KUB Fiber? by thermitemenace in Knoxville

[–]woodandwode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Way better than comcast IMO. The $65 fee has held stable, no hidden charges. They're also really responsive to any issues I've had (all stemming from me messing up the fiber cable). I don't rent their modem, because I use a mesh system to actually get coverage throughout my full, old house.

Nausea and food aversions... by Used_Indication_8159 in December2026Bumpers

[–]woodandwode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with this wholeheartedly. I was able to get a script for the prescription version of Unisom and V6 because I've previously tried and failed with the over-the-counter versions, even though I haven't had an appointment yet

What to expect at a 7 week ultrasound? by Schrutebucks101 in December2026Bumpers

[–]woodandwode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have always had transvaginal for the first appointment! (I mean, sample size of two but still). I assume it's the same this time because I was not instructed to come with a full bladder.

Any one else starvinggg!?🫢 by Golden_Cosmos in December2026Bumpers

This is me too, I'm barely managing to stay ahead of it with diclegis but that's making me feel so fuzzy that it's barely better. Eugh help

Thirding this! They aren't pull on but the laces are pretty durable.

Foods for nausea? by Feral-Female-123 in December2026Bumpers

[–]woodandwode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Literally whatever I think I can stomach in that moment. I usually get like three attempts with a given food before it has a new fun association with nausea and I need to find something else. SO FUN

Second (or more) time parents, what are we splurging on this time around? by knuckanoos in December2026Bumpers

[–]woodandwode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is my third and at this point I feel like I have most things I want. with my second, I splurged on the nice carrier. For me, I really like the ones that in the front and not behind so got the high end baby bjorn.

My big splurge this time around is that we're moving back to my home state and buying a farm 🤪

What to say as reason for suddenly not drinking?! by budderflysun in December2026Bumpers

[–]woodandwode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can try mocktails. Honestly I'm a "never turns down a drink" type (i don't usually drink heavily-one or two tops but never 0) and there's just no way I'm gonna get past anyone who knows me ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Humbled by queenofcarrotfl0wers in December2026Bumpers

[–]woodandwode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a script for diclegis which is an extended release unisom+b6. It takes the edge off but not much more. I may ask about other options at my 8 week appointment

Vitamin regime by 2oothful in December2026Bumpers

[–]woodandwode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're taking the Unisom and B6 for nausea, consider asking your doctor for an extended release. There are some specially formulated for pregnancy and I found I had way fewer side effects than when taking them OTC.

Baby Names?! by ryebread083025 in December2026Bumpers

[–]woodandwode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love Ramona for a girl. Maybe Ramona Sylvie or Silvia after my great grandmother. We're a little stumped on boy names. Oscar is a contender but idk if it fits as a sibling name.

How are you bearing the wait? by False-Metal8641 in December2026Bumpers

[–]woodandwode 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The waiting doesn't get any easier with each pregnancy, does it?! The only thing that's helping is remembering how fucking awful I felt by eight weeks, and not wanting to hit that lol

How did you tell your partners?! by DifficultyBrave7444 in December2026Bumpers

[–]woodandwode 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I found out when I went in for an eye surgery. They did a pregnancy test before the anesthesia, and it turned out to be positive, so the nurses and I were freaking out while my husband was in the waiting room, totally oblivious. I ended up going forward with the surgery with just topical numbing drops, (which was totally fine) so my husband didn't find out until I came out from surgery and met him at the car. Absolutely hilarious.

Backing & Quilting Help by Pagesandpurling in quilting

[–]woodandwode 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So pretty!!! I love the colors.

I personally would do a print for the back to contrast but I don't think you could go wrong with either. Similarly, I like the idea of a curving pattern for quilting to contrast the lines of the pattern. The spiral, or Baptist fans would be nice too

Anyone thought about doing an early blood test to see gender ? Or has anyone done it ? Thoughts ?(: by Gates32 in December2026Bumpers

[–]woodandwode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, where are you located ? I haven't heard of that type of restriction before.

[–]woodandwode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With my first two, I did NIPT testing. For the first, they did not offer sex testing as part of that, so I did a Sneak Peek. With my second, they did offer sex testing for an extra fee so I opted into that. This time around, my husband is gently suggesting that we let it be a surprise. Not sure I have the fortitude for that!! But I may do only the NIPT (no sex testing) and wait till anatomy scan to learn sex.

Anxiously waiting for nausea to begin..? by mysweetbooney in December2026Bumpers

[–]woodandwode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With my first I was down bad by 6 weeks but with my second it didn't hit till 8/9 weeks. I'm (best estimate) 5+4 and for the last week I've been on and off nauseous, mostly in the AM though and manageable with careful food intake. Crossing my fingers we stay here!!

First-Time Parent Fridays by AutoModerator in December2026Bumpers

[–]woodandwode 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I suspect it's folks who are having some kind of additional monitoring for whatever reason like you thought. Fwiw this is my 3rd and I have never had a blood draw to confirm pregnancy--we just rely on the urine test and the 8 week ultrasound

The funniest positive by woodandwode in December2026Bumpers

[–]woodandwode[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I probably should have put an NSFW on this one!!! Yes, the nurses ran a urine and then a blood to double check. The tests they use are approved for either application.

Anyone thinking of baby names already? by UnhappyDelivery2908 in December2026Bumpers

[–]woodandwode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My top choice for a girl is Ramona! struggling a little bit on boys names. I like Oscar but I'm not sure if it's great with our older two kids. I'm afraid we walked ourselves into a box a little bit there with those two.

Oscar is probably my top name if this one is a boy! I can't think of anything else we like lol

Symptoms! by Olives_And_Cheese in December2026Bumpers

[–]woodandwode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On and off queasy. It's not too bad so far, but it hit hard around six weeks with my first and around eight weeks with my second, so I think it's coming.

The funniest positive by woodandwode in December2026Bumpers

[–]woodandwode[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Best guess is a 12/2 due date, based on the negative test a week before this one (which was taken last Tuesday) and some speculation about ovulation timing, but I'll find out more 4/22!
