Hell, I'm only 5'4" but most of my maternity shirts from Old Navy don't cover my panel and I wear a size L. I don't get it. Some of my Gap ones are okay, but still ride up. i don't think clothing manufacturers understand how pregnant women look. imapenguin , my new life goal is to get a laundry chute now. 5'2" over here and even though the full panel fits nicely over my belly my jeans are always falling off my behind. I'm normally narrow in the hips so the fact that I can't wear a belt doesn't help. I've been living mostly in leggings and I can't wait till the summer so that I can wear dresses. This is me too. Narrow hips, no butt, but thick thighs so they pull everything down. Leggings for life. And dresses. If I can find a way to stop the chafing at least.

MH is my designated grocery bringer inner. Lol And DD puts them away for me. It's too much. And I make it my goal to not go upstairs until bedtime lol. I usually end up grocery shopping when DH is at work so I kind of have no choice πDS now likes to pull the groceries out of the bags for me which helps a little. I just don't remember being this tired with DS π€·ββοΈ I have been going after MH is home so I can leave DS with him. I'm not supposed to pick him up, so that saves me from getting him in and out of car seat and cart. I think each pregnancy makes you lime 50% more tired than the last or something lol.

MH doesn't get home until after 8 on some nights so it's hard to find the time. I'm already dreading going grocery shopping with a newborn and a toddler. I might just do it on his days off or have the IL's watch one of the kids. I'm actually thinking of having the groceries delivered to me during the first month or two.

But since then I've used Kroger Clicklist and Shipt here and there (especially during 1st tri) and really like them both. Though I've been burned on produce through Clicklist a few times.

I've heard people mention Instacart too. Definitely worth looking into. They work out to just a few bucks extra each time you use them. But also watch product prices, they bump them up a little.

I'm actually thinking of having the groceries delivered to me during the first month or two. Yeah, MH works at home half the day so it's easy for me to leave DS if I need to. That's one thing I worry about too... taking toddler and baby in public. But I have the added bonus of my DD who is a big help, so I'll likely have her come with me for a while. Eta: we don't have any grocery delivery or pickup available here. π

I forgot to ask, how are you feeling notmoose? Thanks for asking! I'm doing alright. I've kind of gotten in a routine where I know how much rest I need and I can tell quickly if I'm over doing it. Some days are better than others and I get stir crazy, but I'm chugging along!

potatocakes, zantac helped me too-- i took it before i ate in the morning and again before bed. i mean, it didn't take away my symptoms 100%, but it did help. what i think helped a lot in combination with that was noticing my trigger foods and avoiding them. certain things would cause an immediate reaction-- the throat-constricting, shortness of breath feeling. things like chocolate, peppermint, oranges, caffeine, etc.-- so i cut those things out for a while (even caffeine!). then i got to a point where i weaned off the zantac and now i just take it as needed. oh, i also sleep on a wedge pillow at night which i think helps. try to avoid eating a few hours before bed. the point of my ramble here is make sure you're adding in the lifestyle remedies along with the meds.
