This is my Second pregnancy (4w2d) for my first I had sore breasts beginning on the fourth week, and right now they are just a tiny bit tender if even. I am wondering if those who feel symptoms on week 4-5 of pregnancy are just feeling progesterone rising? I am also feeling the slightest bits of nausea throughout the day and lots of indigestion but I can’t tell if I’m just imagining those? I just want some symptoms so this can feel like it’s actually happening 😭 I swear I hate week 4 and 5 because it’s chemical territory and nothing feels certain yet, I cannot celebrate or even think I’m pregnant just yet

Curious to mommas who are or were pregnant twice, which pregnancy did you/ are you enjoying more? I have a 13 month old and am tentatively 4 weeks pregnant with #2 if it sticks. I am determined to enjoy this pregnancy more than my first. Including eating healthier, working out more, embracing the bump, maternity shoot, weekly bump pics.. all the things I didn’t do during pregnancy #1 due to loss anxiety

Did anyone enjoy all things pregnancy even more the second go around than their first? Or am I being delusional?

Our daughter is named Noelle and I was thinking to name her future sister Isabelle or Isabel. But I am doubting the double -Elle ending. Should I go with Isabella instead? Other contenders are Isadora and Camilla. Which is your favorite?

Hello, my husband has begun a new rule that when our 13 month old screams we should not give her what she wants. Example, at the restaurant she was very hungry and yelling in anger for her food, my husband would not give her food until she became calm. Is she too young for this kind of reinforcing? He also says I cannot pick her up if she screams because we shouldn’t comfort poor behavior? I don’t think she understands this kind of boundary yet and she is just expressing her frustration the only way she knows how. she cannot talk yet and her only word she knows is “uh oh” …

Ok so the last two times I went to Olive Garden I tried the lighter portions because it’s cheaper and I can’t finish the full sized. The chicken parm lighter portion is on point, you get a decent amount of food and it seems as advertised.

So tonight we went for dinner and I ventured to try the ravioli lighter portion. The plate was so small, it came with only 5 medium sized raviolis, and primarily consisted of melted cheese. Will not be getting that again. Are any of the other lighter options a joke? I want a lighter size but don’t want to feel like I’m eating a kids meal, at least put the raviolis on a bigger plate? I am thinking of trying the five cheese pasta bake next time.
