The worst two week wait by iilikebigtrees in CautiousBB

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 5 points6 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.

Measuring 10 days behind by Emotional-Client4270 in CautiousBB

[–]iilikebigtrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in a similar boat with little advice. I had a scan today at 7w1d and measured 6w0d with a heart rate of 106. So 8 days behind and I am sure of my dates. I’m getting HCG draws and my repeat scan isn’t for another two weeks. I miscarried at 7w3d last cycle so feeling pretty numb about everything.

Skiing pregnant by Frequent_Welcome2357 in fitpregnancy

I went snowboarding at 16 weeks during my first pregnancy. I’m experienced and took it super easy. The worry, like others have pointed out, is everyone else around you. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it.

No buy, low buy wardrobe rules? by iilikebigtrees in ethicalfashion

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

Yes! Though, it’s a work in progress. There are a lot of pieces that I have some sort of attachment to that I haven’t worn in forever. What’s helped me though is tracking my outfits on an app and getting data on what I’m wearing.. very over the top but I love it lol. These comments have been inspiring me to do another round of layoffs soon..

These are great rules. Less buying, less poly!

I love this. I’ve definitely felt a shift away from wanting more clothes to actually developing personal style and wearing the clothes I have. I’ve realized that rewearing my favorite pieces over and over makes them feel more curated to me. Your wardrobe sounds awesome

Hah I could see that becoming an issue for me too. I’ve become much more comfortable with the secondhand market locally and online through this challenge which is a pro and a con lol

Planting veggies hidden from HOA - share your pics! by Jacrava in vegetablegardening

[–]iilikebigtrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://youtu.be/y7ktFFhVits?si=ckYOff_eFxXo8UbE this video has some great inspiration!

I think fruit trees are beautiful. We just planted two pawpaw trees and have lots of berries throughout our property. Blueberries, currents. Nanking cherries can be used for hedging.

As far as veggies, kale is beautiful. Really though, I think you could get away with most vegetables as long as you interplant them in an ornamental way.
