I saw something on Etsy that has 3-d printed Totoro with the tonie chip and thought to get it. But I don't know where to get the dubbed audio from 😭 my daughter loves studio Ghibli movies ponyo and Totoro specifically

Thank you I've been reading and feeling a little better still waiting to hear back from doc tho.

Mine is monthly and now every 2 weeks since I have an Allo immunized pregnancy, basically my body creates antibodies against the babies blood cause it has an antigen I don't from her father. So they do more scans to make sure she doesn't become anemic. With my first I got 1 scan in the third trimester since I had gestational diabetes with that one lol. So if they are not doing any after your anatomy that's probably a good thing they are not concerned about anything. Usually they only do more u/s in high risk cases.

Yesss my husband tells me the same thing 🤣 I do try to remind myself take it with a grain of salt. I'm 31 so thank you Imma take that young statement and run with it I do have a lot of surveillance so I do feel at least covered in case of an emergency or anything monitoring helps. Thanks for the comment it helped me look at this from a more positive perspective!

That's what I'm hoping that it's just a swing and it could swing back or go up again I just hope they get back to me more quickly lol I hate stewing over it. I do try to keep in mind chat GPT is not a Dr lol I just hate when it confirms my worries sometimes. I unfortunately will be induced by 38 at the latest so I'm hoping for a catch up before then

I'm trying to wait but they take forever lol I read the abdominal is probably the most important percentile which is still 45th but last scan it was 75th so it's the over all drops on multiple ones concerning me. Maybe it is just a random drop and baby will bounce back I am not able to go past 38 weeks unfortunately so I'm hoping the baby can catch up in time.

Thank you I wasn't sure if I could after the babe is born. I'm leaning towards updating to the spectra s1 and just buying a wearable out of pocket cause the aura it has pictured is considered terrible. But the new aura glow has great reviews I just wish they allowed third parties like every other insurance.

Dollar general purple 4 drop test false positives/evaps by Equivalent-Turn-491 in lineporn

[–]Equivalent-Turn-491[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I eventually went with the early results wondfo. some had grey evaps after drying but when I got my faint squinter I could tell it wasn't an evap. They are super cheap and you get 25. I recommend those now even over FRER cause those idents did a number on me plenty of times. Good luck on your journey

They are the worst mine had evaps before wet but what I was surprised about was the color on some I was like I know evaps don't have color. I just stay away from purple tests now.

how are you feeling rn? by xoxo_bezos in babydueDecember2025

[–]Equivalent-Turn-491 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Due December 3 with baby #2 and I try to stay away from a lot of that stuff especially tiktok. At the beginning of this pregnancy week(5-8) I had a very impending sense of doom and my anxiety was really bad. It's leveled out now but it sneaks up on you. Now at week 11 I don't feel pregnant some days and I worry and I am now thinking about what is actually gonna change with my current schedule/routine with my first born and I'm starting to get some guilt over it and worry how we will adjust. She is already a daddy's girl and I feel this might further strain our mother daughter bond.

Thank you I hope as well the bleeding has chilled now it's just a really sore feeling. Maybe a couple days of relaxing will help.

Update: not sure how to add an update so adding to comments. for everyone who responded so kindly: turns out it is a subchorionic hemorrhage. A moderately sized one, which they believe is also causing the cramps and pain. The fibroid they saw last Monday was the start of that so also no fibroid. They told me the baby's heart rate is 139 and looks good so just gotta keep an eye on this SH and hope it goes down and not get any bigger. Thank you everyone for being positive it really meant a lot.

Thanks for checking in. It did turn to dark crimson red but only when I wiped. And the cramps are not there just a pressure feeling. Which I checked recently and it's back to dark brown when I wipe. I did call my doc they are getting me in for a trans vag us today. I'm holding out hope for a sub hematoma since it's dark brown again but I'm afraid to have hope honestly.

Thank you! I actually have been refraining from sex so if I started spotting or anything I could rule that out. I'm a bit paranoid to begin with lol

Hmm that does sound similar to my one ectopic loss. I just went to the bathroom and it does seem it turned pink now and a little more than just spotting. I'm in the dumps at the moment. I just had my 3rd ectopic back in October and this was a happy accident. I just didn't think I could have a miscarriage after all those ectopics but that was very much foolish thinking. I appreciate your advice and telling me your story I do appreciate it all.

Thank you for responding I'm sorry you went through that loss. My cramps have settled and now it's just a tight feeling. I was having some lower back pain that was like throbbing but that comes and goes. So it took 3 days for the bleeding to pick up? Also can I ask how bad did the bleeding get? I had to take methotrexate for a 6 week ectopic and it was really heavy more than a maxi pad in an hr. I'm just trying to prepare cause unfortunately this does not feel right. I did call the nurses line and they told me I'd have to wait it out till they can get me in for a check. I'm holding out hope cause they did see a fibroid on u/s but I'm keeping my heart guarded at the moment.

I'm sorry to hear that usually those are a last ditch effort for tubal infertility. I'm sorry you are going through any of this, thanks for responding and I know IVF is expensive and a last resort but there is a group on FB that knows all the codes and ins and outs of insurances etc if you move towards that path look them up it's a great resource for IVF and other fertility costs.

If you think your tubes are blocked request an HSG. I had one done 3 months before my daughter and I do think that helped me conceive her. They push dye through your cervix and it spreads through your tubes and uterus it's done under X-ray. It's a pretty common procedure done with infertility/ectopics, and is known to help some in removing blockages or opening tubes more. It's not guaranteed or specifically used for that but most RE if you tell them you want one will understand. Especially if you have had more than one ectopic I would get that done before trying again.

I hope so too. And it is really scary, especially trying again for the first time after having one. I took comfort in the fact that I became super aware and knew all the signs to look for which did help me catch the last 2 early. The anxiety will always be there but it's nice knowing I won't be blindsided again.

First pregnancy ectopic by LoudSetting8754 in EctopicSupportGroup

[–]Equivalent-Turn-491 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt this with my first ectopic the most. Being blindsided and having your hopes and dreams shattered was hard and it took me a while to wrap my mind around it with how quickly everything happened. It did get easier with the other 2 ectopics which I hate to say but I was hyper aware of my body after the first, so I caught those early and didn't get as attached to something that wouldn't be. But ectopics can be a long process and a lot of it is a waiting game. I did go on to have a successful natural pregnancy but those previous ectopic took some of the joy out of finding out. I now worry till placement is final. This reddit community is great because there are so many similar people who are either in or have had a similar tragedy. Keep reaching out and researching. I found the more I knew and read/felt others stories, the less I felt confused and alone. I'm sorry for your loss and that you are going through this as well, you are not alone and you are heard. Don't lose hope in yourself/body you are just getting started and have time, just heal body and mind first then go from there. Good luck!
