Holy sh*t, I’m having a baby

Even though I am 6.5 months along it’s still so hard to believe I am having a baby😮

I am excited and nervous. I can’t wait to see what she looks like. My next ultrasound isn’t till November 9th, I’m so impatient!!!

Just wait until you’re latching her on and you are like I guess this is real.

Haha yeah, one of my ultrasound techs said it doesn’t really set in until they’re handing you the baby! LOL

Yeah, that must be an exciting position to be in, all the best with the baby @anon61987434 . I’d be wondering what traits the baby gets from each parent too.

I found this fact interesting when I first learned it, statistically and evolutionary speaking babies tend to (but not always) resemble the father.

Super exciting stuff @anon61987434! :slightly_smiling_face:

I’ve been away from the forum for a bit:

Are you still on meds? If so, which ones?

Eventually I’d like to have kids myself, so just seeing how it’s been playing out for you :slightly_smiling_face:

Oh gosh hahaha I can’t even imagine what my husband would look like as a girl😂

I hope she resembles both of us… but we will see.

Yes I am definitely still on meds!! I didn’t wanna risk going into psychosis while pregnant. I am on 15mg abilify. I was on lexapro as well (an antidepressant) but I stopped taking that when I found out I was pregnant and everything has been fine thus far🙂

My doctors told me the risk with taking abilify while pregnant is that the bebe could have withdrawals for a couple weeks after she’s born :confused: but I will just hope for the best that she won’t!

lol, don’t worry! My friend had a baby girl with his girlfriend when he was 15 and the baby really resembled him. But when she grew up she looked more like her mother.

There’s a few features of her fathers I hope she does get though🙂

Being a mom is so rewarding. Stressful, at times very stressful, but totally and completely worth it
