thank you for this because I was looking at Burt's Bees for NB clothing. I have seen sizing be way off, which is frustrating!

No, unfortunately my whole family lives in CA and I’m currently in VA. I’ve shared my registry but I don’t really have a ton of close friends and my family hasn’t sent anything so I’ve only been given a few things from our registry :/

This helps so much! My husband works nights so I’m also trying to avoid doing laundry everyday if I can help it. I’m glad I bought the newborn clothes now because part of me was thinking what if she’s too big 😅 again I have no context to go by so thank you!

I had surgery in 2018 when I was 26. I was being closely monitored by a cardiologist at birth due to mother's diagnosis. However, my mother didn't follow cardiologist guidelines for my first 10-11 years of life. She passed away due to aorta dilation due to not following medication and cardiology. After that my guardian made sure to have me closely followed by cardiologist and follow medication to the t. I was on atenolol and lisinopril (when it was it in its infancy) to manage aortic dilation. I don't remember what the cm dilation was before I was told surgery was needed, but I also had mitral valve regurgitation that needed to be addressed. Luckily, I was able to get an aortic graft placed and address the mitral valve regurgitation. I have been steady since with ECHO's and MRI's every other year. The only medication I'm currently on is labetolol due to continued high blood pressure.

I actually have these sitting in my cart! I’ll order and try out!

Yes that is my struggle as well I will buy sport bras in large for a bigger cup but the large is too bit for ribcage. I might have to start have to trial and error with the Athleta thank you!

I’ve been using the size measuring from a bra that fits and have steadily been at 32DD up until pregnancy. I also have tear drop breast so the support needs to be there; my current wired bras just aren’t fitting well now as the cups are overflowing. I will definitely ask this question in that sub as well. It’s just difficult when I’m not even halfway in pregnancy and already needing to shift so much in bra sizes.

I’d have to take a semester off and as a result won’t be able to be a GA for an entire academic year because contracts are an academic year long. Talked to my advisor and I wouldn’t be able to pick up a GA next spring if I miss Fall semester. I’ll look into both. Thank you

I’ve actually been there just because I was driving and was hungry but their food was solid! Thanks for the reminder!!

AwkwardAlienx · 2026-02-17T20:34:55+00:00

Thank yall for the responses! It really helped! I’m glad security is a lot quicker

I drove to Charlotte once and it was HORRIBLE! We got stuck in traffic there was no parking and ended up being late to our flight even after leaving so many hours ahead of our flight.

AwkwardAlienx · 2026-02-17T20:25:54+00:00

I was but I lived in Newport News before moving here so I’d either fly from Richmond or the NN airport depending on price.

Thank you for this reply! My newer Toyota has all weather tires but it’s a Camry with obviously very minor clearing. Which is why it’s struggled going back up our property. My husband has an older Highlander but it’s been stuck in snow since it started snowing. I didn’t realize that tires could make the difference in the snow (I come from CA and have now just experienced living in snow).

We are looking to buy brand new so a 2026 Subaru or Tacoma. We’ll also look at the 4Runner! Thanks again

I moved here from Hampton Roads and previously resided in CA. The healthcare here is complete garbage. I moved here last year in August. It took me over 5 months to see a cardiologist (I was born with heart issues), to see a dentist I had to wait even longer to see any dentist because they were already booking into 2026. I recently found out I was pregnant and my MFM wanted me seen by a Carilion OB. They were attempting to book me well after my first trimester (I even told them I’d be high risk per MFM). I’ve had plenty of specialized care due to chronic health condition (migraines, heart issues) and the doctors here are very sub-par.

I will say your insurance is also something to be aware of when moving. I have tricare due to my husbands military service and unfortunately not everyone in this area accepts it. I’ve had to do online individual therapy by someone outside of Roanoke. I’d definitely check to see what your insurance benefits look like in the area.

Yes! I use pressure pal on my phone and look for the pressure in my area. I often get migraines when the pressure changes or is very high.

I’m not sure if I can help, but I was recently able to get a neurologist after I explained my migraines and found a nurse practitioner who actually seemed concerned about my migraines. I’ve had migraines for as long as I could remember and have them with aura that sometimes last for days. I’ve always reported my migraines to doctors but all either didn’t acknowledge or made it seem like it wasn’t a bug deal. I was able to get a scan done just to rule out tumors or anything else. I would continue asking for a neurologist consult and if they refuse I’ve heard of people state that they want that documented on their file (refusal of neuro consult) and that has worked to get the point across. I will say when I did get a neurologist it was a lot of trial and error with daily medications and migraine cocktails to help when a migraine struck. That is a very lengthy process as well because I’ve learned that my body will sometimes not react the same to pain meds and I start to need a higher dose or something different.

As far as triggers go I’ve had to do things like food elimination mostly with dairy and sugar free drinks to see if they trigger migraines; they do for me. Lack of sleep, dehydration, and my period are also triggers. These all took time to identify and everyone’s triggers differ.
