C section wise - take the pain meds so you can get up and move around if that’s your thing. I wanted to be mobile so I could be in the NICU.

I lost my first born son during labor at 38 weeks, and didn’t get to bring him home. I’m currently 10 days into the NICU with his younger brother.

It’s hard. The grief is honestly…. Much worse the first week. Wounds reopen and seep. I cried a lot thinking of all the things we were experiencing were also things we lost out on with our first.

Take it easy every single day. Give yourself grace. Remember with deep love is deep grief, both can be true. You can honor your first and love your second.

Please please reach out if you need anything.

What helped in terms of advocating and playing the game - were you able to figure out better feeding methods?

Omg you had seen it first? Wow 😮 🩵

Update!!

Drawn 4/28, Received 4/30, Natera. I got results 5/6 at 10am, low risk baby boy 🩵

Sample received 4/30, called Natera and they said it went to Texas soooo I’m accepting the fact that I won’t get mine before Mother’s Day 😭

Ahhhh! Congratulations!

Natera Panorama, sample taken 4/28, received on 4/30. My doctor said she thinks they ship to California vs Texas.

Anxiously refreshing hourly!

Expresso instead of espresso.

Is Panorama faster than the Horizon test?

How do you all know which lab they were sent to?

I’m temping and pdg testing — I think I’m on Day 7.

I take a prenatal yes!

I swear I confirmed my ovulation - maybe it was 7 days ago then? I’m counting my ovulation as the day after my LH peak.

Yeah, there’s a chance, I was on estrogen and progesterone for a month and a half before trying and didn’t have a really good grasp on my cycle.

I use Inito though so I figured it would be accurate. I’ve only ever tested positive earliest at 8DPO

This reminds me so much of Taylor Swift’s Wonderstruck!

That’s good to know 💗 Can I ask about fertility after?

I signed one just to avoid him pestering us. But he went after my husband “oh you don’t vote? Are you even a citizen? Your wife votes for you?”

Pretty plzzzzz tell me too

I’d argue he has never laughed harder haha

But it makes sense. They don’t have kids. Their demo doesn’t really have kids 🤷‍♀️
