I’m looking at going to see one of my favorite bands next month and I’ll be 19 weeks.
I don’t remember being in much pain with my first until my 3rd trimester.
My biggest concern is I was in preterm labor with my first and delivered him 6 weeks early.
Starting in a few weeks I’ll be getting transvaginal ultrasounds to ensure my cervix isn’t shortening. I read even if I need a cerclage that I won’t be on bed rest. The concert is November 7th and I start these tests starting October 19. So the first appointment will jsut be baseline and then I’ll have one more official appointment for these tests before the concert that will show if it shortened at all. I’m just so scared that appointment will show and they’ll want to put the cerclage in that same week of the concert. Don’t know what to do. Guess I’ll ask my doctor.

I know it’s typically a boy name, especially in other countries besides the US. But everyone I talk to when I say I want to name my son Rory, they say they have never met a boy Rory and reference Gilmore Girls. 😭 this name just feels so right and I never thought of it as a girl name, regardless of Gilmore Girls. Others opinions obviously won’t stop me from using the name, I’m just trying to avoid names that he might get bullied with when he grows older.

What are your thoughts?

Me and my sister are both pregnant and have the exact same due dates. She just found out yesterday her baby stopped growing after her last appointment at 7 weeks. She would make 11 weeks tomorrow. This has been very very triggering for me as I have had a previous loss and TTC this baby for quite some time now. When I got pregnant I was a wreck for many weeks and feel like up until just last week I’ve started easing up on my anxiety. Now it’s all flooding back in and she doesn’t really have anyone else besides me so I am doing my best to be here as much as I can be but I am crumbling apart. I have been having immense panic attacks and so much constant worry. I am not coping well with this. Usually when something is triggering like this I politely have to say I’m sorry I have to remove myself from this, but I know in this situation I shouldn’t and I won’t. I have no friends that can relate to me, they’re all men. I don’t have a village. So I’m here on reddit. My husband of course is comforting, but still. I just don’t know how to handle this all. Especially knowing every milestone I have, she should be having as well. This has just been rough.

I’m interested in getting the “Momcozy Pregnancy Belly Band, CozySupport 3D Ergonest Maternity Belly Band” the one that doesn’t have the straps that go on shoulders, but does have the strap under bust.

If you have used this how did it work being plus size? I am 5’3 usually wear an 16/18 pant and a large shirt. My bra size is 42D.

I’m just concerned it will accentuate my back rolls more

We did the Natera Panorama, their website says 9 weeks is the earliest. My OB swears that 8 weeks is the new norm and he’s only seen successful fetal fractions at this time and that BMI is no longer a factor. I’m not feeling very confident at all, but we will see. It was received at the lab 5 days ago, still waiting on results. Will update when they come. Worst comes to worst, I’ll get a redraw.

Update: results came back exactly 7 days later. Low risk.

I NEVER want subway unless I’m pregnant and I hate hot subs. I’ve thought about taking the turkey off at home and then heating it up but then if it does have listeria wouldn’t it just taint the entire sandwich anyways?

I know I could just risk it but I am not that type of person lmao.

Once I went through the drive thru at the time the app said my order would be ready by. They said it wasn’t ready and I had to come back through line. Cool.

I asked them when I should come to line she said when the app marks it’s in progress. Fine.

Then I’ve started realizing it doesn’t always update. My sandwich was ice cold and the cold foam was pretty melted a few times that I’ve waited a substantial time because the app never said in progress. It only updated to order is ready once I drove away from drive thru.

I’m not complaining, I want to do it right. I don’t want to inconvenience the baristas as I know arriving too early will cause them to back up.
Going inside is hard for me. I’m pregnant with a toddler and it’s just much easier doing drive thru.

I’ll obv reach out to Jampack on Monday but we just bought a house and I’ll need to change my shipping address. Has anyone done this successfully in the past?

This is my second pregnancy and my first OB never gave me clarification on how to use the unisom and b6 combo so I only did it at night and sometimes during the day but wasn’t consistent.

My new OB told me to do it at night too, but when I google the standard is to take multiple doses of b6 during the day and unisom at night.

So I’m taking 25mg b6 in morning, midday, and at night. Also taking my prenatal now at night. I checked and it only has like barely 2mg of b6 in it so I know I’m well within limit of 200mg daily.

