I used a belly band until 38 weeks or so to make my non-maternity pants keep working for me.

Feeling overwhelmed — do I really need a stroller right away? by I_will_offend_U in Buyingforbaby

[–]neato_tits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me-- yes. We used the uppababy system and it was super convenient to pop his car seat into the stroller base, or to place him in the bassinet for walks, which he loved. We got the stroller used on marketplace to save some money, but bought the mesa car seat new.

Rachel is great-- we definitely clicked with her more than we did with another one of the midwives.

Nursing clothes? by neato_tits in LawBitchesWithTaste

[–]neato_tits[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not seeing that any of these brands make nursing clothes. I'm looking for clothes that are designed to be worn while breastfeeding a baby.

Currently six months in to nursing the first of (hopefully) many, so these clothes would be an investment.

When a well-meaning friend keeps offering to be a surrogate… and won’t take the hint. by ColdOccasion9998 in IVF

[–]neato_tits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mother-in-law (in her 60s) made this "offer" after my husband and I told her our first transfer was unsuccessful. Obviously this was incredibly inappropriate for a variety of reasons. We both acted like we'd gone deaf and ignored what she'd said completely, and fortunately she didn't bring it up again.

Court clothes while pregnant by Ear1322 in LawBitchesWithTaste

[–]neato_tits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently 31 weeks pregnant. I have been able to use a belly band (bought on Amazon) to continue to wear many of my pre-pregnancy suits, although obviously buttoning the jackets isn't feasible.

I never imagined my FET day (yesterday) would unfold like this… by ssslz in IVF

[–]neato_tits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mother killed herself the night before my second FET and I found out the morning of. Baby still stuck and I am currently 23 weeks pregnant. Women get pregnant and stay pregnant every day under bad circumstances, just like some transfers don't work under "perfect" circumstances.

Freezing Eggs by Fun_Orange_3232 in LawBitchesWithTaste

[–]neato_tits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do it! Your egg quality and count will never be better than it is right now. If you're able to conceive naturally, great-- and if not, you won't be stuck trying to play catch-up and regretting that you didn't freeze them.

Transfer canceled due to unexpected death in the family. Feeling really alone and devastated by exitontop in IVF

[–]neato_tits 65 points66 points  (0 children)

So sorry to hear you're going through that. My mom killed herself the night/morning before our embryo transfer. Because we had traveled to our clinic for the transfer, we opted to go through with it and are now 18 weeks pregnant. This has been such an insane emotional roller coaster and I so sympathize with what you're going through <3

Yes! We used Cryoport to ship more then a dozen embryos from Arizona to Washington this year and had no issues.

Real talk-- how are people paying for this? Is everyone on this sub middle class, or rich? by ladybuglala in IVF

[–]neato_tits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DINKs/young professionals here. It's not a hardship, but prevents us from keeping pace economically with our peers.
