My hair texture has changed 180 degrees and it feels like it's not gonna go back to normal anytime soon. It's super frizzy and unruly , I just look like a ragged fat doll. I hate how I look because of my hair and I don't know if it's a permanent change after pregnancy.
Fellow mama's who went through this please hit me up with all your advice.
Hi all,
I am new to this sub and this is my first pregnancy. I am 5 weeks and 3 days pregnant. Today was my first ultrasound and there was visible gestational sac and yolk sac.
Gestational sac aged 5 weeks and 5 days, however Fetal pole was not visible yet. Doc said it’s normal and has asked to visit her again in 2 weeks (around 7w3d) to check fetal pole and heart beat.
I have heard few youtuber having additional ultrasound done, however I am not sure about this.
What are your thoughts?
I’m currently 13 weeks pregnant. In an earlier transvaginal ultrasound, my cervical length measured 3.3 cm, but in my most recent abdominal ultrasound, it measured 2.9 cm.
My doctor said that 2.9 cm is borderline normal and advised me to repeat the ultrasound in 4 weeks to monitor whether the cervical length changes.
Could the difference in measurements be due to the fact that the first scan was transvaginal and the second was transabdominal? Is it possible for cervical length to increase naturally as the pregnancy progresses, or is it more likely to remain the same or shorten?
Also, what precautions or lifestyle modifications should I follow in the meantime to help reduce the risk of cervical shortening or preterm birth?
My wife is 4 months pregnant, and lately she cries over a lot of things that don't seem like big issues to me. I'm trying to understand if this is a normal pregnancy phase or if I'm genuinely doing something wrong.
For example, my sister comes home only once a year from Europe and is staying for 3 weeks. We were all sitting in the bedroom, and I told my sister, "Let's get some wine." We walked to the kitchen (literally the next room), and my wife later cried for hours because I didn't invite her too. I didn't knew I have to formally invite her to next room!
Another time, my wife had a TD injection at a clinic right next door that would take a minute, and her mom (our neighbor) could go with her. At the same time, my sister had severe back and neck pain, and I'm the only one who could drive her an hour away to see a doctor. I asked my wife if her mom could take her for the injection while I took my sister, and she got very upset, saying I don't prioritize her, while i was planning for being practical.
There have been quite a few similar situations.
Has anyone else experienced this during pregnancy? Is this fairly common, or is there something I'm not seeing?
Tested positive yesterday. Depending on my last period date I’m probably about 4 weeks in.
Went to see an OB today who I found on Practo (I’m in a new city and don’t know anyone here). Hence looking for other opinions.
She has recommended me 10K worth of blood tests. I’m a bit sceptical about whether if these tests are necessary at this point, considering I’ve had no previous losses.
She also told me to not do these things for the first three months:
This feels like a slightly ancient approach to pregnancy but I need your opinions.
Today, I learnt that babies, until 6 months, can distinguish between the sounds of every language that has been invented! Isn't that amazing? So, their ability to absorb languages is exceptionally good during this stage.
That got me thinking about how many languages my kid is already exposed to inside the womb. I speak Tamil and a bit of English at home. I speak Malayalam (my mother tongue) to my dad over phone and I'm learning Spanish via Duolingo (I practice aloud few words and phrases almost everyday).
I've never really been good at picking up new languages. I struggled to learn Hindi at school. That sort of traumatised me for life haha 😂
But, my husband knows quite a few languages. So, betting on his genes and my baby's language absorbing capabilities to do the trick :)
I make dresses for babies and toddlers of anyone is interested!💗💗
Hi,
We are from Mumbai and have been consulting at two hospitals: Breach Candy and Apollo.
Breach Candy is 1.5 - 2 hrs from our place and Apollo is 30 mins.
Our preference is to go to Breach Candy for delivery.
Could there be any scenarios wherein we may have to immediately go the nearest hospital?
Our gyenac at Breach Candy told us that since this is the first baby, you will have sufficient time to reach to the hospital.
Just wanted to know in what emergency situations should we go to the nearest hospital?
We are in 8th month and we need to make a deposit of 1.5 lakh at Breach Candy. Apollo has not asked for any deposit so far.
Thanks a lot.
