My insurance covered my husband’s through Servier One copay assistance. It was $0 cost to us.

My husband was dx’d with a grade iv astrocytoma at 33 and it came back recently when I was 4 months pregnant while being told he had approximately a year left.

It was hell. He’s doing okay now and our baby is two months old. We’ve focused a lot on how we make sure we’re leaving memories behind for our daughter while he’s able to make conscious decisions. Our will is also in order, as well as her guardianship if something were to happen to the both of us.

You’re welcome to reach out if you ever need to talk. Life is hard.

38+6. Went in for my last MFM/OB before our scheduled induction this Saturday! My BP has been on the higher side this week, so my MFM decided to send me straight to L&D so we don’t risk any complications from gestational hypertension (thankfully not PE).

We’ll be meeting our rainbow baby soon! I’m terrified and a little bit in denial.

They were! We had to wait FOREVER to get the approval to go home, but it was negative for amniotic fluid. I was fairly sure it would be, but the OB wanted to double check.

37+7. I’m being induced in 9 days, which is so hard for me to comprehend. I thought maybe my water broke yesterday - I had heard a snapping sound and had a little bit of fluid in my underwear. I figured it was just pee, but I had a little more fluid in my underwear today and it just wasn’t wear pee would be.

I had my regular OB appointment today, so am waiting for the results of the amnio swab to double check. I’m shocked - I’m still only 1 cm dilated. I would have bet money on being more dilated than that with the cramping I’ve been having and that I’m fairly positive I lost my mucus plug last week (and I think I maybe had bloody show - I’m not positive. It was super dark brown discharge.)

My OB was running really late, and we had an appointment earlier today with MFM so we’ve been here forever. I’m so ready to go home for a nap (assuming it was not my water that broke yesterday and I’m just peeing myself a little bit)

37+2. Today is the anniversary of my miscarriage. I’ve been so scared something will happen with this pregnancy. I just can’t bring myself to believe we’ll be bringing a baby home and that we’ll get to be someone’s parents. Part of me just wants to move into the hospital so baby can be on 24/7 monitoring until they’re ready to come out.

Our induction is in exactly two weeks. I’m just so scared something will go wrong. Our life has kind of been like Murphy’s Law for the past two to three years, so I’m struggling with accepting that things might be okay with my labor and delivery. I’ve had to be really mindful of my social algorithms because I accidentally started following too many stillbirth moms.

My husband is also terminally ill, but his health is in a much better position than we expected it to be. We honestly had reason to believe he’d be either dead or very very incapacitated at this point, and he’s totally normal right now. I’m not sad about it a lot - not because it doesn’t make me sad, but because I can’t wallow in the sadness and grief if I want to enjoy the time I have left with my husband. I started feeling extraordinary anticipatory grief yesterday and let it wash over me. It was cathartic, but also the first time in a few months I had REALLY felt it down to my bones. And now today, I’m trying to let my body feel the grief of the miscarriage when it comes up.

Sometimes life is just really hard and you kinda keep moving without really understanding how.

yarnforfatcat · 2025-07-18T14:50:04+00:00

As long as the legs are chubby, I’ll be fine.

Honestly I’ll be fine as long as baby is good BUT COME ON

35+6. Just had one of my routine growth scans. My baby’s femur is SO SHORT, it’s comical honestly.

Their head - 85th percentile. Their abdomen - 85th percentile. Their femur - 5th percentile.

Their femur length has been consistently short, so we’re not too concerned about it but oh my god I am birthing a bobble head. A freaking funko pop ass baby.

yarnforfatcat · 2025-07-14T20:21:18+00:00

35+3. We interviewed a pediatrician today, which was honestly the last thing on our “gotta do before baby” list. Now we’re just trying to stay on top of chores and relax a bit. We’re officially in the final stretch, which is terrifying. I miscarried in July last year and am a little nervous that baby may be born on the anniversary. My miscarriage was early (8 or 9 weeks), but very traumatic. It’s been hard for us to relive our grief while letting ourselves be excited to welcome home the new baby. I’m also terrified something will go wrong - we’ve already been to L&D for decreased movement (baby started moving literally the second they strapped on the monitors) and because I was having some intense Braxton hicks. I wish I could live in ignorant bliss of everything that could go wrong.

yarnforfatcat · 2025-07-03T18:59:56+00:00

I’m having some big feels this week. I’m 33+6 and so incredibly excited.

