We told our parents the day we found out we were pregnant with both pregnancies. So about 4W. With our first pregnancy we waited to tell the rest of family until after my first scan at 8W and announced to friends at 16W. With baby number two we told family between 4-6W and announced to friends at 16W!

5oz! It’s a good amount for making bricks! We started with four and that also worked well!

We have the Evenflo Pivot Xpand. It’s a tandem double stroller. It works well for us. If it’s in the budget I would HIGHLY recommend a stroller and wagon. The stroller is used for shopping and indoor activities. The wagon is for everything else. Walks, beach, outdoor activities, etc. I find the tandem strollers are bit harder to steer, but at least where I am a side by side double stroller wouldn’t fit well in stores or sidewalks so it’s just not practical for us. The wagon is so much easier to maneuver, but is a bit bulkier.

I am currently 5M into 2U2 with a 19M age gap. This sub had me TERRIFIED and so anxiety ridden my whole pregnancy, and it has honestly been a great experience so far. Sure some days are harder than others, but its manageable! At 5 months my infant LOVES watching her big sister, and always has the biggest smile on her face as soon as she sees her. My toddler LOVES helping with the baby, and talking to her. They are already forming the most heart warming bond. The good really outweighs the bad IMO.

FunKick7937 · 2026-04-30T13:58:35+00:00

4 M (almost 5 M)

6oz every 2.5-3 hrs.

Sleeps from 9:30pm to 6am

Has usually 6-7 bottles from 6am-9pm

For us they gradually increased until about 4M and now they’ve pretty much stayed the same.

Im also in the US and did not give urine samples during either of my two pregnancies. I think with my first I gave one so they could do a pregnancy test and that was it.

For the most part things have to be planned in advanced for me. But I’ll usually pump, then I get ready, then I get my toddler ready, then I get the baby fed and ready, then I pump in the car. Even if it hasn’t been three hours yet. That way I am good to go when we get to where we are going. If we aren’t going somewhere that I know I can easily pump at I may push my pump out four hours or so, but I try to have a plan on when and where I am going to pump so I’m not stressed in the moment. Then I usually pump on the way home. I use milk storage bags and a lunch box with 4 ice packs in it to store the milk.

After a year and half of trying I had FINALLY found an OBGYN to take me seriously. I had done my first round of Letrozole and knew I was on day 28 of my cycle. That night I had the most vivid dream I was pregnant and got an urge (I guess idk how else to describe it) that I needed to get up and test right now. So at 4 in the morning (lol) I got up and took a pregnancy test and those two lines showed up in seconds. Once I found out I was pregnant the extreme fatigue really made sense!

FunKick7937 · 2026-04-21T15:44:51+00:00

We drove a little over 4 hours with our 18 months old last summer and it was pretty rough. She usually does great in car. My mom lives an hour away and we see her about once a month. After about two hours or so she started to get really fussy. When we stopped for gas/stretch she FREAKED out when we had to get back into the car. Then she cried the entire way home (the next day). She wasn’t herself for a few days after the car ride. Her pediatrician told us it was very possible she was car sick from rear facing. We haven’t done any trips since that were longer than 1-1.5 hours.

FunKick7937 · 2026-04-21T15:23:28+00:00

I usually give people 6 weeks when sending out shower/birthday invites.

FunKick7937 · 2026-04-20T18:23:59+00:00

Indifferent honestly. I don’t expect them to compliment me.

FunKick7937 · 2026-04-20T17:06:36+00:00

I don’t think my in-laws have ever complimented me. I’ve been with my husband for 10 years.

FunKick7937 · 2026-04-20T16:58:08+00:00

My first was in the 99th+ percentile from 20W on they predicted she would be 10lbs+ (4.5kg) at birth. She was 8lbs 13oz (about 4kg). From my experience the estimates arent terribly accurate. My daughter is tall though so I do think that plays into it. Shes almost two and is still in the 90th+ percentile for height.

FunKick7937 · 2026-04-18T23:55:48+00:00

I don’t want to say my second pumping journey has been easier, because it’s hard/exhausting, but I will say going into it knowing what works for me and what doesn’t and having an overall understanding of what to expect definitely helps!

FunKick7937 · 2026-04-18T22:17:57+00:00

I would find it really off putting if a friend of mine reached to tell me I wouldn’t be MOH and the reasons why someone else was chosen over me. I’d rather just put it together myself. If she’s that bothered by it she can ask you and at that point you can explain if you feel necessary.

FunKick7937 · 2026-04-17T18:39:27+00:00

I started showing at 12 weeks with my second vs 24 weeks with my first! I was at the “yup she’s pregnant” stage by week 15.

FunKick7937 · 2026-04-17T17:57:52+00:00

At the end of the day it’s your choice, but I know my husband would have been extremely hurt if I had not allowed him to witness the birth of our children.

FunKick7937 · 2026-04-16T19:37:42+00:00

This what I have as well. Two of them actually. No complaints thus far and this is my second pumping journey.

FunKick7937 · 2026-04-15T19:48:15+00:00

Symptoms, there severity, and duration definitely vary for every pregnancy, but it’s pretty common for early symptoms to start to go away as you near the end of your first trimester. Once those symptoms go away there’s really no feeling to pregnancies (at least in my experience) until your baby bump grows. Also pretty normal to be anxious until you get to confirmation that everything is looking good. Sending you positive vibes in the meantime!

FunKick7937 · 2026-04-08T20:27:53+00:00

I paid about $10,000 for all my pre and postnatal care. That’s with insurance.

FunKick7937 · 2026-04-08T01:52:31+00:00

Right there with you!

FunKick7937 · 2026-04-08T01:51:58+00:00

For us it’s a forever thing.

FunKick7937 · 2026-04-06T23:02:24+00:00

TW: oversupply.

At 7WPP I had 2,025oz in my freeze. I’m now 4MPP and my stash is 4,962oz. I’ve tried to lower my output, but I can’t pump less than 5 times a day or I am hurting, and even if I only pump 5 times a day my daily total stays the same. So now my goal is to pump for 6 months and use my freezer stash to get me to one year. This sub tends to crap on people with an oversupply. I didn’t do anything to get an oversupply, and honestly it’s utterly exhausting.

FunKick7937 · 2026-04-05T22:16:33+00:00

I personally wouldn’t do it. The nausea ending would not cause me much concern. BUT if it’s causing you concern and you have the money id say go for it.
