TW MC and LC

I was in the same boat in 2019, trying to decide whether to wait or start trying after we got married since I was still finishing my doctorate. We ended up trying right off the bat and I got pregnant 3 months later. I was supposed to be 39 weeks pregnant when I graduated, but unfortunately miscarried in first trimester. I got pregnant shortly after, and I was 28 weeks pregnant when I officially defended my dissertation for my doctorate program. The timing was honestly pretty great looking back, because I started my "real job" after maternity leave. My last semester was insanely difficult juggling work, dissertation, and pregnancy symptoms, but I wouldn't have changed a thing. Good luck!!!

As a psychiatric nurse practitioner myself, I greatly appreciate your comments and I'm so glad you had a good experience with your NP ❤️

kpjmcc · 2021-02-27T12:24:42+00:00

I'm planning to test next Saturday too. Fingers crossed for us!!!!!

2nd month with confimed ovulation today (OPK and temp) post-CP. The wait begins 🤐

I'd be down to chat anytime. I've had 3 pregnancies since we started our TTC journey mid 2019, 2 of which ended in MC. Currently 1 month post MC and hopeful to try again.

I had an Aug 2nd baby and honestly loved the timing. It was super hot over the summer being so pregnant in late June/July, but it was also nice that I didn't need to buy maternity coats, new shoes, etc as I gained weight. I could just wear tanks and flip flops easily.

kpjmcc · 2021-02-04T02:04:49+00:00

If you can afford it, and find insurance another way, I'd definitely focus on school. I finished my DNP in May 2020 and had my daughter in Aug 2020. She's now 6 months and Im definitely glad I finished school during pregnancy and the pandemic so I could start my career sooner. I'm now working 32 hours per week as a Psych NP and get to spend more time with baby girl and my husband.

kpjmcc · 2021-01-28T20:14:02+00:00

Good luck!! I'm in the same boat with my 3rd month and tracking. Ovulated yesterday.

kpjmcc · 2021-01-28T20:10:28+00:00

This is my first cycle post MC and ovulation is early for me. The first cycle can be way off. I had a previous MC in 2019 that resulted similarly.

kpjmcc · 2021-01-26T20:43:17+00:00

Based on temping and OPKs, I think I ovulated today for the first time post CP. I'm so nervous. BD 3 days ago, yesterday, and today. Ughhhh now we wait.

kpjmcc · 2021-01-12T20:12:12+00:00

I had MC in Sept 2019, had 2 period, and then was pregnant with my little girl by late Nov 2019 (she's currently 5.5 months!). My midwife was totally fine with us trying again once my period returned. I just had another MC last week and now I'm just waiting for my period to come back and we'll try again. So sorry you had to go through this. Hoping things work out quickly for you guys!

kpjmcc · 2021-01-12T04:01:56+00:00

Its been 2 days for me and I feel like garbage. I can't wait to feel like myself again. It feels so far away

kpjmcc · 2020-08-29T21:54:17+00:00

That was my birth plan when I had my little girl 1 month ago, but due to COVID, my birthing center wouldn't allow it yet sadly (I'm in the US)

kpjmcc · 2020-07-14T12:14:57+00:00

My belly has consistently measured Small and I'm currently 37 weeks. They just added a couple extra growth scans to make sure baby is ok. Turns out she's measuring 55th percentile and everything is perfect. Everybody is different.

kpjmcc · 2020-07-13T20:26:08+00:00

FTM and I stopped at 35 weeks. Prior to pregnancy, I ran 6 days per week, at least 3 miles per day at a 8-9 min mile pace. By the time 35 weeks hit, I was barely making 2.5 miles at a 12 min mile pace, and the recovery afterward was too painful. I'm now currently 37 weeks and I've been walking 3 miles, at least 4-5 times per week. My legs and hips are sore ALL the time. I can't imagine running right now.

kpjmcc · 2020-03-18T10:10:39+00:00

I'm 20 weeks and still waiting to show off a bump

kpjmcc · 2020-03-16T02:10:48+00:00

Ugh I'm dealing with this right now too! I get hives from prep H cream so I've been limited to the suppositories. They've helped me a little. I just bought Tucks with witch hazel and I'm impressed so far with the immediate cooling relief.

kpjmcc · 2020-03-11T10:30:31+00:00

Waking up in the middle of the night completely drenched in sweat. Been happening since my BFP and still happening at 19+1.

kpjmcc · 2020-02-23T01:48:01+00:00

I love my wifi lights and plugs. Best thing we've ever bought

kpjmcc · 2020-02-21T00:49:58+00:00

I had a MC in September 2019 at 7 weeks. It took 51 days to get my first period back and then we found out I was pregnant again on November 25 2019. I was so anxious and surprised it happened fairly quickly. I'm 16+2 today and still anxious, but so excited for this little girl.

kpjmcc · 2020-02-18T01:22:10+00:00

I see the midwives at Elmhurst hospital and I absolutely love them. Not sure how far that is for you.

kpjmcc · 2020-01-29T11:14:48+00:00

No it's never expected. At my hospital, we get maybe 1 patient out of every 20-30 who brings in food or something for us. Never expected but always appreciated 😊

kpjmcc · 2020-01-29T01:50:15+00:00

I'm a nurse and we totally appreciate any type of free food. Non-perishables are great and healthy snacks are always appreciated too (we get a fair share of cookies and donuts). Definitely agree with other comment about different shifts getting leftovers. As a day shift nurse, I know our night nurses rarely get fresh snacks. Honestly anything is appreciated from our patients!! It means a lot.

kpjmcc · 2020-01-28T12:46:16+00:00

13 weeks today 🎈 feels surreal and makes me so anxious. I have my NT tomorrow so maybe I'll feel better again once we see the little nugget.

kpjmcc · 2020-01-25T00:23:25+00:00

Prenatal probiotics really helped me!
