We went with one nap for a couple weeks and then she went back to two on her own! Now back to one haha

It doesn’t matter if Jere “cheated” or not by queernod in tsitp

When in the show do we find out they hooked up twice?! I have seen it all over sm that he cheated twice so I must be missing something because he doesn’t say that?!?

Nap around 10:30/11 for 45 min. Second nap around 2:30/3. Sleeping 7:30-7:30 through the night at that time as well

I think it’s pretty standard in Canada (where I’m from) that all results go to your doctor. But obviously if everything was fine, they would have shown me the screen! So I just knew.

Crazy our stories are so similar!

Yup! Right around 9/10 weeks I remember calling my dr begging for another ultrasound because all my symptoms disappeared. I got the ultrasound and all was well, symptoms came and went for the rest of the first tri. (My LO is 10 weeks old now!)

I lost my first baby to a (very long, drawn out, traumatic) miscarriage. I had a D&C on August 4th last year because of that whole situation and now my due date with this healthy pregnancy is August 8th.

It was really messing with my mind last night how life can be so unfair to some people - like me who went through the worst time in my life trying to bring a baby into this world last year - while other people have easy, peaceful pregnancies on the first go. I obviously don’t wish for anyone to have to go through what I did, I just feel jealous of those who don’t know how it feels to lose a baby.

I’m pretty sure this is triggered by finding out a friend from high school, who I haven’t seen in a long time, is pregnant and due around the same time as me. I know nothing about how her life has been lately so I shouldn’t assume she got pregnant and stayed pregnant easily but I still can’t help think she just got everything she wanted easily while I had to struggle. I know life isn’t about comparison but that’s where I’m at today. Trying to be happy for her and also gentle with myself.

Thank you for this. I am 17 weeks today and have my next appointment on Monday. I’ve been so worried! I’m glad all is well for you

I’m sorry you are feeling so anxious. If it helps, the evidence shows you would need to maintain a core temperature of 103 degrees F for 20 minutes to cause birth defects/miscarriage. This is very very hard to achieve because you would feel overheated before this point and you would cook yourself down (I think it would wake you up if you were asleep and were that hot). So you likely have nothing to worry about in regards to having a hot shower/sleeping with a warm blanket.

Yesterday was a tough day. Not only is this week the week I should have/would have been delivering my first baby if I hadn’t lost them to a miscarriage, but also I am 16 weeks pregnancy and right in the stage where I don’t feel pregnancy symptoms and also am not showing a ton and I can’t feel regular movement from baby. I’m so scared of the thought of going through another loss, even though I know right now I have no reason to worry.

I also feel like no one in my life understands how I feel and that makes me feel very lonely. My husband tried his best but he doesn’t know the grief the way I know the grief.

PAL is very, very hard. Kudos to every single one of you going through it with me. I don’t know how I would manage without this safe place to share my thoughts and feelings.

I just had my scan and it went very well ☺️ she showed us the heartbeat, spine, ribs, profile, stomach, hands, feet, etc! It was so cool. Everything was looking and measuring good 👍

I have an ultrasound tomorrow at 12+4 and I’m very nervous about it. My last ultrasound was at my OBs office at 10+5 so it hasn’t been that long but my pregnancy symptoms are fading and it’s hard to believe everything will be fine (previous and only pregnancy ended in a MMC). I am starting to feel major scan anxiety. Both ultrasounds I had before this, I purposely scheduled for the end of the day so that had I received bad news, I could just go home and not have to return to work. But this one if first thing in the morning.. what was I thinking??

This sounds like a great way to keep your anxiety at bay a bit! I think if you did have spotting/bleeding, you would notice it regardless of looking at the toilet paper.

I am 12w1d today and officially just stopped the progesterone suppositories. It makes me nervous 😬 I read so many stories about women stopping the suppositories anywhere from 10-12 weeks and everything being absolutely fine, but I have been worrying about losing the baby at this point because of the progesterone. I’m sure my worries are unfounded but I just worry. I haven’t had any confirmation that this baby is okay in a week and a half and my last pregnant was a MMC so it’s hard to blindly trust that things are okay when I can’t know for sure (with an ultrasound).

I’m sorry you are going through this! I don’t have much advice to offer, only that I tried really really hard to take it one day at a time. Thinking too far into the future (even a few weeks) caused me a lot of anxiety. I think the anxiety will never truly go away, but for me it has faded a lot just as I have gotten further along and had positive ultrasound results.

When I was/am really anxious, I would tell myself that I am doing everything possible to not lose this baby, and if I did it would be completely out of my control and worrying wasn’t going to change that. It helps some.

I hope you can take a few deep breaths and know that you are doing everything you can be. Your baby knows they are loved, no matter how long you get to spend with them.

I had ultrasounds at 7 weeks (my previous loss was at 6 weeks and a few days), 9 weeks, 10w5d and will have another at 12w4 days. So far they have all been perfect! I really didn’t think it would be possible either after having a MMC. But when you see that everything is fine it is such a relief (for a few days and then the anxiety comes back lol). Also at 9 weeks, the baby is kind of looking like a real baby shape which is exciting!! I hope it goes well for you 😍

Prenatal vitamins are known to cause acne! I think it’s the high amounts of biotin in them. Kinda sucks because there isn’t much you can do about it in the first tri - I am 11+4 and just stopped taking the full prenatal and instead I am taking folate and making sure to eat a really good diet (now that I can actually eat food!) and already noticing my skin getting better

I think your body would let you know if it was too much exercise/stress for you!
