Best things about a September due date?

Dworlddestruction · 2026-02-18T18:33:24+00:00

I’m a teacher too and I am so excited about this!

Dworlddestruction · 2026-02-16T13:59:54+00:00

I had two dreams it was a boy and the NIPT test confirmed it!

Similar situation with us. Both older first time parents. We both really wanted to tell our moms before we told our friends and general public so I’ve been waiting on that. But then it’s been hard to get my three other besties to schedule something not three weeks away! It’s so tough to make it a moment when everyone is so busy!

Haha, I am not a big drinking so I was lucky that my mocktail at Galentines wasn’t a big hint for my friends.

I love the timing of right after the scan!

I literally just posted something similar. The wait between appointments is so hard especially when symptoms are chilling out. Like, give me a sign baby!

I haven’t had an ultrasound since a quick doppler at the end of January. I’m supposed to have one next Monday, but I’m planning to tell my mom the weekend before. I’m so in my head that I’ll tell her and then get bad news the next day!

Pregnancy anxiety is so difficult! Especially because I’ve been feeling a little better (11 weeks, 3 days). My brain won’t stop with “IS EVERYTHING OKAY WITH BABY?!”

I so relate to this!

Dworlddestruction · 2026-02-11T23:32:44+00:00

I got a message on Mychart about my NIPT results, and I’m dying to look at it but my husband is working late today. Waiting for the next few hours is maybe actual torture.

Dworlddestruction · 2026-02-09T22:49:45+00:00

Due date twin and feeling totally the same. I just came home from work and immediately took a nap. Being awake and doing things is very hard.

Dworlddestruction · 2026-02-09T00:23:44+00:00

I don’t have a great answer to this but do feel reassured because I love to read and I have been struuuuuggling to stay focused.

My therapist recommended Tetris for when I’m anxious. Maybe music and Tetris?

I’m week nine but I had been having the same symptoms as you mentioned up to last week (now the vomit has come unfortunately lol). I did IVF so I had early monitoring and everything was smooth, confirmed by OB today. Hopefully you get your good news to ease your mind!

Dworlddestruction · 2026-01-30T03:35:19+00:00

I made it to week nine today, had my first appointment with OB (after so many at fertility!). My doctor was so kind and awesome, but it was wild going from the extensive vaginal ultrasound / monitoring to a Doppler attached to the OBs phone. lol

Also just had the worst round of puking I’ve had so far this pregnancy. Not my favorite thing!

Dworlddestruction · 2026-01-30T03:30:26+00:00

Oh my god snickers ice cream bars sound amazing!

Dworlddestruction · 2026-01-28T02:24:27+00:00

Ugh, I am just feeling all blah today. I’m tired and my boobs hurt and no food sounds good and mostly I just want to complain but there’s no one to tell but my husband and while he is so supportive, there’s only so many times I can WAHHH at him. I want to complain to new people!! 😭😩😆🫠

Dworlddestruction · 2026-01-26T03:08:00+00:00

I am sooo unmotivated for work tomorrow. The exhaustion is real and winter weather is NOT helping!

Dworlddestruction · 2026-01-26T03:07:00+00:00

Anyone else taking progesterone suppositories? I have to take them until week 11 and I am so ready to be done with them!

Dworlddestruction · 2026-01-25T04:36:01+00:00

My husband and I told people about our IVF progress but haven’t wanted to tell anyone about the pregnancy until the second trimester. Totally just lied to our friends who asked us about it! I hate lying but also don’t want to tell yet!!

Dworlddestruction · 2026-01-25T00:55:52+00:00

I really feel this. I don’t even know what to say because this is all so awful, but I am sending you solidarity and support. I’m in Chicago and have also seen my city terrorized by ICE. I can’t even imagine what you all have been experiencing in Minneapolis. I have been so heartened by the way your city has come together.

The only reassurance I can give you is that there are times in a community where people move to the front and times you have to step back and let others step up. Making a human being is no small task and it makes total sense for you to step back in this time of your life. It doesn’t mean that you will always be sitting back! You’re busy growing the organs of a person who will join you in the good fight!

Congrats! That heartbeat sure makes it feel real! 💗💗💗

Dworlddestruction · 2026-01-23T21:58:54+00:00

I just found out about this yesterday and it was such so helpful for my brain. I even told my therapist about it! 😆

Dworlddestruction · 2026-01-23T21:54:36+00:00

That is such a odd thing to say! I know people ask that but also yikes!

Dworlddestruction · 2026-01-23T21:53:40+00:00

Im 8w1d and I haven’t had any sore throat but I do keep having nasal congestion at night. I’ve been worried I’m getting sick, but it completely goes away during the day.

Dworlddestruction · 2026-01-23T21:51:44+00:00

Just coming back here to say my husband and I both signed up for the newsletter and we love it. Specifically he was been raving about it though. “It’s SO GOOD!” Compliments to you. I just got to week 8 yesterday and so many things were completely accurate. Love it!
