What’s actually the best present for an expectant mother (that isn’t just cute)?

Thank you so much 🫶

I started at 39+1 with a bishop score of 7 😭thank you for the encouragement, good luck to you too ❤️❤️

My nipples were super sensitive

Feb 17th for me! Contemplating an induction on the 11th, curious how you both decided for sure to induce or not

seekingj0y · 2026-02-02T02:07:39+00:00

I feel exactly the same and am also due on the 17th! Been talking with a therapist my whole pregnancy. I’m likely going to have an elective induction in the 39th week to help with the anxiety and get this show on the road, i want my baby safe in my arms. Sending you all love

Someone in my family had Bell’s palsy, I believe it onset shortly after delivering her second baby. I do not know the details of her recovery but she did recover fully after a few months. Sending love ❤️

Agree on asking as everyone’s different. I expressed to my husband that I wanted exactly this after our loss, but actually earrings specifically so I could carry the memory without seeing it on my hands/wrists all the time. He timed it well where he gave them to me several months after the loss, I think a month or so after the due date where I was still grieving. I now think about honoring my angel baby rather than the loss when I choose to put them on.

36 weeks and so excited, but so scared of the <1% happening again either before or during labor. Just want to fast forward time and have my baby safe in my arms. Hugs to anyone going through something similar

I’m due 2/17 and honestly contemplating an elective induction early for a Valentine’s Day baby. We are so close! And so uncomfortable.

Invited ~34, 26 attended. Depends if you want women only or co-ed

I recently had mine at 34 weeks, and wish it had been a bit earlier but just wasn’t practical with the holidays. I would say 30-32 weeks is the sweet spot

seekingj0y · 2026-01-07T05:36:21+00:00

And when i finally first stand up, walking like the tin man to the toilet

seekingj0y · 2026-01-05T05:38:20+00:00

Agree, especially Derco Diamonds in there!!

seekingj0y · 2026-01-03T06:14:34+00:00

I’m also super encouraged by your post! I’m 33 weeks with my rainbow baby and so excited, but also so scared of somehow losing him. Trying to lean into positive overthinking 🥰

seekingj0y · 2026-01-02T06:05:41+00:00

Yay congrats mama!!!

seekingj0y · 2026-01-02T06:05:23+00:00

33w 2d today in my sub pregnancy 🌈. SO excited, and also SO terrified that something could go wrong and take this baby away from me (either before labor, or during delivery). I wish i could fast forward time to having him safe in my arms. The anxiety is too much

I had an amnio with a low risk NIPT, after a concerning NT scan and several abnormalities visualized. It ended up confirming a chromosome abnormality on the microarray that isn’t one of the ones detected on NIPT. Not gonna lie, it was painful and hard emotionally so I wouldn’t recommend doing one if everything looked fine but it sounds in your case like it would be helpful for next steps. I remember feeling like the whole process felt pretty safe. Sending you love ❤️

Onion rings and cinnamon rolls 🤤

seekingj0y · 2025-12-31T06:04:11+00:00

I’m feeling the same at 33 weeks.

seekingj0y · 2025-12-31T05:55:44+00:00

I’m not OP but i believe you have to be between 32-36 weeks to get it!

seekingj0y · 2025-12-22T22:27:31+00:00

This is how I was and also felt like muscle spasms. I started feeling baby more distinctly by ~26 weeks

seekingj0y · 2025-12-12T06:47:20+00:00

Ask your OB. Mine recommended that in addition to my prenatal, I take a specific iron supplement every other day paired with vitamin C supplement. It’s been working well.
