    A FTM birth plan thrown to the wind

    @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...

    It’s HOT 🥵 what are you wearing this summer?

    @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 😆😆😆😭

    Plus size bump-friendly coats?

    @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. The extender also works for baby wearing, so I think it will get a lot of use, and my partner and I can both use it to baby...

    Thin bleeding and nervous

    @pollinnna230 I had bleeding for a bit around 7 weeks, and my OB said she thought my symptoms sounded exactly like a SH, even though neither of the techs spotted it in the 2 USs I had during the bleeding. Currently have a wonderful 12 week old sleeping on my chest so it worked out :).

    TTC and had first fertility appointment. What a shit show

    @pollinnna230 I highly recommend you look for a different clinic with a higher BMI limit. There was a recent study that showed weight loss does not increase fertility, so this Dr isn’t even working with the latest science. My clinic has a BMI limit of 50.

    Mother-in-law offered to come stay with us for the first week or two and I feel guilty that I don’t really want that. Am I being unreasonable?

    @mousa It is definitely not unreasonable or selfish to want time for yourself and your husband to adjust to parenthood and get to know your new baby. Also, the whole point of accepting help is actually wanting the help. If you don’t want the help, you don’t have to accept it. My Sister in law...

    Giving in to fat vs pregnant belly

    Was everyone referred to an MFM just because their BMI says they’re “obese”?

    @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...
