Um, the April BMB is open. How did we get here?!?

vampirina · August 2021

@chindimples04 we're in the third tri! I wouldn't be surprised if someone on this board has a baby (!!!!) by the end of the month 😱

@vampirina 🤯🤯🤯 so crazy to think about!!

Also that meme is the most relatable thing I've read all week 😂😂😂 Ive been living in my hideous, comfy shorts for the past two weeks...most days I have an outfit on and 10 mins later switch back into my beloved shorts and leave the dressy top on 😅 hate pants, real shorts and even dresses are starting to irritate me

chindimples04 · August 2021

@vampirina I hope for all of our sakes, no one does, but in my last BMB, almost half of the moms gave birth in April, the other half in May and one in June!

Got the bassinet all set to go for baby girl! Getting these things done makes me feel a million times better.

pizzaplz · August 2021

@vampirina I would be a little bit surprised, and I also hope that we all make it to term! I was the first to give birth in my last group, and that was three weeks early. I don't think any of us went over into August; we were pretty well split between June/July.

galentine · August 2021

We were so lucky in my last BMB (also October) to not have any super early babes. We only had 3 babies born in September, and those were all planned induction or csection. And all the rest were born before Halloween!

@madiirosee This is the uppababy right? Mine just came in too but I haven't opened the box. I have opened the stand, lol. Are you going to use this for sleep at night? I was planning to but a friend keeps trying to convince me to get a bassinet that rocks lol. I'm like - the uppababy came with the bassinet already, I don't want to purchase a separate one. What do you think?

madiirosee · August 2021

@tari_sara it is the uppababy! And guess what……… IT ROCKS! I thought I was going crazy at first, but it rocks a few inches head to toe! It’s not a lot, so maybe try it and see what you think. But I even called uppababy to see if it was supposed to do that, and she said yep! It’s for manual rocking but also to level out with baby slightly as they get bigger. How cool is that! I do plan on using it for night time sleep 😊 it’s so nice with all of the venting features, and I like the awning. Plus love how the liner and mattress are machine washable.

Can we talk about sex lives or maybe lack thereof? I was going to create a separate post buuuut figured I’ll just post here. Like am I alone in this? My sex drive has plummeted and likely because I feel hideous and I am self conscious about my body right now. Just sucks. I feel like my DH and I are missing that connection and it’s hard. I know there’s only a few months left but then obviously another wait period. Just curious if anyone else is struggling like me? 😞🤔

chindimples04 · August 2021

@k_rn21 I had ZERO sex drive my first pregnancy the entire time. This trimester this pregnancy around, my drive is through the roof, at least for me. It’s so strange! DH and I just watched sex life on Netflix and that really got me going, too.

demimondaine · August 2021

@tari_sara Start with the fewest sleep crutches possible! If you really NEED a rocking bassinet (highly doubt it) it can be there within a day or so!

galentine · August 2021

My baby has hiccups!! This was one of my all-time favorite feelings during DD's pregnancy. So special and sweet 🥰

gingermama46 · August 2021

@k_rn21 missing that connection can be so hard. I think you said that you aren't on FB, but if you are on IG, there are so many accounts that educated sex therapists have set up and half the time they're posting more about the sex and connecting in different ways too. Might be something to check out to try and get connection when you're not feeling up to DTD!

madiirosee · August 2021

@galentine where are you feeling yours?! Mine are sooooo low, must be because she’s still head down.

galentine · August 2021

@madiirosee, the hiccups I felt pretty low and off to one side. I'm not convinced my baby is head down, because I get lots of stomps to the cervix and most other movements are far on either side. So I think baby is either sideways and breech right now.

madiirosee · August 2021

@galentine woof I hear ya on those cervix stomps. That’s when I’m getting the good ol lightning crotch 😬😬

tari_sara · August 2021

@galentine My baby's head is down right now via ultrasound and I get the cervix movement too... could be punches!!

tari_sara · August 2021

@k_rn21 you're not alone. My drive is more like 10% not completely zero but surprisingly DH is more afraid than I am - he thinks he'll hurt me / baby which we know is not true. But mostly it's just hard because I'm huge and it's just tough, lol. I miss the connection too but we're both okay.
