Venting moment: can we discuss how every symptom is either “you’re miscarrying/dying” or “totally normal pregnancy symptom” and there is no in between? Crazy cramps? Either ectopic/dying or normal because hormones. Sudden horrible back pain? Either miscarriage or totally normal because hormones.

I’m on the same boat. Five weeks pregnant and peeing on strips like a dog entire day to make sure this is not a chemical pregnancy and HCG goes up.

Yes, it’s the worst!! Could be your worst nightmare! But also, might be exactly what you hope for. 🙄 frustrating.

I feel this. Just found out I was pregnant due to crazy cramps last week. I managed with Tylenol for couple days thinking my period was coming then they became so intense I had to go to urgent care.

Also congrats!!!

Didn’t really believe I had ADHD after seeking and getting a diagnosis at 36 a few years ago. Adderall didn’t really work great plus was scared of the side effects. Never tried another med due to doubt because I did well in school. After hearing forever that my dad did horrible in school, I asked him why. He suspects ADHD. Felt like I was at the end of a movie where you see everything you missed with all his tendencies. This has allowed myself to accept my diagnosis finally but now I feel lost.

PSA for anyone here who is struggling with trauma, PTSD, depression, or any other mental health concern: Seek professional help today. Do not feel ashamed, and do not listen to your friends, family, community members who may tell you to just rely on duas and to stop acting crazy.

Duas alone and the feedback you get from others will NOT help you until you take the initiative to help yourself. Allah says this Himself in Surah al Rad (11).

Additional Posts in We're Pregnant!

Halp! I have a TSH of nearly 4 and recently got put on Synthroid by an endocrinologist. I was supposed to wait until my TSH was 2.5 to conceive but we just found out we are pregnant. 🙈 I’d love to hear experiences of others who had higher TSH once you conceived and how you dealt with it.

As a generous surprise my parents and my husband's parents went in on the car seat, stroller, highchair and crib together and it's arriving today. All I can think about it is our baby using it and taking her around and I am finding myself less and less patient with work. I am not even due until the beginning of April, so I still have some time to put up with this project when I get back. Anyone feel like this as they head into third trimester?

I asked this in another bowl but everyone recommended places outside the country. Looking for lowkey baby moon trip reccs. We’d be going early bc it’s the only time that works for us (20 wks). We live in DC & are thinking maybe FL? Ideally, someplace warm with beaches. Most people recc PR or other islands but with Zika I’m pretty nervous to do that. Does anyone have any locations they’d recommend? Florida seems kind of lame but it’s easy to get to and still warm lol. Early march time frame!

Maybe I’m also a little scared to become a mom, so I keep saying finances is my excuse, but I am also a little financially concerned.
