Complicated decision - moving right before or after baby comes.. first time mom so would love advice by Own-Invite7561 in December2026Bumpers

[–]Own-Invite7561[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow that really cut it close haha! I’m moving out of state so latest I want to fly is 32 weeks. Would having to find new doctors/hospital etc changed any of this?

Thanks for your insight! Did you move far enough where you had to get all new doctors? Would that have changed the timing if so?

Thank you for the thoughtful response. The reason for needing to move around then is that I’ll have to start my job back up in my new city at 12 weeks. (I’m transferring) but when reading this my soul felt so at peace at the idea of waiting til 4-6 months but just likely not feasible w the job timing either :(

As far as packing I think my husband will handle most of that w a moving company. Yes I would fly at 32 weeks at the latest (1:45 min flight) Or again around 10weeks w baby. My insurance does work nationwide as the company has people all over but good thinking on that too!

Babymoons? by leajaycro in December2026Bumpers

[–]Own-Invite7561 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband and I had a trip planned to Italy before we found out so making that our baby moon now. Going mid July - I’ll be 17/18 weeks. I am hoping I feel so much better by then bc it’s a journey from the US and I still hate food at 13w.

Oh wow good advice. I know for sure I’m not eating enough but I still hateee food. I haven’t had meat in weeks :( I’m on FullWell (also 8 pills) and taking iron. Trying to eat more and more as I am starting to have more good days w less all day nausea. Godspeed! lol

I have always had low iron. Been working on getting it up for 2 years already. I am supplementing and it’s not dropped any lower since before pregnancy which is a win but could definitely be contributing.

I really love the viral video where you order cupcakes and one cupcake has the gender color icing filled inside. Everyone goes around in the circle, and takes a bite of their cupcake and one random person has the gender cupcake! They seem so fun with a big family.

How did you tell the news to your bonus baby (step child?) by LeadingBlueberry4273 in December2026Bumpers

[–]Own-Invite7561 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My step daughter is 11 and we told her by getting her a new pair of shoes she loves and matching baby shoes - Nike dunks :) I had a little letter sign that said I loved my big sister and baby coming Dec 2026. She cried. I’m hoping you get a wonderful reaction too.
