there wasn't a randoms/chatter thread on page 1 so I figured I'd start a new one.
Man, there is absolutely nothing in the world like your own bed. Especially when almost 6 mos pregnant. I spent the last 5 nights at my mom's sleeping on a futon thing. So uncomfortable compared to my bed with my body pillow. I am so excited to be back in my bed tonight.

Re: Randoms (12/27)
I got some alone Target shopping time tonight. Camelbak water bottles are on sale, so I got one for each of us. Toddler pants were also 20% off.

I just joined a gym. It's basically free...if I go 12 times a month. I hate gyms in January but I figured if I don't get off my butt soon, it'll never happen when baby is here.
I am going to a surprise birthday party tonight so I went out to get her a gift today. I found a good used book for only $8 but I'm still bothered by it. I just don't really think adults should have to give each other birthday gifts, except for maybe your absolute best friends. I don't have extra money for all that! Maybe this is an UO...

My Random is that I'm so excited my next door neighbor is pregnant!!! Our babies will be 4 months apart. I absolutely love her! We're not super close or hang out all the time, but I'd like to keep it that way. The more you know about someone, the more they can get on your nerves. But I can't wait!!!
All this suggests to me is that labor as represented to me on tv is probably not a good source of information either.
and yes @BabyBlake.04.2017 I'm noticing that too, and my maternity belt is bulky so it's totally visible under maternity shirts. Awesome.

I am having trouble sleeping and I think it's because I toss and turn all night trying to get comfortable. Does anyone have a pregnancy pillow that has helped them get some zzz's?? Opinions? Thoughts? Sympathy??

And also agreed that it's crazy we've reached the point to have a birth and labor thread convo! The weeks and months are going by absurdly fast!!

@Omie_Wise I bought the snoogle mini. It's small enough to be comfortable and not overhwhelm my queen sized bed, but big enough to support me, reduce heartburn, and keep me in one spot all night.

@teamla hopefully it's just the dehydration and it eases up soon! I know I can get some if I'm not drinking enough water or if I've really over-done it sometimes.
My random, and hopefully I haven't missed this before in other threads--I don't get a lot of time on here to read as much as I'd like! A coworker told me the other day that when her sister was pregnant (about 1yr ago), she heard that bras with underwire can restrict milk from coming in when the baby is born. This came up bc I was telling another friend about how I've been wearing a nursing bra since like 12w because my regulars bras were so uncomfortable and I couldn't take it anymore. Has anyone heard this before? Asking because I'm just really curious and never heard anything like it before lol.

Underwire bras never affected my supply, personally. My milk came in two days after she was born, and I had crazy oversupply. Still nursing her 2-3 times a day nearly three years later.
