33w) so we stopped immediately and skipped to the abdominal ultrasound. now i’m sore and slightly crampy, baby’s still moving around but i was wondering if anyone else has experienced cramping afterwards?

So about 4 days before my period was due I took a pregnancy test and it was negative without a doubt, today I’m a few days late and all my apps are telling me to test again, I Havnt gotten my very sore heavy boobs that I usually get before each period yet, but I do recall them being super sore 2 weeks before my period was due( that’s why I tested early). All day today I’ve had insane bloating where it hurts so bad I can barely stand for long.. should I retest or since my test said negative does it mean I should expect my Aunt Flo?

Okay so I know this is probably going to sound stupid to some but I’m a FTM and currently in Japan for our babymoon. Although I know Japan has some of the highest and best quality fish I have stayed clear of sushi and raw fish etc. but today my husband and I were at Sushi train and there was cooked prawn roll with avocado so I got one and when it came out it had fish Roe on it. Now I took most of it off as much as I could but I still probably had some. Tell me it’s fine 😂😭 Google doesn’t help ofcourse

Why are there so many guys catcalling a pregnant woman? I just don’t get it.

Today, I was walking my dog right in front of my apartment when a beat-up car followed me for two blocks. The guy in the passenger seat kept shouting at me, telling me how sexy I looked in my outfit. Seriously? I was just wearing a T-shirt dress I usually wear at home. It goes down to my ankles and covers everything, though it’s thin enough to show my 5-month belly.

I even showed them my pepper spray bottle and they didn’t stop harassing.

I’m getting catcalled more and more these days compared to before I got pregnant. My body has more curves now—more hips and boobs along with the big belly. Do they have a weird bump fetish, or is it because I seem more vulnerable?

So disgusting🤮🤢🤮🤢

Just for fun as I battle third trimester insomnia.. I’m 30w with baby number two and I want to hear how your second babes differed (or were alike!) from your first?

I can’t wait to meet our final addition!

Hi! My daughter is one week old & for various reasons I think we may need to switch to formula.

My oldest was exclusively breastfed so when it comes to formula/bottles I literally have zero idea about any of it. Any advice on what to get for bottles is appreciated too...slower feed / less gas etc.

My LO just hit 7 months. He is the easiest baby during the day. Loves to play, loves to observe, I can go to restaurants, family gatherings, walks and everything goes sooo smoothly. He has his occasional tantrums, of course, but they are easily managed.

HOWEVER, at night... he just does not sleep more than 2 hours, 3 if i am lucky. It wasn't always like this. He never slept through the night, but he used to have 5, 4 hour stretches. At around 5 months he changed, and things never got back to the way they were... It started about 2 weeks after starting daycare, he got sick around then. He recovered well, but his sleep patterns did not.

I am just really tired. Whenever i stop doing anything and i just sit, I feel like a weight is over me, like my body is refusing to move much. What can I possibly do? Is this a phase? Other babies seem to be better sleepers by now... Oh and of course, I always check temperature, diapers, I feed him, etc. It looks like he gets upset he wakes up, but then he cries and does not try to sleep again without help.

There was no way of hiding my 30+ weeks belly during the interview even if I wanted to. Interview questions done. Not once anything said regarding pregnancy/time off etc.. It was just like a regular interview until.........

Hiring person took me on a tour and ran into another staff... "staff just had a baby too." Immediately I knew they knew but unable to confirm with me. Left the scene & hiring person went for it, "I know we're not supposed for ask, but are you expecting?" It felt like a question to ask away from the other staffs.

I couldn't lie. There was just no way. I replied "yes." Followed by how many I have... etc...

I already got turned down from one job offer when I had to disclose my leave as start date was on my due date week. How can someone even prove if getting rejected from a job was due to discrimination? Also, is it even legal to ask that question? Btw, I'm in CA.

7 1/2 months and I swear to you the second I hit 7 months I have been so uncomfortable. My back kills, my feet hurt, I can only lay on 1 side for like 10 min max before having to flip and ofc I’m most comfortable on my back but then remind myself can’t sleep on your back. I can barely breathe. Sorry just needed to complain but I am truly so grateful just shocked how out of nowhere I started to feel like I got hit by a truck. Anyone else?

Anyone knows why the area of my belly button is yellow?

So I'm 40w2d (technically 3d since it's after midnight my time) and I had a membrane sweep done today. I've been 1cm for the past month, awful prodromal labor, this is my second and much rougher as my first came fast.

After my sweep we went grocery shopping and I have had suck awful cramping. I can barely move from the cramping. This isn't normal for me as my ob already knows my pain tolerance as being extremely high.

Did anyone else experience this?

Note- I do have an induction sceduled for Monday night.

Im expecting twins and had my anatomy scan and they are "suspicious of cleft palate" in both the twins. I'm scared to death and hoping it's only a suspicion. They are repeating the scan next month and I really hope it's a false positive considering the scan wasn't clear. Does anybody have any experiences of misdiagnosis of clefts? BTW...from what I read online it's very difficult to spot a cleft palette only in an ultrasound.

I’ve been having unprotected sex for over a month now and I’ve gotten my period once. Still waiting for the next one to see.

I read that most people get pregnant within a year , I don’t want to wait that long.

So how long did it take you guys ?

I’m week 11 day 2, I had having dull pain in my uterus for the evening. My husband got me a hot water bottle with a towel wrapped around it. I placed it on my pelvis and I then got comfortable in bed and and forgot to remove it and fell asleep for about 30-40 mins.

Now I’m stressed that I could have done something to the baby.

Hi, I’ve been having rashes/ spotty splotches. I used to take Zyrtec everyday before being pregnant. I’ve stopped taking it daily and only use it when the itching becomes unbearable.

I don’t have my first doctors appointment for another few days. Does anyone know if Zyrtec is safe? I feel so guilty for taking it, but I seriously feel like my skins crawling. My scalp and armpits even itch and are red and inflamed.

Ahh

I haven’t had any major moodiness until this past week at 33 weeks. I feel so sensitive emotionally compared to normal. How did you deal with this? I’m usually a pretty grounded person but right now if something irritates me at work during the day it throws me into a funk all day whereas normally I could shake it off and move forward.

Hi all, I'm worried about my mother & mother in law visiting my baby due next Tuesday 12th Nov (section so def won't go over) - what would you guys do in this scenario please? They're both fairly reasonable when it comes to contagion good sense, but still can have a prickly "we didn't do that in my day" attitude about some things 😮‍💨

1. Mother in law has a heavy head cold since mid this week (still very sick with it now, Saturday the 9th).
2. My own mother is on a winter cruise till mid next week, which she'll also be flying back from then.

What's the minimum time you'd let them visit after the baby comes next Tues? I'm thinking:

1. Cold-ridden mother in law - 1 full week after all her symptoms are gone. Mask & sanitiser then also to be sure?
2. Cruise & flight-taking mother - ask her to mask on the return airport & flight, then wait 3 days to see if she caught anything?

Would really appreciate anyone's insight, and I'm only interested in the more cautious among us please. Thank you in advance

I'm really not complaining here, because I've heard how painful/uncomfortable they can be, but I'm 39 weeks and being induced on Monday and haven't had a cervical check yet. I kind of assumed they'd offer to do one at my last appointment at 38 weeks, but there was no mention of it.

Just wondering if this is normal, and they'll do the first check when I go in for the induction Monday? I really wasn't looking forward to it but knowing how dilated or not you are seems like a pretty decent indicator of how induction might possibly go so I am curious.
