Anyone do at home face masks/ scrubs? Trying to figure out if it's safe for pregnany. Anyone know what to avoid? I have a store bought one I've used 2or 3 times, but haven't used it since getting pregnant.
@wabash15 You're the second person this week recommending them. Do you know of any comparable for a bit less than their price points?
People think we become mothers when we give birth but the truth is we become mothers the moment we start calling our babies to us in our thoughts, dreams and prayers. Some paths are short and some are so long that you can easily forget where you were headed.

I’m in that size range (currently wearing 32H, heaven knows what size I was when I was nursing, especially that first stretch) and never really found a perfect option last time. I wound up just wearing a bunch of bras from Target in XL (which was ok for the boobs but didn’t provide band/back support) with a nursing tank layered over it to hold everything in.
@gabila66 moisturize with lanolin or coconut oil? Not sure if that would help.

I’m having a complete blank on making up my mind where to register. I had hoped it would be easy and I could walk through babies r us but....I was late to the party on the whole closing thing. and since I feel so out of touch with all things baby related, I have a hard time picking online. What have been your favorite top couple of choices? I’m feeling the pressure to get it knocked out. I was thinking Target and an online registry. Suggestions?
@emqbee I love Target! That’s all I did last time. We also have a store here called Buy Buy Baby, kind of like Babies-R-Us but more expensive. I’ve heard Amazon’s great, but I’ve never used them for a registry. There are also some consolidated online places where you can register for more than one store/site on a central registry.
I looked into BBB but I’m just not close enough to a physical store to justify it. Everyone raves about Target so I think I’ll definitely start with them. And then Amazon will probably be my online choice. I don’t know why I’ve had such a brain block in deciding.
This is my third child and I'm almost positive I've felt little movements here and there for the past week. Nothing consistent or big at all, but i've been recognizing the feeling slightly. I know it's super early (i'm only 16 weeks, 4 days) but i haven't felt those movements for the past few days at all which worries me a little...
@knottie204d6f08bc5e36bf (if you go on the knot website, you can change your user name, log out and log back in on the bump and it will update so it's easier to remember/tag you) try not to worry about not feeling movement consistently. I felt this one (my second) early too at 15+3 and it was inconsistent, and now at almost 20 weeks I feel her several times a day but the ultrasound tech commented on how much she was moving and mentioned that it'a way more movement than average. Most don't feel consistent daily movement until 20-24 weeks

@emqbee I’m a FTM so hardly an expert on baby registries or baby anything really but Amazon is great because you can add the universal button to have the option to add things from other websites to your Amazon registry. It’s a tad bit tricky to figure out at first and people will need to enter your address for those other items but might be worth considering at the very least for the free welcome box (You do have to purchase one item from your registry to get it but it can be anything that you need right now like laundry detergent).

@suzycupcake thank you for the tip! I thought there was an option to add things from other sites but I wasn’t sure exactly how that worked, I’ll keep playing with it. And I did not know about the welcome box, I will definitely be making that happen!
Thanks for the info on how to change the name! And thank you! I try not to worry, it's just hard sometimes :-) I'm ready for my next appointment in a couple weeks!
