Being pregnant: what to expect

Being pregnant can be as much a source of happiness as it might be of anxiety and discomfort, so it's normal to have questions about your current or future pregnancy!


  • If your moods and emotions are on a roller coaster, your hormones might be guilty!
  • The physical symptoms of pregnancy are not always pleasant: nausea, fatigue, and weight gain are common.
  • Don't hesitate to pamper yourself and ask your partner and loved ones for support. It should be natural and obvious!

so i wanna move back home to florida and idk how to tell my baby daddy. i was gonna wait 6 weeks and i don’t want to take him away from his child but… i’m so unhappy here. i was abused here by my ex, i was raped, i got into hard drugs before i was pregnant. being pregnant is the only this that saved me from an OD. and i can’t find an apartment here so i have no place to live. i have more family in florida and an apartment i could live in. way more friends and support and i know my mental health would improve dramatically. he’s so mean tho he never wants to see my side he opts out for im crazy and he will sue me if i run away with the kid

He can’t sue you for taking your baby where you have nothing there! Wth do your research! Who cares about him take your baby and leave it’s not going to be any easier once the baby is here.

I’m sick for the second time since being pregnant. Both cause of my husband. First Covid and now a cold/Sinus infection. Being pregnant is rough but being sick and pregnant is a whole other struggle

Y’all I’m miserable I’m usually in a great mood and love being pregnant! But I’m running on no sleep. I live in apartments with THE BEST landlord! She’s been so supportive! Even moving me into a better and more peaceful apartment for my fiancé and I. I’ve live in a down stairs apartment for almost 4 year.. THE FREAKIN ASS HOLE THAT LIVES ABOVE ME!! He plays the drums until 3am and I already struggle to sleep.. like his girlfriend came to my apartment to “make sure I couldn’t hear them” and I’ve called the cops for them being on my porch.. I live in Texas and I’m a young tiny girl that usually alone.. Not a very smart idea to be on my porch.. I went to the doctor today but they basically told me I was being dramatic.. after setting there for 4 hours and I don’t feel good at all like at all I think I’m at the point of exhaustion I’m sick.. and I’ve been crying all day.. I’m so scared I’m hurting my baby. I’m 4 months pregnant and this being my first pregnancy sometimes doctors don’t take me seriously. And when the doctor called me meds I didn’t need I basically told her to shove them up her ass.. she was hateful and I was mad and hungry. I’ve literally cried all day. And I got a sweet boy in my belly that’s literally made me love being pregnant. I’m so scared of hurting him being this emotional and so tired. My fiancé came home just to take care of me! I love my boys so much but need momma support and any idea to help sleep.

If you're not satisfied with your doctor find another one! Switch switch switch until you find the right one for YOU. As for the neighbor. Check your lease. A lot of apartments have quiet hours. Constantly report him. You also legally have the right to a peaceful enjoyment of your apartment. Which def means not having someone playing drums at 3am. If it was me and nothing else worked I would make his life hell right back. Figure out when he sleeps and play loud music. But I'm petty so ?‍♀️

my dr said lack of sleep doesn’t effect the baby as long as you eat healthy, stay hydrated and take your vitamins. i have had insomnia related to my anxiety and adhd. Since i can’t take my usual meds while pregnant, i’ve been super sleep deprived and the baby is perfectly healthy. i know the exhaustion is probably wearing on your mental stability like it did mine. it was so apparent at 4 months too. it gets better! and i changed my drs and finally got one i liked starting at 4 months if you feel like that’s not working either. listening to white noise helps sleep, drinking a glass of water, going to bed earlier so ur not stressed on time, walking outside a couple of minutes, hot food, reading a boring book. i literally count sheep sometimes ?

Anyone else suffer from ptsd pregnancy? This is my third pregnancy, my first is from a relationship of 7 years. It was clear that we were just kids, and our relationship wasn’t strong enough to last. We were two different people and I had a lot of growing up to do. (Severe post partum and unaware of it) Lead me to my previous relationship where I felt he got me pregnant on purpose. Which was a lot of infidelity on his part, (during and after pregnancy) My current relationship is my last and final attempt at love with somebody else this way. I suffer from ptsd because of my last relationship and it’s insane, that our mind and body can make us feel a type of way toward our growing bellies and the life within us I went from hating being pregnant again, being put on Zoloft to it not working with me to being on and off with “I’m happy I’m pregnant” to “he ruined me” I have started wearing crop tops or clothing that shows my belly and why? It makes me feel connected I went to pee, stood in the mirror, looked at my big belly… 2 more months 18 days and 23 hours (yes I have it on countdown) til I meet my little boy. Carrying my first son. Something about carrying him makes me feel honored, proud, like I did something right. I suffer from ptsd but I will not allow it to destroy the love I have for my son.

Am on the home stretch, this is my first pregnancy. Husband is on a deployment ?(he is going to miss the birth) been kinda down since he left. Question, Moms how did y'all overcome such "hard times" during this stage?. I mean I am happy and loving everything about being pregnant but being all alone is so tough on me. I try everyday to stay positive and prepare for baby ?? and some days I don't even want to leave my room or eat. I do feel like when baby gets here all that sadness will go away cause I would have a person of my own with me.
