Pregnancy and uti

Hi, I’ve experienced slight discomfort when peeing like I can’t get the last bit out no matter what.
I don’t have any other symptoms but I did have a uti a few months back that suddenly turned into a kidney infection and I had to be put on different antibiotics!
I’m asking because when I last had the uti my symptoms were very very mild and i didnt know before taking an at home uti test which was a mild positive and I then got a negative at my doctors office.. went 2 weeks without treatment, symptoms suddenly went away and then I got the kidney infection pain from hell 😅..
I am hydrated all the time, take cranberry supplements daily with my prenatals and haven’t had sex in a while, I make sure to wash myself after peeing and just daily as I’m terrified to get a kidney infection again.

Co sleeping worries

Hi, I’m only in the end of my first trimester but I’m just wondering if it truly is safe to co sleep or not? I’m already planning on having a bedside crib in our bedroom and then a normal crib in the nursery, my mom co slept with me and my sibling and obviously we’re still alive but I just have read so many stories about it ending badly and want all tips to make it as safe as possible when time comes!

I’d love to cuddle with my baby and sleep with my baby every night!

Height and bump

Hi I’m currently 11w0d pregnant and I’m 153cm and have a short torso, I’m just wondering if any short girls started showing early on and how you’re doing.. I’m already noticing that the area right under my belly button is starting to ”pop”? It’s a lot bigger than it was when I was 8weeks and I’m already so uncomfortable due to trapped gas, bloating and my breasts have tripled in size,
I just feel uncomfortable honestly 😅

It’s also my first ever pregnancy so yeah

Lonely

Ever since I got pregnant I’ve felt so alone and lonely? And I completely understand that I’m very young and that my friends have more exciting stuff going on but I just thought they would be more involved as they were all SO excited when I told them, they were spamming me about how happy they are to become aunties and how excited they are to meet the baby, but that’s about it.. they don’t ask, don’t wanna hang out, don’t ask for updates and I just feel so silly and dumb for thinking they would?
I told my closest friends after a while and they messaged me for about a day before disappearing..

I don’t know if I’m just being silly or if it’s valid?

What does a baby need..

Im 9w6d today as its past midnight, Im pregnant with my first ever baby, and I know its super early to buy anything but im a big planner and like having a plan or list at all times.

But what else is needed?
I wanna know all the most important things to the less important! Give me all the information please 🙏🏽

First time throwing up

The caption says it all!
I’m 9w6d pregnant and it’s midnight but yesterday(? Idk what to call it sos) I ate some canned food for dinner, after an hour I had diarrhoea and then 2 hours after that I suddenly got SO nauseous, never been that nauseous ever, I tried laying down and breathing it out as that’s been working for me but every single move I made, made it 10 times worse.. I then sat up on the couch and my mouth filled with saliva and I thought I had to gag? Felt like it atleast but instead of gagging I projectile vomited all over my blanket, my dogs blanket and the floor..!
It came through my nose as well and I started crying right away as I’ve never thrown up from sickness, a hangover or anything..last time I threw up I was 4? And that was 14 years ago.. and that was because I ate too much spaghetti too fast 😅.

Anyways, it was HORRIBLE! I spent 10 minutes flushing my nose out and rinsing my throat with water and I just now got myself to eat some salt chips as I’m terrified to eat, safe to say I’m never eating anything canned AGAIN ever… 😂
I’m not sure if it was the pregnancy hormones or the food but I’m scared to eat but I can hold water down and felt a lot better right away after throwing up.. so nasty!
Hoping it was a one time thing and only that..

And to all the poor women who deal with morning sickness and sickness during pregnancy you are so strong, I don’t know how you guys do it..

Vivid nightmares

Hi, I’m still in the first trimester but I’ve been having such vivid dreams and nightmares ever since I got pregnant.

I keep dreaming about someone coming into my apartment or my moms and kidnapping my baby, it’s currently 04 Am and I just woke up again in a panic looking for my baby before realising it was a nightmare 🥹..
is there anything I can do to prevent my nightmares? Or is it just a part of pregnancy

Feeling guilty

Im around 8-9 weeks and I feel so guilty and shameful because I just feel so miserable all the time, I have no energy to do anything else than eat and go back to bed again every day.
My appetite has gone down and nothing sounds good and I’ve started to feel nauseous here and there.

I wish I had the energy to go out and enjoy the summer, be with friends and just be outside but every little thing feels like it’s draining all my energy.

I feel so dirty no matter how many times I shower, I’m sweating a lot more now that I’m pregnant, my hair for some reason gets greasy the day after washing it, I just feel so gross and miserable 😣

I see so many others on social media feeling great and doing stuff everyday in the first trimester while I just lay in bed or on the couch feeling like a gross lazy person 😔.

The only thing I look forward to is my early ultrasound on Wednesday and seeing my little baby.

HCG levels

Hi again!
I had a lot of brown discharge with a slight bit of red to it from the 14th - 15th July and called my doctors office, I got sent to our blood bank the 16th of July to check my hcg levels and got my answers an hour ago when I called them, my hcg levels are/were at 37,165

I also got sent to the blood bank the 10th of July after my first doctors appointment to confirm the pregnancy and my levels were then at 9,884

It’s such a relief to know that I’m still pregnant and that it wasn’t anything bad, I also haven’t had any brown or red discharge since fortunately!
And I’m just wondering if I should check them again or wait till my first & early ultrasound appointment August 5th?

I’m about 8+0 weeks along according to preglife and my symptoms are:

Super tired & sleeping multiple times a day.

My breasts are so much bigger than before I got pregnant
Sensitive, brown, big and hard nipples.

