@snowtrekker I also had been planning for an intervention free birth, practically for most of my adult life. I was diagnosed with preeclampsia in triage for delivery and was put on magnesium, which eventually lead to Pitocin and hour and a half of Pitocin contractions had me absolutely...

@manoffiji I bought 4 3xl T-shirts from Etsy with fun graphics on them and I’m gonna be wearing those with high waisted biker shorts. The extra fabric is nice for covering up while breastfeeding. Also got some oversized button ups from old navy that I can wear when I go into the office with easy...

@luden If I tried to wear a crop top with no bra my nipples would be hanging out the bottom of the shirt 😆😆😆😭

@7caldwell I live in Minnesota and plan on buying a “make my belly fit” jacket extender. It’s not cheap, but I think it will definitely be worth it, as I’m due in February.

@godswill4me I just meant I really did not have a belly at all to emphasize until I was around 22ish weeks.

@godswill4me I let it hang as soon as possible. Unluckily for me that was probably not till 22-25 ish weeks

@danielf I went to MFM for my anatomy scan because their US machine was more powerful than the one at my OB’s office, but my OB continued care for my whole pregnancy. As to your second question, yes things can change quickly. I had a perfectly healthy pregnancy with normal blood pressure the...
