Note: This thread will include discussion of infertility and loss. If these topics are triggering for you, please take care of yourself while reading and posting here.

This thread is for those of us who went through infertility testing and treatments before becoming pregnant. Many of us have had different struggles to get to this place and face different anxiety and concerns now. This thread is for us to support each other, and we hope it will be a safe space. Though this thread starts on Saturdays, please feel free to post here at any time during the week, whether for good news or bad. Consider this an ongoing conversation.

This thread is for those who have experienced infertility. The struggles we discuss may or may not apply to those who became pregnant easily. If you have not experienced infertility, please be considerate and sensitive if you feel the need to post in this thread.

Intro

becomingthewilsons19 — Thu, 17 Jan 2019 20:56:19 +0000

Hi All!

My husband and I have been ttc for a year and a half. Our first preg ended up being a cervical eptopic pregnancy which was really very heartbreaking and scary as it is so rare. We had a CP the month before getting pregnant this time! I am still in disbelief that we are actually pregnant with a baby who now has a beating heart! Looking forward to having this board as a support system! We are due Aug 11th right next to our wedding anniversary!

Product Spotlight: Maternity Clothes and Pillows

cato99 — Mon, 14 Jan 2019 16:21:34 +0000

Hello all! We're not all quite there yet but the second trimester is visible on the horizon, so it's a great time to share some of those 2nd tri essentials: maternity clothes, and maternity pillows to help us sleep as our bodies and bellies grow.

Brands you love? Shopping hacks? Tips for strategizing different outfit coordinations? Questions about timing your maternity clothes purchases? How about questions or advice to accommodate different body types? Work-wear vs. formal-wear vs. workout clothes? As for pillows, J-shaped vs. U-shaped? Tips on avoiding maternity pillow purchase and instead constructing elaborate forts with regular pillows? Please share!

Hair Removal Products...

babydugosh13 — Sat, 12 Jan 2019 23:43:47 +0000

Has anyone used or currently using a hair removal product they are happy with? (In the safety scope for pregnancy of course) I’m curious about nair, I’ve used it in the past with no skin issues but the chemical smell bothers me even when not pregnant! I shave everywhere and I just wanted to try something a little easier during this pregnancy. I’d rather not continue with the shower ninja poses later on when I can’t see past my belly 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

Ready and go...

How are you trying to stay healthy in your food choices?