Starving whenever I wake up and every hour it seems like.. I have to eat or I get slightly nauseous.

Vivid scary dreams and very weird ones that leave me feeling unsettled whenever I wake up.

Mild cramping on and off every day, but it’s calmed down a lot these past few days.

Very very happy but cry very easily too.

Mild cravings but nothing crazy and no food aversions really.

I keep waking up at 3-5 Am every single day and can’t fall back asleep till a few hours later.. but I also fall asleep at around midnight every night 😅

Very out of breath from doing honestly nothing..

Hot flashes every day, I’m suddenly super hot and nothing cools me down then everything is fine again..🙄!

Lots and lots of bloating throughout the day and especially at night! But when I wake up my stomach is flat again.

My skin is the clearest it’s ever been and I’ve only gotten one new pimple but other than that my skin is smooth and kind of glowing?

That’s all for me so far! Haven’t had any nausea or thrown up so I’m feeling blessed even though I was worried something was wrong before!

Symptoms

Hi, according to preglife I’m 7+5 weeks along.
I’ve not experienced any nausea or thrown up but my symptoms are:

Cramping on and off during the day as if my period is coming

Out of breath doing literally anything

Very sore and doubled sized breasts & my nipples are super big now.

Very hungry all the time, I feel like I’m eating for a whole family and then I feel starving after 30 minutes ..

Bloating like crazy especially at night

Clear and glowing skin? I’ve struggled with acne since I was 11 and this is the clearest my skin has been ever.

I’m super happy but also cry very easily!

Hot flashes? I’m not sure if that’s a symptom but I’m usually really cold all the time 😅

No cravings tho or food aversions

Had some brown discharge for 2 days a few days ago but that went away on its own

And I just wanna be with my boyfriend and cuddle or be near him all the time..

What are your symptoms and should I be worried about no nausea?

17, pregnant and scared

Hi, im a 17 (f).

I just want to mention that Im turning 18 in December and my boyfriend is still here.

I found out I was pregnant 3 days ago, as my period was 3 days late.

I didn't really think I was pregnant I just felt off? My breasts were double the size & my nipples changed suddenly, I was slightly bloated, very sleepy and had on and off cramps for about a week which made me believe my period was right around the corner, but I thought it was late because I had a kidney infection 2-3 weeks ago from an untreated Uti due to a false negative on the urine test at my doctors office, anyways I thought my body had been through a lot of stress due to the infection & antibiotics and me being sick.

My boyfriend also thought my period was coming as I had a really weird period at the start of June, it came a week early, was 3 days short, very light and I spotted for a day after it finished, I usually have heavy painful periods that last a week but again I thought it was because of the infection...
when I took the test the line popped up within 2 minutes, and on the package it said to check after 5 minutes but I was just so anxious and I just knew right away when I took the test.
When I saw the two strong lines I instantly became scared, my heart started racing and I bawled my eyes out in the bathroom for 20minutes, went to the living room and bawled my eyes out for another 30minutes before waking my boyfriend up while crying my eyes out, as I handed him the test he hugged me right away..told me it will be okay and that hes here for me.

I cried some more and then we started talking about what to do... and he told me that he will be here with me no matter what my decision is, I took another test yesterday morning and it was instantly positive as well, and according to FLO I could be around 4-5 weeks...

and now that I've had 2 days to process it a little Im leaning towards keeping the baby, but I'm SO scared and I haven't told my mom as I wanted to confirm it at my doctors office but they couldn't get me in before Wednesday this week so I'm unsure if I wait to tell my mom or If I tell her today..

I also want to add that me and my mom are really close, I can talk to her about everything and we have a great relationship. Im just terrified and feel kind of alone even though I'm not.. Im so scared to be a bad mom, to ruin my baby.

Antibiotics

Hi! I recently got treated for a kidney infection that came from a uti, I was on a 7 day course of antibiotics and just finished them on Saturday.
Anyways, I’m just wondering if the antibiotics and infection could change my cycle? My period is due in 2 days and I’ve only had cramps on and off for a few days but mostly getting twinges and my breasts are sore..other than that nothing, my last period was also really weird, lasted 3 days and I almost didn’t bleed at all.. & I didn’t get any ovulation symptoms either ..
and I usually bleed for a week, heavy bleeding and painful cramps & then ovulate 2 weeks when my periods gone😗!
I’m experiencing ovulation symptoms now and just confused honestly..

Confused??

Okay so I made a post on here 2 days ago I think, it was about what I thought was a uti and early period.

Anyways so I went to the doctors and they made me do a urine test for pregnancy, a uti and chlamydia (I had chlamydia in April and I just had to check that everything was gone) which I did, they then told me all was good but they have to send my urine to the hospital and I’ll get called once they get the results.. however I didn’t get any answers on the pregnancy test or uti which I thought I would get right ahead but I guess not.
But the pain got worse since then till yesterday, but still didn’t have any pain in my urine hole? English is not my first language sorry.
But then today all pain suddenly was gone, but I’m still peeing like a race horse every 30minutes..and feel like I’m about to pee myself 24/7 unless laying flat on my back?

I haven’t gotten around to do a pregnancy test at home as Im not really having any symptoms at all, plus I don’t get paid in a few days and I need the money I have left.

But i was supposed to ovulate today but I really haven’t had any ovulation signs at all other than that once 2 days after my weird period ended..which is not right either as ur not supposed to ovulate that soon after a period.😅

I’m just looking for advice honestly as I’m super confused on what my body is doing.. if I have a uti or not and ect..
All advice or same/alike experiences are welcome I’m just looking for comfort and needed to rant 😅😗
