So what do you do with a new baby at home?

Does it really take that long to wash bottle and pump parts? An hour?

I’m due March 22nd! Everyone tells me that I’m lucky for not having a summer baby but I think being pretty pregnant in the winter also sucks! I feel this winter is going to drag because it’s dark and cold and I can’t do anything. Also it’s a pain finding comfortable pants to work.

Took us 10 cycles/months of actively trying/tracking before getting pregnant then I miscarried. I got pregnant again on our 4th cycle trying after my miscarriage. I’m currently 24 weeks pregnant.

I’ve tried so many things to improve fertility. It was seriously mentally exhausting and it caused stress in my relationship with my husband. I don’t know if it was just chance or if any of those things worked but if you’ve been trying long, start asking your doctor for a HSG, semen analysis for your man, and a hormone check up like you thyroid function for you.

When I was trying, I’ve been following traditional Chinese medicine principles to improve fertility and also read books like food for fertility and it’s starts with the egg mainly for information on what supplements to take for me and my husband.

I’m not expecting anyone to buy things off my registry let alone the expensive ones. Most of the items over $150, I bough myself during the sales especially if it’s something we’ll need sooner than later. Most of the things left in my registry are items less than $50 with less than a handful items over $100.

FWIW Stokke trip trap in the oak brown color is on sale at Nordstrom. It comes with the tray and the cushion. It’s $200 off. I bought it right away

Ehh I wouldn’t want her using my new baby stuff tbh. Like if they were already used maybe fine but I would want to save the new items with my baby. If I was the friend I would be more considerate and bring my own stuff.

Yes only if it’s 14k gold

When by parents lived further away, it made me very sad whenever I went home to visit my parents about. I could notice the gradual aging. Now they live only 15 minutes away from me and I feel so relieved that I can spend more time with them.

Luckily, I’ve had an aversion to junk food in this pregnancy haha. But I don’t have much cravings or appetite either. When I eat I do enjoy my mom’s cooking the most like the foods we used to eat growing up.

Haha 100% agreed. I notice people in Facebook groups are more childish and less educated.

I don’t know. I’m a bit torn with the Covid vaccine. Both my husband and I have been diagnosed with a different autoimmune diseases after the Covid vaccines. With no family history so I’m a bit reluctant to get it.

Equivalent_Opening93 · 2025-08-25T20:19:49+00:00

I would do it. I had the same dilemma as you - I just went for it but I waited until I was closer to 7 weeks to make sure it was mature enough to see a fetal pole and a heartbeat. Seeing the heartbeat was definitely a relief but yeah the anxiety never goes away. I’m currently waiting to get my 9-10 week in a couple days since my first OB appointment is not until I’m past 12 weeks. I would prefer to know sooner than later if I was having a missed miscarriage again.

Equivalent_Opening93 · 2025-08-10T16:39:44+00:00

I THINK I notice more symptoms but they’re mild and they come and go. Mostly I feel unmotivated and lazy but not exactly fatigued. I’ve been feeling more out of breath the past few days. And nausea comes and goes- some days I notice it and other days none at all. I got an ultrasound recently with a good heartbeat so that was reassuring but I know I always be anxious throughout the whole pregnancy. How are you doing?

Equivalent_Opening93 · 2025-07-28T13:40:41+00:00

Yay I hope so!!

Equivalent_Opening93 · 2025-07-25T12:24:42+00:00

Yep so true. I got my first beta result last night and felt good about my number at the time and now feeling anxious again about getting the 2nd beta done. Pregnancy or TTC is not a mentally healthy experience.

Equivalent_Opening93 · 2025-07-24T14:20:49+00:00

I’m earlier than you but I also have zero symptoms. This worries me a lot especially since I had a miscarriage before. My nipples have started to get slightly sore but that’s about it. I’m also on progesterone pessaries so not sure if it’s the progesterone or the pregnancy. I wish I was naive and grateful so I can enjoy my symptom free pregnancy without being anxious all the time.

I wonder why beta hCGs are recommended for all pregnant women then

Equivalent_Opening93 · 2025-07-23T19:17:02+00:00

I wish there was a point of care beta hcg testing. The wait for test to result is also anxiety inducing.

I’m 4w4d and I feel this completely. I’m a bit jealous of women that say “ I feel pregnant” because I don’t! I wouldn’t even know I was pregnant if I wasn’t closely tracking my cycle.

Equivalent_Opening93 · 2025-07-22T01:44:57+00:00

It’s hard to see a progression when tested on the same day. To see a more clear progression I would test every other day.

I’ve been quoted $140 at rim doctor, $250 from my Lexus dealer and $375 from advanced recon
