@cmbt2 hahaha. I wouldn’t use the word comfortable. But nothing really is at that point! At least the mesh undies have some give while still keeping everything in place.
@cmbt2 our hospital didn't even offer them! I have no idea if I'd like them. They gave us the giant pads which were comfy though. With DS I stayed in my gown til we got ready to leave 😂 with DD I was back in my undies and yoga's and a loose shirt an hour after she came lol
All of you liking those awful mesh underwear things need to get off with that nonsense... I will never understand how people find those comfortable or those giant pads.
Agree! But I went Depends all the way and I know that's not always a popular answer either 😂
I’m just checking in quickly here - 22 weeks today and I’ve been so absent.
Rant: Both DDs and I have been miserably sick and got started on antibiotics today. They want me to have a chest X-ray to rule out pneumonia if I don’t feel better by Friday. Work has been insane and it’s just one of those times I can’t afford to be sick. 😔
Sorry for the half-assed check in. I promise I’ll be better when I’m better!
Sorry I’ve been scarce this week. I’ve been overwhelmed by a toddler pushing boundaries, trying to meet some deadlines before I’m out of the office for training next week, and trying to figure out whether or not I can tolerate MIL staying with us for awhile to take care of DD while I’m in the hospital and right after we get home. I’ve been finding a few minutes here and there to read your posts, but then don’t have enough time to respond to everything and feel bad about just responding to some things so... vicious cycle.
Anyway, 22 weeks tomorrow, 1 week until follow up U/S.
Rant: some guy literally pushed past me on the metro this morning to take the last seat. My belly isn’t small. I think I had smoke coming out of my ears.
Rave: When I got to work this morning, someone was giving out free candy in honor of National Candy Month.

I think anything less than those giant pads would've resulted in a blood bath 🤷♀️ The mesh panties were the path of least resistance, thus as comfortable as possible.

I bring the always overnights and haven’t had an issue 🤷🏼♀️ I just changed them every time I went to the bathroom, which was quite often with all the fluids they force you t have
@cmbt2 I plant puppy pads around my usual sitting areas once I'm home, because leaks are likely for at least the first few days. And I bleed for about 8 weeks but it slows way down after the first week. I've always had a heavy flow though.

Oh hell no...dude needs to move his ass up out of that seat. That's a pet peeve of mine, if there are pregnant ladies, older people, or disabled, then you best be standing and giving one of them your seat.
@cmbt2 I don’t get the mesh underwear thing either. Honestly after 3 kids my favorite by far are men’s boxer briefs and I’m not 100% in love with those either.
+1 for it being rough lately with my kiddo. Is it a full moon? Or is it becoming more real to them that there’s a baby coming? Ugh
My almost 4 year old has been totally acting out of character for the past week. He’s been whiney, clingy, crying over every little thing (which he is never lkke) so maybe subconsciously it is?
I think the current toddler behavior we are experiencing is combo new babies coming and age, since they all seem to be around 4. It's very unlike DS to behave the way he has been (basically just like all of yours). I have been trying to not be short tempered because he doesn't handle it well but he is sooo exhausting that I have to really really control myself. I KNOW he knows better then to act the way he has been and when I do have to get firm he shows regret immediately.
@prpl11butterfly I agree. DD is almost 2, not 4, but pushing boundaries is basically a 2 year old’s job description. I’ve also heard that it’s so normal for kids to act out and push boundaries when there’s a new baby, but also that this can start during pregnancy because they can tell things are different. So I think this is all unfortunately just par for the course.

@PenelopeSnuz77 I hope that you’re feeling better soon! ❤️
@greenbean-2 Hugs for the toddler pushing boundaries. I’ve got that going on right now too.
