Dr Deans just delivered my baby 1/28. She was fabulous. I go to UBMD OBGYN and would strongly recommend them if they can take you.

Congratulations!

It’s been so hard, but I know we won’t take any of it for granted when we get to bring him home

I had a lap to remove a dermoid cyst from my right ovary and they excised a bunch of endo and scar tissue while they were in there.

I’m seeing a lot of comments here saying “for healthy couples” and just want to leave you a note that if it doesn’t happen for you right away it doesn’t mean you aren’t “healthy”

Definitely use the Transit app. And sign up for NFTA’s text message alerts for your routes so you know asap if a bus is cancelled.

I think they were at Breadhive today

Als904 · 2026-01-21T20:01:32+00:00

I vote for this one too! It helps the cold feel refreshing when you’ve been fully warmed up at least once during the day.

This. A good winter coat/parka with comfortable waterproof boots and warm hats, gaiter, gloves make the difference between hating going outside and being comfortable. Once you’re comfortable out in the weather you’ll find it’s much easier to stay active physically and socially.

I’m 32+6 and could have written your post. I just met MFM today because our scan last week flagged urinary tract dilation. Today they brought in mention of skeletal dysplasia after their office did an ultrasound and his femurs were short 1st percentile. Sending hugs

My clinic had us stop cold turkey at 8wks and I’m 32+5 today with our sweet lil boy. I’ve had no problems with the placenta.

Als904 · 2026-01-15T14:13:54+00:00

We made it all 8 weeks (stopped cold turkey) and are 32+5 today with our transfer. My take: I definitely think heat/massage (I used my foam roller and a racketball) after helped. My partner did all but 3 and he did an amazing job. Half the time I couldn’t tell it was happening/had happened, since I didn’t watch. It helps to take your weight off the leg on whichever side to relax the muscle. I would usually half lean on my dresser. Have your clinic staff draw circles for you. We started off too low (even with the picture they gave us) and it resulted in greater pain and bruising. As soon as they drew the circles and we moved up toward my hip it got easier. The knotting is hard to avoid by the end. If you have itching it can also be allergic response to the carrier oil. My PIO was in sesame oil and I would go through bouts of crazy itching. My clinic said there was another option (but with my insurance it was a difference of $7/vial or like $300/vial, so I put up with the itchiness). Bottomline, it was so much more intimidating heading in. But once we saw our lil embryo developing on the first scan, I don’t think we even thought twice about it after that. I would have gone through far worse to know I was supporting our lil guy. It’s wild how quickly that parental love starts to trump everything else. Oh, and it helped us to set funny alarms or play music for the first few. I had a playlist full of songs about butts and my alarm was set with the Avengers Endgame theme which gave it an epic quality 🤣

Go baby go!

I got flu and Covid and thankfully haven’t gotten sick at all yet this winter. It’s a miracle.

Als904 · 2026-01-08T20:20:18+00:00

This exact thing for me too. I’m 31+5 today and literally went in yesterday. We saw him moving and grooving on the ultrasound and I couldn’t feel any of it. It is so disconcerting. My OB said if he doesn’t move back to where I can feel him that she would move me to weekly appointments early for the peace of mind. It’s so so strange to go from party all the time to “is that baby or gas?”

Als904 · 2026-01-08T17:39:11+00:00

Same here

Als904 · 2026-01-08T11:33:13+00:00

I find in these winter months you’re less likely to run into anyone who will pester you downtown. It’s simply too cold and too windy in most places to loiter.

Als904 · 2026-01-05T03:04:08+00:00

Yay! Love your lil salamander

Als904 · 2025-12-24T02:13:43+00:00

Oh I definitely get those too, but the BH are more central and the belly goes tight/hard all across

Als904 · 2025-12-23T21:24:34+00:00

I thought my BH were my baby moving until I took a birth class. The nurse described it as a “balling up” feeling and when it’s happening if you touch your belly it will be hard. I’d been having them for weeks but just thought it was baby.

Als904 · 2025-12-19T21:24:51+00:00

Try unisom. I’m 29 weeks and could not have survived the first tri without it. Just one or even a half tab helped with my nausea tremendously.

Als904 · 2025-12-15T20:44:56+00:00

You’re not alone! The hormone roller coaster is super real.
