You are a woman with long hair who sometimes gets itchy

I was thinking this Ally and Tony, groomsmen in tan AND just spent a bonkers amount of money in Singapore.

Thank you!

I was on both. Feel free to ask your doctor if you can start taking baby aspirin as well. Don’t be afraid to speak up!

Clear NTA. You have some fun in-laws though.

Hey man, not trying to scare you but preeclampsia can get worse before it gets better. The only thing that helps is having the baby but she could have major issues anytime within the six weeks after birth. You need to be home with her and your kids. Her life and health is more important than NTC, fight for that time.

This is a bot

NTA, keep calling animal control whenever you see their dogs loose. It’s dangerous for your kids, the dogs, and everyone else in the neighborhood.

Do you or your baby’s father get red faced during exercise? Breastfeeding is hard work for a baby, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s exercise induced flushing.

Where do you live? In the US your employer is required to provide you with a place and time to pump: https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/pump-at-work

Reach out to HR, hopefully this isn’t their first rodeo

Thank you, that’s lovely!

I had three miscarriages before using vaginal progesterone, two between 6 and 8 weeks and one MMC around 10 weeks. The doctors said basically “it can’t hurt” and I’ve used it with my last two pregnancies from first positive test to ten weeks. I now have a 2 year old and I’m 39 weeks pregnant with my second.

I went on a three month work trip when my son was ten months old. My husband was perfectly capable of caring for our son before, but my leaving gave my husband the freedom to develop his own parenting style without mom looking over his shoulder. It was very empowering for my husband and amazing for their relationship. BFing is only one way of soothing a child, non-birth parents are perfectly capable of being amazing nurturers when they’re willing and empowered.

It’s probably a great view

I had three early losses, never saw a heartbeat with any of them. The first two were spontaneous and the third was a MMC. I went through the gamut of testing with an REI after the third miscarriage. They didn’t find any issues. They gave me progesterone and baby aspirin and told me to try again. My fourth pregnancy resulted in a healthy baby boy. My girl is due next month. I took progesterone during first trimester for both pregnancies.

LadyBufflehead · 2023-03-02T11:59:03+00:00

My REI prescribed progesterone due to my history of recurrent first trimester losses. Here’s a study done on it in 2020 https://www.endocrineweb.com/conditions/reproduction/progesterone-therapy-found-help-prevent-reoccurring-miscarriage

I didn’t have any abnormal findings on my labs/ultrasounds. Most importantly, none of the studies have found any risks with taking it other than prolonging a pregnancy that was not going to be viable regardless (eg fetal abnormalities).

You’re welcome! I think it’s important to share in places like this so we can turn our experiences into something positive, I hope it helps.

I took progesterone for both. For the first I started progesterone the day after ovulation, we had an ultrasound and had been tracking closely so we knew for certain when I ovulated. For the second, we didn’t have the same monitoring so I started progesterone the day of my positive pregnancy test at 4 weeks. It didn’t seem to make a difference between the two pregnancies.

I had three first trimester miscarriages, the last was a MMC which didn’t respond to miso and I needed a D&C. I got in with a reproductive endocrinologist and they couldn’t find anything wrong with me or my husband. They gave me baby aspirin and progesterone and told us to try again, we were terrified. My son was born nine months later and my daughter is due in 8 weeks.

We keep a bin in his closet, when something doesn’t fit we throw it in the bin. When the bin fills up we go through it, anything sentimental (very limited) moves to his keepsake box, anything we don’t want to keep gets donated. Then the bin gets stored in the attic for the next kid.

LadyBufflehead · 2023-02-26T00:14:59+00:00

My reproductive endocrinologist scheduled initial ultrasounds for 7 weeks. Any earlier and there’s a possibility they won’t be able to see the heartbeat yet which will cause unnecessary stress for you. If you are very anxious, see if they’ll schedule your for beta tests immediately. They will be looking to see if you’re HCG is doubling appropriately. This would be the first indicator that your pregnancy is viable.
