IVF #2 with PGS - Stims started 10/28 with retrieval on 11/11. Of 14 mature eggs, 10 fertilized, 4 made it to Day 5 & 1 made it to Day 6. We did PGS on the Day 5 embryos, and 3 of 4 were normal. Had ET on 11/17. Beta #1 (8dp6dt): 203. Beta #2 (10dp6dt): 618. We since had two ultrasounds & on 12/19, our RE released us to the OB. On 1/02/14, we had our first ultrasound with the OB where we heard the heartbeat. We are so thankful for the blessing & crossing every finger & toe for a healthy & successful pregnancy.

it wasn't maternity, but it was available in store and when I tried it on the skirt was so flowy/so much extra fabric it covered the 30 week bump without looking totally off-length (or indecent)
My MIL bought mine from pea in the pod for my baby shower, but it was two years ago. I wore it after he was born to, but tied it tighter.
I've never been into maxi dresses but my sisters made me try it on and not only was it really cute, it was so comfortable! I'm a believer now.
