My friend just had her 10 week ultrasound and there was no heartbeat  She and her husband had been trying for almost a year before she got pregnant, too, and they were really excited. They're also about to move (like, in 2 weeks) to a new town, 4 hours from their family & perhaps 6 from all their friends where I am. So they'll be in a new place, with new jobs, without local friends & family. I can't even imagine how hard this is going to be for them. I guess I would like any input on how I can help or what I can say. I think the answer is just be willing to listen and not pushy about spending time together (They seem to want to be left alone for the time being, so I haven't even responded to the email they sent to me & our other friends with the news...).

Since I know there's crossover, you may be interested to know that the parenting thread is back. Behave yourselves.

Hastings posted:And thirdly, what is the best way to kill and hide the body of a stranger who approaches me and massages my belly without asking? I literally had a woman inject her finger into my belly button yesterday at the grocery store. I had never met her. I have always thought a nice approach would be to calmly place one's entire hand over the offender's face. When they object, say, "Oh, I thought we were playing a game where we touch strangers in ways that make them uncomfortable." I don't think I'd have the balls to do it though since I'm pretty sure the most usual reaction is simply  what the gently caress are you doing

It's just frustrating..it's as if once you're pregnant you cease to be a person...you're just a vessel.

I think she was trying to say that it's hard to do MMO things (scheduled raids etc) when you may be interrupted at any moment by the baby.

Greycious posted:Just a super quick update because I had mentioned I was nervous about my appointment today. I did lose another like 2lbs. I've lost about 6lbs total since I got pregnant. My friend was just like this when she was pregnant. Super nauseated and not interested in eating. She'd pick at some crackers or something every two hours but that was all she could do. She also lost weight during the first trimester. She got over it in her second trimester. Her baby was actually measuring big for most of the pregnancy and was born at 8lbs, 6.5oz. Thought you might want to hear about someone else in a similar situation

False positives are very, very, very rare. You could certainly still have a situation like you did previously, but you're almost certainly pregnant. Yes, don't tell any employers or potential employers. Even if you were 6 months in and huge, they'd still be doing super illegal things if they even tentatively asked about your pregnancy/impending maternity.

Stupid question. I always hear you all say "when my milk came in" and it's days after the birth. What does baby eat for the first few days? Colostrum?

Van Goober posted:So I wanted to stop lurking and say Hi Thread before I actually have this baby. I'll be 34 weeks on Saturday (due March 16th) and so far for the most part I've been having what my OB tells me is a boring, garden-variety pregnancy. At my 20 week ultrasound they told me I'm having a girl, but when I went to tear the tags off all the girly clothes we got I panicked because AHHH what if they were wrong and I can't return anything? I work at a veterinary pathology lab and they're being super careful about what cases I'm allowed to handle, but we did have a case of turkeys with chlamydia (psittacosis, which can be not so pregnancy-friendly) come through the lab, so they wanted me to take prophylactic antibiotics just in case I accidentally came into contact with them. I ended up having to call three different doctors and explain to their receptionists that yes, turkey chlamydia is a real thing, and no, I'm not a pervert.

Valdara posted:Edit: Sorry. Wrong thread. If it is actually that slow, does it need to be a separate thread? I guess it can be really hard for people who are trying to get pregnant to read about other people who are pregnant and have babies and stuff, but on the other hand, you're probably going to get more positive experiences and information from here...? I don't really want to derail this one so PM me if you have opinions.

routenull0 posted:Poking around on the internet says this is common in the first trimester, but no real reason as to why and 50% of the time, you'll never know why other than chromosome issue. Her D&C is on Friday morning unless it happens naturally before that, and we still haven't decided to have any tests done because it really doesn't tell us if we did anything wrong. It's really, really common. Most of the time people don't talk about it, but I bet you know several women who have had miscarriages. Don't be afraid to grieve and focus on the fact that it is not anyone's fault. Your wife is probably going to feel guilty and horrible and like it is her fault, and it's not an easy time for you either. Don't feel like you have to rush to keep trying, either. I have friends who were trying to get pregnant for almost a year, then miscarried at 9 weeks (or rather, it didn't grow after 6). It was really rough for them. They did finally become parents last November (a year & 3 monthsish later...). One miscarriage doesn't mean you're doomed, either.

Dandy Shrew posted:hahahaha holy crap, I'm really glad I haven't seen those. I'm doing so well losing this baby weight, that'd be a bad thing. I'm lucky my lactose intolerance is severe enough to deter me from the cadbury ice cream I saw at tesco yesterday :P Lots of babies sleep in their own rooms from early on. My two friends' daughters both have been in their own rooms since birth. I don't think that's abnormal outside of this thread or else baby monitors wouldn't be such a big thing.
