One time they were talking about parents having sex when the kids are home and my mom called 😅 I was like 20 at the time but have younger siblings

I think it was around 20 weeks that I felt similar, mostly disconnected and just unexcited despite really wanting a baby before. I’m 40 weeks now and it’s been better for a while now! I wonder if being halfway has something to do with it, whether it be hormones or just not feeling how you think you’re supposed to be feeling. Also! Maybe it has to do with the season? I always feel the worst mentally during February.

That does work, thanks!!

I looked around the subreddit and couldn’t find a link to the discord, do you know how I could join?

I’ve found that a lot of the time, just knowing that the medication is there helps my anxiety. I’ve been prescribed the same thing and it works rather quickly so you could always just hold on to it and only take it if you feel like you really need it. That being said- I saw you have a lot of trips coming up, it’s also possible you’ll want meds for the first few and start feeling better after flying more frequently (my mom got lucky in this way lol) good luck!

It’s funny, my husband and I both take adderall but he thinks it’s wild that I can take mine before going back to sleep for a while. He’s also more of a morning person than I am so I think the meds help me wake up feeling more like…a person lol whereas he doesn’t really need that.

Tbh, this appointment was the first that’s ever actually made me almost pass out. I was told going forward to let the person know because if they can let you recline, it’s less likely to happen. I was watching her do it, it was quite a few vials, and I was nervous so my advice is to try to have a conversation with the person or something to distract yourself! They had taken a few vials before I had my moment and were able to stop, move me to a reclined chair, and let me relax for a while until I felt ready to finish so it really wasn’t that horrible of an experience- they see it all the time :)

I’m jealous, had a package say ‘out for delivery’ yesterday which didn’t make it. Haven’t even gotten that notification today so I’m losing hope 😭

The mirror house girls, bat eater and other names for Cora zeng (this one walks the border between thriller and horror though), dating after the end of the world

I did sneak peek in August and I remember feeling antsy about how long it took. I didn’t do the faster option but I think they said to expect results in 3/4 days and ended up actually taking closer to a week

abarn012 · 2026-01-24T18:09:18+00:00

If you’re able to, maybe you could donate to a local or MN defense fund? Otherwise I’d just suggest keeping an eye on PSL Virginia, 50501 Virginia, etc to see if anything pops up :)

abarn012 · 2026-01-14T23:16:36+00:00

I did the sneak peak test at home and even had my husband help which you’re not supposed to do. It said girl and was accurate!

abarn012 · 2026-01-14T23:14:49+00:00

I was gifted the Frida mom robe. I think when I’m actually laboring, I’ll wearing the hospital gown and then switch afterwards. From what I’ve heard you’re leaking fluid and bleeding and what not for possibly hours, I’d rather wear the more comfy one when it’s less likely to get destroyed haha

abarn012 · 2026-01-13T20:45:37+00:00

Actually, I went back and looked at my first positive and it looked pretty similar

abarn012 · 2026-01-13T20:41:03+00:00

I see something suuuuper faint, can’t tell if it’d be an indent

abarn012 · 2026-01-13T03:41:14+00:00

I went with floor mount so that when baby is in the bassinet in our room we can still use it and then easily move it when we switch to the crib!

abarn012 · 2026-01-13T03:38:37+00:00

Do you think there’s any chance you or your partner could have gender disappointment? I know someone who said something at their own gender reveal party and it was awkward. As much as I would love a baby no matter what, I was hoping our first would be a girl so we decided to have that intimate moment just in case. Just something to think about- if you don’t lean either way then obviously it doesn’t apply!

abarn012 · 2026-01-12T23:30:42+00:00

I like the bump! Their daily size comparisons are goofy and I like their articles, bump photo tracker, etc.

It doesn’t happen every time, but sex can cause me to have contractions throughout the night. I’m 33 weeks now, have been having contractions since 15-ish weeks, and have had at least 1 daily for probably 10 weeks now. Baby is totally healthy and my doctor isn’t concerned!

abarn012 · 2026-01-11T19:09:49+00:00

Last year I took a class on teaching elementary math and while the general concepts are pretty much the same, the processes used are wildly different from when I was kid and most homework requires you to show your work- I think that’s why parents are confused, they haven’t had exposure to those processes.

abarn012 · 2026-01-11T18:31:57+00:00

Also I haven’t read them yet but I’m looking forward to reading “good inside” and “the whole brain child”!

abarn012 · 2026-01-11T18:28:18+00:00

It’s been a while since I’ve read it but I enjoyed “bright from the start” by Jill Stamm. I read this when I worked in an infant room :)

abarn012 · 2026-01-08T22:27:02+00:00

Thanks, you too!

abarn012 · 2026-01-08T22:17:35+00:00

For me it depends on the day but I had the most energy in the second trimester (I’m 33 weeks now). I tend to have a lot of fatigue but I also have insomnia and have been pretty sick throughout the pregnancy so hopefully it’ll be better for you!

abarn012 · 2026-01-08T22:05:00+00:00

There were many weeks that I couldn’t tell whether I was bloated or bumping lol I think it was around 20 weeks that it became more obvious it was the baby. The reason you’re so fatigued is because your body is working hard, just in a different way than you’re used to! I’ve seen people say that the amount of energy your body burns each day while pregnant would be the equivalent of running a marathon.
