out of control day
Just having one of those "feeling like my life is spinning out of control days." Pretty sure I've gained 5 pounds already today from all the stress eating. Just ate a quarter of a chocolate cream pie all by myself, now I feel like I need to take a nap. God, I hate these kinds of day. That's all, just needed to tell someone.

countdown to baby!! Goals & hopes!
Hi! I'm excited that I'm down to 19 weeks! So far I've gained 5lbs but the scale is hanging at 2 more lbs. I'm going to wait a few more days but really hope it's just fluctuation.

Are these contractions??? FTM?
I was due yesterday. I started having, what I think to be contractions but I'm not quite sure. It feels like bad period pains that are low in my pelvis. They last for only a few moments, around a minute but they are really sporadic, like 7minutes, 15 mins, 25 mins, 7 mins apart etc. Am I crazy or maybe this is the…

Breast Feeding Storage Bag Question
Hello! I learned a few tricks with my first baby about breast milk bags and how I can just use a hole punch on the Lansinoh bags to use with the Medela pump, it saved me $$$ in the long run, but now I recently saw that Target has their own brand of breastmilk storage bags! Has anyone tried them? Or does anyone have any…

Bit freaked after bleed
I had a bleed yesterday. We went to the hospital and all is well. The problem is I walked more and carried more yesterday than usual (normal steps per day= 10,000-12,000; steps yesterday = around 14,000), so I'm worried I need to slow down. That sounds easy enough, except that I have GD, which I am trying to control via…
