The first four months of pregnancy: you don’t even have a bump yet, so everyone keeps asking, "Wait, are you actually pregnant?"
By the sixth month: suddenly, it's all, "Oh wow, look at that belly! Are you about to pop any day now?"
🤦🤦🤦🙂
It honestly drives me up the wall when I see those comments, you know? People acting like they have some kind of authority on my life, saying things like, "Well, if you had just managed your time better, you'd be at the age where 🤦 🙂
" As if! Honestly, if it wasn't for those unexpected setbacks and life just throwing curveballs my way, I would have been a mom three years ago already...
rowdyraven49 said:Does anyone here have experience dealing with ovarian cysts? I was just diagnosed with an 8x6 cm follicular cyst, and my laparoscopy is already scheduled for November. The thing is, I’m feeling this constant stabbing sensation on both sides, even though the cyst is specifically on my left ovary. Has anyone actually had a cyst rupture before their surgery? What are the symptoms like? How intense is the pain?
Has the size of the cyst been growing at all, or has it stayed pretty much the same? And do you know if they're planning to remove the whole ovary, too?? I'm actually in a similar boat with an 8.8x6.5 cm cyst myself, but for now, they're just monitoring it since I'm seven weeks pregnant. My tumor markers have been quite elevated lately, too...
Honestly, I wouldn't say it’s the healthiest move because you might find yourself putting on weight pretty quickly since you're basically just gaining fat, and now that winter is starting to settle in, maybe having that extra layer won't be such a bad thing to keep you warm, especially since we Americans are all known for being total wimps when the temperature drops, right?
I think I might actually give that a shot myself, specifically sticking to the idea that you really need to pick up some extra protein, maybe in a shake or something similar? You can always just have them delivered right to your door, too. Honestly, a guy once sent me an email with descriptions of all these different supplements that supposedly work wonders—at least according to everyone else's experience—but I ended up passing on ordering them because, let's be real, they were just way too pricey for my budget.
