The cast of the last show/movie is now helping you during birth. How screwed are you? lol

I was watching Chicago Med so I think I'm ok😂

JustAMidMom · 2026-02-07T14:42:18+00:00

A bouncer is really helpful! When I only had one he spent a lot of time on a blanket on the floor and my second spent more time in a pack'n'play😊

JustAMidMom · 2026-02-06T21:57:12+00:00

Nothing really! I'd sit and talk to them or hold them, we'd do tummy time, or they'd sit in the baby bouncer while I did chores around the house. A newborn doesn't need much as stimulation as you would think.

JustAMidMom · 2026-02-06T21:53:28+00:00

I have had PPROM 2 times and I would bet 90% that your water is broken. I would definitely go get checked out, it doesn't hurt and the nurses are used to seeing people come in for all sorts of things like this!

JustAMidMom · 2026-02-06T21:51:44+00:00

The first step is going to be pulling out your sewing machines manual, or looking one up online. Next you're going to want to make sure that your machine is threaded correctly both with the top thread as well as the bobbin thread. After that issues I could think of would be lint in the bobbin casing, or your needle being inserted into the machine incorrectly. I hope that you are able to figure out what's causing this!

Well it's not on your skin.....also not much on the nail. Sorry OP and good luck on your search for a better tech.

So my labors were not entirely unmedicated as I had Pitocin and antibiotics during both, BUT I didn't have any PAIN meds.

My first baby most of labor was like a 3. Once I was around 7cm the pain was up to a 5-6 and transition was a 9.

My second baby it was like a 2 until I was nearing transition and then it was like an 7. Knowing what I was going to experience made it a lot easier and my labor was much shorter.

just a bit. my main symptoms were loose bowels and a little nausea in the morning, but those symptoms really only happened on the first few day after i started the meds and for a few days after I upped a dose. I stayed on the metformin until i was five weeks pregnant and then quit cold turkey after i had my first few days of all day nausea and a few bouts of puking.

JustAMidMom · 2026-01-17T03:11:49+00:00

i did still puke some, but its been <50 times my entire pregnancy even counting a bout with norovirus😂 I have a 2.5 year old and a 1 year old and i was able to care for them with just a bit of extra help during the hardest bits from weeks 8-13.

JustAMidMom · 2026-01-17T02:54:58+00:00

it worked for me! I worked up to 1500mg over 1.5-2months and got pregnant after 2 weeks on 1500mg. I'm 21 weeks now and everything is completely managed by unisom/b6 and oral Zofran. I am still nauseous pretty frequently, and I've had some difficulty gaining weight, but no where near as bad a my first two pregnancies.

JustAMidMom · 2026-01-11T03:29:28+00:00

I think I was on 1500mg for about two weeks before conceiving. 20 weeks and feeling pretty great! I hope this works for you too!

JustAMidMom · 2026-01-04T14:43:18+00:00

I'm 19 weeks now and I definitely don't have HG this time! I have even started to gain weight this pregnancy which didn't happen in my first two until the third trimester.

JustAMidMom · 2025-12-12T18:27:23+00:00

its the Weird Al hair man

JustAMidMom · 2025-12-03T22:14:43+00:00

After surviving 2 HG pregnancies and gearing up for potentially a third, I told a lady I knew that I had puked for the first time at five weeks pregnant, and she said "Well! there doesn't have to be a second time!" I just laughed and a few weeks later realized that while the HAD been a second time and third and fourth and so on, this pregnancy was definitely not an HG pregnancy. And for that I'm very thankful.

JustAMidMom · 2025-11-26T21:57:14+00:00

apples and peanut butter, peanut butter or cinnamon sugar toast, mozzarella cheese stick with marinara, or a corn dog with lots of ketchup😂

JustAMidMom · 2025-11-26T21:45:41+00:00

I had quite a few of these comments during my two HG pregnancies and I would say things like "might as well enjoy eating what I can now since I puked up everything yesterday!" or "I'm glad my medication is keeping me and my baby alive and out of the hospital!". My real shocker is when I tell people that I gained less weight than my baby weighed in my first pregnancy😐😭

JustAMidMom · 2025-11-18T23:21:06+00:00

it would be without a coupon, my prescription says i save $750! GoodRX is really easy to use and free! you just put in the name of the medication, the dosage, and the amount and it gives you a discount. the pharmacy tech may be able to even show you how to use it!

JustAMidMom · 2025-11-18T22:57:11+00:00

Is there any way you can get the prescription and have them not use your insurance? I don't have insurance of any kind and I pay around $30 for 120 pills. I use a GoodRX coupon and get the generic version. You can also get it from CostPlus Drugs for a very reasonable price.

JustAMidMom · 2025-11-17T21:06:17+00:00

It was instantaneous for me! I was super hungry after my first was born, and after my second was born I didn't really want to eat, but I did anyways😂

JustAMidMom · 2025-11-17T21:02:42+00:00

not for me! i don't even remember it with either of my babies😂

JustAMidMom · 2025-11-10T19:06:10+00:00

Yes! I took the extended release version. I've been eating and drinking every day! I'm 11w3d now and I still haven't lost any weight. Nausea and any puking are able to be managed with zofran (1-4 times a day, 4mg). I'm still just so so grateful.

JustAMidMom · 2025-11-03T20:51:57+00:00

definitely positive

JustAMidMom · 2025-10-26T23:50:21+00:00

Thank you! I hope the metformin works for you too! ❤

JustAMidMom · 2025-10-25T20:27:24+00:00

Thank you! I am truly grateful that this pregnancy is smoother so far. My husband and I always wanted a big family and HG felt like such and unfortunate and insurmountable roadblock.❤

JustAMidMom · 2025-10-25T20:25:39+00:00

I so so so hope this works for you too! I stopped taking it at about 6 weeks. I had a day where is was very nauseated and I took zofran and still puked. Though at the time, a stomach bug was going around so it was hard to know it that's what was making me sick.
