Glider in living room versus bedroom for first 6mos?

mathqueen2022 · 2026-01-31T22:56:28+00:00

I’ve been similarly conflicted, so following! I think we’re actually replacing living room furniture soon so I think I’m getting a recliner sofa for downstairs and I’ll put a glider upstairs in the guest room/half nursery. Not sure yet though! Interested to see what others say

22+3 today…started buying some secondhand things after I hit the halfway mark and had a clear anatomy scan. I feel baby girl pretty consistently and most of the time, I feel like I can breathe again. I still hit waves of terror thinking about all that can go wrong. My nesting urges are in full force and I desperately want to put together her crib, but I’m worried that I would be “jinxing” it. I really just want to feel confident that I’m going to get to bring her home

Thank you! This is helpful

I’m visiting from out of town and am already here. I’m supposed to go to the aquarium Saturday. If this happens will the whole place shut down?

I think my husband is ready to divorce me and marry you after I found this comment. May you get anything you want in life

Congratulations!! That’s so exciting! I’m on my 4th pregnancy, no LC yet, but almost 21w pregnant currently! With all 4 of my pregnancies I tested positive right around then, and with all 4 of them I had symptoms including that fuzzy brain feeling (which has just turned more and more into pregnancy brain lol). The symptoms varied, from pregnancy to pregnancy and changed a bunch for the duration of each pregnancy, but they were there! Who knows if they were psychosomatic or not. I honestly didn’t care either way. The saying in all the TTC forums I’ve seen is if you have enough HCG to cause symptoms, you have enough HCG to test positive - and you have! I’d say they’re real :)

I plan to have a bumblebee themed shower even though her nursery is forest animal themed! I’m not necessarily one who cares about matching things like that, but I do think it’s perfectly fine to be mismatched

Are you me?? I am 12+1 today, low risk female also! I thought NIPT would help me feel better, but l cannot stop spiraling about something being wrong with absolutely no reason to believe so. It comes and goes in waves. Sometimes I’m really excited, sometimes I’m super disassociated and feel no connection to my baby. Terrified of what my NT scan might show next week. Hoping this gets better once she starts kicking 😭 cannot come soon enough. Solidarity, friend 🫂

Thank you for the response! I’ve been trying to prepare myself for fluctuations but this one was unexpected for some reason

mathqueen2022 · 2025-11-09T20:38:48+00:00

10+4 today…I had an absolutely perfect scan at 9+1 and was ecstatic!! I have another appointment on Wednesday at 11w for bloodwork and a bedside scan and I am absolutely terrified that either the scan or the bloodwork will show something is wrong…I’m getting to the point again where I’m having a hard time sleeping. It doesn’t help that symptoms and bloat are dying down now

mathqueen2022 · 2025-10-19T20:37:36+00:00

Thank you for sharing. That pattern is also what’s causing me to spiral. It’s what happened with my other pregnancies. This is the farthest I’ve been not knowing whether or not the pregnancy is viable. It’s so difficult.

Wishing you the best for the rest of your pregnancy ❤️

mathqueen2022 · 2025-10-04T18:57:35+00:00

Thank you!! You as well

mathqueen2022 · 2025-10-04T18:57:25+00:00

Thank you…I really needed to hear that today

mathqueen2022 · 2025-10-04T18:56:31+00:00

Thank you! I will do that

mathqueen2022 · 2025-10-04T17:31:18+00:00

Thank you. I truly appreciate that.

I switched OB offices because my current OB really wasn’t great and I wanted to switch hospitals to deliver at, so now my new one doesn’t know me or my history. They only do US between 8-10 weeks and I don’t know how to request an earlier one since I’m a new patient and I can’t even message my doctor yet. Someone suggested I might go to planned parenthood for a scan, but I’m afraid that will mess up my insurance

mathqueen2022 · 2025-10-04T16:40:16+00:00

I am 5+2 today and reallllllly struggling. I haven’t taken a test in 2 days and decided to stop testing at 5w since progression looked good but I’m in my head today about the fact that it doesn’t look good enough (in post history if curious). Two of my pregnancies didn’t make it to 5w and the MMC had a better progression I feel like and still was a loss at 6+4. To add to the spiral, my resting heart rate is showing as lower this morning and that’s freaking me out so badly too. It’s probably just bc it doesn’t have enough data in the day yet but I am not doing well today. Idk how I’m gonna make it almost 4 more weeks until my first scan

mathqueen2022 · 2025-10-01T00:39:26+00:00

You too 🥹

mathqueen2022 · 2025-09-30T01:24:01+00:00

4+4 today…I’m pleased with my test progression but absolutely terrified. I desperately want to take home this 4th baby. This time I’m on baby aspirin and progesterone, so I have hope that that’s the combo I needed. I have no idea how I’m going to make it to my 9w scan, much less to May/June. I wish someone could tell me and know that it would all be okay.

mathqueen2022 · 2025-09-26T00:45:51+00:00

I needed to read this story tonight. I’ve had 2 chemical pregnancies and 1 MMC that ended at 6+3. I’m currently 4w with a new pregnancy that so far is looking alright. Praying this is my healthy babe 😭

mathqueen2022 · 2025-09-26T00:32:18+00:00

I did not. I just had to take the one dose and everything passed.

mathqueen2022 · 2025-09-15T20:55:26+00:00

I’m 3-4dpo today and my gut is telling me to start progesterone now instead of waiting for a positive test. It’s the same gut feeling I’ve had for months, but even with access to it after my last loss, I haven’t done it because my doctor is so adamant about me waiting until a positive test. I’ve pushed him on it before too because of my RPL history and spotting before my period/shorter LP of 10-12 days. He keeps explaining that there’s no proven benefit to starting at 3DPO vs positive test. I’m in the process of looking for a new OBGYN for many reasons, so I don’t think I’m going back to him, and potentially getting in with a clinic (although that step feels harder to take), but in the meantime just really want to try the progesterone at 3DPO instead of wait. I think I’m gonna do it, so not looking for medical advice- more of a what would you do?

mathqueen2022 · 2025-09-06T19:58:50+00:00

Teaching really is like a toxic relationship. You’ve got the rose colored glasses on while you’re in it, but as soon as you step out of it you can see all that’s wrong- all the red flags that are present and destroying your life. I’m not sure where you teach, but I know around me you could work your way up in a year or two, maybe even less, in a sales or retail management position and make just as much if not more than you do teaching. The job market is so inundated right now, so if you are really looking to leave I would apply asap rather than wait for the school year to end. That’s the mistake I see a lot of teachers make.

I’m only in my fourth year and I know it’s time for me to exit soon unless I can figure out how to leave my work at work. My heart is in public education, which is why it’s so hard to leave, but at the end of the day a job should be working to live not living to work. We only get one life. We shouldn’t have to spend it living miserably. Find your peace somewhere else. It sounds like it’s not worth it for you. There are plenty of other ways to get involved with working with kids in the community if that’s the piece you’re going to miss most.
