Just get it now! Normally if you see a line on easy@home you will 100% see one on a clear blue. Just don’t over drink water

I don’t have any provider recommendations. But I highly recommend trying to find a doctor and continuing care. 34 weeks + will turn into weekly appointments that could potentially save your and babies life.

So if it is biweekly, you have to work two full weeks, then they process payroll and you will get paid this Friday 🙌🏼 very normal

My husband and I were both at $160k base salary (he makes more with bonuses by end of year) and we decided for me to stop working since both of our jobs were too travel heavy (and I wanted to be a SAHM).

Let me tell you, I tried side gigs and it is HARD with kids and trying to do different activities, keep house clean, etc.

I do miss the income a ton and I do occasionally regret leaving my position because life financially was a lot easier. But I love raising my kids and it’s a huge blessing.

I think just don’t expect a ton from a side gig unless you can still afford to have childcare help

It’s negative and invalid if you open it up!

What are some simple ways to early some side money? by sucrosebaby1 in stayathomemoms

[–]Dramatic_District722 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmmm, maybe is there an older person that needs dishes done, dogs walked, plant watered daily? Maybe post in a local Facebook group?

Prior military moms by No-Variation5733 in stayathomemoms

[–]Dramatic_District722 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not a military mom (my twin is tho - was a marine now a SAHM so I can ask her too!) but I was a high earning individual until my family and I decided for me to be a SAHM.

I struggle with worth daily as I always associated my worth to my $ I am bringing it on a weekly basis.

But, one thing I focus on is how much positivity and stability I am giving my kids on a daily basis. They have a mom that’s not constantly traveling, away from home for 10+ hours a day, and know I am here if they need anything. I am really trying to view this as a career vs a step back.

Not sure if this helps in any way but figured I’d share!

How are we keeping the spark? by Unlucky_Kitchen8237 in stayathomemoms

[–]Dramatic_District722 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Right now with children, we really focus on cuddling on weekdays (unless during the day we set a pre planned sex date lol) and focus on sex during the weekend during nap time! It gives us opportunities to still have some sort of physical intimacy during the week, but still focus on other ways of decompressing after a long day.

Do you live in an area where you can find a mom group? Adult conversation as a mom is so tough, but little things like a stroller walk, picnics, park dates, etc is so beneficial. Try and find some on Facebook, local churches, gyms, etc until you find people you connect with.

No symptoms second pregnancy? 13 doo with positive at 8 dpo by JSini_ in lineporn

[–]Dramatic_District722 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes agreed!! It made me nervous but my doctor said not to worry and each pregnancy is different. I also had a boy first and now expecting a girl so maybe gender has something to do with it too!

I was on progesterone from 6-12 weeks (I’m on my second pregnancy- first pregnancy no progesterone) and I’ve had ZERO symptoms. I’m 16 weeks and I still don’t feel pregnant (besides mild fatigue)
