That’s how I feel. I haven’t had sex in over 2 months I’m not pregnant but my brain has convinced me to the point where I think I’m experiencing symptoms. I literally bought a test to confirm and it was such a waste of money 😭

For the women who do want kids I imagine it’s a dream to be mostly asymptomatic.

At home urine tests do detect them if taken later since the hcg would be high enough if say you’re 10-11 weeks out

it’s when you don’t show any signs of pregnancy and you basically don’t know you’re pregnant until you give birth

1

Alcohol is the first thing to come to mind. But you also aren’t supposed to eat processed meat, fish, scoop cat litter etc etc. there’s so many things that can go wrong

Yeah some women don’t know until they’re months and months in which is why getting check ups is so important

You’re getting downvoted because not all people who drink are alcoholics. The commenter was talking about casual drinking, like a glass of wine with dinner on occasion. That is a worry a lot of women have after a cryptic pregnancy because they did sometimes casually drink even if nothing bad did happen. And all of this just comes off as elitist, you’re not better than anyone else for not drinking, not being around cats, and not eating processed meat. It’s a fine personal choice, but your-

Phrasing implies people are “lesser” for doing those things normally when they don’t know they’re pregnant, which is simply not true

2

Yk having an occasional beverage doesn’t make you an alcoholic. But I would never risk it if I was pregnant. And you’re talking about you specifically, there’s 10000 things that most women do that they shouldn’t while pregnant or at least not take the risk of.

They say there is no healthy amount of alcohol for a fetus lmao. You don’t have to be an alcoholic to cause damage to your fetus

9

Would you really risk your baby though? Like, drinking at all you’re taking that risk. I just don’t see how it’d be worth it

6

The CDC says otherwise

And risking your kids health by consuming any alcohol while pregnant is lesser behavior.

Straight from the CDC website

You are the only one defending drinking while pregnant lmao

9

I don’t think anyone here defended drinking while pregnant. I think we’re both saying that we’re scared of a cryptic pregnancy because we’re scared to drink while pregnant

5

No we were defending the women who didn’t know they’re were pregnant drinking, they were just living like normal people. You were, and are, the one acting like any of this makes you better than anyone else

5

You literally said it’s fine as long as you aren’t getting trashed in the last month of pregnancy lmao

No one is talking about being an alcoholic or drug addict, we r saying people who casually drink are not as evil as you imply. You are not better than casual drinkers for your personal choice

Hot take but having a glass of wine to help anxiety is the same as taking lexapro to help anxiety. Both drugs with negative side effects used in a healthy way in moderation. Using drugs is normal (besides like hard drugs ofc)

Well and if we really want to get into it there’s certain medications you’re not supposed to take while pregnant also. And if you don’t know you’re pregnant you can’t quit said medications

even with drugs like fentanyl or opioids, they still have a medicinal purpose

Yeah that’s what makes cryptic pregnancy so scary, what if it’s a accutane baby😀

Having a kid in general is a great fear of mine because I’m scared I’ll fuck it up raising it. But then the idea of fucking it up before it even took its first breath is even worse.

I just don’t wanna pass down my shitty genetics😭 that’s my worst fear creating another person with my mix of mental health problems and physical health problems, plus genetic predisposition to diabetes and pancreatic cancer😀

No that’s literally why I don’t want to have a kid. I’m terrified of giving them my shitty mental health. Maybe I’ll consider it after a lot therapy and hope that nurture beats nature. But rn I couldn’t handle raising a kid at all.
