Thoughts On Pregnancy

Being nearly 15 weeks pregnant and going through IVF to get here I feel like I have so many random pregnancy thoughts in my head. This post is a lot of me just verbalizing my thoughts on pregnancy so far!

Thoughts On Pregnancy

Who knew my teeth would start to feel so sensitive? So I have always had sensitive teeth and it’s never been a huge problem but man oh man has the sensitivity gotten worse on my gums and teeth. I have been using the Philips Sonicare Toothbrush and y’all it’s amazing. I have never really used an electric toothbrush before and I love it. I also love that this particular toothbrush has a SENSITIVE setting! YES! Perfect for those of us suffering from severe sensitive teeth issues! I have also been loving LISTERINE floss picks! They are perfect to keep my teeth and gums healthy during this time.

Something else I have learned being pregnant is that I have to be bold. When I need to stand up for something or when someone tells me I’m being silly I have to be bold and fight for what I want. That’s why LISTERINE’s bring out the bold campaign is so great. It’s all about being bold!

Gaining weight is not my favorite, and sometimes it’s just hard on me. While I am happy to pack on the pounds for my little guy, it’s been hard on me emotionally. I am not someone who loses weight easily, and I have suffered from weight and body image issues for as long as I can remember. It’s hard. I am happy with the reasoning, but it’s hard! However pizza is good, so there’s that.

People are SO MUCH NICER when you’re pregnant. Holding doors open, asking how you are, making things easier for you. If everyone treated each other the way people treat women when they are pregnant the world would be a much better place.

I have an addiction to cute baby boy clothes. I can’t stop shopping for them. I mean tiny overalls with whales on them? Tiny cargo shorts? Tiny fedora’s and sunglasses? The cuteness!

I would love to know your thoughts on pregnancy or just your random thoughts today!

I’m partnering with #LISTERINE as part of a LISTERINE® sponsored series for Socialstars™ #Sonicare

    My teeth go through phases of being sensitive. I don’t recall them being sensitive when I was pregnant though. This sound like a great product

  4. I have sensitive teeth too, and pregnancy made mine so much worse – especially with my second baby! The weight gain is tough and the postpartum period is even tougher. But there’s a baby you created and your body just preformed a miracle! And working out helps to save my sanity as a mom, so there’s that, too! 🙂

  5. While pregnant, my gums bled so much and my teeth were super sensitive. The doctor told me it was normal but it sure didn’t feel that way.

    With both of my boys, the second trimester was the best. People can see that you’re pregnant and not just guessing, you feel great after the first trimester, and you still feel comfortable!

    I always say that you are your own best advocate and I guess that is the same as being “bold.” Congratulations on your pregnancy. Make sure you keep advocating for yourself and being bold. Listerine is the only mouthwash our family will use.

    The only thing I didn’t like about being pregnant was that everyone wanted to offer me unsolicited advise AND (guess that is two things) they wanted to touch my belly. I really did not like that.

    Congratulations! Pregnancy can do some crazy weird things to your body. I suffered tooth sensitivity, too. It was pretty miserable. I think most women dislike gaining the weight and I’m prolactin sensitive so I have a really hard time losing the weight while nursing. Talk about frustrating! Baby boy clothing is adorable. It’s hard for me to resist buying my boys cute outfits even now that they aren’t baby babies anymore.

  20. I’ve had two pregnancies and broken teeth during oth of them…so I feel you on the sensitive teeth front! Gaining the weight is kind of crappy, but I did enjoy the excuse to just enjoy indulgent foods ;).

    I know that when I have kids I am going to feel the same way that you do about gaining weight. That is one of the main reasons why I do not want to get pregnant. I have never heard of anyone (until now) that their teeth have gotten sensitive after getting pregnant. And def ask for what you want! Good for you!

    It’s funny how the people around you change when they find out you’re expecting. Being pregnant is beautiful. Don’t worry about whether or not you’ll be able to take off the weight, eat right and keep active. Your baby needs a healthy mama.

    This new toothbrush rocks! I have a bad habit of brushing too hard so the sensitive setting would be perfect.
