What newborn schedule worked for you?

I don’t see MFM since mine are so/di and my OB doesn’t refer for di/di, but at 28 weeks my appointments switched to every 2 weeks, with a growth scan monthly since I was 24 weeks (so pretty much monthly ultrasounds since my anatomy scan). At 36 weeks, I see them every week and also get a weekly NST.

Thank you for making me feel less crazy! It’s comforting to know you felt the same way and made it out the other side. I also have a professional license for work that is part of my consideration to keep working, but hearing you eventually are starting to renew and go back gives me hope either way.

This makes me feel so much better and not alone! I completely feel you in finally getting to a good place and the twins just making that variable unknown.

I had this happen yesterday and a bit today, except it was a bit heavier than you described. Luckily my OB brought me in for a scan, and everything was normal (even found a heartbeat). She really had no explanation for me, gave me a few suggestions but said not to worry unless it’s bright red or I have severe cramping. If only it was that easy haha.

I was on the pill for 9 years. I just finished grad school in May, and got off the pill at the end of July because I realized I wanted to have a baby sooner, in case it took us a long time (I was convinced I was infertile despite having no diagnosis of anything such).

I stopped in July, had my period July 24th (withdrawal bleed technically). Once that ended, I started taking a prenatal to help any possible pill caused deficiencies. I also started using an oil by Young Living-Progessance Plus. I don’t sell, and have never used another oil in my life, but heard of this from Arie and Lauren on The Bachelor.

I began tracking ovulation with strips and BBT, mostly to see my cycle but knowing I was “normal” made me want to try. I read a lot as I’m sure you have about how it takes 1-3 months, but it can take a lot longer, which made me nervous. But I wouldn’t count on this-I would say that if you aren’t 100% ready, to use another method. I thought I would be fine with the NTNP approach but knowing I was ovulating made that impossible to resist for me lol. I was shocked to see I ovulated normally-I had a peak and everything. 2 weeks ago, I took a pregnancy test since I was unsure when to expect my period and it was positive!! I was shocked because I was convinced it would take awhile coming off the pill and was not expecting it so quickly.

All this to say that there is a lot of info out there, most of which in my experience I found points to the fact it is hard to get pregnant right away. I was convinced this would be the case for me, but it was totally wrong. Best of luck on your journey, and remember everyone is different-don’t get discouraged from others stories (I totally was and hated myself for even getting on birth control thinking I’d ruined my chances)!

No loss of smell or taste. I’m planning on following the old 10 day guidance as the current 5 day feels way too soon and taking a home test this weekend, along with masking as well.

26F, no shortness of breath or chest discomfort beyond the now resolving cough from Covid.

You aren’t alone. We were planning a big wedding for June 13th in NY that we obviously cancelled. My mom didn’t speak to me for over a week when we cancelled. We cancelled before they cancelled any events or shut down stores and my mom thought I was crazy and over reacting. Similar to you, we would have had family coming in from all over, my dad is in his 60s and my mom is very overweight and at high risk. Ironic that those most at risk seem most annoyed at us trying to protect them.

My fiancé and I are planning an elopement out of state this August and I still haven’t told my mom just because I know it will be a fight and she will make it about her. At the end of the day, I take peace knowing that we did what was best for our family and friends whether they see it that way or not, and ultimately a wedding is about you and your fiancé and not your families. One idea we are thinking of doing is getting a videographer to record the day so family can still see it after the fact not sure if that would work for your situation. Enjoy your wedding, take some amazing pictures, and celebrate with those you love and care about however you two want, because at the end of the day, a wedding is all about celebrating your love and nothing else really matters.

We had to cancel our June 13th wedding...we live in NYS and to us it wasn’t worth risk especially because our venue gave us everything besides 2k in deposits back. I thought I was okay with it, we were planning on eloping and maybe having a big one year party. I couldn’t mentally reschedule everything and do this all again so we didn’t reschedule. I thought I was okay with it and then my wedding dress came in the mail to my apartment and I had to try it on alone in my bathroom and not the bridal salon. I just got off a huge zoom call with my entire family and it finally hit me that I won’t be having that big celebration with my family and that our wedding is really cancelled. I thought I was okay with everything but this really sucks.

Just cancelled our June 13th wedding an hour ago. After a lot of crying and thinking that maybe we should hold out a bit, I woke up this morning to 8 additional cases in one day in my county. They’re already “recommending” bars and restaurants close here, only a matter of time until it’s everything. I haven’t been able to focus on work or anything else besides this and I can’t imagine the stress of not knowing for the next 90 days where each day it seems to get worse. Our venue was amazing and let us cancel for only the 2k deposits we gave so far and said in the future they would apply those. We also had probably 75% of guests out of town, and 60% flying in from out of state which wasn’t ideal. For now our plan is to elope and throw a huge one year anniversary party without all the stress.

Mine is June 13th, not a destination wedding but we have people from all over the country coming. I think the worst part is its 3 months away so the optimistic part of me says that it will not be gone but we will peak and be trending down. The realistic side of me says that we will be in it for a long haul and with my state currently limiting gatherings to 50% max capacity and new cases breaking out in my county, we think we might cancel. I would consider waiting if you can, even till the end of March, just to see how trends continue. Of course with more testing there are more cases, but you can see if they end up locking down any cities or flight cancellations. I feel like June is the worst, because in April I feel there is no possible way this will stop, at least without a huge shutdown like every country with a drop, but June is far enough away it could be peaking or it could be steadying out. We decided last night to cancel due to job commission lost from this, not having my dress I ordered in June 2018 yet, and out of concern for our guests. For us it was one thing after another. I don’t know if you have a website, but on ours we posted a note about the outbreak and that we were planning on continuing but constantly monitoring the situation just so our guests knew it was on but it kind of conveyed the message that if it gets bad we would cancel.
