Hi all I am a mom to a sweet little boy and although we are blessed to have clothes and a roof over our heads, I had an unexpected expense come out (medication for a diagnosis of mine; Chloestasis)
I have tried to ask other people such as family for help but times are tough out here for everyone this I know! :(

If I could just get help I would be so thankful 🥹 at the very least thank you for reading this post!

:)

Hi guys I know I’m an asshole to ask but could I get help with ICP meds I can’t stop itching!! And don’t get paid until Monday 😥 I know I’m gonna get shit on but here we are it’s $9.38 cents

At almost 37 weeks and having baby next week!! So nervous!! 😬

I have about 19 days left until baby is here did anyone else feel sick towards the end of their pregnancies? I drink plenty of water and take frequent walks daily as well as chase my toddler around but I just don’t feel great

Hi everyone I am new here…. I am from the Midwest located in Missouri, I’ve tried asking my family and I’ve tried asking my spouse to ask his family…. And his ego is getting in the way ofc I really need juice for my son and some bread for myself to make PB&Js. Get paid on Friday and will pay back in full I apologize for the inconvenience!!

I am embarrassed but I tried the local food banks near me and I can’t get anything until 1pm on Wednesday, could just be my pregnancy hormones but I want to cry from the stress of having little to no food and having little juice for my son….

Thank you for at least reading🫶🏽
Idk how these things work but I can send over any info needed!

Hi I’m am due in 20 days woohoo! I remember feeling more movement with my first, my second pregnancy they mentioned I have an anterior placenta (sorry if I’m getting that wrong) but does anyone else deal with less movement or is my baby just not the most active??

Hiii mamas!!

I am 36 weeks how do I know if my scar tissue (from my first cesarean) would be to difficult to cut through I’ve always felt like that area was tough and hard, it didn’t heal the greatest, I don’t want to have classical csection by any means but if you did have one…. Did you OB tell you on the Operating table or how was that? Please and thank you 🙏🏽

I literally have to sleep facing the other direction, cover my nose with the blanket, or roll the windows down in the car because of this man’s breath. At first I thought it was just from some dental work he had done, but it’s been over a month now and it still smells bad all day long, not just morning breath.

The dentist mentioned he needed a deep cleaning because he hadn’t gone in so long, but it was expensive so he skipped it. The weird part is I NEVER noticed his breath before halfway through pregnancy, so now I’m wondering if this is just pregnancy nose making everything 100x worse??

I feel awful even typing this because I sound so mean, but I seriously don’t know how someone can’t pick up on their own breath 😭 Even my toddler will push his face away and get mad if dad gets too close.

The problem is my husband is super sensitive and this would 100% start an argument if I brought it up directly, so I’ve just been avoiding the topic to keep the peace. But I genuinely don’t know how much longer I can deal with this. Has anyone else gone through this??

I am due soon so I hope my nose is just tripping lol
Thank you 🙏🏽 😬🫶🏽

Hi mamas! I’m 36 weeks Just curious if any one else in this subreddit has experienced itching to the point of where they cant control themselves, Lasting it started on my side … no rash which I thought was weird and then I got a really intense sharp pain of heat in my back and started itching there and then my legs and my face, my hands and my toes and basically all over at the point…. Well now it’s starting again for the second evening in a row wtf is going on 🤣🤣

Thank you

EDIT- GETTING LABS DONE, thank you everyone 🫶🏽🫶🏽 they won’t come back tonight though

I’m currently 24 days away from my due date and honestly feeling really overwhelmed financially lately. Things are so tight right now that I’ve even started considering getting a job at 36 weeks pregnant just to try and make sure everything is okay for my toddler and before my baby gets here.
Did anyone else go through extreme stress this close to delivery?
Do you think stress can actually trigger labor or induce you early?
Do you think that working this late could be an issue and induce labor?

Not trying to throw a pity party I just want genuine advice or your thoughts on the matter :)
Thank you 🫶🏽🫶🏽

Has anyone else ever had to switch OBs last minute and felt completely dismissed afterward?

My original OB unexpectedly had to have surgery, so now he won’t be back until the week after my scheduled C-section. I had to switch to a different OB at the last minute, and honestly after meeting him today, I left feeling really unheard and brushed off.

I explained all the symptoms I’ve been having the last 2–3 days: loose stools, cramping, legit band-tight contractions, bloody show, constant low back pain, intense vaginal pressure/pain, and a ton of pressure in my pelvic area because baby is sitting REALLY low. I just overall feel off. Instead of really listening or seeming concerned, it felt like he just mansplained everything to me and basically said that if I’m really worried, then just go to labor and delivery instead.

The frustrating part is that he’s always the on-call doctor there too, so that doesn’t exactly make me feel reassured. I’ve already gone in once before about a week and a half ago for extreme watery discharge, and even then I felt like he didn’t take me seriously at all.

On top of that, I’m also severely anemic. My original OB had already started me on iron infusions, and even after finishing them my iron is still really low. Now there’s concern that I could end up needing a blood transfusion, so I’m already anxious enough as it is.

