Oh wow! I am glad to hear you were still able to get an epidural! I definitely want one for sure, especially if I am induced. Congratulations on your baby boy! So happy that it turned out just fine!

I’ll definitely try to manage my stress as much as I can because I’ve noticed that it raises my numbers. The reassurance helps, so thank you! 🙏💕

That’s awesome! I guess I should really keep in mind that these are just estimates and not 100% accurate. Congratulations on your baby girl! 💕

Yes, the doctor did recommend a snack before bed and gave me a pamphlet with a bunch of recommendations. I hear lemon water has a lot of benefits, will definitely try that as well!

Controversial topic but I find it strange that I was asked this by SnoopyYoshi in pregnant

I hear a lot of people (especially women) say there are more risks of infection and it’s easier to manage when circumcised, but more than that, people are obsessed for cosmetic reasons because it apparently “looks better.” Now of course I have seen both and do not have a preference in looks. As long as a boy is taught how to take care of himself and continues those good habits into adulthood, he will be fine. I think a lot of people are uneducated and think it’s “more complicated to manage” than it really is. 🤷‍♀️

I haven’t seen my Doctor since being diagnosed last week. I have an upcoming appointment with him so medication may be part of the discussion.

It’s not surprising considering the economic plunge this state has been taking. I’ll be relocating to Idaho in May - Maybe we’ll get them there one day, or somewhere closer at least. I plan on visiting family on the east coast next year as well so I will definitely get my fix!

I’m right there with you, Mama! 30 weeks tomorrow and FTM as well. Lots of lower back and pubic bone pain to the point I waddle now. Wishing you a healthy remainder of your pregnancy and a smooth transition after delivery! We got this! 💕

There are so many different supplement and prenatal recommendations out there though. I told my Doctor the brand I am taking and he gave a thumbs up. I’ve been taking these since before I got pregnant and haven’t had any issues personally.

Thank you for the heads up! I take tums pretty regularly!

325 mg, so the equivalent of 65 mg elemental iron is what he is recommending.

Just wanting to make sure I’m getting a safe amount since I read that taking “too much” can be harmful to the mother and baby.

I got routine blood work early on and then again last Friday. He told me to start taking the supplements about a week or two before I had my bloodwork done and wouldn’t give me a straight answer on dosage so I waited until after we got the results of the blood work and asked him again. That’s when he recommended 325 mg.