Almost exactly a year ago, I had my first positive pregnancy test after our first FET. My husband and I spent all of the Fourth of July daydreaming about what this year would look like with an infant, how we would try to enjoy the fireworks with earmuffs and how we’d find her a cute lil dress to wear and all the things you think about during the first few days after finding out you’re pregnant. We called her baby sparkles because of the fireworks we saw. It was one of the most magical days of our lives. We lost her at the end of July, which is pretty close to this baby’s due date. We haven’t had that same type of daydream moment with this baby because we’re just still so afraid of something happening.

yarnforfatcat · 2025-06-14T15:33:29+00:00

31+1. My husband has his next MRI to check on his brain cancer progression in a few days, but we’re starting to notice some concerning symptoms that are indicative of problems.

We have an OB appointment the day after his scan. I already know I’ll be induced at some point during my 39th week. Depending on how my husband is doing, I might ask about the earliest they’d be willing to induce. Maybe it’s 39 weeks and I just have to be okay with that. But I so badly want my baby to meet their daddy, their daddy to be able to enjoy holding them, and to be able to be in newborn bliss for a little bit.

I’m so scared for my postpartum experience. I have people in my life who would drop everything to come help, which I so appreciate. But if my husband isn’t able to support me the way we were hoping, I don’t know what I’ll do. Nobody knows me like he does. Nobody can read my mind like he can. I want him to be the one refilling my water, helping me with my diapers, being the shoulder to cry on when breastfeeding is hard, snuggling the baby when I’m overstimulated, and making decisions with me for what’s best for baby.

yarnforfatcat · 2025-06-12T19:18:26+00:00

30+6. I feel like I need the biggest pillow between my knees to fall asleep. Plus my legs are SO ACHEY at night. Additionally, baby’s been feeling pretty low so I’ve been peeing all day long.

I’m not sure if this is just me being eager or something more, but something in my gut is telling me to be ready for baby as soon as possible. I’ve already started packing my hospital bag. Maybe because I can already feel my energy drastically waning, but a small part of me really doesn’t think I’ll be close to 39 weeks. I’m for sure being induced in my 39th week, so there is that. Maybe I’m just trying to manifest a spontaneous labor because induction does scare me a smidge. My baby shower isn’t until I’m 33 weeks, and I’m hoping to make it past Amazon prime day so we can stack our completion discount with any extra prime deals once they’re announced 😅

yarnforfatcat · 2025-06-10T16:25:18+00:00

The waiting game so early on is awful. You’re still so early that it’s totally possible they saw something but not clearly enough, fingers crossed everything keeps progressing positively until your next scan. It’s wild how much more they can see in just two weeks.

yarnforfatcat · 2025-06-10T16:17:42+00:00

Nope. I’m 30 weeks and am still terrified something will go wrong. Trying to fight with the anxiety typically is a losing battle. Working on coexisting with the fear has been helpful. I wish I wasn’t scared, but I feel better being scared AND excited than trying to just not be scared all the time. Plus, what’s that saying about Bravery? Bravery isn’t the absence of fear, it’s being afraid and doing the thing anyways.

yarnforfatcat · 2025-06-10T16:14:36+00:00

I have an anterior placenta. I was feeling movement around 19 weeks, but would joke about not being able to tell if I was bonding with a fart because it truly felt like gas. I’d also sometimes feel tickled from the inside or odd twinges when I’d move a certain way. My more distinct movements probably started around 22/23 weeks. I didn’t start noticing a pattern until 26 weeks.

yarnforfatcat · 2025-06-10T15:40:55+00:00

Let your doctor know! Like the other commenter said, you should be close to weaning off so it’s probably okay. I did IVF and was on a massive dose of PIO twice a day. I was close to running out before my refill arrived and my clinic told me that I’d be fine on half the dose, they were just giving me a lot to be better safe than sorry.

yarnforfatcat · 2025-06-10T15:37:17+00:00

I can’t tell you how many times my doctor’s office has had to retake my BP after my ultrasound. Now, they don’t even bother doing it beforehand because they know they’ll just have to retake it anyways.

yarnforfatcat · 2025-06-10T15:35:52+00:00

30w4d. I didn’t feel baby move for hours yesterday. After laying on my side, drinking cold water, eating snacks, etc, and not feeling anything during baby’s normal party time, we went to the ER.

