Also, you'll want a provider to do a urine dip periodically, especially later pregnancy. It's sometimes the only way they catch HELLP- not everyone has high blood pressure
Mine told me that they will take a sample every single time I am in there so if I feel like I have to go when I am waiting to let them know so I don't explode.
Mine did and does as well. I was actually surprised last time that it isn't always done nor do all offices do it at all. I have an aunt that had HELLP for two different pregnancies and they only caught it because of urine dips. She had perfect BP through both pregnancies, too. So, them being done is a big thing I advocate for because, while its rare to develop it, it needs to be caught
PSA: Old Navy has 50% off jeans, including maternity jeans this weekend.
I was totally shopping at work earlier today and spent about $75 on tops. Not ready for maternity jeans. I lost 10/15 pounds before I got pregnant so I will hopefully fit in those jeans for a while and I plan on wearing a lot of leggings. I really only need 2 non work outfits a week because of my uniform so I'm not terribly worried.
Also - pink blush has 30% off with labor day and I did find some SUPER CUTE stuff on there.
Belly bands!
Says the girl that hates maternity clothes and refuses to wear them unless absolutely necessary. I made it to third tri before I had to wear a pair of maternity pants and I plan on going that long this time as well.

I bought one the other day because my work pants were tight - this was because I grabbed an old pair not because of baby belly or bloat. I will need to upsize on the belly band when I have to use it for real.

I pretty much wear skinny jeans to work every day. So I figure at some point I'll have to give in and buy a pair or two of maternity jeans. So I might as well catch them on sale. Although the I will buy more maternity tops because I think they help with the "fat/pregnant?" dilemma. I forgot about pink blush. I'll have to peruse that one this weekend. I also have $20 to spend at JCP. I'm the queen of getting gift cards and rewards so I plan on clothing myself during pregnancy in mostly free clothes haha.

Maybe we have the same OB! LOL
LOL. I'm seeing MWs this time around but I saw an OB for DS. I loved my OB. If I didn't move 3.5 hours away, I'd still be going to him! Alas, that's too far away especially for the weekly visits at the end. The MWs also do dips, from what I saw and was told

I fold them down. I can't stand the feel of the panels on my belly.. Mine are from target but they changed their style. I don't care for the new ones with the silicone thingy. I prefer without, TBH but it's fully preference. I think buybuybaby also carries them?
As to where to buy clothes, the majority of mine came from Kohl's and I ordered online since it was a better selection. Just order during the 15/20/30% off time because, if you have the store card, you can find codes to go straight to 30% off and get free shipping.

Also, use ebates!!
Yeah I'm not a fan of that silicone line thing. It was weird.

I ordered these and they were supposedly delivered today. They look like the old style target ones (I only had one and it got pretty icky and falling apart by the end): www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00LM7IZSY/ref=ya_st_dp_summary

Both my midwives had/have a system where you walk straight to the bathroom as soon as you get there to do a dipstick. Couldn't imagine having to wait for that. They check sugars and protein every time.
mustloveerica - I don't think I could use the name, but I would probably keep it on the table until closer to the due date with high hopes of a permanent split
Daycare was closed today so I have a four day weekend. We got up and came out to my husbands bosses farm. Let our puppies play and pet the kitties.
We just went to a small town diner for lunch with the best grub, and two desserts to take home.
I seriously need to get some maternity pants soon. Mine still fit, but have gotten uncomfortably right after meals this past week. I have some belly bands, just need to figure out where they are.
Oh no, target changed their bands? Wonder what kind of condition my old one is in.
I.love.potstickers. I now need some ASAP.
Yeah, they now have a silicone band at the bottom which annoys me to no end and doesn't work for me. My old one was shredding pretty bad since it was the only one I had so I figured I'd replace it since I'll use it as long as possible. Imagine my shock to discover they changed their design when i opened it (it's on the packaging but who really pays attention to that lol)

Last time- "Hi, I have an appointment." "Name?" (Insert name) "You're all set. Do you want to leave the sample now?" LOL

The guy that sits behind me is fairly new and there's something about him that just irritates me to the core. I don't know if it's because he's super duper nerdy and has to ask how I am and what I'm working on every time I make accidental eye contact with him. Or if it's that he wears clothes too big for him and his tie never matches his shirt. Or that he wears a tie at all when we are a jeans/casual company. Or that he STINKS of cigarettes constantly. But he's been humming all day.

It's making me grind my teeth in anger.
Fucking. Stop. Humming. People can hear you.
I can't decide if the smoke smell or humming is the worse offense. Both are terrible.
For the ppl that can't let themselves get to hungry, what happens? I got super hungry, then it turned into the worst stomach ache. I expected it to be a sick/nauseous feeling if u got hungry (pregnancy related), not a stomach ache. Just seeing if this is even pregnancy related. Don't remember any of that from the first.
Advice or commiseration on feeding the toddler veggies? I pretty much vomit on sight of any of her usual options. Pouches I guess? I hate feeling like my ms is making her diet worse .
Eta: bfing and trying to maintain supply, which I think takes all the drugs of the table, but not sure.

Yeah, it's pregnancy related. I've been getting this this time around which is different from last time

pouches , they work wonders. However, I can't say much because my kid usually just eats yogurt for dinner anymore (we do offer actual food but he just wants his yogurt pouches, sigh)

Damn. Guess I'll be packing the work bag heavier next week.
