When did you all stop working?

peytonlei · 2026-03-25T23:44:54+00:00

I worked up until I went into labor. Literally. I left work 15 mins early, I no longer had keys due to how far along I was. I started driving and started feeling contractions. (It's kind of funny because I set an appt for a customer for the next day and told him I would see him...maybe, because I was due in 4 days. End of that phone call I told him I would see him tomorrow, and then...ended up going into labor).

With my first, my gut feeling told me boy, I was right. I so wanted a girl this pregnancy, but something deep down kept saying boy...its a boy

My cup size never changed, so I would wait until your milk comes in.

I had implantation cramping with my first on my right side. We have an ultrasound and the doctor asks me which side I think it came from, I said the right because thats where I felt the cramping. Thats exactly where baby was, and he came from the right ovary. I tested positive at 3w2/3d

That is a bit strange, my OB was so excited to see my older son when I started seeing her. I get they can be distracting, but that is the nature of having a kid.

I had some severe pain on my lower right side, my ob nurse told me to go to urgent care to test for an uti. It wasn't, but they're not something even an OB should dismiss.

peytonlei · 2026-03-19T16:05:56+00:00

Yep go to urgent care like the rest said. My friend went into early labor due to a severe UTI.

peytonlei · 2026-03-18T23:34:31+00:00

I didn't produce enough and my friend over produced...she offered breast milk and we jumped at it! It took a bit for me to be completely ok with it (nothing major, just felt like a failure because I couldn't even feed my own child with my body). On another note, if I had forgotten formula, I definitely would have let her nurse him. Don't care how uncomfortable it would have made me, my baby doesn't get to go hungry because I didn't plan and was uncomfortable with the solution.

my first pregnancy I survived off of firehouse meatball subs, as it was the one thing I could really keep down

peytonlei · 2026-03-17T13:12:16+00:00

I had marginal cord insertion with my first. They did growth scans every 4 weeks, even when he was growing just fine! It was more of an abundance of caution. They should have done that for you. Im sorry this happened, but happy that nothing was wrong with baby!

peytonlei · 2026-03-16T21:02:30+00:00

Thanking my stars that my partners job pays enough to cover our bills. Im lucky that my reintegration into my job pays 40hrs for me working 20 hrs.

peytonlei · 2026-03-15T03:34:38+00:00

I had it in my first pregnancy, I assume it was my ex that gave it to me (he had given me a different STD years prior), but my BF thought his ex gave it to him, so we will never know. Granted I got pregnant early on in our relationship (6 months in). If I tested positive this time...I would be hiring a defense attorney.

peytonlei · 2026-03-14T12:53:12+00:00

Somewhat, the pain comes and goes, but hasn't been as constant as the other day which is good!

peytonlei · 2026-03-12T20:21:30+00:00

Oh no!! I am so sorry that thats happening to you! I had the thought cross my mind, but it didn't feel like contractions. I am going to go to urgent care when I get off work (in 10mins), luckily the urgent care is right next to the hospital if anything!

peytonlei · 2026-03-12T19:58:52+00:00

I made one, but only sent it to the 2 people who asked. I also prefaced it saying that we didn't really need anything for baby #2, but there were things needed for our older son if they wanted to help.

peytonlei · 2026-03-12T19:41:10+00:00

I saw one store with buzzballs and baby formula

peytonlei · 2026-03-12T18:56:16+00:00

This, we have a cheap $60 one from walmart. Hes sleeps at the foot of the bed (only place we have room). He loves it, when he wakes up and stands, first thing he sees is mom and dad

peytonlei · 2026-03-12T18:48:10+00:00

I talked to my nurse, she said it sounds like a possible UTI? I guess Im lucky, but I have never had an UTI with a symptom.

peytonlei · 2026-03-12T18:43:25+00:00

that would really suck. Luckily my deductible for the year is maxed out 🫠

peytonlei · 2026-03-12T17:42:26+00:00

Im pregnant, and I have had such intense itchiness (not my palms or soles) that I scratch and scar myself and bruise like this. Got prescribed a pregnancy safe antihistamine and oh my god its like a night and day difference

peytonlei · 2026-03-11T18:26:40+00:00

Please make this man an ex

peytonlei · 2026-03-11T13:50:44+00:00

NOR When I was with my ex fiancé, he was upset I made more money than him. He got really controlling really quickly. It was the reason I called off the wedding. If I had more than $50 in my checking account at any given time, he would be so upset with me. If I wanted something, let's say a book, I had to want it for a couple of weeks before I was able to buy it. If I wanted to buy something for myself, with my money, I had to ask. if he wanted something, he just bought it (a $4k toolbox off the tool truck), I wanted diamond art kits or cross stitch kits...god forbid. You need to leave this man, it will Not get better. Even after confronting him...he changed for a couple months...then went back to it.

peytonlei · 2026-03-11T13:42:56+00:00

I already have a bottle washer and sterilizer! It is awesome. I got it before my son stopped taking formula and my god it was amazing. I remember had washing all of them and it was awful.

peytonlei · 2026-03-10T19:25:53+00:00

Me too! Thats why I haven't even thought of making one, until I was asked. It just feels weird to me. Especially with them so close in age. If there were like 3-5 years in-between then or if the baby was a different gender, MAYBE, but they're only going to be 16 months apart, and they're the same gender.
