@tincupchalice I had to cancel mine when DS was about 10 months old. I just didn't go enough and he screamed every time I left him at the daycare. I got a treadmill for my garage and haven't looked back.
I have felt nothing. 14 Weeks 4 Days. I also have a dumb anterior placenta so they said I’ll be close to the end of the second tri before I feel kicks.
My car keeps making this random dinging noise and we can't figure out what it is. We've taken it in and they said, nothing is wrong with it. But the noise won't stop!! It'll do it for like a day or two and then just go away and then come back a few weeks later. And we have about a 4.5 hour drive ahead of us tonight so I need that noise to stop!
@sandbar517 ok I guess you are right. I think I'm just so excited that July opened up and is just as much of a hot mess as June. Loving to lurk, but I do appreciate our boards maturity and tolerance (and lack of drama llamas)
Anyone have any experience with maternity pillows. I know they can be pricey and I am wondering if they are worth it?! On another note is anyone super excited about Bad Mom's coming out, I am!!!!
I think I'm switching OBs. I just had a third massive bleed this week and she didn't even want to see me- told me to "put my feet up for a few days". She's also insisting I don't need my thyroid levels checked until 28 weeks instead of 12 (I have Hashimoto's so I need them checked more frequently). I called my endocrinologist who told me I absolutely needed it checked at 12 like I thought. I don't know if I'm overreacting, but I feel like I'm now second guessing anything she tells me. A friend recommended a different OB with a great reputation, but now I'm feeling super guilty and anxious about "breaking up". Has anyone else switched? I know she probably won't even care but it's stressing me out!
@k5678 if you don't feel comfortable with the doctor that you have, and you have another one lined up that you think would be a better fit then there is nothing to feel guilty about. This is about your health and the health of your baby, no need to worry about hurting anyone's feelings. I think a lot of doctors probably prefer you find someone that is a better fit if you don't agree with what they are recommending.
@k5678 I've broken up with physicians before and luckily you usually only speak with office staff. It can be awkward but you don't have to give them a reason. If they ask why you're canceling or want to reschedule just say you're looking into another physician that someone recommended or that you want a second opinion.
@k5678 If you have a gut feeling something's off - go with it! People switch OB's all the time, it won't be a big deal. The important thing is you feel like you (and your baby) are well taken care of and listened to.
I have felt nothing. 14 Weeks 4 Days. I also have a dumb anterior placenta so they said I’ll be close to the end of the second tri before I feel kicks.
My third had an anterior placenta. I could only feel her kick when she was big enough to reach my ribs. Yikes! They also had a terrible time finding her heartbeat for a long time, so don’t let that freak you out!
@k5678 I switched with my first. The OB made me feel panicky, told me not to run while pregnant even though I had been an avid runner for years because I “might jolt the baby,” and made me feel like my pregnancy was potentially not viable. Coming off of my loss, that was not what I wanted to hear. I switched based on recommendations form my friends and I love my OB now. Our first appointment with him, he came in with a black eye because he tripped while training for a trail race. He was very reassuring and had a great sense of humor. I’m so glad I switched!
@mileswithmyles I was thinking that, too, but was too lazy to read back through threads to find where she told us the date! LOL @ivyvines6, if it is I hope you have a beautiful and amazing day!!

@k5678 I just want to echo what everyone else has said because I think it's so important to be comfortable with your OB. My last doctor's poor bedside manner had a lot to do with the mental health issues I was having towards the end of pregnancy and especially after my daughter was born. I'm now at a different provider and I am sooooo much happier. I recently called my old OB's office and told them I was moving so I needed to switch providers. Total lie but they'll never know and it made me feel less awkward.
@k5678 I switched from the midwife we used for our first to a different OB this time around. Things had started really great with her, but I had so many issues towards the end of the pregnancy and afterward that DH and I refused to use her again for another pregnancy. My current OB makes me feel so much more at ease, mostly because he disagrees with how my first delivery was handled and seems much more willing to stick to what I want than my midwife was. (You know, within reason.)
@bcmountainmama I’m with you. I got cocky and said “second tri! I don’t need to be as vigilant about my meds. I can eat anything!” Yeah, no. Pretty much everything ended up in the toilet. Whomp, whomp.
Thank you guys for the reassurance! I feel much better about switching. Even if she tells me all the exact same things I think I'll be so much more comfortable.
I’m not looking forward to thanksgiving this year. DH leaves on a business trip the day after for 17 days. All the other managers go for a week, but my stepdad who owns the business sends him away for 17 days. He apparently hates me.
After I was without him 2 1/2 weeks in October. If I disappear, they’ve locked me in a psych ward. Usually I can handle it but my toddler is kicking my butt lately.
I'm a little bit mad at my husband...he said after youth service tonite he'd go and get us food. But when he called it was already 8 and I wanted qdoba soooooooo bad, but he said he wasn't hungry. He said he'd still go get me food but I felt bad if he wasn't getting anything for himself so I told him never mind. He should have known that what I MEANT was yes go get me food. But he didnt know because women are a mystery and men are clueless and now I am secretly steaming that he didn't JUST GO GET HIS PREGNANT WIFE A DAMN BURRITO BOWL FROM QDOBAS!!!!

I had the Snoogle for almost 5 years and slept with it pregnant and not pregnant. Get the zippered cover or else it’s a biatch to get on and off to wash. I finally threw it away but I’m definitely asking for another for Christmas since I know I’ll use it for years.
@sparklingdiamond that was me! I was on the getting pregnant board mostly (I hit married life but was run off because apparently being married for a year doesn't qualify lol) but I was there through my first loss and a little after I got pregnant with my son so that would have been '09-'11 when were you there?
