Have any thoughts, questions, feelings, fears? Spill them here!

This is a good place to ask questions to a broader audience than the weekly trimester check-ins so those with experience can chime in!

Hey everyone, just wondering if anyone has any diaper bag recommendations? I'm looking for a backpack style.
TIA

@teriulbricht - I just got this one at my shower

I love that it has a spot for wipes so you don't have to dig for them

Thanks @kelrauh I'll check it out!

@teriulbricht I have this one, it was a splurge but I destroyed 3 other cheap diaper bags, this one is a year old and going strong going on hikes and every possible "adventure." Can be worn over the shoulder or backpack style or without kiddo as its cute. Hurt the first time but hasn't been an issue since. My friends also love ju ju bee brand, fits a ton and cute patterns.

I love my Ju-Ju-Be diaper bag that was given to me by my sister. The one I have isn't a backpack style but they do make plenty that are here: https://shop.ju-ju-be.com/be-right-back/

Sooo many compartments and good quality are what I like about the brand!

I have also heard really good things about Petunia Pickle Bottom bags, but don't have any personal experience with them. Worth checking out though!

I'll be going with this one for a back pack - hoping it holds up as well as my sisters did (she has the one with just straps).

Getting a much needed pedicure, and WOW are my feet super ticklish now that I'm pregnant! Im sure this has to do with extra blood flow, but jeeze! 

teebric

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll check them out, hopefully I'm able to find a supplier over here. @JWatt5 I did have a look at that one, it's on my shortlist! 

Haha @ChocolateIsLife my feet have always been ticklish so I now the feeling! And a pedicure sounds so unbelievably good right now...

ETA I just checked them out and they either don't ship internationally or the shipping costs are extreme! 

ChocolateIsLife

@teriulbricht the pedicure was so needed! It is the one thing I splurge on 

Question: I'm currently waiting for response from clinic but thought you ladies might know. I'm supposed to stop my progesterone suppositories at 10 weeks. Does this mean right on 10 weeks, or the end of 10 weeks?

@ChocolateIsLife I need a pedicure! I can't reach my toes now lol! As for stopping the progesterone... I can't remember if it was AT 10 weeks or at the end. I have a feeling that it was right at 10 weeks, but definitely ask your RE before discontinuing!

@wifeinraleigh28 um those ju-ju-be bags are beautiful! Really love the "Black Ops" design. Which bag do you have? I'm looking at the "Be Classy" and the "Be Prepared"!

wifeinraleigh28

@babylonghorn16 Just in looking at the styles I think I have "be prepared"! I absolutely love it. Here's the one I have:

@ChocolateIsLife I stopped PIO the day I hit 10 weeks. It was glorious!

ChocolateIsLife

@babylonghorn16 oh my goodness you're almost due!!! So exciting!! 
@babylonghorn16 & @wifeinraleigh28 thank you ladies! The clinic said right at 10 weeks, but I can take longer if I want to. I really don't "want" to but I might just finish the box. This may be tmi, but we haven't had sex since January, and the suppositories are the main reason since they have nasty discharge. We are both so ready to be done with it!

JWatt5

We're having a BOY!!! I knew it hehe. So excited - it just feels right to be having a boy!!

@teriulbricht, similar to @kelrauh, we registered for this one (I actually stopped a couple in a parking garage and asked them what it was - her first comment was also about the wipes!).

@JWatt5 - CONGRATULATIONS girl!!! On the boy I mean

teebric

Thanks for all your suggestions, it's been really helpful to see what's out there. I think I'm gonna splurge a little and get the Ju-ju-be BFF, it took some researching but I managed to find one (and only one) supplier over here which is going to save a bunch on shipping! 

byrneme

@teriulbricht , my friend has the BFF and absolutely adores it! Even her DH likes it too. It was top of my list before I found the one I posted above. Yea for finding it locally too!
