Hi everyone, I’m looking into delivering at Houston Methodist Willowbrook and would love to hear about people’s experiences there — good or bad.
I’m especially interested in hearing from anyone who used the low-intervention birthing suites or had a natural/low-intervention birth experience there in general.
i stopped all meds pio, vag inserts and estro patches yesterday.
Today I have felt like absolute garbage.
Nausea is on 1000 even zofran isn’t helping, boobs hurts very badly like even my own arms ever so slightly grazing them sends a shock through my entire system, and a horrible headache.
Did anyone else experience their pregnancy symptoms more intensely after stopping meds ?
Edit: What about baby aspirin? Did anyone stop taking that as well when directed by clinic or was that one you kept taking until OB directed otherwise? ** I have t been able to make appointment with an OB yet. I’m in medical record review purgatory right now waiting to find out if they will “accept” me as a patient 🫤
I am pregnant with my first child after multiple long, tortuous fertility treatments, and when I finally got pregnant, all I wanted to do was share the joy I was finally feeling with my parents.
For context: I am a two-time child of divorced parents—my mom remarried when I was 11. My dad was pretty much out of the picture, so my stepdad really stepped up and raised me. However, ever since the divorce between my mom and stepdad, I feel like the man I have only ever known as my father figure is now treating me like I’m just the daughter of his ex-wife. He has two biological children with my mom—my two younger half-brothers.
To be honest, I’m not really sure what kind of response I was expecting when I told him I was finally pregnant, but it feels like it wasn’t the one he gave. Maybe I’m still in denial about feeling the sting of the divorce two years later, but when he replied via text after I sent the first ultrasound picture and audio recording of the baby’s heartbeat, it read: “That’s fantastic!!! You will be a great mom!! Sending all my love and positive vibes your way!!!”
He hasn’t texted or called me since.
Again, maybe it’s just the pregnancy hormones and I’m being dramatic, but to me, that reply felt hollow 😔 Someone please talk me off this ledge. Tell me I’m just being dramatic and overthinking this.
