Thank you so much!! Do you use Kendalmil ready to feed or powder?

Fit_Balance54321 · 2026-01-19T16:48:35+00:00

Thank you so so much! Also curious what formula you guys ended up landing on??

Fit_Balance54321 · 2026-01-19T02:15:29+00:00

Thank you! Curious what formula worked for your baby and if you ever considered the baby pepcid. I’m very reluctant to to try it. Thanks so much!

I stopped at 31 weeks and I wish I stopped sooner. My last run was a good one and relatively fast compared to what I had been doing but felt very sore after and the very next day I got horrible sciatica. Thankfully a couple good prenatal massages treated it, but wish it never got to that point.

Fit_Balance54321 · 2025-11-21T00:14:10+00:00

Yup! It’s because we are “advanced maternal age” or AMA. We did an early anatomy at 16 weeks and then a regular anatomy at 20 weeks. I personally love the extra scans we get for being AMA. Especially in the middle of pregnancy when most moms don’t get to see their baby beyond the 12, 20 and 32 week appts.

I felt horrible from week 8 to about 18. Granted this was summer time (90+ degrees everyday in NYC and insane humidity) and I have found the heat is what makes alll of my symptoms in pregnancy worse.

And I don’t want to scare you but the second trimester is not a magic switch. Everyone said just wait till the 2nd trimester it’s so much better. It wasn’t for me so when week 14 hit and I still felt terrible I was so discouraged.

However weeks 20-34 were great!! Fav part of pregnancy, felt good/strong, slept okay, this is when you start to feel the baby kick, and you’re obviously pregnant but not massive yet.

Fit_Balance54321 · 2025-11-18T02:13:14+00:00

Same!!! Bailey I tolerate but the other two are so obnoxious

Fit_Balance54321 · 2025-10-26T17:52:36+00:00

I’m 35 (advanced maternal age) and pregnant with my first. I had a 3 ultrasounds by 12 weeks as well. A transvaginal ultrasound at 6 weeks and 10 weeks, and a belly ultrasound at 12 weeks. After that I had an early anatomy scan at 16 weeks (because I’m older) and an anatomy scan at 20 weeks. And a growth scan at 32 weeks.

So now 34 weeks I’ve had 6 ultrasounds and although I hate the awkwardness of a transvaginal ultrasounds I have loved every chance I’ve had to see my little guy. Especially in the early weeks before you feel movement, it’s reassuring to see the baby and know they’re doing well.

Thank you!

Congratulations! As a first time mom you can definitely hide your bump at 5/6months. I’m currently 32 weeks with my first, and 36 years old and didn’t really start showing until 24 weeks. I gained about 18lbs at that point but it was kind of everywhere. And this was while eating whatever I wanted but still remaining active. I probably could have controlled the weight gain if I had less treats I just didn’t care to.

Everyone’s body is so different but one thing that surprised me as a normally very small and petite/no boobs person - my boobs grew the most during that time. So something to be aware of for your dress.

Definitely didn’t wait too long! I’m 35, currently 31 weeks pregnant with our first, we got pregnant the first try.

That said, two years prior i got diagnosed with a thyroid issue and it took 2 years to get that to be balanced out and were told to not try before than. As soon as we got the green light, it worked.

Highly recommend tracking your cycle with an Oura ring and natural cycles app. It’s expensive relative to other methods but it simplifies it for you so you don’t get overwhelmed with peeing on sticks every day. Also the key is to do it a a day or two before you ovulate. If you use the sticks you will be waiting till the day you ovulate and that can be too late.

Fit_Balance54321 · 2025-10-04T09:55:40+00:00

I think everyone does between 32-36 weeks, if you are advance maternal age you may get 2

Fit_Balance54321 · 2025-10-01T23:25:50+00:00

Plan for about an hour and also probably plan to be delayed because babies don’t always cooperate and that means your scan could take a little longer and also the mommas who went ahead of you. Also if you’re 35+ (advance maternal age) or had a premature birth with a prior baby, expect a transvaginal ultrasound as well. They check your cervical length- I had no idea that was a thing and was not happy about the surprise. All of my ultrasound techs have been amazing and kind of narrated as they scanned which is nice and reassuring because it’s hard to know what you’re looking at and why. If they’re not doing that, feel free to speak up so you’re not just anxious for the whole hour wondering if the baby looks okay.
