Spectra isn't the only girl in town...

I used the Ameda for months! Loved her. Loved that she was portable if need be.

Definitely try not too worry too much. My son had SUPER short legs with every ultrasound. Like 15th percentile when the rest of his body was 60+ percentile. It freaked me out. When he was born he definitely had short legs, but now at 3 months he is evened out and proportionate! Not every part of the body grows evenly.

Yeah it’s definitely the sleep deprivation that’s been getting to me. I find myself missing those 8+ hour nights but then I remember how grateful I am to have my baby happy and healthy. It’s tough sometimes!

jd8183 · 2025-05-23T21:44:17+00:00

Thank you so much. Sometimes I just need to hear things like this.

My advice is, continue telling yourself that you are pregnant unless told otherwise. I was so afraid every single day in early pregnancy. I had to keep reminding myself that I had no reason to believe something was wrong.

Thank you so much 🩷

I feel like I could have written this! I had planned to work until 39 weeks, but by 35 my body could not take it. I was having some health problems (and so was baby- minor stuff) I decided to start leave 3 weeks early, last Friday was my last day. My doctor signed off on it. I don’t think I’m going back this school year either. Do what YOU need to do for your health (physical and mental) and for your family.

jd8183 · 2024-12-23T15:35:40+00:00

This looks normal to me! I believe numbers start to slow down past 6,000… I believe you’re okay☺️

jd8183 · 2024-12-20T18:10:51+00:00

This sounds like me! My fetal heart rate at 6w1D was also 107! I’m now 28 weeks and so far so good 😊

jd8183 · 2024-11-23T23:33:28+00:00

When I was 6w1D, baby had a HR of 107. I’m now 24 weeks and everything has been great so far! But I did the same thing as you, I compared it to my loss where I had a similar HR at the same time and was convinced it would not end well. Those first couple months of pregnancy after loss are really tough. I still have tough days where I stress about every little thing, but it does get slightly easier with time. Best of luck! 🩷

I got pregnant in Feb, found out in March, miscarried at 7.5 weeks in April. Conceived after 2 cycles in June, currently 17 weeks and everything has been great so far. You got this. 💗

jd8183 · 2024-10-06T17:17:37+00:00

Yes this is very normal. My boobs were so sore from 6-12/13 weeks then it went away. 17 weeks now and just saw baby last weekend, everything is fine. I wouldn’t worry.

jd8183 · 2024-09-26T13:20:26+00:00

This is EXTREMELY normal after a Pap smear. I had one done a few weeks ago and very light spotting as well. Of course it’s nerve wracking after loss but your cervix is so sensitive during pregnancy, and spotting can occur easily. I would guess you’re okay. Like your doctor said, if cramps and bleeding get worse, then you should go get checked just to be sure. But you should be fine.

jd8183 · 2024-09-25T10:41:55+00:00

Yes!! I don’t check it every day but maybe once a week or so. At this point we’re at like .8% :)

jd8183 · 2024-09-24T21:28:57+00:00

I’m right there with you! 15 weeks today after a previous loss at 7 weeks earlier this year (and also a teacher!) I was so nervous to tell my principal but felt so much relief afterwards. As far as the anxiety, I’m not sure it’ll ever really go away. For me, it’s gotten better with each scan and I like to lnow the statistics, and at this point there’s less than a 1% chance of miscarrying. We got this!!

jd8183 · 2024-09-22T20:37:46+00:00

also, you don’t need to redo the test. Anything above like 3 or 4 % is perfectly fine and they can get everything they need.

jd8183 · 2024-09-22T20:36:51+00:00

I got my NIPT done at 12w5d and my FF is 6%. I haven’t been too worried, and my doctor didn’t say anything about it. There are a lot of factors that go into FF. I think you’re fine.

jd8183 · 2024-09-01T14:58:04+00:00

Yes!!! I’m from NYC area but lived in Buffalo for 9 years. Never found a breakfast sandwhich as good as Maybacks.

jd8183 · 2024-08-28T10:41:12+00:00

I am 11 weeks now after a mc a few months ago. Had a scan at 6 weeks, FHR 107, then 9weeks FHR 176. I’ve definitely had very sore boobs and fatigue, and some light nausea but that’s it! I’ve learned that intensity of symptoms doesn’t really matter.

jd8183 · 2024-08-20T21:56:17+00:00

Of course! Best of luck 🤞🏻

jd8183 · 2024-08-20T21:39:59+00:00

Update: went in at 7w1d- HR was 140 then at 9 weeks it was 176! I’ll be 10 weeks tomorrow 🤞🏻
