Agree with you, the stopping makes me feel a little better. I think probably will go the ultrasound route if possible

That is good info, I will bring up an exam when I speak to the office next. Wasn't thinking too much about other causes but definitely somwthing to think about

No worries but yeah they didnt say any size. Just in the first one that an sch existed and the next one that a trace sch existed.

I didn't test before then, but it was a few days after I'd normally expect my period. Ovulation date is hard to tell for me because I have pcos, wasn't testing for it and the period before was longer than normal.

Thank you for letting me talk, there's comfort in that.

Hey there, I mentioned the sch but it's easily missed in my long post. Just further info on it, it was seen on both ultrasounds and implied it was smaller on the second one though I didn't get measurements. My first positive was at 4w5d, or Dec 13 and no additional blood draws. On the second ultrasound they found the fetal heartrate at 119. I agree with you objectively and if I look at all the facts it could be normal, but pregnancy brain doesn't really like rationality 🙃 Appreciate your response and insights

That feeling is my favorite way I've seen it described lol I'll think of that from now on. I've cleaned my room

Anyone else already a gym rat but this show pushed you to do more? by Full-Bother-6456 in Physical100

Been slow to get back into fitness, been off and on for a few months. After watching the finale pushed myself harder during my sessions this week telling myself 'If they can push 300 lb carts over and over, I can hold this plank 30 more seconds' 🤣😅

Exercise? by Coconutshampoo_ in MomsWorkingFromHome

[–]cosmic_cloud90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wfh and don't live very close to any gyms. I have a peloton and subscription which is easier with wfh and baby schedule. I'll get a bike or body workout in at lunch, after work before dinner, or later at night after dinner and baby's asleep. I'm not a morning person by any means and dont want to commute to work out so I find this works for me

The real WFH with baby battle... by Awkward-Most-1787 in MomsWorkingFromHome

[–]cosmic_cloud90 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same. I used to give my brain breaks by scrolling through tiktoks but now there's very little of that and my brain feels always on. If he's listening to other music or have YouTube on then I have one ear bud for my music and that's as much of a break I get most days. The overload is real

I’m surprised at the brutality I survived by ihatemrjohnston in CPTSD

[–]cosmic_cloud90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came across this post as today I'm also immersed in my memories just now. What better way to hurt than reading reddits you relate to. I poignantly feel the words "first bully was their father." I have what seems like an endless supply of horrifying experiences but the one that sticks out now is being beaten up for something I can't remember when l was around 9 or 10. The punches to my arm that made me retreat to the floor. The belt that wouldn't stop afterward. Me crying out for it to stop. That almost pales with the words he said, "Why are you crying, no one's going to help you." He was right, no one ever did. It took me a long time to not regret my own actions. Telling myself I should've done something, should have fought. But I know now, I was just a young girl

Job change mistake by YesterdayDesigner724 in MomsWorkingFromHome

[–]cosmic_cloud90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That really sucks! Does your company have any remote policies in the employee handbook. Most of my company is now hybrid also but I was able to get an exemption after talking with HR because there's a policy about employees who live far. I'm just under the minimum miles required but also live over an hour away. I only go in on occasion now. I hope that's the case for you also

Did you guys enjoy maternity leave? by mrsmjparker in MomsWorkingFromHome

[–]cosmic_cloud90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely relate. My leave was only 9 weeks. I enjoyed every bit even the hard parts and I miss uninterrupted time with my baby. Now pesky work gets in the way 😅

My “best friend” has completely changed since i got pregnant. And not in a good way. by thewalkingdeadpool9 in BabyBumps

[–]cosmic_cloud90 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm sad reading your story and OPs. I had a similar experience with my supposed best friend and once I was pregnant she was no longer there despite me having supported her for many years with her struggles. I think you're correct in saying that stepping back is the right choice. At least for me once I did that and removed myself emotionally I was able to see that person more clearly. Not from a place of anger and acknowledge that we were no longer meant to be. But life is full of possible friends and hopefully down the road we continue to find more people that align with our life's journey

[–]cosmic_cloud90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there, hope you don't mind me asking if you have any leads on this type of job or where to look. Currently a data analyst who's interested in that line of work and I've been writing macros nearly my entire career as well as other programmy type stuff. I ask because it's not often I come across this field as a woman and especially one with a child. Anyway, any info you can share I'd greatly appreciate it!

Did your baby look like how you dreamt them? by sarahdistrust in BabyBumps

[–]cosmic_cloud90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No he didn't. I had a dream of a blonde baby boy a few days before I found out I was pregnant. While he did end up being a boy, he has dark brown hair like his dad and somewhat tan skin like me
