@crazy3dogmom, I absolutely love Everett, definitely one of my favorites! I would also like an owlet, but hot damn those things are pricey 😱 Following to see other folks opinions! We loved our Owlet and it was a sanity saver for us. Will be using again!

Ugh I'm out of meds again. I reached out to my Dr and to the pharmacy several days ago and they've been stuck getting pre-authorization. How tf does it take that long?! I checked in again today to see what the hold up was and the insurance company was all "Oh, if your pharmacy would have just sent out for this in the first place, you'd have the coverage you need." What. All of this back and forth with the pharmacy the last few months and this was never thought of? I hate dealing with this nonsense. And also, where is my prescription?! Its still not filled.
So yay, I'm looking forward to being a puking mess tomorrow. Hopefully they get their crap together tomorrow.
/rant. I'm clearly just a little irritated with this wild goose chase. I think they're not taking it very seriously because I'm 17 weeks and it's usually chilled out by now. Alas, unfortunately not all m/s just magically disappears in second trimester 🙄

Alas, unfortunately not all m/s just magically disappears in second trimester 🙄 Are you getting zofran or diclegis scripted? Not sure if it’s helpful, but in place of prescription diclegis I take OTC unisom and B6, it’s super cheap and the same thing. I fell asleep without taking it last week and regretted it immensely the next day. Hope your nausea improves soon, it’s the worst.

I've been taking Diclegis and have tried vitamin b6 and unisom but it didn't work the same. It must need to be the exact amounts for me or something? I hope yours improves soon, as well!

DD let the cat out of the bag to her daycare teacher, and today the director approached me with congratulations. I guess it’s for the best, she put us on the waiting list for the infant room which I guess is booking out until April 2020!?!? Fingers crossed they can get us in earlier because I’ll definitely have to be back at work full time after the holidays.

I probably should’ve told them sooner, but this pregnancy hasn’t been very routine. We’re at the top of the list, so fingers crossed some moms decide to SAH or this baby gets a job.

Is there another daycare you could try in the meantime? and yes, it’s very awkward telling them so early. I made my husband deal with relaying the CP news when it happened because you literally have to tell them the moment you know to hold the spot. We live near a couple military bases, so sometimes parents get relocated or others find a daycare in their district that finally opens up (I’ve heard of some places with a 2-3 year waitlist)

My husband came through! On his drive home, he called the pharmacy and pestered them to finish everything. I now have a 30 day supply! Hopefully it's the last fill (probably, with all of the work it took to get them to approve the 30 day prescription lol).

randomosity, that's so frustrating! I'm glad your H was able to get it done for you. I went through the same thing with the pre-auth bullshit trying to get Diclegis. So annoying.

My MIL is great, but I generally don’t like relying on family for long term care. I’d consider another center, but mornings are already a bit of a shitshow with my hour commute.

Such a pain in the ass. I'm sure if most of these people realized how miserable m/s can be, there would be a much easier path to getting these meds!

Had my 16-week appointment today with a different OB because I wanted it on this Friday instead of another busier day of the week. He was fine. Doctor didn't try hard enough to find the heart beat with the doppler (even when I showed him where I can get it with my home one) and did a quick ultrasound so I saw Frisco, who looks great. However, apparently they should have scheduled my anatomy scan at my last appointment a month ago because they're completely booked until I hit 21w6d, which is literally the last day they will do one. It's giving me some anxiety so I'll ask H about it when he comes home and I'll call every few days to see if anyone cancels for an earlier appointment. Oh, and the OB said he had never heard of the "no children" rule for NT and anatomy scans and asked the assistant about it in front of me and she claims it's not a hard and fast rule, they just prefer no kids, but if I need to bring J it's fine.

