Pregnancy is weird

Fucking pregnancy carpal tunnel. It’s so weird that this is a symptom.

Ughhhh that was the WORST with Latte. Took ages PP to resolve, too. (Although I had intense fluid fuckery because of the preE, so I doubt that’s typical). Legit it was good I wasn’t working because I wouldn’t have been able to draw up meds or anything, my hands were so bad.

I often struggle to push buttons on the baby monitor in the dark because I can’t feel shit with my hands.

I find it super weird how much I’m feeling Braxton hicks this time around. I guess they tend to be more noticable round 2?

Started omeprazole today, not a moment too soon. Nice to have no reflux symptoms for an entire day after what feels like, and maybe is, months

Braxton hicks today. Painless but tight tight tight. Wonder if it’s the heat (high of 91).

I have started my short term disability claim and ordered a pump. I still have my Spectras so I went with the Baby Buddha 2.0. Apparently the newer version has a gentle mode that doesn’t rip off your nipples. I am excited to try a more portable option for work, assuming I go back to that place

Right now I am absolutely starving AND nauseous. I do not like this combo

Do I tempt fate and order delivery from the same burger place I puked up the night labor with Ravioli began? They also have milkshakes….

Because last pregnancy she puked it up and went into labour. Just being silly superstitious.

Braxton hicks? Start of labor? I don’t think so. I think I just walked too much today. I would like one more weekend with one baby. And time to get to the Big Target for last minute things

I had my 36 week appointment and they gave me so much homework to prepare for birth, including eating like 6 medjool dates daily, drinking like 5 cups of raspberry leaf tea, daily sex (lololol) tinctures (is that not like super woo woo? Like I know I’m at a birth center but still) something called blood booster?

Last pregnancy I got to 36 weeks and the homework was… Keep coming to appointments?

Everything else has some research and no harm… want to take pics of the tinctures and I can give you thoughts? May just be placebo

Agree. Low to moderate evidence of utility with quite low risk, tbd on tincture contents. If they’d recommended castor oil or evening primrose oil that evidence is more mixed last I looked.
