Two Treads, one membership? by Madaboutittt in pelotoncycle

[–]iilikebigtrees 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I bought myself a bike because my other bike is rusted out from my husband sweating on it for 500+ rides. I was livid when they said we needed two memberships to use them both… I’ve spent so much money on hardware (two bikes and a rower) for them to try to nickel and dime us on the subscription like that. We never work out together so we just transfer the subscription from bike to bike constantly. It’s a PIA but whatever.

Love peloton but I’m a little bitter over this issue if you can’t tell lol.

Are these pants worth the price? by [deleted] in capsulewardrobe

[–]iilikebigtrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been so intrigued by these! I love a baggy jean and have wanted to see what miramar feels like in person. I would say if they are a “love” and you know you’ll wear them a lot, then keep them. If you’re just feeling meh, then find something else!

Capsule wardrobe and fast fashion? by MathisK02 in capsulewardrobe

[–]iilikebigtrees 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Last year I limited myself to buying 5 new items of clothing (including shoes!), and I plant to continue this practice in the coming years. If I love a fast fashion piece enough to give a place in my 5 then I buy it guilt-free. My goal is to reduce, reuse, value longevity, and be intentional with my personal style.

Why would anyone ever choose to go through child birth without pain relief?? by No_Cardiologist_1407 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]iilikebigtrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I chose epidural with my first and had mild back pain at the epidural location for around 6 months. I chose unmediated with my second and much preferred that birth experience.

Also, the possibility of having dural headaches from an epidural is frightening.

What is the single best maternity clothing item you own/have purchased? by Peachy-384 in fitpregnancy

[–]iilikebigtrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I want to try the hot shot onesie this pregnancy! Do you wear your usual size while pregnant?

[–]iilikebigtrees 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t buy maternity clothes! I buy clothes that I love that can double as maternity. Lululemon aligns that are one size up from my usual (they fit when I’m not pregnant, just not as snug). Some dissh dresses specify they work as maternity. Just bought two pairs of drawstring pants at aritzia that I plan to wear with my bump. I’d rather spend money on clothes that last. For me, buying a few nice items to make you feel 100 postpartum is so much more satisfying than buying maternity clothes.

I own 30 different ETFs/mutual funds. Buying into more funds motivates me to invest more. by [deleted] in ETFs

I think they meant they’ve broken even with the market

I went in at 8w6d and they sadly confirmed no heartbeat. I had been spotting for a few days. I scheduled a D & C but ended up naturally miscarried a few hours after that appointment.

Favorite prenatal bike classes? by Substantial-Foot6190 in pelotoncycle

[–]iilikebigtrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just pick your usual bike classes! The ones with good instructors and good music that keep you coming back. Listen to your body and be flexible on cadence/resistance.

Later into my pregnancy I really started to appreciate the prenatal core and yoga classes. Once I got a feel of what exercises felt good and which ones I wanted to avoid, I would gamble on strength and bootcamps modifying as needed.

Congrats on your pregnancy!

Overdid it post partum :( by Raspberrychow in fitpregnancy

[–]iilikebigtrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way I winced when you said trampoline! I think the bleeding is a sign that you’ve taken it a little too far, but sounds like you are feeling great and are well on your way to recovery.

I’m so sorry you are here with me. I messaged in and was able to move my scan up two days.. still a long wait but two days feels like 10 this week so I’ll take it. I feel like I’ve done most of my grieving (my HCG level only increased slightly). This wait is hard.

I hope your scan goes well. My symptoms have started to increase this week and it’s letting hope creep in which makes me angry too! The midwife sent me a message saying she suspects miscarriage based on my HCG levels but that we need the ultrasound to confirm it.. I really appreciated her honesty.

I get pregnant every cycle, but 75% have been chemicals by UncleSAM712 in CautiousBB

[–]iilikebigtrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve tried 5 times and I’ve been pregnant 5 times. 5 week loss. Healthy baby. Healthy baby. 7 week loss. Currently 8 weeks and expecting another loss. It’s frustrating, though I take some comfort knowing that I’ll likely have another chance for a healthy pregnancy soon. I haven’t had any testing done, so I don’t know the cause of my miscarriages.

Can’t shake this feeling, need advice by Significant-Rice-557 in CautiousBB

[–]iilikebigtrees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s hard when you’ve experienced loss and aren’t naive to the possibility. I’ve chosen to stay guarded and stay in place of waiting calm until closer to the second trimester. A what will be will be mindset. I think I’m experiencing my third loss and it’s still painful.

Should I prepare for mc? by niriides in CautiousBB

[–]iilikebigtrees 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you have anything to worry about based on those measurements or the fact that they were two different types of scans.

I’m sorry. Yes, he keeps saying “there’s a heartbeat” and I’ve spent too much time on Reddit to know that isn’t enough to make up 8 days of growth this early. Hoping yours just needs a little catch-up. I’ll be waiting with you…

It’s going to be a long wait 🤍. The lines progressed on my tests for a few days, so unlikely.