For 2TM+
Have you all told your kids about the baby? My kid is 3, and I’m not planning on telling him for a while yet, but we are still only 12 weeks. I think maybe after 20 / 22 weeks if we can keep it that long? Definitely at least until 16 weeks. I’m already fat (which probably isn’t the case for you all), but I think that might make it easier for me to just not have it come up? I’m not terribly vain and have had to make peace with my current appearance until I get through this next stage of life, so I understand if people just think I’m more fat than usual.
Just adding that we also aren’t telling family for a while yet, so we’re probably just weirdos/overly anxious people.

We told our 9 year old pretty early because I stopped physically picking her up and we also wanted her to be excited and help with the announcement to family. Technically we have told our 22 month old but he understands basically nothing of it.

My only concern with waiting so long is that DS was a preemie and we’ve been warned that despite McKenna shots (sp?) and cervical checks starting at 16 weeks that this new kid could be even earlier. I want him to have enough time to get used to the idea, but not so soon that if something bad happened he’d be upset.

cateyes, yeah! I bet you’d have to tell a 9 yo pretty quickly anyway! They’re observant, and definitely better for her to know that it’s for a good reason!

Another thing I’m curious about: has anyone had separation of the bones in your pelvis (like lower-back hip coccyx area)? I had this the first pregnancy (developed 15-17 weeks) and my midwife (who was overseas) diagnosed it then but when I came back to the US it seemed like no one in my OB office had heard of it.
Anyway, I noticed it randomly again probably a few weeks ago but didn’t become noticeable daily until the last three days. I can’t sit certain ways anymore or the bones crack and hit a nerve in my tush when they shift back in place.
Anyone else know what I’m talking about?

One last random question in the middle of the night. I believe that kids are born with a personality (obviously shaped by other things throughout their lives, but you know what I mean).
I think I’m already getting different personality vibes from the ultrasound I had on Monday. DS was a stubborn little fool every single u/s and most grumpily preferred sleeping with his tiny butt to the camera, while this one was literally bouncing off the walls and doing somersaults. It was hilarious. I’m really curious to see how this LO is going to develop and what little quirks and charms s/he will have before being born. Will my ribcage be The Place To Be again? Will this little person also have incessant hiccups?
In other commentary: hope everyone celebrating Easter, Passover, or any other holidays this weekend has an enjoyable one.

roseinbloom that sounds like what is termed SPD (symphysis pelvis disfunction) here. I hope you find something that can give relief! And yes, both my boys personalities were apparent in utero. As for the hiccups, they both got them daily 🤷🏼♀️

He was just over two at the time. Even now at age 4, I don’t think it’s really clicked. DS2 hasn’t indicated he really understands either (he’s two this week)

We are telling our kids today! DD is 4.5 and will totally get it/be excited (she did at 2.5 with DS). DS is 18 months and will not understand or care

He’s on the spectrum and was only 3 when DD came (it was rough). Now he’s 6 and we’ve learned that the more previewing we can do the better. It’s also an additional reason we’ll find out the sex, we’ll need to prepare him for that. I’ve already been told “brothers only!!” I’m surprised the kids kept it quiet as long as they did, DD let it slip that she’s a big sister at daycare this week.

roseinbloom yes, I told them around 8 weeks. My older two are 6 (in a week) and almost 8 so they are very observant. Plus, I was throwing up so much for several weeks that they were starting to become suspicious of the "mommy has a stomach bug" claim so once we confirmed that the baby was okay at my u/s, we told them. They kept the secret for us very well, surprisingly!

We have had multiple miscarriages so wanted to make extra sure. We are going to tell him once we get the panorama results back, just to feel safer, but also I think knowing the sex will help him "get" it a little more. I'm still nervous to tell him, anytime we are around babies he HATES the attention they get and starts acting up. Three year olds are tough lol.

My son is almost 4 and we just told him yesterday. (I'm 15 weeks tomorrow.) I had a loss over the summer, so I wanted to feel sure about this pregnancy before I told him. We were going to wait until we found out the sex (this is a story for another post LOL) but we decided yesterday was the day. He is so excited! He's already been talking to my belly and brings up the baby all the time. I wasn't sure how he would take it, so I was thrilled by his reaction.
