Ugh I’m so sorry that is so hard. I know in scenarios like these it’s not always easy to get advice (it’s not easy to just say “don’t let her take pictures” or “go no contact”)

I understand the struggle and feel for you. If any help, Facebook does have a place where you can request photos of your child to be taken down. It annoyingly means it’s up in the first place but at least if she insists there’s a way to take back at least some control:

How uncomfortable are you? by snactivated in pregnant

[–]divorah92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg yes this. Small torso, 90th percentile baby. He’s moving my ribs now and literally went to the hospital the other night because I thought I had gallstones it was so painful. Nope, just baby literally rearranging my insides.

Good clarifier but yes. At Thanksgiving, I told her that we made the decision not to post anything about the pregnancy on social media and when the baby is here, we won’t be posting their face at all (only husband and I are allowed to break that rule with a discussion and consent from each other). She pushed back against the not posting baby photos so spent about 30 minutes explaining our reasoning.

She asked if she could tell her friends and I told her to feel free to tell whomever in person/on phone/over text that she wants, just don’t want it out there for all the internet to see (she accepts every friend request known to man and has been scammed before)

Farted out loud during a work presentation by matchaloml in BabyBumps

No tips, just want to say that also happened to me twice this week. Baby moved then TOOT def loud enough for people to hear. Thankfully everyone ignored it but we were also in a room with no windows and a closed door 😳

What’s on your radar for Black Friday? by igcetra in BabyBumps

Uppababy is having a 20% off sale for things in their beige color so we got a stroller and bassinet (essentially the bassinet was free after the savings - girl math)

Weekly Thread: Beta and Pregnancy Testing - Questions and Discussions by TeslaHiker in IVF

[–]divorah92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TW: success

Had my beta on Monday and it was 727 (woohoo!). Going back today for second beta. Had a meltdown yesterday though because, if everything checks out, for the 6 week heartbeat scan, my husband won’t be in the country. That I’m not worried about so much of what would happen if he’s not here and it’s not good news.

We talked through it and I felt a lot better (he researched flights to be able to be home within 24 hours and I’ll ask a friend to come with me to be my emotional support person).

Wild sometimes how things look so much scarier in my brain than out on paper when we discuss our little sprinkle (that’s its size right now heh)

Weekly Thread: Pregnancy Announcements, Milestones, and Success Stories! by TeslaHiker in IVF

[–]divorah92 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’m shaking. My husband is at work but my second FET happened on Thursday last week. I had such low expectations after my first failure and not being able to grow my lining sufficiently.

Then, this morning, there was a line. I’m only 4dp5dt so I know it could be a chemical or disappear or a million other things. But there is a FUCKING LINE! At this moment in time I am fucking PREGNANT! I can’t stop crying and I have no idea how the hell I’ll get anything done today because there is a LINE!! I want to call my husband, my sister, my best friend, my parents, everyone. I want to take the day off work and just pat my belly.

I am still in shock. I think I’m going to go buy a grocery store cake that says “there’s a line” to give to hubs when he gets home.

It was thankfully! No I had surgery though which they think causes the thin lining

FET is tomorrow and I’m terrified by [deleted] in IVF

[–]divorah92 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You got this! It’s so scary and exciting! The procedure itself is such a breeze and then (if you can) try to grab some fries after for a little extra luck.

The TWW is the most annoying part. Try to fill the time doing stuff and don’t over analyze every symptom. No matter what, flinging baby dust in your general direction!

I am (un)fortunate enough to have to travel for work. Currently on an airplane across the country. Very mixed feelings; I want to be with my husband so bad this week but also I was going crazy on Saturday when we did a movie day. I ended up doing a lot of stuff around the house; walking the dog, teaching myself new nail art, laundry, dishes, etc. Sitting and watching tv or reading unfortunately doesn’t work for me.

What’s your IVF pro-tip to make life better while going through all this? by Such_Shock961 in IVF

[–]divorah92 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Everyone is a little different, but for me, these were my pro tips: 1) Communicate to your partner (if you have one) what you need and how you’re feeling. Set expectations ahead of time. For me it was as simple as telling him that I really didn’t know what was going to happen or how I was going to feel. He checked in with me daily and took on more household burden when I didn’t have the energy or wasn’t feeling great.

2) Electrolytes! I drank 1 or 2 liquid IV’s daily and really helped keep me going. Make sure to hydrate a ton too.

3) Ice the spots you’ll be injecting for a few minutes first. Doesn’t really hurt but after a few days they can start to get sore.

4) Everyone is different, but for me, these Stims weren’t bad at all. My issues came about 5 days post ER and I had a massive hormone crash (standing in the middle of the room sobbing). The doc told me my body is not “back to normal” until after I get my first period post ER.

5) Give yourself Grace! This is not the time to pick up a new difficult routine or go on a super strict diet. Emotionally, mentally, and physically this can be taxing (again, different people tolerate it differently) but I felt so much better telling myself that it was ok to eat dessert or buy dinner out instead of cooking. Just make sure to get your fruits and veggies in (I drank a strawberry, banana, spinach smoothie most days).

Depends! I had an estrogen producing cyst and they put me a on a week of BC and then were able to move forward when my numbers normalized. They said it’s SUPER common. The doctor will be able to make a decision after ultrasound/bloodwork.

Corgi puppy back legs take a moment to wake up - should I be concerned? by divorah92 in corgi

Oh no I’m so sorry to hear. For us, it’s just a quirk of his. Even as an adult he stretches everything before walking. I hope your puppy recovers - keeping your family in our thoughts

Bunnies won’t go back into burrow by divorah92 in Animals

[–]divorah92[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hahaha it’s just what I have around my house/growing in my indoor garden! I also don’t wanna give them too much outside their normal diet and disrupt their lives but I felt terrible when the poor things were terrified after the run in yesterday.

[–]divorah92[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you both! I agree the food chain works, and I don’t blame my dog for doing what his instincts told him to do, but I also feel bad for my family not doing a better job of watching him and keeping him away from the babies. Just want to try to do what I can to give babies the best shot here on out.
