@seye I just tossed a freezer drawer of frozen milk that was g r o s s. I was EP for a while while baby refused to nurse so I just had extra at the end of the day. So no extra work for me really but still so sad to toss it. But we need the freezer space more than we kneed to keep milk baby won't...

@healingacts Measurements at this point are so small, it's hard to be accurate. The difference between 10mm and 12mm is so tiny but can indicate different weeks.

@praying4peace I also didn't mind it. I had some unflavoured clear kind and it tasted like the syrup that comes with fruit in a tin.

@wiseguy451 It's a huge sacrifice for so little, long term and on average.

@pollinnna230 I'm sorry you've had this experience. As others have said, you should definitely look for a new doc if you can. I wanted to add that you're right that the #1 thing that affects egg quality is age. Of course you still have lots of time, but waiting for weight loss isn't the move...

@brokenlyperfect Letrozole yes, inositol no.

@brokenlyperfect The reason why weight could affect reproduction is that fat cells make estrogen too. So you have the regular estrogen being made and regulated through your ovaries and pituitary gland but then you also have this unregulated back channel of estrogen being made, so your hormone...

@jpocd Don't listen to this doctor. Listen to your regular doctor and tour anesthesiologist. Finding the right spot on a bigger person can be trickier and they may have to play around to find the dosage that works, but once everything is in the right place, it all works the same.

@newbie2016 The single greatest factor that affects egg quality is age. At a certain point, it's negligible... there probably isn't much quality difference between a 25 year old and a 27 year old. Taking the time to lose weight or improve lifestyle could be worth it. But for most people, it's...

@lone_disciple I'm 5ft5 and was 240ush lbs in pregnancy and could definitely see baby moving around in there!

@ehnglo Might be worth it to take a photo and hide it away somewhere. Your body will never be the way it was (not saying it'll be worse or anything, just that you can't uncarry and unbirth a baby).

And here I am at 25w, with a cute rounded bump: https://preview.redd.it/0eigl6jx98dc1.jpeg?width=407&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=051b54072c7de4abfbb8c51c21bd3e6fe7a4b401

@thony You're so right!

@ehnglo Here I am at 8w, so essentially a 'before' pic: https://preview.redd.it/ktxm4gct98dc1.jpeg?width=422&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b293c24c3352d5de144809c39d8c859cf6139bf4

@missy945 Pb and apple slices (I can't stand peanut butter when it's been sitting on bread for a bit but otherwise I love it). Gf or corn tortilla rolls with hummus or nondairy cheese (might be ablento get some veg on there too). Batch make some mini muffins he might like. Energy balls with...

@candimarie Doctors shouldn't be allowed to turn down patients based on assumed prognosis. Were these doctors at a leading hospital? In my area, Mount Sinai is the best hospital and if my bmi went over 45, I would've had to have my care there.

@immela Everyone is saying prenatals...yes, do that. If you can't find one you like, make sure you're getting 5mg of folic acid. Even if you find a prenatal you like, you'll almost certainly need to take additional folic acid to get to 5mg. Other than that... congrats! Try to enjoy it. Babies...

@taskid2 This basically echos having gestational diabetes, though obviously one has to keep a closer eye on every meal or snack. And some people ultimately lose weight on that diet.
