I’m only 7 weeks and I haven’t been sleeping well for the last 3 weeks. I go to pee every couple hours and I can’t find a comfortable position to sleep. I’m a stomach sleeper and although I’m still able to sleep on my stomach, my boobs are sore and it hurts. Sleeping on my sides is uncomfortable and I’m trying to not sleep on my back. Anyone going through the same thing? Has anything helped? I feel like it’s too early to buy a pregnancy pillow 🥲

When in your pregnancy did you start gaining weight?

Week 6 and can hit very dizzy spells. Anyone else experience this? Is this the nausea side of morning sickness? I can’t even look at my screen let alone run a call

My boss wants be to travel at around 25-26 weeks, and I honestly don’t want to. Last time I traveled it caused some swelling in my feet and other random complications. Boss seems to have no sympathy either. It’s a long 5 hour flight even if it does end up being a smooth trip. Plus, once I’m there lots of extra time in cars and traffic.

Please give me remedies for acid reflux. Tums just isn’t cutting it anymore. Did anyone else have really bad acid reflux and do something/eat something/take something besides tums that worked ?

26 weeks pregnant and I’m really struggling. Fatigue ,back pain that extends to my leg and feels numb , unending hunger. I’m working from home but I’m not productive at all. I can’t nap because i know i must be working and people will look for me so that distracts me. I feel bad to take sick leave because I’ve already taken loads. Any advice is appreciated

If your company has miscarriage leave, what are the downsides of sharing your pregnancy before your 2nd trimester? I always assumed it was because you wouldn’t want to share the loss but with companies that make accommodations it seems like it could be a safe place to share.

Has anyone done CVS or/and Amniocentesis? How painful? Thanks!

Do pregnancy weigh ins stress anyone else out? I do prenatal yoga / walk most days and eat mostly healthy, but definitely allow myself to indulge here and there - yet my weight goes up a little more than the recommended range, and I find myself consumed by anxiety that I’m going to ‘get in trouble’ at OB appts

How do you tell your employer?
Send an email and video chat?

Hi! 26.5 weeks and already feel done. Gonna be a long 3 months from here.

We just found out we’re pregnant with twins! Definitely a shock, but we are excited. Anyone here have twins and/or willing to share tips? I’m only 9 weeks so still have a long ways to go. Thankfully my firm has a generous maternity leave policy. Obviously I have not broken the news to my firm yet; however, I’m already experiencing guilt for highly litigated matters that I’m on and know when my leave would start is a few months out from trial - anyone else feel this work guilt?

When I was taking a walk earlier, a big dog suddenly ran out of a house and ran straight towards me. I was very scared, so I quickly turned around, and the dog pushed me on my back. I emailed the doctor to see if I should go in for a check. Meanwhile, I am wondering what I can do. The neighbor didn’t say sorry or anything. What is something is wrong and the neighbor should be responsible? Thanks

Random thought. I would describe the tiredness you feel in pregnancy like a heavy stone tied to you that just drags you down and you’re too tired to care or try to fight it.

For me it’s not super constant or frequent but when I get that tired I feel like I become part of my mattress. 😂😴

Here 28 weeks pregnant and tired of hearing you would need to do this for better lactation, you would have sleepless nights. Can a new mother not figure out on her own with the right scientific knowledge ? Is it important to go by what your parents , in-laws or known ones tell you ?

Venting moment: can we discuss how every symptom is either “you’re miscarrying/dying” or “totally normal pregnancy symptom” and there is no in between? Crazy cramps? Either ectopic/dying or normal because hormones. Sudden horrible back pain? Either miscarriage or totally normal because hormones.

I am going in for the NIPT tomorrow. A bit nervous, for those who have done it how long did it take to get back?

Hi folks, need your help! Just found out that we’re pregnant (we were not actively trying so kinda surprised 🙈). What brand prenatal vitamins would you recommend? I’m seeing mixed suggestions on Folic vs. Folate - which one is important?

Please guide me and let me know if there is anything else I need to do at this moment. I’ve contacted my OB as well. I’m so worried. Thanks!

Anyone have experience renting a hospital grade breast pump? Did you feel it was worth it? Which one did you get? Pregnant with twins and hearing advice to go for it, given you need twice as much
