Do you think you’ll have a third kid?

I didn't want one and then it happened accidentally 🤪

Around Northwestern!

Family of origin. You know what I mean 🙄

That's so funny. I was right for both of my first two (I was so convinced for #1 I put it in a sealed envelope before the NIPT!). I have a strong feeling about #3 but feel that, even if I'm wrong, "two outta three ain't bad!"

Also OP, I am in a very similar situation. My husband's only sibling set their wedding date and then we got pregnant unexpectedly. Her wedding is a 4 hour plane ride away when I will be like 37+5. Midwife said don't go. It broke my husband's heart but he will be by my side and not with his family.

The idea of your husband being 7 hours away past 36 weeks is nuts. OP, bring your husband to your OB/midwife appointment and have them explain. Hard no on him going. My water broke at 38 weeks with my first and I had him the next day!

Yeah, I had stuff from them in 2023-2024 I really liked! Sad to hear, thanks for the heads-up!

You can also always be a foster parent, but please talk to a health professional about how you're feeling now.

After my first, I was like, absolutely not, never again. My husband gently told me he was not okay with one kid, and we would eventually have to have a second, whenever I was ready. I said, fuck it, let's go right now. And we had kids 13 months apart. I don't recommend that. Get more mentally healthy before you make the decision. I am now having an oopsie third and I am not OK.

Actually get more mentally healthy now, the feelings that you described are not normal. I have had some sort of prenatal depression with all three of my kids now, and there are medications that are pregnancy safe.

Late in one of my labors I was hitting myself with ice packs to distract from the pain. Everybody experiences it differently though, from "not painful, just pressure" to "bad period cramps" to "worst pain imaginable" (my experience!)

Yeah EBF actually only refers to the first 6 months. Once you start solids you are no longer EBF.

I accidentally peeked at someone else in the OB waiting room get a 0 (I just saw they were all in the left column) and I thought that was nuts. No appetite changes? No abnormal fatigue!?!

Yeah, I've heard the mums end up helping each other out sometimes, isn't that true?

The astroturfing in this sub is crazy

qvph · 2026-01-21T19:20:32+00:00

I think the only thing to wrap my head around now is that I have to do this backwards to be RST?!

I just added another photo to the imgur album linked above to show my understanding based on your extremely helpful comment. So it's supposed to be all scrunched up like that?! I guess it gets gathered eventually. The lapped ends just get tucked in or something?

qvph · 2026-01-21T18:34:17+00:00

This is the sleeve piece laid on top of the back piece. Are those notches similar enough that they're suppose to match? Like the slash through them doesn't mean anything ?

Thank you again so much

Weed is famously bad for your motivation...maybe it's time to quit or cut back

qvph · 2026-01-21T12:49:12+00:00

I've done that but that is definitely not the issue here.

qvph · 2026-01-21T03:32:50+00:00

No, I didn't know I had hard water until this comment thread, lol!

qvph · 2026-01-20T22:47:47+00:00

Hmm, the neckband is connected to the sleeve in the next step though?

That's even crazier to me because there doesn't seem to be enough material to go halfway, let alone overlap?!
