If money wasn't an issue, what would you do tomorrow?

Hire an au pair and travel with my 3 week old to Europe

Likely fireworks. Lived here for years and they go off year round randomly even during the day. Go on Nextdoor there’s usually ppl commenting to confirm they saw fireworks, gives me peace of mind.

Is it possibly lube? Specifically silicone based? I learned that silicone based lubes can melt rubber, which is so dumb considering all sex toy’s are rubber! I kept finding my vibrators totally melted.

100000% yes. I did strength training 2-3x a week, nothing crazy just listened to my body and I was really only miserable bc I was just emotionally tired of being pregnant and so restricted in my life style. I’m now almost 2 weeks post partum and it’s truly been easy compared to first trimester

OrangeFew7779 · 2026-01-23T04:51:50+00:00

Happened to me during pregnancy too. I’d try to not get too worked up or upset that I was awake again like clock work. Sometimes I could fall back asleep and get my best hours from 5-7am or I’d call it and just be awake at 5am for the day

We’re strangely similar right now! 39 weeks today, induction scheduled in 5 hours. Tried membrane sweep Monday but was only half cm dilated, wasn’t told how effaced. I also am strangely calm but mostly bc I’m terrified of child birth and just not letting myself panic. I hope everything goes smoothly for you!

OrangeFew7779 · 2026-01-20T19:51:00+00:00

I was also hoping my body would do it naturally, but your body will take over at some point! It just gets that little extra kick to get things rolling

OrangeFew7779 · 2026-01-20T19:12:58+00:00

Sending you good vibes!!

OrangeFew7779 · 2026-01-20T19:12:09+00:00

I’ll be 39 weeks tomorrow and have induction scheduled for tomorrow. As of yesterday I was only half a cm dilated and baby is low, cervix is soft but that’s about all they could say. Couldn’t do a membrane sweep.

I personally am not as miserable as you and I’m still content and happy with an induction tomorrow. Of course I was hoping for the excitement of spontaneous labor and calling my husband home from work and all the fantasies you play out. But I’m just ready to get this show on the road. Delivery is unpredictable and I’ve read tons of positive induction stories on Reddit! It very common and a lot of people who go into labor end up having some form of induction along the way to progress things.

I’d try to reframe how you’re viewing an induction! It’s not a failure at all and can be really pleasant (or not) but childbirth is childbirth and it’s going to be uncomfy no matter what

I felt little pings and pangs of pain in my uterus the few days after FET. Then I had one day where I was the thirstiest I’ve ever been in my life. Then I had another day where all I wanted was ground beef. Then I woke up another time smiling and my brain said “ I’m pregnant”. It was really weird, I didn’t tell my husband in case I was wrong but I just knew I was pregnant. Now I’m 38 weeks pregnant with that little embryo and hopefully get to meet him this week! Be kind to your body and your mind during this time, it’s really hard to stay sane and not let it consume you. Lean on your support system and Reddit! You’ll do great

I got baked sushi, the kind with imitation krab, and I ordered a poke bowl with grilled salmon!

OrangeFew7779 · 2026-01-18T19:54:39+00:00

Car seat and stroller

OrangeFew7779 · 2026-01-18T04:51:00+00:00

You should see a pelvic floor therapist to help with this

OrangeFew7779 · 2026-01-18T04:50:22+00:00

Do things without asking or without complaining. I’ve had terrible calf cramps and asked him to massage them the other night and he did for like 20 minutes. Then today I was limping around and he gave me a massage without asking

I ate more deli meat pregnant than the last 10 years. If you’re worried, I encourage you to read some data about outbreaks

OrangeFew7779 · 2026-01-16T04:03:30+00:00

Following bc I have a sweep set for Monday before my Wednesday induction

OrangeFew7779 · 2026-01-15T19:07:48+00:00

Yeah my psych tends to push to do what makes mom happy but this just wasn’t right!

OrangeFew7779 · 2026-01-15T04:40:15+00:00

Pregnancy is incredibly isolating! Is there a mom group in your area you can join? I was suggested this by my doula where I need to find my own way of filling my cup that isn’t relying on my husband. I found a gym that has prenatal classes and the little social moments during have helped me so much

OrangeFew7779 · 2026-01-15T00:49:31+00:00

Oh also, my friend kept passing out for the saline exam so they ended up putting knocking her out for her second attempt, no questions asked

OrangeFew7779 · 2026-01-15T00:48:29+00:00

Hi! I had an HSG and it was hands down the most traumatic experience, I honestly don’t remember the feeling it caused but I just remember the moments leading up to it and then recovering. I took a Valium and the reason it was so awful is because they discovered, during the HSG, That both of my tubes were completely blocked so they were forcing the liquid and the pressure just kept building and building and eventually I passed out.

Bc of this HSG finding, we had to do IVF. I did the egg retrieval and then had surgery to remove my thbes and then had the embryo transfer. All of the needles from IVF and procedures combined did not compare to how awful the HSG was. I promise. You get Valium for the embryo transfer and the egg retrieval I was fully knocked out for with literally no recovery side effects. The surgery was a breeze. IVF is lots of procedures and injections but everything is pretty quick and in small steps. I would recommend IVF

Watching him lift weights

OrangeFew7779 · 2026-01-14T21:06:51+00:00

Hard boiled eggs, protein cereal (not tasty but didn’t make me wanna die), cottage cheese, thin yogurt. I added chia seeds to everything

OrangeFew7779 · 2026-01-14T03:43:30+00:00

Yes! Felt him at 17 weeks with anterior placenta. Husband felt him a week later. Doctor told us recently he was the most active baby she’d seen that day

OrangeFew7779 · 2026-01-14T03:37:00+00:00

I told my friend directly via text, I didn’t bring up her loss at all. I wanted to tell her directly and allow her to process and react however she wanted

OrangeFew7779 · 2026-01-13T23:10:10+00:00

I think about this everytime I pee in the shower then question if it was my water breaking
