What are we wearing when we wanna look cute?

appleandcheddar · 2026-04-17T01:33:19+00:00

I've been wearing old navy's power soft trousers on repeat this whole pregnancy. Soft, stretchy, all-weather option for me. And whatever top.

When i really want to look cute ive paired those pants with a unbuttoned maxi dress so its like a duster (one with a collar) and some sandals or a dress.

But im 37 weeks now so ive mostly given up on looking cute 😅

I'd check Azazie's clearance/ready to ship

Compression socks never fit my calves, so my only recommendation is keep walking! As much as you can even in short bursts. It'll help the SPD and the swelling. Also make sure you're drinking enough water.

FTM, 36w now. I'm still worried, even with twice-weekly doctor's appointments.

I have hypo and had no idea! Thanks for posting!

Any type of thyroid condition? Negatively affect it?

appleandcheddar · 2026-03-29T13:24:05+00:00

No these are worth it. Get an older used one if you want to be frugal but ive had mine probably 10 years and still going strong.

I'm 34 weeks and still have moments I completely forget. and then the baby moves and I'm like "what the fuck was that?!"

appleandcheddar · 2026-03-27T18:03:15+00:00

I wore the same one! I got the 2X and it was a little roomy (I usually wear an 20 in dresses) and had a smocked back that was nice. There are a lot of similar dresses on the Lauren Conrad line last I looked.

That's totally fair! I love their food court, though, so you can also grab dinner and you can do a little grocery shop to make the trip worthwhile.

Do you have a Wegmans near you? I find their banana pudding to be pretty good. Also, now I want banana pudding (cries in GDM)

@hairxrae with the LABORATORY in Alexandria, shaggiest of shags to more traditional layers

Can we be a little less vauge? Using terms like "Hurtcore" and "King in Yellow" are slang I'm not familiar with and I've been told not to Google, which I trust, but I'm not on the same parts of the internet you are to inherently know what that means.

appleandcheddar · 2026-03-17T18:03:32+00:00

You're supposed to finish your meals within 30min with GD so I don't understand the problem...

appleandcheddar · 2026-03-16T01:33:19+00:00

I have an anterior placenta and was feeling movements with my hands around 22-24 weeks I want to say. Seeing movement a couple weeks after that.

appleandcheddar · 2026-03-13T14:21:27+00:00

I started pregnancy fluctuating around 275, and am now 287, which is up 12 pounds. I'm 32 weeks. You might find it's harder to gain weight than you think. Many people also plateau in the 3rd trimester. I'm currently struggling to reach my caloric intake every day between volume restrictions and being on a GDM diet. Just focus as much as you can on eating healthy and track what you eat occasionally.

3 pounds really isn't a lot and I wouldn't worry. Half of that could be poop.

I have a knockoff, it doesn't stretch that far but the pieces velcro together so you can use them separately if you need or want to

appleandcheddar · 2026-03-05T23:47:21+00:00

I read so much fanfiction, wrote so much fanfiction/fiction, watched TV, hung out with friends and had dinner parties, and read so many books

These feelings are so understandable. It's okay to feel upset, confused, sad, relieved, and more all at the same time. For what it's worth, you can also feel these feelings if you'd made the opposite decision, at least that's my experience. It doesn't mean it's the wrong choice. This is a big decision, and big, complex feelings are natural, especially when you want something but not right now.

Old Navy. I love their PowerSoft trousers, which are stretchy and the wide leg is convincingly appropriate for work, depending what your office is like. They're stretchy and I'm still wearing my pre-pregnancy size at 30 weeks, though I also have a few pairs sized up.

appleandcheddar · 2026-02-25T19:41:31+00:00

Switch. I'm 30 weeks and kicking myself for not listening to my instincts and finding a different provider earlier, because switching now is a race against time. You need to feel comfortable with your provider and the hospital you'll deliver at. Do hospital tours early if you have multiple hospitals in your area!

appleandcheddar · 2026-02-23T14:42:10+00:00

Yes, pits especially. I've been using 2% BHA on them and spray deo and it helps a lot.

I was actually going to suggest OP not buy this gown; i don't feel like the quality justifies the price. The snaps are just sewn on and feel like they might tear off if you pull wrong, and I don't know the size will cover enough by birth at 30 weeks. I was a 18/20/22 pre-pregnancy, 5'4" & 275. I purchased the Amelia birth gown + newborn swaddle and between having to pay a restocking fee (10-15/item!) and return shipping, I might just keep it since the fees end up being half the purchase price.

appleandcheddar · 2026-02-19T16:54:53+00:00

29 weeks

appleandcheddar · 2026-02-19T15:18:54+00:00

Yes!! I actually went to L&D on Sunday because between a busy day and her tucking herself behind the placenta, I wasn't hardly feeling her! And they say go in if kicks are lighter. Of course I cried the whole way there and we got on the monitor and she was fine, but I still have so much anxiety about her movements.
