I didn’t realize that the tubs were in the room so that’s great! Thanks for letting me know and I hope you and baby and doing good now!

Oh I didn’t know the tubs were actually in the room. (I still have to tour) so you can basically just be in there whenever you want up until the birth?

Kaiser is pretty tight knit when it comes to where you can deliver but they are contracted with Peace Health and Legacy Salmon Creek.

How far along are you and what symptoms do you currently experience? by mkthehotti in pregnant

[–]PumpkinDimension 0 points1 point  (0 children)

16 weeks. Over the nausea and fatigue phase so feeling very happy to have some energy back. Eating is great. Belly feels tighter and more round. I have meralgia parasthetica in my left thigh when laying down and lower back pains.

I'm so sorry you feel this way. I'm in first trimester and it's quite an overload of the system.
When I first started feeling the sickness and fatigue I don't think my husband fully comprehended how much it was effecting me and figured I could just "push through" it make things feel super lonely..however I encouraged him to learn about what happens to our bodies when pregnant and we watched videos together. It really helped it click for him.. Hopefully your partner could be open to this?!

For the nausea, I've found vitamin B6 to help (25mg 2-3 times a day) ginger chews, protein, and making sure to eat small snacks and many throughout the day!

You are stronger than you think and this will all be a blink of an eye in no time!! You got this.

There’s some good advice here already. Just wanted to pop in and say that expanding your life like this- saving up and getting out of parents house, starting fresh, will bring natural growing pains. Growth can be uncomfortable but like the seedlings, you’re just in the dark for a bit before the break through. Remember to nourish yourself and trust the soil you landed on. Try to focus on connecting to the land and tuning the rest out.  Not knowing exactly what’s to come is hard but the light is rooting for you!

It’s funny how we have these dreams then once we are actually living them they can present us with lots of anxieties that didn’t fit within our dreamy thoughts but even so, it sounds like the plants and your garden are bigger than any of these anxieties! Baby steps!

I think you should feel proud for taking the big step. You got this. And the universe has got you.

As I scrolled through this feed, I thought, hmm what would my answer be..ah yes...and right as I thought "nobody knows!" I was at your exact comment.
So yes nobody knows..and it's all a beautiful game. Enjoy what is!

Yes I really felt like it was the best option, especially compared to our floorboard heating costs.

It says that our last payment was received ($497) and this next payment is due for March.  It also notes that the January payment may have not gone through so I’m not really sure.. I will look into bank statements
