At home heart monitors

Wondering if others have found these products useful to have. If so, which brand did you get? I did a little research and it was saying online not to use them so I held off on ordering one but I could see how in some situations it could be useful to have

For added context, I’m planning to give birth at a birth center. It is a bit far from my home so I plan to head to the area once contractions start. Currently 5 months pregnant

Frustrated looking for maternity clothes

I was an xxl prior to getting pregnant, currently 5 months pregnant. I haven’t really needed to get a whole lot so far in terms of maternity clothes. Recently I was looking around online for a dress for my baby shower and was surprised the biggest size on most websites is xl. I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised since this is what it’s always like trying to shop but this is maternity after all. What is the point of selling maternity clothes if there are no larger sizes available? And some dresses only had size s or m left in stock. Ridiculous. Would love some recommendations for reputable stores that sell maternity clothes or something appropriate for my baby shower. I especially love natural materials like 100% cotton. I ended up ordering something from torrid which I’ll try but it’s shorter than I’d prefer. Thanks

Towns with walkable downtown area

I’ve been raised in NJ my entire life. I understand not wanting to give up a “best kept secret” so if you feel that way please feel free to not respond.

I lived in north NJ majority of my life recently moved
to south NJ. Not loving the vibe down here as it’s not what I’m used to but I understand houses are way more affordable down here.

I’m looking for suggestions for towns or cities with a cute walkable downtown area. Budget is let’s say under $750k.

Bonus points if not a huge flood risk, no data centers, no horrible superfund sites, at least somewhat diverse. And huge bonus points if in or not too far from north jersey

🙏

Avoid Capital Health

I have been going to Capital Health for my pregnancy and it’s been all around a bad experience. I’ve been to a few of their offices. If you are looking obgyn or prenatal care look elsewhere.
