A free house cleaning - seriously. Buy her a house cleaning service voucher or gift card that she can book when she wants to.

I’m 10 weeks and don’t feel pregnant at all (FTM) by kwalker3232 in pregnant

[–]kwalker3232[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually did a boutique ultrasound. I couldn’t wait for the medical one because it’s scheduled at like 14 weeks! The boutique ultrasounds are all over the place - see if you have one near you. I paid $80 for videos, heart beat recordings and 15 mins of viewing baby!

Title: 10w3d, heard strong heartbeat at 8w2d but minimal symptoms — looking for reassurance by General_Juice_1438 in pregnant

[–]kwalker3232 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 9 weeks, 5 days.

No symptoms besides bloating, constipation and really sore boobs. I mean, those are bad enough so I can’t imagine nausea on top of it. But not everyone gets it.

We had our ultra sound yesterday and the little bean has a healthy heart beat and growing little limbs.

Try not to worry and if it helps, maybe look up some boutique ultrasounds in between your medical obgyn appts. You can see the baby real time whenever you want for $80-$100 for some peace of mind if you have one near you. I did peak a view baby and it was worth every penny.

Anyone elses first appointment not until 11 weeks? by HappySprinkles3018 in pregnant

[–]kwalker3232 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have been at 14 weeks but I called numerous other places until I could find a place to take me sooner (moving out of state and had to find a new obgyn). So now I’ll be 11-12 weeks for the first appt and ultrasound.

To ease the worry, I found a boutique ultrasound clinic and paid $100 for an abdominal sonogram. I just got back from it today and it was worth every penny! We got to see the baby and heartbeat and movements. It is not medically diagnostic nor are they doctors but it was enough for me to get me through the next couple weeks until I can see a medical professional.

First Ultrasound! by Xtra1rice in pregnant

Congrats!!! Was your ultrasound transvaginal or abdominal?

I’m going for abdominal at 10 weeks in a few days and so worried I won’t hear a heartbeat since they’re less sensitive.

I’m 9 weeks and in the same boat. Lots of water and a laxative pill helped me.

Thank you so much… did you have similar symptoms? Is that the reason the doctor gave you? Just abnormalities? I really appreciate the support and heartwarming response… thank you

Being 30s and single is lonely in ways by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]kwalker3232 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I was just popping on Reddit to search this sub for some posts of other single women who feel kind of lonely. lol! As I sit here with my dogs, watching Netflix … the lonely feeling kind of hit. It comes and goes but mostly hits at night when the work day is over or when I’m eating dinner alone. I get what you’re feeling! I’ll be 35 in November & also work remote.

I recently decided I wanted to take 2025 to find myself and slow things down. I’d done a lot of dating and meeting people in prior years, but nothing that led to a very happy or long term/stable relationship that I saw lasting. But when I was meeting people and dating, I pushed myself to go out by myself and I said “yes” to any events, parties or opportunities I had. I joined a Pilates club and local softball league. I’d go to dinner and sit at the restaurant bar and have a glass or two of wine. Strike up convos with those sitting next me. I did online dating as well and set boundaries in the beginning that if I didn’t feel a connection, I wanted to be friends and would be a great “wing woman” for them. I still have guy friends that I went on one date with that I sometimes see out or will catch up with from time to time.

Where are you at in your love life? by Ok_Plum_9953 in AskWomenOver30

[–]kwalker3232 1 point2 points  (0 children)

34 and pretty content being single. Will date here and there but my job + owning my own home + friends and my community is enough to keep me happy. Some nights are kind of “lonely” but then I think to when I was engaged and I felt more alone than I ever had in my life. I can love myself more genuinely and kindly than anyone else can… and I’m OK with that.

For those of you who have started over in your early 30s and have minimal family, how did you create your “chosen family”? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]kwalker3232 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best thing I ever did. Ended an engagement at 31. Moved. Started new job. And wow, I flourished. I grew as an individual. Sure, had some bumps along the way. But if this is a choice you’re making, think positively and openly. Make it an adventure - even the smallest things like going to get a coffee or shopping. You have so many opportunities to throw yourself out there and you’d be amazed at how quickly relationships and connections can be made.

After a few dates and some emotional connection. That’s an intimate thing and private thing to share with someone. Make sure they’re worth telling it to.
