@meagan-t oh man, that sounds intense... 3 different weekends or is there 2 one weekend in there? Can you hope you go into labor the day before the first one and just skip them all?! 😂
I could have worded that better. 😂 They are all one weekend after the other (5th, 12th, 19th. And two are on family birthdays, but we don't really celebrate those, so I guess that's okay?). I'd be okay missing two of them, but I'd rather not. The latest one - 12 days before D-Day - is the one I'd most like to make it to.
I'm sure it'll all work out, but boy oh boy, what a busy month!

Are they all within an hour of you? You’ll be on travel restrictions by that point...

I don't know the actual locations yet, but the farthest away shouldn't be more than an hour and a half. But that's a solid point. I forgot about that!
@elle-0409 I haven't tried it at all this pregnancy. (I actually prefer not to have any during my pregnancies even though I miss it) With my first I was around 24 weeks when I was craving root beer, so I got one from McDonald's at lunch. 30 minutes later I was shaking and so jittery and I couldn't figure out why... Then I looked online and found out Barqs has caffeine 🤦🏼♀️ it wasn't even that much and it affected me so bad, so I just know to stay far away now!
@elle-0409 I did this today too! I had a "half caff" cup of coffee from our Nespresso because I was dead tired. Hadn't had any in two months. I was bouncing off the walls! I'm crashing now, though - headache and need a nap. LOL
@meagan-t that's a lot of weddings in 1 month! I just found out DD1's bestie's parents are getting married 2 days before my due date and it's the same day as my doctoral project presentation. Idk if I'll be making it to either!!! She was who I was hoping we could leave DD1 with when I'm in the hospital, but I guess that's not an option now. Crap!
Oh no, @aprosch! Are you going to have a way to still present your doctoral project and a possible backup for the little one? That's a lot of stress on your plate. I hope you can get it figured out! 🤞🏻
@galentine I’m past that...did it on my regular pants...then started wearing pants a size up...now also have to do the hair tie trick on these ones too 😆
I wonder if people see right through my bs when I’m in the grocery store and DS is being crazy and I say “you are so wild today!” As if this isn’t my life 24/7 🤣
My father in law, who is notorious for breaking things and being clumsy, just broke our toilet seat. DH is about to put DS to bed so it won’t get replaced til morning. So I have to hope I remember not to sit when I pee in the middle of the night or I’ll probably get a nice pinch on the butt
I had to do the hair tie trick on my pants today. They were just uncomfortably tight. It's too soon, I'm not ready! 😂😭
I feel you! I couldn’t close the button on my work pants this morning. Time for the belly band and hair bands. I feel like this point came at a later week the first time around though.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha! 😂 I had awful bloat beginning in week 5, and none of my clothes fit. I know you're further along than me, so I know you're getting closer to showing too. I've only mentioned the probiotic I take, I think, 183 times, but it absolutely helped with the bloat and I'm back into my normal clothes again. The bloat was so uncomfortable and completely unexpected for me.
(I keep seeing the meme loop and his expression keeps making me laugh. 😂)

That's exactly what worries me: I'm a FTM! 😳
Buzzkill alert. Majority of FTMs need a belly band or a hair tie at the 8-10w mark. Going longer than that without isn’t the norm
I am so over my two year old taking one bite of meals and promptly saying he’s done. I have no motivation to prepare food and it’s sucks when he turns down nearly everything I offer aside from fruit, yogurt and toast!
Same! My two year old is going through an annoying phase like that too.

Well, crap. I’m 11 weeks and am still wearing my regular pants. Now I’m nervous. I don’t have an appointment for another week.
I actually think this is one of those "pregnancy is different for everyone" things. I'm not sure there's a norm. My sister wore regular pants into week 16 with both of her pregnancies and has two perfectly healthy and (in my completely unbiased opinion) freaking adorable kids. Every pregnancy is different. Don't let something silly like pants worry you. ❤
@galentine Thank you for the reassurance, I think because I am doing the NIPT blood draw today and have the NT scan next week I'm a little on edge. "Don't let something silly like pants worry you" is a great life motto in my opinion!
BTW: GL at your blood draw today!!

@elle-0409, LOL glad I could provide you with a new life motto. I'm sorry you are on edge, though. I hope these next few weeks fly by until you know you have a happy healthy babe in there. Good luck to you today too!
@elle-0409 I’m pretty sure there were moms in my first BMB who said they wore their normal pants throughout their entire pregnancies (to which I said, what is this witchcraft?). Different body types change differently during pregnancy and it’s nothing to worry about.
Maybe this goes in the symptoms or questions thread, I don't know. But I have to ask - is anyone else suddenly dreaming about sex?? It's not something I ever recall dreaming about, really. But the last three nights I've had dreams all about that - last night I dreamt that I "hooked up" (sorry can't think of a less cheesy term right now!) with a guy I dated well over a decade ago. It was....detailed. *blush*
@cmbt2 LOL whew! I am still on partial bed rest and full pelvic rest for another week because of the SCH - hoping they give me the all clear during next Friday's appointment because I'm sure not being able to do anything is contributing to the dreams! Thanks for the reassurance.
@jenferlee82 I seriously have had at least 3 different sex dreams. Something I’ve never really have had before, to that extent. Unfortunately for DH I decided to fall back asleep instead of acting on it. 🤷🏻♀️🙈 My libido has been non-existent the last two months so I guess that’s why these dreams really stuck out.
@emily1052 Yes! That's how I am - during waking hours I want nothing to do with it (even before the pelvic rest, poor DH.) But my dreams really do make me blush. LOL. Glad I'm not alone!
@jenferlee82 You are definitely not alone. I've been watching a lot of The Office lately, and Jim Halpert has been doing some very naughty things in my dreams.

@elle-0409 and @galentine Right there with you - I think I've seen every episode of The Office 20 times at least, and my Jim/John crush is long-standing. Have to agree that current older, bearded JK is sexiest though. I would MUCH prefer my dreams be about him than my stupid ex! Haha
Finally embraced my new lactose intolerance (thanks, baby), and I am so much happier! Still feeling icky, but not nearly as close to vomiting as I have been. Coconut milk yogurt, almond milk latte, banana "ice cream"...I can still have my yummy things, but without the side effects. Hurray for being pregnant in a golden age of alternative food products!
