Try drinking homemade smoothies! Maybe they’ll be heavier and require less consumption or just take longer to finish so you can sip slowly, while still providing hydration.

All sounds normal!

Don’t want to alert you un-necessarily but excessive thirst is a symptom of diabetes. Hopefully you don’t have it but may be worth to get it checked.

Generally, or in pregnancy? I definitely do not have diabetes. Excessive thirst is a common pregnancy symptom. My doc said its normal. It just sucks. Haha

Feeling really nervous, help! I’ve been using topical hydroquinone 4% since before I found out I was pregnant.

I’ve been helping couples navigate the challenges of infertility for over 20 years now. Recently, I’ve noticed more couples feeling apprehensive to continue treatment because they are worried about potential repercussions if they miscarry during the IVF process. Honestly, I’m not sure how to reassure them because I also feel afraid, but I just want to continue supporting these wonderful couples & families. I would be heartbroken if they ended up suffering more because of their treatments. I’m just feeling so conflicted & sad today after meeting with a couple who decided to postpone treatment.