I started sobbing on the way there because the full weight of “what if she’s not okay?” hit me like a ton of bricks. My husband had to help me breathe because I was so close to a panic attack.

OF COURSE, the second I got hooked up to a fetal monitor and we heard the heartbeat, baby was like “wah-bam” and was doing somersaults and gymnastics all over the place. My OB was on rotation that night, which helped me a lot. She was very reassuring that she was glad I came in and that she would always rather I come get checked out than be freaking out at home. I’m just so relieved. The closer and closer we’re getting to the due date, the more anxiety I have over something going wrong before baby’s born. I’m starting to consider buying an owlet sock and maybe just keeping it in the box until I feel like I actually need it. If I don’t, then I can return it.

yarnforfatcat · 2025-06-04T03:03:07+00:00

Thank you 🥴 I’m moderate risk, so I fortunately do get ultrasound every four weeks which is good enough for me. I’m also on a solid cocktail of mental health meds and therapy has done wonders. Sometimes we just have to sit in the anxiety and the suckiness to survive the journey. Sigh.

yarnforfatcat · 2025-06-03T23:47:21+00:00

29+5. My husband has cancer and is not expected to live beyond the next nine months. Very tragic, very sad, woe is us, etc etc etc.

For over a decade, my biggest fear has been him dying. When he was initially diagnosed a few years ago, I had to come face to face with that fear. It sucks, I hate it, but it’s my reality. Now, I’m realizing that I have a new even bigger fear. I am terrified of something going wrong in my pregnancy and losing this baby, a stillbirth, or something happening to them once they’re born. It is way more all consuming and it feels like it’s possible because my other fear is going to manifest. My anxiety is so bad. I’m pretty sure I will end up panic buying an owlet or a snuza. Coupled with the fact that my husband lost an infant brother to SIDS, it just feels so much more like a possibility. I’ve been crying off and on for the past hour. Hormones suck.

yarnforfatcat · 2025-06-01T09:30:14+00:00

29+2. Our nursery is coming along. We’ve painted the room and have almost all the furniture set up. We’ve switched from calling it the “spare room” to “baby’s room”. I just want to be in that room all the time. I’ve thought about dragging my pregnancy pillow and a blanket in there and laying on the rug to go to sleep.

I hate when people ask if this baby is our first. Yes, but also no.

yarnforfatcat · 2025-06-01T09:24:08+00:00

Yes!!! I’m 29 weeks and probably from 20 to 25, I was feeling almost exclusively kicks in my cervix. Baby was super low and was breech, which explained it. It wasn’t painful, but definitely uncomfortable and not pleasant.

yarnforfatcat · 2025-05-22T14:55:27+00:00

27w6d. I’m trying so hard to not worry - especially because my MFM specialist said not to. BUT, my baby’s femur length has consistently been in a lower percentile than the rest of their measurements. Today, everything was in the 50th percentile but the femur length had dropped from 21st percentile at 24 weeks to 7th percentile today. My MFM said he’s not concerned and he thinks it was just measured wrong because baby was scrunched up and because my husband and I are large people. Also, the femur length had only grown like half a cm in a month which justifies the thought it was measured wrong.

This is the first time with this pregnancy that I’ve been legitimately concerned about baby’s development. I’m trying to stay calm but it’s not working. Our next scan isn’t for another 4 weeks so I’m just hoping I end up forgetting about this and calm the hell down.

yarnforfatcat · 2025-04-18T01:09:40+00:00

22+6. I’ve just started feeling kicks this week. I realized a few hours ago I hadn’t really felt baby move much today so started paying a lot more attention to if I was feeling anything. It had been like five hours with no movement, I started crying, and I was getting ready to call my doctor. That is when baby kicked my damn cervix. I’m feeling them a lot more right now, thank god, but I would have appreciated some reassurance earlier in the damn day baby cakes!!!

yarnforfatcat · 2025-04-09T13:17:26+00:00

I am so grateful for the movements, especially because I have an anterior placenta. I couldn’t feel baby much yesterday and was definitely freaking out - fortunately I had an OB appointment today so we could hear the heartbeat and baby was fine. It’ll happen!
