It would be a good idea to get a babysitter because you may need one for labour or after bub is born and starting now gives her plenty of time to get used to it.

My most intense shade is for the people who thought I must be disappointed with having a girl when I was having my first >_>

Yeah true. She loves our neighbor, so I may ask her. I knew this would have to happen eventually and she’ll probably adjust better than I expect but my control freak nature is like eye twitch

I think about this alllll the time because I’ll admit to having feelings of wanting “one of each.” But then I remember that feeling is rooted in this assumption that parenting is this thing that is supposed to enrich us, first and foremost, and not create humans that will have their own full lives and identities. Plus assumptions about how a child of a certain sex will behave!
I didn’t find out the sex of my baby and it really helped me avoid these conversations

Yeah we didn’t find out for the first one but this one I wanted to know, to have the opposite experience and see if it helped me with earlier bonding etc. so interesting, all of the societal gender feelings

I am suddenly ravenous tonight after a day of bad tum where I essentially force fed myself breakfast and lunch. Maybe my hormones are shifting and this nausea will go away.???

So I had sex and my vagina hurts? This hasn’t really happened to me before, I don’t know if I should call the midwives and ask about it or just see if it goes away?
I don’t think I had sex past the first trimester last time so I don’t know if this is just normal for me at this point in pregnancy.

I always feel like if in doubt, call. My midwives were always very clear that they would rather hear from us over something that’s 100% not a thing than miss something that is a thing.

Took a break from Zofran which was great for my poops but bad for eating. I just wanted to see if I still needed it? Yeah.

Are you doing it slowly or all at once? I found i still had to be on either 4mg/day or 4mg twice, can’t remember, and if i took it i was completely fine and if i didn’t i just started sliding again.

I’m only taking 4mg once a day to begin with because my stupid insurance only lets me get 9 pills at a time

Well that is shiiiit. They come in packs of 10 here and Ponder was going every other day at one point, because i was on 32mg/day, until the pharmacist twigged and gave him repeats early. Which I’m sure is something your insurance has thought of and made sure you can’t get a damn thing early.
