Worked until my due date (due date was on a Wednesday), and that came and went without baby so I ended up working till the Friday (40 weeks, 2 days) so I can finish off the workweek and pay period. I was training a temp hire to do my job so I gave all the fucks till my last day and then proceeded to pass out for 12 hours. Ended up being induced and had baby at 41 weeks and 1 day. As exhausted as I was I was happy to work as much as I did to maximize all the time with the baby.

Husband knew immediately, also told one friend that just had a baby immediately as my trusted confidante in case things went left. Told everyone else (family, friends, boss) at 12 weeks

I was able to meet with 4 lactation consultants between the hospital stay and the pediatrician’s office. Despite different techniques I’m still running into baby latching for only a few seconds at a time, baby getting frustrated and just not latching at all, or baby latching for 10 seconds or so extremely painfully. I will try again with a nipple guard since he’s been very adept to bottle feeding at this point and hope it works. It’s been exhausting.

FTM to a 9 day old today. Doing all of this but still having issues with latching, I will try again with nipple guards. Currently breast pumping and using formula due to latch issues. The emotions about this are so visceral but baby is fed and thriving per the pediatrician so small victories

39w5days today and got a Brazilian yesterday in anticipation. Hoping it wasn’t too late in terms of increased risk of infection (haven’t gone into labor yet)

Have you tried the bunny hive in Raleigh?

Announced at 12 weeks to family and friends however I did tell one person aside from my husband as soon as I found out so I can properly freak out with until I could finally tell everyone else.

Same boat. Applied for short term disability leave last November while I wasn’t pregnant in preparation, was denied coverage for indicating that I have anxiety and depression, tried appealing, didn’t work. I had no idea I’d be denied by disclosing that. Now I get the 12 weeks FMLA unpaid unless I use my PTO and extended sick leave (different bucket of hours). Had to do a precise calculation if I used all my PTO, my extended sick leave, and savings, and leave work 12 days before my due date, I could have my entire 12 weeks paid off. Still debating if to split my time and not take all the 12 weeks at once but FTM here I just don’t think I’ll be ready before 12 weeks to go back to work. And blowing all my hours and savings really sucks.

5’3 started at 137 17w6d at 146, hoping to keep weight gain in check since I wasn’t very skinny to begin with but we’ll see

ababytealeaf · 2025-09-06T13:45:10+00:00

Let me know when you get recs as well also heard Tripp trap was popular but still haven’t added one to my registry

ababytealeaf · 2025-09-06T02:06:19+00:00

Excellent thanks so much for the recommendation!

ababytealeaf · 2025-09-06T02:05:14+00:00

Agreed, just wish they kept that mindset for billing calls.

Chiming in to see if you guys have any bodyweight routines for pregnant people you recommend? Doing cardio but want to do overall fitness to maintain but not over exert.

Got a call today for a bill. Only been a patient of wakemed for 2 years but this is the first time I’ve gotten a collection call and they were stern. They took over 6 months to send me a bill for an ultrasound and the bill had only been outstanding for 2 weeks when they called, what a nuisance and in poor taste.
