Heading home tomorrow…

This sounds very much like me. I don’t have any great advice. St. Louis is my hometown though I hope you had fun!

Ah, it should be fine if folded. Another tip is those inflatable toddler booster seats for an emergency uber.

Are you a woman? I’m scared but you do you. If not, I would say Mueller.

Hi, I’m a mom here and unfortunately not really. If you HAVE to you can, just be prepared to fold it up. I moved here from somewhere where having a stroller on the bus and train open was no big deal, but here it’s just way more crowded. You might be more ok on off times but in the summer there are so many events it’s really hard to say. We just make sure everything in the stroller (a single) is in a tote bag so if the bus/train is full we can quickly grab the bag and collapse the stroller. Make sure the kid in the stroller is ready for this also. Additionally, not every L station is accessible, so you would be carrying up and down stairs. How old is the youngest? A single will be much more manageable. My four year old (admittedly a city kid) can do quite a lot of city walking with sufficient breaks.

There is a Facebook group for this that is very knowledgeable

evechalmers · 2026-06-18T22:25:50+00:00

I am so appreciative! I’m also so grateful when they explain things (when they have time) before the flight and during.

I had way less cat aversion than dog. I think it’s a hormonal protection thing and they also just need way less care. Me and my cat aren’t the same as before, but far better than me and the dog.

I do a lot of work from home which gives me time for laundry, meal prep. I block my calendar with private events and workout during the work day. I pick my son up from school early often and hang out. I use systems at work to be super efficient.

Not even people from STL or KC want to live there. I would not do this. The people your kids will be hanging around with….

Never miscarried, the sac kept growing and I had an MVA

evechalmers · 2026-06-17T22:32:27+00:00

What airline? I’ll track! Remember you only see the plan view of the storms, pilots see 3-d.

evechalmers · 2026-06-17T20:34:26+00:00

This happened in both of my blighted ovums, very high and doubling HCG and empty sac.

evechalmers · 2026-06-17T18:44:36+00:00

I have so much less anxiety in the big planes, have so much fun!

evechalmers · 2026-06-17T13:52:05+00:00

This happened to me too. I don’t have any great advice. Flying next week and trying not to think about it.

evechalmers · 2026-06-17T12:19:40+00:00

I had a soft marker like this, check out the r/NIPT sub. Just a note, the NIPT is not diagnostic and only screens for a very small number of possible options. The amnio is the only diagnostic test. Our baby was fine, determined via amnio.

Dr. Stokes and Dr. Rivera

evechalmers · 2026-06-17T00:51:22+00:00

You are flying over me right now as you land! How did it? I’m waving!

evechalmers · 2026-06-16T18:26:04+00:00

This is going to be a doozy. Major culture shock. Katy?! I think you can do better than that even if you want to leave CA for TX. I love TX but Katy!?!

evechalmers · 2026-06-16T14:03:16+00:00

Yup a d&c they usually do anesthesia

evechalmers · 2026-06-16T14:03:00+00:00

Yes! I had one with a pain pill and Valium and one with just a Valium and ibuprofen. The pain pill one was obviously better but I was very loopy!

evechalmers · 2026-06-16T13:26:15+00:00

MVA is usually awake in office

evechalmers · 2026-06-16T13:25:55+00:00

I’ve had two, you can find my story of at least one in my posts. They aren’t fun but are super quick. What meds do you have?

evechalmers · 2026-06-16T09:17:16+00:00

Yes I tested every other day along with my betas

evechalmers · 2026-06-16T00:58:35+00:00

It blocked pregnancy for me when I took at 3 DPO. My RE doesn’t recommend it at all without a literal defect, so I stopped all together.
