smile.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B072B8X4G2?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_pd_titlenotagoddess these! I vacillated between size L and XL for so long. Must reviews say order a size up from your pre pregnancy size, and I was wearing M but barely lol... Pleased that the L fits great, There's really more room in the bum than any underwear I've worn. Ever since working at a donut shop in high school with a pregnant supervisor who sang the praises of over the bump undies, I'd planned to get those, but my tummy is so sensitive plus I thought it would get bunchy with OTB undies under OTB jeans. Granted I'm still in first trI so who knows. Just got a five pack for now. This is a good point. I haven't worn mine under OTB pants yet, only under dresses. They feel fab under a dress.

I had a ridiculous, vivid dream last night that I gave birth to twin girls instead of the one boy I’m currently carrying. I kept asking my OB, “How is this happening??” She told me that I received the wrong NIPT results, and all of my ultrasounds must have missed the twin. So then I was nursing TWO babies and trying to think of names (IRL, we could not agree on girl names at all), and MH kept insisting on these outrageous names and all I wanted to do was sleep...whew. I really hope that dream does not repeat itself.

Ugh. Having a cold while pregnant has got to be the worst. I'm sneezing a ton and its flaring up some RLP. The worst. I just want to take some drugs. And stop the snissing.

I was the pregnant lady at Whole Foods this morning with the screaming toddler, quickly stuffing cookies and pastries into a box 😬🙉.

I never even thought of maternity underwear lol
I’m feeling kind of morning sick again today for some reason. But I was laying on the couch and I swear I felt a little nudge. I’m only 16 weeks so I don’t know if I really did 🤔 anyone else feeling baby yet?

Nothing consistent but it definitely was movement. Also maternity underwear are so worth it. Also good for post partum if you have a C-section. I also have some that are the Warner brand of regular under wear in a style called "no more muffin top" that are really comfy right now.

I am also having some lingering morning sickness. I am also recovering from a stomach bug, so it is hard to say which is the cause. I am for sure not feeling as good as I was.

I’m only 16 weeks so I don’t know if I really did 🤔 anyone else feeling baby yet? I’ve also never tried maternity underwear. Now I think I need to! The over-bump shaping would be nice with dresses. It definitely could have been movement! I’m fairly certain that I felt movement yesterday, and I’m only 14 weeks. It was a ticklish feeling, like a little fish flopping. Definitely not gas or anything I’ve felt before. But I have an anterior placenta (again...ugh), so he must have been positioned just right. I doubt I’ll be feeling much else for a few more weeks at least.

strawberrykiki I’m 16 wks too and just started feeling some definite moving! I was so anxious to start feeling the baby. I was starting to feel stagnant. I find myself just sitting and staring off into space just enjoying these little pops! Can’t wait until they get more frequent and intense. Although I’ll be eating my words once the baby starts jumping on my bladder 😂

I think I felt movement around 16-17 weeks with my first, 14 weeks with my second, and I've felt some pops in there that *might* be baby since about 13 weeks this time. Sorry for everyone feeling a bit sick lately! It's nothing compared to 1st tri level sickness, but I've been dealing with some occasional nausea the last few weeks as well. This has been me as far as movements are concerned over each pregnancy. I definitely started feeling movements last week and today they are noticeably stronger (14w tomorrow).

strawberrykiki that's exciting!! I've felt something like my heart flopping in an elevator but very low down, for about a week I think. But only occasionally. I noticed it because it was a feeling I'd never felt before, but I think now that I'm used to it, it's so slight that I have a hard time making it out. I asked the sonographer at our nuchal scan if it's possible or if I'm crazy and she said baby is in just the right spot to be easy to feel so she voted yes! Honestly it's more stressful than exciting for now I think until it's a regular reliable thing...

I felt my first movements at 16+4 with my first baby. Second one I was 13+3. This one I was pretty sure I was feeling in week 12, but I recorded it in my diary as 13+3 because on that day I was totally certain!
At almost 18 weeks though it’s still not a regular thing. I feel it maybe 2-3 times a day. I’m looking forward to it being more frequent!

I had anterior placenta last time and didn't feel any movement until 21 weeks. But I think I felt some little flutters on Monday, at not quite 14 weeks. It's hard to say for sure though.

Alright... what should I do if Metamucil and probiotics aren't working? It's been 5 days since I last pooped. What is the next step? Prune juice?
I did not deal with this during my last pregnancy. So freaking uncomfortable.

Prunes, stool softener and all the water? Sorry 😞 Is Colace fine during pregnancy? My dr. okays colace, Metamucil, milk of magnesia, citrucil, senokot, fibercon and miralax. I took colace PP and while nursing but never pregnant.

notagoddess Colace was miraculous for me post surgery. I read it's ok during pregnancy. Instead of 2 capsules I would take one at a time but 5-6 times per day and it made it easy to go but not TOO easy. My OB has me drink 16 8oz glasses of water a day which felt crazy at first but now that it's a habit I find it works great... Keeps away headaches and constipation. One day I was lazy about it and ended up struggling the next day... DH swears by a serving of prunes every morning. I find dried apricots work the same for me and I like them better. Good luck!!!

Oh also... Dairy can be very constipating if you're eating dairy?

sunshiney, I took Colace post-childbirth and it was amazing. I haven't tried prunes/prune juice yet, so I think that will be next. I think I also need to increase my water intake.

I know lots of water helps. I am really struggling to drink enough. I am just not a big drinker in general and don’t feel thirsty most of the time.

Last pregnancy I actually had the opposite problem thanks to active IBS. Glad to be avoiding that but this is no fun either.

I don't feel anything but this is too early for me, I think I didn't feel anything until at least 18 weeks with my first and 21 with my second due to anterior placenta. I do get phantom pregnancy movements when not pregnant from digestion though! 😜

notagoddess Another vote for colace. It's on my list of safe meds from the OB, and I've taken it a few times with this pregnancy. I've been eating fiber gummies every day for the last couple of weeks, and they're helping so far.

Another thing that's starting earlier with this pregnancy are the Braxton Hicks contractions. I'll be going about my day, not really thinking about being pregnant, and... oof, there's a reminder that something's going on in there! Me TOO. Glad I'm not the only one. I know with DS2 they started earlier than with DS1 but I don't remember it being this early -.-
