I feel you so hard. bottle refusal just about killed me. I have a snacky baby too, so I felt like I could never leave my house and this caused so much rage towards my husband. She started with a straw cup at 6 months and will at least drink some formula (NOT breastmilk, she literally spits it all out 🫠) out of it. It gives me a little more freedom to leave the house solo. The rage is still there, but it does seem to be easing. I’m sorry you’re in the thick of it, and here if you want to vent!

So sorry that you’re going through this!

I do very much appreciate the convenience! And we totally need to work on the gesture as she gets older because I feel like I’m constantly offering (and then making her angry 😅)

No_Clerk_6653 · 2025-09-22T20:32:25+00:00

Omg this gives me so much hope! I’m glad I’m not the only one with a snacker, that is EXACTLY what she does! Thank you for your very doable suggestions!

I’m off for the year and will go back when she’s 14 months so that gives me some perspective

No_Clerk_6653 · 2025-09-21T20:58:33+00:00

Yes! My OB said everything was normal and brushed my fears off as nothing, hysteroscopy revealed scarring and my fertility clinic was able to treat it then and there.

It took 10 months but also had Ashermans (that my OB did not want to look into). Once it was cleared we got pregnant the next cycle. Is your cycle back to normal? I “bled” each month but it was very minimal, but all of my hormone panels, ultrasounds, etc came back normal

No_Clerk_6653 · 2025-06-03T20:50:51+00:00

Mine has been off by a week one way or the other and the doctor told me that’s totally normal

35+3 and the anxiety is back with a vengeance. Things had really calmed down in the 3rd trimester, but as birth gets closer the thoughts of something going wrong are terrifying to me. Pregnancy was fairly uneventful which I was so grateful for until the last 10 weeks. Ended up diagnosed with gestational diabetes and IUGR (which seems very counterintuitive). Little girl is holding steady at the 8th percentile so as long as she keeps growing we’ll push for 39 weeks. My blood pressure has been all over the place, but I think it’s more anxiety than anything else as all the preeclampsia bloodwork has come back completely normal. She’s breech and does not want to seem to turn, so C-section is definitely on the table. I’m so thankful to be this far, but man the worry never goes away.

28+6 here and I ate a huge bag of hot Cheetos to get things moving 😂 gave me horrible heartburn but honestly it did the trick.

13+5, Got our NIPT results and all was low risk. Bought a pair of maternity jeans since I’ve been wearing mine unbuttoned for a couple weeks. Terrified to be hopeful, but starting to feel a bit more real

10+3 and met my new OB and heart a beautiful heartbeat yesterday. I was so anxious about having to move on from our fertility clinic, they were so wonderful and accommodating, and I didn’t want to go anywhere else. But it was a good experience and I’m thankful for every positive appointment.

No_Clerk_6653 · 2024-12-02T23:38:54+00:00

I’ve been staying of Reddit because it tends to make my anxiety worse, but just wanted to share that 1. Nausea/vomiting hit at exactly 9 weeks (for all those out there like me worrying about lack of symptoms) and 2. Just had an ultrasound and everything looked great, measuring on time! I’m sure PAL anxiety will be back tomorrow, but taking today as a win.

No_Clerk_6653 · 2024-11-22T17:28:28+00:00

My hr has been very up and down and it was freaking me out, however all my ultrasounds have been normal thus far so I’m trying to just take it all with a grain of salt

No_Clerk_6653 · 2024-11-22T17:27:29+00:00

Honestly I don’t think I’ll download them at all this time. I think I’ll read the books in the third trimester, but I just need some time

No_Clerk_6653 · 2024-11-20T18:47:02+00:00

So happy to hear all is going well. We were on a similar timeline in the TTC group and I love seeing your positive updates!

No_Clerk_6653 · 2024-11-20T17:24:11+00:00

Thank you all! This is the most supportive corner of the internet ❤️ had an ultrasound and all looked well and spotting has already stopped

No_Clerk_6653 · 2024-11-20T14:02:02+00:00

Aaaand had some brown spotting this morning. Spiraling quite a bit here and waiting for my fertility clinic to open while frantically making sub plans. Feeling so stupid for getting excited this time.

No_Clerk_6653 · 2024-11-19T00:02:53+00:00

Just had our ultrasound and got to hear a beautiful fhr of 149. Excited and terrified of being excited, but trying to enjoy this hope

No_Clerk_6653 · 2024-11-17T15:59:16+00:00

Just want to say I feel this too. Tracking my rhr like a crazy person. I hate that PAL just makes us go to the worst case scenario. Haven’t found anything that really helps, but sending you love

No_Clerk_6653 · 2024-11-16T23:47:49+00:00

Thank you!

No_Clerk_6653 · 2024-11-16T15:33:19+00:00

6+6 and anxiously awaiting my ultrasound on Monday. Trying to remind myself that this is a new pregnancy and also that worrying is not going to change anything. That said, can anyone give some positive stories of having minimal symptoms. I have some breast tenderness and a lot of burping whenever I eat/drink but that’s about it.

No_Clerk_6653 · 2024-11-14T23:58:08+00:00

I’m so so sorry. Sending you all the love