But holy cow taking the b6 during the day has taken my nausea from an 8 to a 5/6. I’m like so shocked this is helping as well as it is and wish I had known sooner!

I know, speed queen, can’t afford that.
Looking for $800 max per piece. I’d reaaaaally like to be lower though. Will be purchasing extended warranty on whichever item as well.

I specifically was looking at the Whirlpool Model #WTW6157PB but not dead set on it.

I don’t need anything fancy, I really just don’t want white.

They have a better priced warranty and price in general on a Samsung refrigerator I’ve been eyeing.

What are the pros and cons going through wayfair for this?

Thanks!

Didn’t expect the doctor at urgent care to tell me that. Two days ago I had a low grade fever of 99.8. Took one 500mg Tylenol and it knocked it out no problem. Hadn’t had body aches or fever since then. But today I still have inflamed sinuses. I thought just maybe I needed an antibiotic for a bacterial infection. But nope, Covid. I’m already feeling better than I did day 1 but can’t help but be worried I’ll miscarry. I’m only 6 weeks and I just feel like my body is going through so much right now. I’m trying so hard not to overthink but it’s hard not to.

I’ve gotten two rounds of the vaccine in 2023, but nothing since. My symptoms have been okay, honestly wouldn’t have even gone to urgent care if I wasn’t pregnant. Feels like a minor cold to me or a sinus infection. Two days ago I started with low grade fever, body aches, stuffy nose. Yesterday I had horrible diarrhea but no fever and body aches were better. Still stuffy nose. Today is just stuffy nose and I’ve lost taste and smell because of how inflamed my sinuses are. I can get a glimpse of taste sometimes if my sinuses aren’t so inflamed. Hoping by tomorrow I’ll get that back.

My mind is blown that I have Covid right after I find out I’m pregnant. I’m also at a stay at home mom to a toddler. This is not for the weak at all. I’m on day 3 so I’m really hoping I’m in the tail end of it all. Ugh. Was hoping it was bacterial so I could just knock it out with an antibiotic.

I had my first child three years ago and my previous doctor made me wait 12 weeks until I got the NIPT. I asked my new provider if BMI effects results of the NIPT and he said no (I’ve seen studies that say yes but maybe in his experience he hasn’t noticed a difference) so he has me going in at 8 weeks to get the test done.

Has anyone had good outcomes testing that early? I know technology has advanced a lot since when I first got it done.

Update: my clinic must be using the Myriad Prequel test. I found this on their website: Prequel® is the only cell-free DNA screen that delivers clear answers to over 99.9% of patients on the first draw at eight weeks regardless of BMI—for the lowest failure rate in the industry of just 0.1%.1,2,3

I’m 5 weeks 6 days and just started with a fever today. It’s only 99.8 but I am miserable. I’ve already taken one 500mg and I definitely feel it no longer working. I don’t think it’s going to cause autism, I just don’t like taking anything while pregnant. Ugh.

TW chemical

I know I probably won’t see much, but just happy to get confirmation. I’ve been extremely anxious and worried since I don’t have many symptoms since finding out at 10dpo. I am 5 weeks and 3 days pregnant according to my last period. So two more days I’ll get my ultrasound. Betas have been doubling about every 32-36hrs. I’ve gotten 4 done. Waiting on last results. I had a chemical last year and have been TTC for 13 months now. So just feeling very thankful but also very nervous.

For my now 3 year old I had a spontaneous preterm labor at 33 weeks. I tested positive 24hrs before my labor began with the fetal fibronectin swab. Once labor started, We did mag drip for 48 hrs but that didn’t stop it completely. Thankfully the steroids were able to kick in. He didn’t have much nicu time, it was only for feeding purposes.

I am now pregnant again at 5 weeks and decided to look up what it means now for a second pregnancy. I see my chances of it happening again is moderate. Looking for other experiences who went through this as well! Thanks.

I have a 3 year old and then last year I had a chemical pregnancy. I’m currently 4 weeks and 6 days pregnant today and have gotten my 4th beta results back.

7/20 17 - progesterone was 13.9
7/21 45
7/23 125
7/28 1261 - progesterone was 23.9

So I see these numbers. I see I’m not actively having another chemical. Yet I feel like I still can’t celebrate or be happy and it’s so sad.
