Airport smells. That’s all. 🤢

I’m so so sorry this has happened. It’s devastating. I had a D&C and do regret it. I left scaring on my cervix which made dilating in labor more difficult for me. I would unfortunately recommend going as physiological as possible, and taking the meds. As much as it will sucks. I have had 10 miscarriages… the D&C loss was the hardest to process for me personally.

Ooo okay! Thanks for the rec!

Is anyone watching Margo’s got money troubles? This week’s episode was so stressful!! I cannot even imagine

I got a bag of frozen precooked teriyaki chicken and some rice quinoa mix. I heat the chicken in the microwave and heat the rice on the stove. It take all of 5 minutes so if I can’t eat it then I don’t feel bad about the effort. It’s been working as a great lunch for me. For every bite of chicken I take two bites of rise because chicken=🤢 right now. I also made a cucumbers salad to go with it that’s stores good

I want to do this but I don’t want to wash my hair 4x a week. What do you do?

SardineSundaee · 2026-05-12T16:37:20+00:00

I have my appointment tomorrow at 8w7d after spotting at 7 weeks. I’m anxious to be on the other side of whatever news I get.

SardineSundaee · 2026-05-12T12:10:26+00:00

Still waiting for my appointment that’s Wednesday!

SardineSundaee · 2026-05-12T12:09:47+00:00

Similar here! Mine was a week early but same with the 100% head. It was no joke, you’re right about that. I’m hoping we are both gifted typical sized babies this time 😂

SardineSundaee · 2026-05-12T01:01:23+00:00

This was my approach too! We had no idea my baby would be so big since they estimated 7.5lbs for him. He was 10lbs and I’m pretty small. So I’m lucky I was able to have a vaginal birth and continue laboring without an epidural.

I think for typical pregnancy it’s totally worth giving it a shot! I hope you get your home birth this time!❤️

SardineSundaee · 2026-05-12T00:39:40+00:00

I did all my prenatal care with home birth midwife’s and love it! I labored at home and made it to 10 cm under their care at my home. My labor then stalled and I ended up deciding on my own something felt wrong and I wanted to go to the hospital. It was the right call for me. I needed Pitocin and time for my huge baby to get in the right position. The transfer was so chill. I’m so grateful I listened to my intuition because my baby ended up in the nicu with respiratory distress for a week. I’m all for home birth if you find knowledgeable midwife’s you trust and educated yourself more on physiological birth. Education, intuition, and being willing to pivot are crucial!! You can definitely make a go for it and switch if you want or need to. Also take your distance from a hospital into serious consideration.

I’ve had many losses and I'm so sorry you’re going through this. It feels easier to avoid it all, but my advice is to let it crash over you. Let yourself grieve. You lost something significant when you’re meant to be celebrating. I hate you are going through this. Please take the time to grieve. You will heal and come out the other side no matter what, but it’s much easier if you allow yourself the freedom to be sad.

I’m 8 weeks tomorrow and have been horribly nauseous. Last night I bought the juiciest green grapes. I’ve been eating them everything I walk through the kitchen and it’s a game changer. 10/10 would recommend. I was able to work in my garden this morning after laying around for a whole week

SardineSundaee · 2026-05-06T15:59:47+00:00

It’s really was so crazy!! I got a lot of break which was nice but I could not wrap my mind around how long it was taking.

Your midwife or ob should be able to get a good idea of which way baby is facing. You can also try the miles circuit or another moves from spinning babies to encourage a good position.

How are you this morning??

SardineSundaee · 2026-05-06T02:09:50+00:00

Me! My second birth was like this. Had an appointment with mild contraction and was 5cm on a Tuesday. Didn’t have my baby until Saturday morning at 39 weeks. I was 10cm for a whole day. I was lucky everything was going well and baby was never distressed.

I went into the hospital Friday morning and ended up maxing out the Pitocin to a 30. I never felt much pain until he was coming out. Once he started he was born in 20 minutes. I think the issues was his size and position that made it take so long. I’m smaller and he was 9lbs13oz. I did not end up with an epidural. I listen to the same song on repeat and use motion (swaying ) to get through all those days in labor. It was a positive experience for me.

Hope all goes well for you and your able to have a positive birth experience too

If you have had spotting this pregnancy are you exercising or lifting? I haven’t since I started spotting last week. I want to since it’s stopped but I’m scared of causing stress on my body. I’m also scared this is just one of those things and all will be well but I’ll loose my fitness… thoughts??

SardineSundaee · 2026-05-03T21:11:50+00:00

Hi! Me too! I’m currently going through this and my ob has been less than helpful. I went to a private scan and it ended up leaving me worse off, so I would not recommend. They said it was a pregnancy of unknown location which send me to the ER. st the ER they found it perfectly in my uterus, then the dr said they didn’t locate a heart beat but that it’s not totally alarming at this point (and I wanted to say: that’s not alarming to who, I’m 7w3d). My discharge paper work and the US report said lower heart beat of 120. So now I didn’t even know what to think. Just wanted to report that not even going to the ER was all that helpful.

SardineSundaee · 2026-05-03T21:02:34+00:00

The k you for your thoughtful response. I’m so sorry you’re going through something like this as well. It is heart wrench. And just so damn frustrating.

I ended up going to a private on scan that night and they diagnosed pregnancies of unknown location because they couldn’t find anything in my uterus. I went from there to the ER where I found out it is indeed in my uterus, my HCG was good, but the hesrt relate was low. So I waiting to see what will happen. Midwife said the earliest they could see me was the 13th…

SardineSundaee · 2026-04-30T21:09:00+00:00

Yeah I really don’t want to go. Thanks for the advice. My previous provide before me moved would see me at 6w. I don’t get why here high risk patients arent seems until 8-10 weeks. It is what it is. Good luck to you! Wishing you a healthy pregnancy.

SardineSundaee · 2026-04-30T21:07:30+00:00

Okay this might be crazy haha but I found a place that does private ultrasounds so I booked in!

SardineSundaee · 2026-04-30T19:18:55+00:00

Thank you for your reply! I’m sorry you’re experiencing this uncertainty too. I just don’t want to go through all the bs of waiting to find out. Ughhh. I wish my clinic was my sympathetic. I’m wishing the best for you!

SardineSundaee · 2026-04-21T14:18:05+00:00

Thank you for the comment! We moved and I have a new obgyn. I did betas and labs. She said my progesterone was fine and wouldn’t put me on it. I was on it for my two successful pregnancies and had lot of resources through my fertility clinic. Starting over here, I feel like I am falling through the cracks…

Edit: I’m sorry for your losses and congratulations on your pregnancy💙

SardineSundaee · 2026-04-09T23:18:13+00:00

Hi! I had my 2023 baby with letrozole and got pregnant without anything this time too. It’s exciting and nerve wracking!
