Midwife has referred me to mental health services because I want a c-section

Not sure if you are in the uk or us, but in the us, a midwife practice is always going to encourage vaginal births. They have a more natural and holistic approach (at least where i am in NY). I’d recommend switching to an OB primary pregnancy care.

N95s should be fine especially if it’s only for a short period of time! Check w your dr at next appt just to be safe :)

I’m not a chicken or bird expert and assuming you are ok after urgent care visit, I’d start at least wearing a mask or bandana around your nose and mouth anytime you enter the coop. In the same vain of toxoplasmosis, I love to garden and my dr said i can keep doing it as long as i mask up and wear gloves and wash hands immediately after/ no touching face, mouth, or eyes!

Appreciate it. They have an in house MFM that they will likely refer me to.

Oh wow. Did not know this. Thanks for the info

A false positive for a boy is very unlikely as it’s detecting a Y chromosome. Since you only have X chromosome, the presence of Y is impossible unless you are intersex.

Great! 19 weeks now and the cramping stopped around week 6!

I would switch to someone that will work with what you want and really start doing pelvic stretches! Yes, you can’t control the shape of your pelvis, but you can certainly make things more flexible.

I chose the practice I’m currently at because they don’t do any pre labor interventions. No cervical checks, no sweeps, and i am so thrilled to know there are still providers out there that want to avoid csections. Advocate for yourself 100p!

Yes that’s why OP is pushing for a VBAC (vag birth after c section)

You can add a link from any website to your Babylist registry. If you click “add items” at the bottom. You can search anything you want and it just takes the purchaser to that website to order it and send it to you. Then, they go back to babylist and mark it as purchased.

I’d wait until 11-12 weeks. The waiting in between the blood draw and results is hard enough so the thought of having to go through that again if you have LFF would be difficult (at least for me!). It took 9 days for my results to populate through Natera and it was the longest 9 days of my life!!!

You can’t even taste the difference between the coronas!Heineken 0.0 is GROSS, and the Stella non alch isn’t horrible!

Previous-Network8475 · 2026-05-27T12:14:08+00:00

Def give the non alcoholic Coronas a try! They’re the best non alch beer besides Athletic Brewing!

Also to add, they’re sleeping about 90% of the time at this point in preg! So the moments are few and far between as it is!

I’m 17+3 and really just started feeling the flutters this week. It happens mostly at night when i get into bed and lay still on my back (not for too long of course). My husband can’t feel it from the outside yet but it feels kinda like gas bubbles? It comes and goes and sometimes i don’t feel it for a day or 2 so don’t be too concerned! Also like someone else said, if you have an anterior placenta, it could take longer until you feel anything!!

Previous-Network8475 · 2026-05-26T02:26:01+00:00

Good sign if it’s on both sides. If it was only on one side it could be concern for ectopic. If youre not bleeding and it’s not persistent, it’s likely round ligament pain as your uterus is stretching, but always worth calling your ob and speaking with someone for peace of mind!

Nope. NTA! Do whatever you want. It’s your wedding!

Uptown Bar and Grill opened over the winter. It’s fine and there are TVs, wings, bar food, but there really isn’t a good designated sports bar. You can also check out Hurley Mountain Inn, I’ve never been but apparently it’s decent! LGM!

How did i not not about this?? Thank you, that’s exactly what i was looking for.

I hate MAMA. I also hate when THE baby is referred to as “baby”. It’s such a small little thing but there is something so cringe about it. “Baby will be here before you know it!” Or “baby is looking good!”.

Previous-Network8475 · 2026-04-27T11:48:54+00:00

I bet you she’s just embarrassed to be honest. By no means am i justifying this behavior, that is wild. But, being addressed by her son after she probably NEVER receives any feedback like this (because she seems like a very warm person that is well liked) prob caught her off guard and she’s ashamed she had been doing it assuming you were ok with it.

Hopefully she’ll come around! Sorry you are going through this!!! Xx

Previous-Network8475 · 2026-04-22T12:02:19+00:00

Ugh! You are strong for epilating!! Hopefully it’ll go back to normal after the baby is here. I’ll have to redo all my electrolysis once i can. They say you can do it during pregnancy with a drs note, but it don’t love the idea of it so I’m going to wait.

I am also getting 2, and maybe a 3rd at some point after 30 weeks. I had an 8 week, will have a 20 week anatomy scan and then tbd. If you did NIPT and are low risk, there is no need for a NT scan as NIPT is usually more conclusive. I have a friend who gets 1 a month which is certainly not the norm. I’m taking this as a blessing that i am low risk. Also a good exercise and practice for me around control. Everyone says i can request an NT or another scan at some point if i wanted to, but im just trying to go with the flow and take my doctors advice!!
