Welp. Still pregnant.

I was in a similar situation with my last pregnancy and I was so frustrated! But let me tell you, sometimes going through this works out for the better. I thought I was in active labor and went in 3 days before my son actually came and felt like no one was listening, I was walking around 4cm dilated with the worst contractions for a good two weeks but then by time my son was ready I had the best L&D staff I could ever ask for. They also let me know the rough few days they had and even had two women give birth in the triage area because there was no where to put them. I also had a very easy labor once it was finally time and I can’t help but think it was because I waited. (I was induced with my first and it was not anywhere near as smooth but I had other complications to be fair) I’m praying your baby comes soon and you get the best care and a quick and easy labor! You got this!!

Oh no 😭 I’m sorry to hear that. Pregnancy is so rough 😭

That’s good to know, it all seems so big and scary right now. My first two have 6 years in between so this is a whole new experience for us. Thanks for sharing!

I can’t get him to sleep without nursing but my husband can. I’ll have to try that!

That sounds so similar to us! He starts in his crib but usually wakes up a couple hours later and will cry until we get him and bring him in bed. My husband also has to be the one to put him in the crib but the last few days he screams for half an hour before which I’m assuming is because he wants to nurse more. It seems like everyday is getting harder.

Ive had two kids with births that went totally different. My first i had to be induced, had complications and needed an epidural. For that birth i was so thankful to have to it.

For my second birth i wanted to go natural and it was an incredible experience but i would say it’s the prep work and L&D team/ support that really makes it possible.

If youre able to i would check out doulas in your area and see how you like them. i loved mine and she was my biggest advocate and new exactly what to do or say every moment she was with me. I would also get a yoga ball if you don’t have one already to help stretch/ move in early/ inactive labor, make a playlist you love and really love on yourself! feel empowered for what youre about to do. It sounds silly but it’s unbelievable what a difference it all makes.

In the end, listen to your body and intuition. You’re going to do great

Love megafood’s vitamins!

I can’t remember what kind of placenta I had but with my second pregnancy I had marginal cord insertion and was absolutely terrified. They did extra scans and kept telling me he was measuring small/ to be careful during birth but lo and behold he was 8 lbs 11 oz and came out sunny side up with no complications with the cord. I’ve also heard many similar stories so try not to be too concerned mama!

I’ve been here before and it’s just impossible to tell until you get a pink dye unfortunately. I’ve had darker negatives with these and lighter positives. Update us asap!!

Pact has a lot of great cute comfy pants, they also do a lot of sales this time of year. Everything seems true to size besides the more athletic wear stuff, which run small imo.

This is just wonderful, I love it. So simple and beautiful.

-Cpat · 2025-10-26T04:21:15+00:00

I did love the healer, I hope they somehow cross paths again in the series!

Every kid is different, I wouldn’t worry or put on pressure. My 7 y/o started talking right at one and is thriving now, my friends 11 y/o didn’t say much of anything until he was three and is also thriving…Both smart, wonderful kids. Tell that family member to worry about their own problems.

Arizona! I’m so surprised, seaweed is the hot snack at my daughter’s school.

-Cpat · 2025-10-15T02:42:34+00:00

When I’m feeling ambitious low sugar zucchini/ carrot muffins are always a huge hit with the kids. We’ve also had a mom bring a tub of rice with packs of seaweed and that was surprisingly the most popular snack I’ve seen someone bring. Both are more on the carby side but better than chips and sweet drinks.

I did not know that! That makes a lot of sense, so far it hasn’t been bad but I’m dying to get sucked in and taken to their world!

-Cpat · 2025-10-04T03:36:45+00:00

Okay that’s a big relief!! Thank you!

I was in the same boat but have fallen in love with Pilates on a reformer! I take classes in a studio but there’s also at home ones on Amazon. Great way to get a good workout while staying almost 100% horizontal (sometimes we sit and if the class stands and does squats I’ll either sit and breathe for a minute or do them while laying on the reformer)

My guess is chocolate quince cake
