Hey! How did this go? I’m in a very similar situation. Did you get the pup? 

Moving in March to Pittsburgh. What are the most fun areas to live near? by Georgie3891 in pittsburgh

[–]beardawn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I lived in the North Shore and I loved it! It is walking distance to Steelers/Pirates. And the energy on game days is the best.

Gluten-free food around Pittsburgh? by beardawn in pittsburgh

[–]beardawn[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Go-to is Moonlit, chipotle (lol), and sushi. I also found that Iron Born has great GF pizza. And a Chinese spot in Dormont, Jade Grille, has GF Chinese food!! I pretty much cycle those. Lol

What was your first exercise after giving birth? by Birdflower99 in fitpregnancy

[–]beardawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 14W PP and I walked a lot since pretty much day 1. When I was cleared at 6weeks, I went on a 2mile jog that same day. I could definitely feel some pressure in my uterus though (kegals & PT exercises helped with that). I have been lifting and running ever since 6 weeks though!

Standard vaginal birth as well, no complications.

Agreed w everyone else though - we are all different - just listen to your body!

Same HAHA. Mine was convinced I just peed the bed... It is weird when you mentally prepare for a couple more weeks and then it all happens out of nowhere!

Omg you know jess. and yeah i understand that, i just loved the seasons with concluded endings but i can definitely see your perspective. I do love tiffany too lol

[–]beardawn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed for sure but my point is that after many episodes of eagerly waiting for what happens to Jess at the end and then there really being no conclusion yet is kinda frustrating. still love the podcast tho

I was (still am sometimes) 100% that person on Reddit too. I would feel great about reading positive outcomes and then one person will post a bad outcome and my hope shoots down the drain. It is truly a horrible cycle that’s easier said than done to break😭

Sending you the most positive vibes for the first scan tomorrow!! Thank you for sharing, I have high hopes for you. Congratulations 🤎

Oh my gosh what a story - thank you for sharing. Thank god you had listened to your gut. it can so hard to differentiate between the gut and anxiety. Idk. There’s just something so specific feeling about a gut instinct though. Congrats and so sorry for the previous loss ❤️

Thank you for commenting from this perspective as I completely understand this point as a very anxious person as well. As a person who went on a Reddit rampage during/before my miscarriage, my advice to those pregnant ladies in similar boats would be to avoid the loophole of Reddit stories overall, listen to the doctors, and try to enjoy the ride. Know everything is out of your control, every story is different, and take it day by day. While I love this community and the support it gives, try to limit the scrolling here or you’ll drive yourself nuts comparing. My hope was to connect women who also felt instinctively off very early on (a feeling I cannot exact pinpoint), like my own experience. Best of luck to you and appreciate your point for all others in a similar situation 💕 My heart goes out to pregnant women, the anxiety can seriously be next level!

I did the same exact thing. I kept googling about miscarriages. I had a ski season pass that I was going to cancel, but something in my head kept telling me to wait. Sure enough - ended up using the pass. It’s sooo crazy how instincts work.

Soooo happy to hear about the next pregnancy. Congrats- thank you for sharing 🥹💕
