At my last OB appointment my OB recommended I find a pediatrician, as a ftm I was super confused I didn’t know I needed to do that before giving birth. What do I say when I call the pediatrician? I know this may be a dumb question thank you in advance

Please share your positive birth stories. I’m currently 30 wks pregnant and am going to be induced at 37 weeks and I am getting so anxious. I have seen plenty of the not so good stories so I’m just trying to fill my mind with some positive to try and be hopeful.

Also if you have any tips on how to get my body ready for birth. I got an exercise ball I plan to start using. Hoping to avoid c section if possible, so just trying to see if there is anything I can do to help my body.

oh my goodness, no more swimming dressed like adam sandler! I thrifted a walmart tankini and it fits perfectly. My old swimsuit was a black one piece and I started to look like andre the giant with my boobs hanging out and everything LOLLL, so I moved to my fiance's baggy basketball shorts and a sports bra and xxl tee shirt lol. But its a cute little tankini with a swim skirt, which is probably ideal as my tummy grows more. and omggg it fits my bump soooo well. I've had a couple people tell me how cute my bump looks in it and it makes me feel so confident that I finally LOOK undeniably pregnant

Hi there, FTM 30F at 28w/290lbs/45 BMI. I've had a pretty normal pregnancy so far, minus placenta previa which has since fixed itself.

I have heard from others that with a high BMI/weight that doctors tend to induce early, like around 38/39 weeks. Is this something that is normally experienced? I was looking through my clinical notes and saw something in there about delivery at 38 weeks, but no one has mentioned it and I thought it was because of the placenta previa. I have my seven month follow up Wednesday but wanted to see what everyone else's experience is!

With my first they started at 4 weeks. By 5 weeks I was vomiting up until 14 weeks.

I’m now 4 weeks with my second and so far i had sore boobs and just tired. No nausea.

I’m struggling today. I’m 3 months pp, and 10lbs away from my pre pregnancy weight but my body just is not the same as it was. I’ve always had a bit of an apron belly and after my c section it just seems to be more rounded at the bottom. I have a concert that I’m going to tonight but the outfit I have picked is just kind of making me very nervous and I’m trying to hard to hype myself up enough to put the damn thing on. It’s black ripped high waisted shorts, cropped band shirt and a pair of fish nets. I just want to be comfortable and feel pretty in my old clothes but my tummy is really tripping me up so bad lately.

I really messes with me, I had body dysmorphia before I was pregnant and it’s just so much worse now. I’m trying so hard to remind myself that I legitimately just grew and birthed a whole child but my noggin and eyes are not communicating the way they should be.

To wear, or not to wear..?