I know pregnancy symptoms can overlap with normal late pregnancy stuff, but I also know my body, and it’s frustrating feeling like I’m not being taken seriously at all. Has anyone else dealt with an OB, especially one you had to switch to unexpectedly, that made you feel dismissed like this?

Thanks 🫶🏽

Hey everyone, I’m currently 35 weeks with my second pregnancy and I’m honestly starting to wonder if my body is gearing up for labor or if this is all just normal late pregnancy stuff. My first pregnancy was an induction, so I never really experienced spontaneous labor signs and I feel completely clueless this time around.

Yesterday morning I had what felt like a legit contraction. It started in my back, wrapped around my stomach, and got super tight and painful ( like a tight band) for over a minute. After that, I had cramping pretty much on and off the rest of the day.
I also think I may have lost my mucus plug, but it didn’t come out all at once like people describe. It’s more been brownish/old blood looking discharge over time ( well over a week or so) so now I’m second guessing whether that’s what it even was.

Yesterday I also had really soft stools and that “when you gotta go, you GOTTA go” feeling all day.
Then this morning the vaginal/pelvic pain got SO intense. It was really painful and actually kept waking me up out of my sleep. The pain felt super deep in my vaginal/pelvis area and I’ve also had lower back pain on and off today along with a ton of pressure in my hips/pelvic area. Baby feels extremely low.

I know some of this can just be normal third trimester stuff, but as someone who never went into labor naturally before, I have no idea what’s normal and what isn’t. For moms who have gone into labor on their own,

Did your early labor start like this?
Did lightning crotch/pelvic pressure get really intense beforehand?
At what point did you decide it was hospital bag time?
Trying to decide whether I should start seriously preparing or just keep playing the waiting game 😅

Thanks ❤️

Hi mamas ❤️

I’m currently 35 weeks pregnant and early this morning around 5 a.m. I had some pretty intense pain that honestly caught me off guard. It started in my back and wrapped all the way around my belly, the best way I can describe it is it felt like a boa constrictor squeezing me tight. 😅 It lasted a little over a minute and a half and definitely felt stronger than the random Braxton Hicks I’ve had before. I couldn’t sleep afterwards.

Ever since getting up about an hour ago, I’ve been dealing with cramping on and off all morning too. With my first baby, I was induced, so this pregnancy has felt completely different and I honestly don’t know what’s “normal” this time around.

For those who went into labor naturally, what did it feel like for you in the beginning? Did anyone have pain like this before labor started? Or did it end up just being a big Braxton Hicks contraction? I’d love to hear your stories and experiences because my anxiety is definitely kicking in a little. 😅

Thank you so much, and Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing mamas out there 💕

Hi everyone. I’m honestly a little embarrassed even making this post because I’m not usually someone who asks for help, but I figured I would try. I’m still learning how all of this works here, so please be kind. ❤️ i’m 24 years old and a mama to the sweetest little boy who is about to turn 4 years old. He has ASD, and despite the challenges he faces, he is truly the happiest, most loving, gentle little soul. He works so incredibly hard in therapy and has made so much progress that I’m endlessly proud of him for. Seeing him grow and accomplish new things means everything to me.

Right now, I’m struggling to cover the last $20 needed for his food therapy copay this month. I was thankfully able to cover his speech and occupational therapy costs, but after bills, groceries, and preparing for our second baby due in about a month, I’ve fallen just short. I did reach out to family first, but unfortunately they aren’t in a position to help right now, which I completely understand. I’m currently in school working toward my associate’s degree because I want to build a better future and stable life for my babies. Some days are really hard, but I’m trying my best to keep pushing forward for them.

If anyone is able to help with even a small amount toward the remaining copay, it would mean more than I can explain. I can absolutely provide proof/receipt of the copay as well for transparency. And if you can’t help financially, I completely understand even kind words, prayers, or sharing this means so much to me.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. ❤️

I have Cash App, PayPal and Venmo.

Hey! I’m about to undergo surgery to have my baby and am on probation my last probation officer was super cool about traveling whenever as long as I gave plenty of time in advance, I had a current travel pass scheduled for June 11th through June 18th but was thinking about asking if I could schedule for June 10th (when I leave the hospital) through June June 30th I have done everything right and I stay out of trouble, should I just not even ask or ask and see what she says…. The reasoning for the travel pass is because I want to stay with my in laws which is just across the Missouri state border (in Arkansas 30 mins away) they don’t have three flights of stairs so I would ultimately have an easier recovery.

The reason I’m posting on here is to see if anyone has had any extended travel passes and how your PO took it… thanks 🙏🏽

Hi everyone I’m new to this page and occasionally read up on it, My current PO was so chill, I just do the remote check-ins and now she is resigning and I’m suppose to get a new one, should I wait and let my new PO reach out first or should I reach out first? Also I’m worried about her not allowing me to travel as much… I am doing everything right I paid off all my fees and fines and pay my monthly intervention fee on time every month I go to school full time and stay out of trouble and stay home lol.

Also has anyone else gotten off early on SIS probation? I’ve been on for over a year and am scheduled to get off October of 2027 with good behavior
