Since I need a c section I can't go past 39 weeks. I'm half assuming that it will be 37-38 again. Yep I'm assuming **if** I go that far, I'll have my c section on October 26th

I never stopped wearing maternity pants. Real pants hurt my c section scar

Most of my pants were a size too big before getting pregnant. But I had to switch to sweats today half way through the day today.

I hate maternity pants. I'm a jeans person. No thank you to saggy pants that go up to my boobs. Not comfortable.
I've been in fold over yoga pants since I finally succumbed to dropping my jeans. I'll be back in jeans as soon as my csection scar stops being tender. Usually within a few weeks of birth.

I have been wearing leggings as pants for weeks since I'm not going anywhere. I can wear a nice looking top with them for Zoom meetings then switch to a sweatshirt when the work day's over.

I miss my regular jeans! 😭 But high rise skinny jeans and pregnancy #5 only worked for so long. I bought maternity jeans from Target when I was on pregnancy #3 and I like them better than the other kinds - they’re the ones with the “crossover panel,” so it’s not the giant, saggy tube going all the way up to the boobs. Highly recommend, if you’re in the market for any more pants. Maybe if I ever go back to work. I don't foresee that happening until after my maternity leave at this point, so I'll just schlub around in yoga pants until December.

I find it funny what work places people still put a nice top on for zoom and which don't. H is currently in a button up and tie but wearing shorts underneath running zoom interviews all day. Myself, and every single person I work with, do zoom meetings in hoodies practically in bed. I can't think of a single coworker on my sixty person weekly staff meetings who even pretended to GAF and put on a half way decent top.

It's like work appropriate or ratty huge sweatshirts. Plus I bought these work appropriate maternity tops, I'm going to get use out of them dang it.😆

H is getting dressed up every day and following the same schedule as much as possible. He has bad anxiety and routine helps him cope. He just quit taking his meds when this all started so I’m watching him like a hawk. I’ve been wearing jeans and a weekend shirt (not work, but not workout) almost every day since I’ve been taking B on walks. But today my jeans felt tighter at the end of the day.

I’ll just wear dresses. 😂😂 Normally we get two weeks of jeans in June and I’ll probably quit going into work half way through September.

Good heartbeat at 148. Made me feel a little less anxious. Also for as much as the doctor freaked and made me do an early glucose test my levels were still perfect lol

What's everyone's prenatal of choice? I've been using GNC's prenatal but it's been out of stock on Amazon the last 2 months. I know I could order directly from GNC, that's what I did last month, but I'm just wanting something different

I can't swallow the big horse pill ones, they make nauseous.

I'm the same as cnf on the gummies, usually Target brand. I'm also taking vitamin D weekly prescribed by my OB because numbers were low (thanks MN winter), but they were up at my last appointment so I can stop after this week.

I just take whatever free prenatals the pharmacy gives us lol. We get 24 months of free prenatals. I think I still have 9 months left.

I am not far enough along to be having so much back and pelvic pain already. My gosh. Right there with you. I need to start doing yoga/stretches or something. 5-ish more months to go for me. 😬 I can feel my pelvic joints grinding tonight. It's not pleasant.

My shoulders are killing me from working at the kitchen table and pushing the jogging stroller and my back down hurts from pregnancy. I’ve thought about trying to prebook for June.

I'm having more good days, but still a lot of nauseous ones, including today. I'm 19+2 and was really hoping this would be over by now!

I just showed up at my MFM for my anatomy scan and I had to have a temperature check at the entrance and got handed a mask. Man, this shit sucks.

shesellscshells I had that at my last appointment too. She kept looking over on the left side but baby was on the right and apparently pretty deep. I've also got a really strong heartbeat myself so it can sometimes almost drown out baby. It was definitely nerve wracking!
