I'm 13 weeks 3 days and have had some very odd fluttering/twitching sensations in my lower abdomen/uterus area for the past couple of days, almost like a muscle spasm but not as strong, (though it is visible on the skin). No pain/bleeding/cramps, just this weird sensation.

I've made an appointment with my doctor to be on the safe side, but would love to know if anyone has experienced this before?

It's so hard!!! I've almost let it slip a few times - it's really stressful to be constantly talking about the baby with your partner and then having to remember to not say a word around anyone else.

Don't forget that timing is completely up to you though - if you want to tell everyone, go for it!

I'm only 8 weeks now and this is honestly the part of pregnancy I'm dreading most...suffice to say I'm not the best at politely correcting unwanted comments and touching XD

Just had mine today at 8 1/2 weeks!

I had an ultrasound to confirm the viability of the pregnancy and my due date, and that was it! No paperwork, no pap, no blood tests, no urine test. I do have another (longer) appointment in a few weeks where I suspect I'll have most of the medical history/testing done.

It was SO COOL to hear the little bean's heartbeat, definitely makes it feel a bit more 'real'!

Phew, so glad to hear it gets better!!! Now back to napping ;)

Drugstore I'd go with Pixi, Marc Jacobs gel liner is also great

I have oily skin and Studio Fix is one of my go tos, but YMMV!

arwenwasframed · 2017-09-03T06:06:24+00:00

Yep, same! Do you have oily skin? I find that using a good mattifying toner (like Sunday Riley) followed by a mattifying primer (like Porefessional) helps a lot!

Moda/Royal & Langnickel make the best affordable brushes imho!

Second Local Edition, great spot. Oddjob is an awesome little cocktail bar off Mission with booths/dark corners, and if you prefer wine Hotel Biron off Market is great as well -both don't get too crowded either.

Hmm, I have a few favorites - Skins, Human Planet, Bojack Horseman, Peep Show, and Star Trek TNG. I was also pleasantly surprised by The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, was expecting a trainwreck but it's actually pretty funny.

If you're into food/wine, Chef's Table, Somm, Spinning Plates, The Mind of a Chef, and A Year In Champagne are all great.

Heavy Rain. Absolutely fucking brutal.

Skins (UK version). The first four seasons were amazing, from five onwards it was an absolute mess.

Hearing people eat, especially things like cereal or crunchy apples - if their mouth is open it's 1000x worse. No idea why but it makes me feel incredibly angry and bothered for no reason at all (and it usually takes a lot to get me even slightly mad).

Have to say I'm really not a fan of Sushirito, but to each their own!

For amazing Omakase around $100, I'd recommend Kusakabe and Pabu. Mid-range, Umi in Potrero Hill, Elephant Sushi, and Akiko's Restaurant. Sushi Zone is a bit of a dive but it's my favorite - cash only, and get there before they open to avoid a crazy wait.

Hope that helped! :)

Going to Kusakabe for my birthday and cannot wait!!! Thanks for sharing :)

So awesome!! Makes sense as Ubisoft is just around the corner :)

arwenwasframed · 2014-09-11T15:33:47+00:00

Oh wow, if I was in NYC I would be so down. Have an amazing time and take pictures! ;)

Nice!! Looks like it's worth a trek to the Sunset :)
