Due to insurance being dumb and also taking more than was initially prescribed (suggested by doc, I’m not going rogue lol) I get to go a day without nausea meds today. Getting filled first thing tomorrow. It’s only 8AM and I already notice their absence

That brutal. Can you pay for one day OOP? Our healthcare system is inhumane.

It is surprisingly expensive. The next fill shouldn’t have that issue; I had my doc adjust the qty/month to reflect how often I’m taking it now

That’s really weird. If the doc changed the dose and/or instructions then your refill should be available immediately bc you should have access to the higher dose right away. Insurance has to cover it. For example, if I have a patient on Adderall 20mg daily and they filled it yesterday and I see them today and change the dose to 30mg daily, the insurance has to cover that new dose that day. Pharmacy may balk bc it’s two controlleds in two days, but that’s another issue.

Maybe they just changed the quantity and not the instructions?

That’s what I thought, but I had filled it too recently for them to fill again. Believe me we were at the Walgreens window negotiating for a while

just general panic about this whole thing
I have my first appointment with the birth center on something like the 30th and I’m like panicking for some reason?
I think the uncertainty of vaginal birth and how shitty it went last time is freaking me out and I just want to schedule a C section for like July 5th and think about getting my tubes tied at the same time and be done. Like I know there are probably unknowns with a planned c but I haven’t been traumatized by so many of the bad sides of those happening in a 48 hour period.
I’m not even sure I want to be done at two kids, I am just a wreck at the moment. We’re unresolved on a lot of financial worries, being a mom to a toddler while pregnant is really hard, and the fact that I’m doing this again and eliminating the possibility of one and done is like bothering me even though I decided on this? Like I very much considered one and done after the last shit show that was birth and postpartum and I’m mourning that unless something bad turns up on the NIPT that option is gone?
Did I even want this? Do I want this and I’m just in a really freaked out panicky place right now? I think the latter but aaaaaah. My psyche, it disintegrates into flammable dust with the anxiety.
Also it’s becoming obvious that I have a super strong preference for a girl for reasons that aren’t quite clear to me (I think mostly I always wanted a sister and never had one?) and I may lose it if we’re having a boy. I don’t want to care so much and I don’t know why I do? Like THEY MIGHT NOT EVEN BE A BOY IF THEY ARE A “BOY” and babies are essentially the same beyond diaper changes until more socializing kicks in?

I think I am sufficiently reassured.
I realized one problem is a lack of overlap in boy name taste. GM wants to name a boy maybe after his dad or granddad. So Frederick or Heinrich. Not… Exactly my taste.

GM technically suggested Mo’s name first even though we had the same one in mind. So maybe I can claim he picked her name so I get to pick the next one?

If you don’t like the name you don’t like the name. Perhaps one that starts with the same letter, or maybe a middle name bc it is important to him?

We will first determine if it’s relevant!
I could probably get on board with Henry as an alternative. That’s basically just English Heinrich right?

Yes! And a very popular name currently (for good reason—so cute!)

My goal with Mo was easily recognizable but not super common and I feel like that is so much harder to achieve with boy names I like.
Positive news, I think it’s been four days since I last threw up.

Well you’ve got some time to think on it!

Our name criteria were always so rigorous. Easy to ID, only one main spelling, not a super common name but also not “weird”. Playground test- doesn’t sound close enough to another name that it’s hard to mishear (Mac/Max/Matt, that sort of thing). And then beyond that of course we had specific “feels” we liked and disliked. Names take so much work
