26 weeks pregnant

26 weeks pregnant

I am 26 weeks pregnant and started noticing something on my stomach about a month ago. It started as a smaller cluster of what looked like irritated skin and over 4 weeks developed into this ring like patch shown in the picture. I have been to urgent care, OBGYN, and dermatologist. The dermatologist suspected pityriasis rosea and gave me triamcinolone cream and told me to come back in 2 weeks if it’s not better. It doesn’t itch or feel painful but is not getting any better. Recently I have noticed some smaller dots around my chest/torso area mostly but not so many like what I see in other peoples pictures. I’m wondering if this is actually pityriasis rosea as it also took a month to develop this patch. Was anyone else’s very slow moving like this? Everyday I hope that it will show signs of improvement but it doesn’t.

In-laws destroying marriage

There has been tension with my in-laws for a long time. Most of my frustration stems from them acting inappropriately and my husband not having my back or worse siding with them about how I am the problem. Something that they regularly do is go to him privately to ask what they did to me or what they did wrong. After my baby shower I was exhausted and frankly fed up of all their antics leading up to it. They were hanging out at my house so I made up an excuse to run an errand because I just needed to get away. This triggered a big response where they made everything super awkward between us as if I had done something to them by leaving my own house. Then hours later they pulled my husband aside and grilled him about “what did we do? We just don’t understand” basically made my leaving all about them and played a victim card with my husband. He didn’t cover for me at all and told them that I should have communicated my needs.

What do I do with this? Is it destroying our relationship and we have our first baby on the way. I fear that this dynamic will be our downfall.

Pee when you sneeze or cough?

I am 22 weeks and for the past few weeks if I sneeze, cough or laugh too hard I sometimes end up leaking urine. I thought this was just part of pregnancy but I mentioned it at an ultrasound and they said I need pelvic floor PT. I also got checked to make sure I wasn’t leaking amniotic fluid. I don’t mind doing the PT but I’m just wondering if others have dealt with this as they made me feel like it’s not normal?

How was your pregnancy/labor?

I know that IVF comes with some increased risk for complications and lately some IVF girls I have been following on IG all seemed to have pretty traumatic births with some scary complications. I am wondering if this is the norm with IVF pregnancies or if there are IVF moms who had uneventful pregnancies and labors?

Don’t feel movement-18 weeks

I will be 18 weeks pregnant with my first baby tomorrow. I haven’t felt any movement at all. I do know that I have an anterior placenta and it can take a bit longer. Has anyone else experienced this?
