I’m going back to my weekly yoga class tonight for the first time since finding out I’m prego. I’ve been waaay too exhausted and frankly I think this might be the end of me. Lol. But we’ll see how it goes. I’d like to keep practicing yoga through at least 30 weeks but I dunno man. With my second kid I couldn’t keep going because reflux was so bad that any pose with my head below my stomach, or in line with my stomach and horizontal had my stomach acid climbing up my esophagus. TMI. But seriously. It totally took yoga out of the equation.
AND I have a stress fracture in my right foot so I can’t use my treadmill or even walk the kids around the zoo. The lack of exercise is killing me.
@HGRich, OUCH! 😬 That sounds awful! I separated my shoulder ligaments in July and it was so painful, but I was beyond thankful that it wasn't an injury that I had to walk around on. Hang in there and allow yourself to heal!
I started a weekly boot camp like class the day I got my first positive test. It's been going pretty well so far. First class I was pretty out of breath, so I took it slow. This week other than my boobs hurting when I ran, it was ok. I'm just being aware of how I'm feeling and careful to not go too hard. I think exercise has been great for me though overall!
The waiting is really strange. It's like I can't quite fully embrace that this is definitely happening... but in the meantime each week is bringing new physical symptoms and feelings and thoughts about what is coming next and it's indicating that this IS definitely happening!
@stress_engine exactly!!! Every day I feel my lower abdomen to see if I can feel my uterus popping out yet and nothing really so far! But I’m still getting nauseous/food aversions so I’m 🤞🏻 Baby is growing away in there. I’m sure our appts will be here before we know it!
I had an ultrasound on Friday early to determine if it is another cesarian ectopic and it looked like the gestational sack was in the correct place. I will have another scan in 2 weeks to ensure the baby is developing as it should since it was too early to be seen at this point. I want to cry from relief but at the same point with my history nothing feels safe anymore. It is going to be a long to weeks.
My registry is pretty much done except for baby girl clothes. I have to go through my sons baby clothes and see what I have that I can use for her. Add some cute bows/headbands and we can make most boyish clothes work! But it will be hard to resist all the cute girly outfits so I’ll have to get some 🥰 I’m not expecting another shower, but I’m using it as my own personal list and for something to send people If they want to get us something.
There’s a few things I’m not reusing because I didn’t care for them, so I will have to be getting some bigger ticket items because we tossed them. I’m excited for us to do more product spotlights because as a STM I’ve definitely found out what works and doesn’t work & I can’t wait to share some knowledge! It helped a lot hearing opinions from seasoned moms when I was a FTM. and that concludes my random ranting into the void 🤣
I go back on Thursday for another scan I am so hoping we see baby growing and I can finally breathe a slight sigh of relief but so far it looks like we avoided another cesarian scar ectopic which is what I was most nervous about!
@stillcozy great news!! I honestly never heard of those before!
I hadn’t either before I had it. We actually missed it until I was hemorrhaging because it caused a uterine rupture and I almost died. I hadn’t even known I was pregnant at the time. I hated being treated like a medical rarity. Hearing over and over how rare it was made it me feel worse. Tonight is wave of light for pregnancy and infant loss month and man my grief and anxiety about this baby are so high. Thursday cannot come soon enough!
