Hi Team,

Wondering if anyone has a regimen for terrible neck/ shoulder pain causing headaches.

I am prone to headaches and this type of neck and shoulder pain ( worse in on left ) I think it has come from weak gluts and a right foot injury 9 years ago Outside of pregnancy it goes away with excedrin in AM then sleep in PM + hydration.

I have tried everything including massage and I have had a headache on and off( mostly on ) for 4 days now.

I did Pilates, yoga, hiking, boxing prior to and during I pregnancy which I will continue but I need something more targeted.

After I deal with the acute pain ( planning to do acupuncture ) Any exercise regimens that anyone has to keep this at bay? I can tell this is going to get worse. I want to stay strong !

Hi all,

I am Indian American and my husband is Jewish American.

We both love the name Ira because it has Hebrew and Sanskrit origin. Ira in Sanskrit means earth and is usually a girl’s name.

We don’t know if we are having a girl or boy.

To the Jewish ear how would it sound if a girl was named Ira, spelled Ayra, pronounced EYE-rah?

Thoughts ?

Hi Team,

Looking for a baby name… don’t know boy or girl yet.

I am Telugu American and my husband is Jewish American. We want to name the kid after a grandmother who passed ( Jewish tradition ), so preferably a name that starts with an R.

Any suggestions for Telugu / Sanskrit names that could work in the US ? Boy or girl.

We like Ranya, Reva, Richa, Rudra… but I don’t know if they are South Indian enough. Need more options!

Please help !

How would English speakers pronounce this name ?

I am trying to find a name for a Hindu Jewish baby with meanings in both Sanskrit and Hebrew and trying to see if this would sound good in typical
American English.

Has anybody else lost all their symptoms at 10 to 11 weeks and suddenly feel great and still have an ongoing pregnancy? I’m 40 and terrified of a loss.

I felt like I had the flu every day before and had acid reflux and tons of hunger. I was exhausted and took afternoon naps. Now all of a sudden I can hike 8 miles and eat anything. I don’t have horrible smell aversions. My bloating went down and I feel totally normal- not pregnant at all. I feel like it’s all a dream and I was never pregnant.

I know the placenta is taking over so it can change symptoms … but wondering if anybody else had this experience?

I had a loss at 6 weeks and at that time I lost all my symptoms too. Terrified now. Can’t imagine one now after seeing a 10 week fetus bumping around.

Any stories appreciated!

UPDATE: Got and ultrasound and everything looks good ! Fetus kicking and moving!
