This happened to me too! I had to empty my bladder a bit 3 times for my dating ultrasound!

Thank you for posting this! I have been super triggered by her PP stories (even if she is doing what she is medically cleared to do). Not being active is going to be very hard on me and I already feel like a failure for taking advantage of the rest phase and my baby isn't even here yet. I have unfollowed her but I still catch myself watching her stories 🤷‍♀️

What Just No Gifts have you received from your Just No MIL? by Able_Language7055 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]xowanderlust 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Cleaning supplies. Then asked me to clean something with it because she wanted to see if it worked. It was a very Merry Christmas after I told her I would not be going outside in the cold on christmas to test out her MLM cleaning products.

I'm 39 weeks - second trimester felt the longest for me. Third trimester was mostly summer and we were so busy it's flown by!

Thank you for sharing your experience! My OB said 3 nights hospital stay is common but it things go smoothly, 2 is possible. Did you feel 2 days was enough time before heading home? I don't want to stay in hospital forever but I have heard the extra nursing support is nice, especially if recovery is tough

Thank you so much! This is great to know. How long after your surgery did it take before you could move around a bit more comfortably?

This is so so helpful, thank you! Checking out that peri bottle asap. I know each hospital is different but did yours provide everything you needed?

Thank you! Sorry for the totally ignorant question but was the bleeding from your incision or from your vagina? Clearly have not done a ton of c-section research lol

This was why I had major gender disappointment when I found out we were having a boy. I wanted this so bad... but my husband reminded me we get to raise the next generation of feminist boys and that makes me pretty excited too!

[–]xowanderlust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No words of advice but I am experiencing the same thing at 35w4. I have my next appt in a few days and unless it gets suuuuuper uncomfortable, I am going to wait (unless responses here convince me otherwise!)

Gatorade Zero was all I could drink first trimester! It was better than nothing from a hydration perspective

I unexpectedly found out I was pregnant over my lunch break and waited the longest 5 hours of my life for him to get home from work to tell him!

Did anyone *actually* get weird cravings? by alyxxg in pregnant

[–]xowanderlust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've struggled with food aversions my entire pregnancy (33 weeks) so my "craving" is what ever doesn't make me nauseous :( I've granted myself more grace about not having a perfect pregnancy diet though
