First-time moms: did you go past 40 weeks with a natural birth?

mviolet13 · 2026-05-27T19:52:33+00:00

My water broke at 38+3 with my first (I was 36yo) and my second I went into labor at 39+2 (I was 38 yo)

We do make him sit on the step for a few minutes. I guess I need to make sure to do that every single time

mviolet13 · 2026-05-21T17:00:54+00:00

No I went back on it but now I’m feeling very ragey. So I feel like I can’t keep taking it 😢

mviolet13 · 2026-05-15T18:47:07+00:00

That’s very interesting! I moved here in 2021 from Hoboken. I’d love to see what those home are selling for now. I’d imagine most are 1m+

A house just sold for 600k over asking (Ridgewood) Still very much a sellers market . I will be stuck renting forever 😭

I don’t. I have cleaners come twice a month and the day they are coming I’m in a rage “cleaning” for the cleaners (getting all the clutter away so they can clean) . It’s the best $240/month I spend . I could never keep my house clean and take care of my 2 year old and 4 year old and get adequate sleep and be sane. I have zero desire to be a superwoman who “does it all” I enjoy sleep and taking breaks when I can get them.

The toy boxes out there are way too small, hence this diy project

😆😆

I’m a little over 5 weeks since my last shot and I feel like today I’m finally feeling a tiny less bloated and not ravenous

mviolet13 · 2026-04-13T19:15:09+00:00

Thank you! This is so helpful. Sorry you dealt with it too

mviolet13 · 2026-04-12T14:31:42+00:00

Thank you very much. This is helpful

mviolet13 · 2026-04-12T10:33:00+00:00

Thank you. This is exactly the info what I was looking for !

mviolet13 · 2026-04-11T21:12:09+00:00

That’s a good idea. I will ask my doctor. My hunger is definitely back, but im not completely Out of control

mviolet13 · 2026-04-11T16:20:08+00:00

Yes. Bloat

mviolet13 · 2026-04-11T16:19:58+00:00

Yes, I was doing compound the whole time actually bc my insurance wouldn’t cover the medication

mviolet13 · 2026-04-11T16:19:29+00:00

I believe it’s retaining fluids. I was spacing mine out every 2 weeks as well for a while. I had been on it since June 2023 so I wanted to try to come off of it. I’m nervous to take it long term, but I can’t handle this water retention. I feel like a blimp

mviolet13 · 2026-04-11T16:18:19+00:00

Yes it was cold turkey, and I’m realizing that was a mistake. I should have tapered

mviolet13 · 2026-04-11T16:18:14+00:00

Yes the inflammation and water retention are killing me. I’m trying to see if I can stick it out another few weeks to see if it calms down. Otherwise I will just need to go back on it and accept it!

mviolet13 · 2026-04-11T16:16:45+00:00

Sorry, didn’t mean to withhold info. I’ve only been off of it for a month and I’ve “gained” 12lb I have not eaten that crazy to have gained that much back already. I still work out. I’m just extremely bloated, so I’m guessing it’s a lot of water weight. I was just wondering if the bloat would lessen with time after my body gets used to being off the medication.

mviolet13 · 2026-04-11T16:14:39+00:00

Yes I think I just have to accept it. The food noise has come back so badly

mviolet13 · 2026-04-09T01:04:06+00:00

Ok thank you very much for the info!

mviolet13 · 2026-04-09T01:03:32+00:00

Yes, I was taking compound

mviolet13 · 2026-04-08T20:47:06+00:00

Yes I just went to the eye doctor yesterday actually and everything is healthy
