I am in the phase of my life where I'm preparing to be a mom, and clearly, my phone is listening to me because this article popped up in my Google suggestions. I will link it in the comments. I had no idea about black women being prone to death in pregnancy. I almost wish I didn't see this because now I have an unnecessary fear surrounding what should have been a happy journey into motherhood. Would you share your experiences and general thoughts about this? Just looking for some motivation!

How often and how do you exercise?

I run 4x4 intervals on a treadmill every 2-3 days, and pushups/hangups/crunches about the same, but somewhat more infrequently. Great exercises to do with little time. In winter I go XC skiing upstate at our cabin every two weekends or so.

Not the results I was hoping for this morning. Went for my first appointment before starting injections this evening. Only 9 follicles. Was told birth control can suppress some so they may just not be visible yet but feeling very panicked now despite the doctor saying it was ok for my age.

This journey is taxing.
Sending you all positive vibes ❤️

I’m ready for my embryo transfer! Date is set for next week! Very excited!! After being canceled due to COVID I was sure something else would be wrong.

My husband and I are in 2nd month of trying to get pregnant. Been on BC on and off for the last 15 years. Taking prenatal vitamins, watching ovulation, watching diet, any other suggestions?

Apple Watch or Fitbit? Does anyone have both? If you have both, do you use the Apple Watch as a regular watch and the Fitbit for working out? Just curious to see what people think. Thanks!

Any massage recs in downtown/Back Bay/Southie? Looking to go with my roommates to treat ourselves, but I also have some upper back/neck pain. Is massage envy any good or are there better options that aren’t crazy expensive?

I ended my relationship of 6 years about 3 months ago bc he said he might regret not having kids later down the line. we were always on the fence but I’m leaning towards no. It hurts so much having to walk away from an otherwise perfect relationship. Wish this was easier…

How do I figure out spending with my SO? Initially I was paying for 90% of stuff (no actual bills, just going out). I talked to her and said we need to be more even. She was never proactive. She kind of got offended but we ended on a good note to split things. It went well for a couple weeks but now it's back to normal. She never takes out her card and only venmos me if I send her the request. She lets Venmos sit for weeks before paying them. I still let a lot of things slide.

I struggle with imposter syndrome big time and want to start therapy, but I really don't want my husband to find out that I'm going to a therapist. It'd just be too embarassing. Is that awful of me?

I’ve had a really tense, emotionally exhausting week. Things wrapped up yesterday and now my body feels so strung out and exhausted. Any tips for coming down from being so strung out without relying on toxic habits and just shutting down/procrastinating? (My brain is saying “go for a run” and my body is getting stuck picking at my eyebrows for two hours) I feel like my central nervous system is on a roller coaster.

Does anyone feel so depleted after busy season/filing that you can’t move for the whole weekend after? How do you bounce back after finally crashing? I’ve been sleeping so much I can’t shake it.

And meeting new people is FUN. Laughing with friends and being yourself, away from all the drama, pain. Liberate yourself by deciding this breakup is your evolution into your best self!

3 months post breakup… I seemed to be healing well and all the sudden this week I took a huge step back and feel heartbroken all over again. For context I was in a 4 year relationship including 1 year engaged and had to call my wedding off due to his infidelity. How can I shake this? 😔

Stupid Question- We have been thinking for IVF and trying to understand with this process, is there any difference in the health and life of the child as compared to a child born without IVF. I did ask this with our doctor and he said casually its all same. This is not to question any doctor but just to really understand what is going to be different with the kid. This is not very old technology and not much studies as well.

Any tips to prolong nail polish wear? My nails chip in less than 2 days with regular nail polish. I don’t want to get gel or powder because they ruin my nails and I only want to have my nails polished occasionally.
