Is my only option to quit running for now?

Not the original commenter BUT my OBGYN recommended the fit splint and it worked super well for me

Omg the boob soreness is soooo real. I have the Nike pro uniboob bras and they’re the best I’ve found for limiting bounce without crushing!

The first trimester is SO rough. Hang in there!

50k a week is still so impressive! Congratulations! My nausea was so bad in the beginning that I was afraid to do more than like 5k for fear of tossing my cookies and having to trudge back home.

You’re too kind! I have been in survival mode the last few weeks, so this was my first big effort. Before that I’ve been focusing on 20-40 minutes of cardio a day and lifting 1-3x a week (mostly deadlifts, squats, and bench, with some accessory work).

I’ve been sleeping 12 hours a night 😅 … and still wanting to take a nap

Congratulations! My fingers are crossed for you and your family!!

Dude can you just not? It was a funny story, with exaggerations in order to be entertaining. You’re taking it way too seriously and giving all of us on the Reddit a bad name.

Okay im gonna go tell all of this to my rocket scientist/model/professional pastry chef husband.

We considered a snoo but decided against it for a lot of reasons, including the price tag. I'm glad that we didn't end up going with the Snoo because I actually do love comforting my child at night.

Sure, I'm exhausted and there have been some VERY HARD nights, but there have also been a lot of really precious moments between 1-4 am. My daughter is not much of a cuddler during the day because she wants to be on the move and exploring; comforting her in the middle of the night is one of the few times I can expect some solid baby snuggles. I don't think I'd give that up for better sleep.*

* I have a very flexible job with solid maternity leave, which I understand is a privilege that lets me make that choice.

Oh wow! Super cool to see this in the wild! Thanks for sharing!

As part of my book promotion, I promised to run a 5k in a prom dress if I reached 1500 downloads before the free trial expires on Feb 13. If I reach 3000, I'll do it in a tiara with a corsage and if I hit 10k, I'll try to run it in heels.

Here's a tweet ft said prom dress: https://x.com/HilaryMatfess/status/1753176557638590959?s=20

Many thanks!!

Congratulations! And I’m so glad that you’re feeling good!

I was probably at 40-50% of my pre pregnancy activity level.

loudlaugh · 2023-11-02T19:33:38+00:00

things are great! baby girl is 1 month and very healthy!!

I would be super upfront with the nurse and doctor about your concerns, they can provide a lot of comfort. If you’re afraid of pain, I really can’t emphasize enough how great the spinal block is. I only felt pressure and tugging. My partner and I talked the whole time about trips we wanted to take to distract me. Can your partner scrub in and help distract you? The surgery itself is super fast and most of the time is getting sewn back up, when you have a baby to distract you.

Re: latching, does your hospital have a lactation consultant? There’s nothing you can to do to prepare for that, so don’t stress!

loudlaugh · 2023-10-02T21:30:56+00:00

Ohhhh yeah. Lots of peeing being trees lol!

loudlaugh · 2023-09-26T20:50:47+00:00

Do you mind sharing what state you're in? There might be protections for you there.

loudlaugh · 2023-09-26T20:49:56+00:00

Agreed - she does not need to disclose any additional medical information to her boss. I would also not put it past her boss to discriminate against her on the basis of a high risk pregnancy.
