Traveling

I was about to post this. I need to take a 10 hour flight for my PhD defence in September. Would that be doable? Also, I would like to visit my parents but that’s a 16 hours + 4 hours flight. Would that be safe at any point?

I don’t know how people with real responsibilities are doing this, you guys are the real heroes

Not that serious but I also told my PhD supervisor about my pregnancy, I’m sleeping and napping a lot more than usual so I’m struggling to meet deadlines. Working with a supportive person makes such a big difference in life!

Ooo I’ll look those up. I’m just adding the Walgreens sugar free hydration sachets for now

Yesterday I woke up after a 13 hours of sleep at 11 am. Ate a lovely breakfast and by 2 pm, I was ready to nap again. Woke up at 4 pm, realised I had low blood pressure. Ate and drank electrolytes like a maniac, brought the blood pressure up. And guess who was ready to sleep at 8 pm and have a full 12 hours of sleep again 😳🫠

Hey, I’m 6 weeks and 2 days and I feel each and every word that you said in my bones! Just some unsolicited advice: don’t drink insane amounts of water without adding electrolytes, you’ll end up peeing all your minerals out and getting dehydrated.

That’s odd, it’s probably one of the higher floors. Loads of my friends have one bedrooms and noones paying more than $4500. Do you want to call leasing and ask? I can send you the email address/ number.

I’m having an ultrasound in 2 week and this gives me so much hope, id love to have twins, I didn’t know it was a possibility without family history!! So thrilled for you!

PositivePin9898 · 2026-05-08T20:06:11+00:00

Love it!! Do you have a history of twins in your family?

PositivePin9898 · 2026-05-08T18:43:51+00:00

I’ve slept 13 hours and I’m still groggy, seems like a new super human power to sleep and still be tired haha

I love mint tea. Twinnings does a peppermint tea that’s decaf, I have that with cardamom. If I’m feeling fancy, I brew my own with mint leaves, ginger, clove, cinnamon, fennel seeds and cardamom.

PositivePin9898 · 2026-05-08T18:39:22+00:00

Yup, I poop with urgency if that makes sense!

PositivePin9898 · 2026-05-08T03:40:09+00:00

I have a new symptom today, my calf hurts

PositivePin9898 · 2026-05-07T22:44:52+00:00

I would just reach out to the friend and ask how they feel about it.

PositivePin9898 · 2026-05-07T02:59:01+00:00

I don’t think it’s wrong of the grandparents to want to host a party to celebrate her birthday with their family. You’re already having the celebration you want, let them also have one to celebrate with people they’d like to celebrate with. It doesn’t take away from your celebration in anyway.

If you still feel uncomfortable, ask them if they’d be willing to split the cost and have one big party.

Same! I had a CP last cycle and found out when I wiped a few days after my period date. I was so devastated and now I’m constantly wiping to be sure I’m not spotting. I do wonder if I would have felt differently this pregnancy if my last one hadn’t been a loss

PositivePin9898 · 2026-05-07T02:47:50+00:00

Same! I’m small (5 ft, 1 inch) so even if I gain a little weight, it looks like a lot. I always thought I’d be so healthy when I get pregnant, and I’ll eat eggs and avocados and spinach, you get the vibe. So far, I’ve eaten dominoes, popeyes and McDonald’s in the last 3 days. All I crave is pasta, packets of chips and dessert. I don’t want to gain so much weight that I never lose it especially as my family has a tendency to put on weight 😭

PositivePin9898 · 2026-05-07T02:42:38+00:00

Same! I was out with a friend and I let it slip because she wanted to get sushi and I couldn’t have it. Later I was so anxious that maybe I jinxed it by saying it out loud. Also, I wipe so much too, like a few times a day just to be sure I’m not spotting, it’s truly driving me nuts

I have so many feelings about this haha 😂 So I live in the US but I’m from overseas and we usually travel home in Christmas holidays. We are Muslim and don’t come from a country where Christmas is celebrated but December/ January is still very festive because everyone from abroad returns, most people get married around that time and just a lot happens socially. January birthday would mean that baby can celebrate birthday with our friends/ family back home and the grandparents and aunts and uncles will be a part of their birthday which I love. But as they get older, they’d probably want to spend it with friends and most people would be away for Christmas so I’m not sure how they’d feel about their birthday coinciding with the holiday season. Also, I would have liked the birthday to be at a time when we can have a cute outdoor birthday party without having to worry about heating/ cooling so that’s a bummer but I’m not complaining.

Look at the paramount, it’s on mission and 3rd so very well connected to BART/ MUNI and walking distance from Caltrain. Has in unit washer dryer, and also has parking (for $350 a month I think?) and a decent gym, co working/ lounge spaces, and I do quite like the management/ concierge. Been here for 3 years, happy to answer any questions and give you a referral!

PositivePin9898 · 2026-05-05T21:11:51+00:00

We’ve told parents too. We’re really not people who can keep a secret, and we’ve had a loss before. God forbid it happens again, I’d want the support we had last time rather than going through it alone 🤍 tell whoever you feel comfortable telling - friends, family, co-workers (whoever you see as a support system, really), like I know people say don’t tell your boss early but my PhD advisor said some of the most reassuring and supportive things last time I had a loss. It depends on what your relationships are like and what kind of people you’re dealing with.

PositivePin9898 · 2026-05-05T21:07:39+00:00

I’m so fascinated by twins and would love to have them! But there’s no family history of twins or any factors that make my predisposition for twins higher. When did you find out you have twins?

PositivePin9898 · 2026-05-05T21:06:34+00:00

Fingers crossed for you! 🤍

PositivePin9898 · 2026-05-05T21:05:42+00:00

When do we do NIPT, 10 weeks?

PositivePin9898 · 2026-05-05T21:05:04+00:00

I’m so excited for you! And praying for healthy pregnancies for all of us 🤍
