What’s on your mind this week?
Re: Randoms: Week of 3/2-3/8
Also, remember states decide to do a state of emergency to get more funding and supplies to the state, doesn't really mean we need to do anything or act any differently.
I found this video helpful to understand how the virus is contracted: https://www.facebook.com/cece.shatz/videos/10221612808452210/UzpfSTE1NTk3NTQ0NTg6MTAyMjEwMTg0NjA4MDIxMDE/
Hand washing and avoiding public spaces for now. It is most impactful to people who already have compromised lungs.
Then this morning, on my way to work, I was sideswiped by a Ford F150 that encroached into my lane. It was two lanes turning left, he was in the left-hand left turn lane and I was in the right-hand left turn lane. He swung wide and I laid on the horn (as did the other drivers). I was at a near dead stop when he hit me, and I even made eye contact with his passenger as he hit me. He almost drove off but I was waving at them to pull over, so they did. Turns out he has no drivers license, is here on an expired worker's Visa from Honduras, and has no insurance. He also was wearing earphones while he was driving (I have a witness). So yeah. I'm pissed. And am seriously considering getting an attorney since I'm pregnant, etc.

I am wrestling with extreme hunger followed by extreme nausea after I eat, so that's been fun. I'm trying to navigate the relationship with my Intended Mother- she so kindly asks me how I'm feeling often and I feel bad telling her that I feel crappy, but I also don't want to lie. I can only imagine the types of feelings she is having through this process and I'm trying to be really mindful of that, but it's hard to know where the line is!

Also, is anyone else having issues with threads looking like they have been updated with replies but they have not? I am missing stuff because I see older things and scroll until the end but sometimes I don't see some replies. UGH.
Anyways @babyodo that sounds like a rough time indeed, and how scary about the accident! I was hit on the passenger side by an uninsured drunk driver 6 yers ago, on a Sunday morning at 11am! It was so scary. Is insurance/the cops being helpful in setting up next steps?
I keep thinking that there's always something going on when I am pregnant. I was supposed to go to a conference next week as one of the panelists but it has been postponed to when I will be 38.5 weeks pregnant...so it's pretty certain I won't be able to attend. So bummed!
@morethanamama Yes, my threads are all doing weird things as well. Whenever I post it shows that as an unread post, which seems odd and unnecessary.
@dedioni No shame in the maternity pants. I’m definitely not showing at almost 6w, but I had started to notice that I was getting a little mild cramping only when wearing tighter pants. I bought a pair of maternity pants and I am already more comfortable!

I am definitely showing early. I am not sure if this is an everywhere problem, but no physical stores in my area have maternity clothes. They have all shifted to online. I am plus-sized and so I was hoping to try some things on to get an idea of what size I would need to feel comfortable. I didn't want to have to ship things back if they don't work. I ended up ordering Old Navy because at least I can return to the store if whatever I picked doesn't work. I am not a huge leggings person and finding work clothes has been a nightmare.
@homeport17 I'm not sure if there is a book, but it's a good idea to look for one! I'll have to do some research.

Oh, and as far as clothes fitting tighter goes - I'm right there with y'all. I live in my yoga pants at home. I'm 7+3 today, and have a feeling I'll have to transition to either bigger pants, leggings, or maternity pants by the end of next week. I weighed myself and while I haven't gained any weight, my clothes are fitting more snug, so that's weird.

@tdevlindrye I am not in Florida but I live in Washington in the same county where all the deaths have been, and I would be lying if I said I wasn’t a little worried. We were planning to go tour the maternity center at the hospital where all the people have died, and we’re putting that off for now. I feel like I am doing pretty well avoiding the full-blown panic the media is encouraging, but I am definitely being more cautious about going out, touching things in public, etc.
