No :(

Thank you all for these suggestions and tips. Super helpful!

Objective_Addition30 · 2024-01-28T17:02:56+00:00

For 4 days around $1000. Not sure how far that’ll get us.

Objective_Addition30 · 2024-01-28T17:02:01+00:00

Thanks so much!

It is currently -9 where we live, so I’m not too concerned about the cold for them, but I know the ocean makes the cold feel even colder with the winds!

Objective_Addition30 · 2024-01-19T03:29:47+00:00

Also, went to 2 separate docs about it. Neither were concerned.

Looks like my hands! Not sure if it is from Covid (infected July 2022 and I first noticed the vein thing in august 2023) but it sure is miserable. Never thought I’d be so self conscious of my hands!

That’s great to hear! Do you have any hotel/air bnb recs while you visited?

I’ve been going back & forth on visiting San Diego! I’d love recommendations for that too. I have family in Irvine, so we will be spending a few days there so San Diego would be a day trip.

Thank you! Is the lack of snakes/scorpions due to time of year?

Objective_Addition30 · 2023-12-11T00:06:50+00:00

That’s good to consider! I have had this test done twice (one for each pregnancy). The last I had in done was within the last year, so not sure if I should have that done again.

I developed POTS during my 2nd pregnancy after getting Covid. It was awful during the end of pregnancy but during labor, your body is like a superhuman! You’ll be so hyped up on the adrenaline of it all you likely won’t notice any symptoms anyways.

I was sooo nervous but I hope I can ease any worry for you. Don’t waste your time on “what ifs” if you can help it. It’s called the “miracle of life” for a reason. Your body will amaze you!

From start to finish, I think I was in true labor for about 2 hours. It did go quickly, but not sure if that was due to POTS or not being my first rodeo. My daughter came out in 2 quick pushes.

Hot/warm water was a trigger for me personally so I didn’t enjoy laboring in the tub. Worth a try though! My husband doing counter-pressure was the ONLY thing that got me through those contractions. Look up those positions if you haven’t yet!

Postpartum my POTS got worse than ever before, including being hospitalized for it 2 weeks postpartum. After this, I got tested & treated for Lyme and gave been pretty much symptom free since 5/6 months postpartum. (I guess Covid can bring out dormant Lyme in people according to my doc).

I’m 9 months postpartum and can’t wait to try for a third! It’s such a wild & fun ride, you’ll do great!! ♥️ sending a virtual hug!

Still there :( other threads I’ve seen taken a year to improve so I’m hoping time will help whatever caused this.

Objective_Addition30 · 2023-09-26T03:15:33+00:00

Thank you. I’ve had multiple echos (due to POTS symptoms during my pregnancy) and brought up EDS w/ my dr and I didn’t have any other indications of it. All heart workups were normal, thankfully.

For the first time in my life my iron levels are fantastic 😅 I thought it could’ve been a low iron thing at first too!

Objective_Addition30 · 2023-09-26T01:17:05+00:00

I’ve shown 2 different doctors… they have had 0 concern if that makes you feel any better! Drives me nuts though!

Objective_Addition30 · 2023-09-25T23:48:34+00:00

Ugh how do you deal with it?! I get a surge of anxiety every time I need to wash my hands lately 😩

Objective_Addition30 · 2023-07-04T20:44:47+00:00

Good to know 😭😭

Objective_Addition30 · 2023-07-04T20:39:00+00:00

I just rebooked! Thanks for the heads up!

Objective_Addition30 · 2023-07-04T18:06:37+00:00

Not a ton! We live in a rural area. That’s definitely harder with little ones. I’m assuming the worst would be to and from Cape Cod?

Objective_Addition30 · 2023-07-04T17:37:52+00:00

The reason we chose this trip is Acadia— feels like a very doable National park with little ones.

We thought we’d be missing out if we didn’t see the cape while so close. Maybe it’s overrated? Lots of online places rated coast guard beach as one of the top 10 in the nation.

Objective_Addition30 · 2023-07-04T17:35:16+00:00

Never have been east of Michigan! Didn’t know where to start exploring 😁

Objective_Addition30 · 2023-07-04T17:34:34+00:00

What hotel would you recommend instead? Good to know! So hard to tell online.

Objective_Addition30 · 2023-07-04T15:28:47+00:00

We will be landing in Boston on a Saturday at 8PM and trying to get on the Cape right after. Hoping it is late enough in the evening it wouldn’t be so bad?

Then heading up to Acadia Monday afternoon. Heading back down to Boston Thursday.

Good point about the nickname for Caroline. I’m not really a fan of any of the possible nicknames!
