Had my first midwife appointment today!

This was just the intake appt. We went over my medical history, they asked us both a ton of questions. I had a pap smear done and I've been cramping since it happened, but the spotting stopped so that's good. (I just have a sensitive cervix, okay?! 😂)

They set me up on their app which has all the information they want me to follow over the next 7 (ALREADY?!) months.

I'm to eat 2600 calories, including 5 servings of fruit/veggies, and 60-75 g of protein EVERY DAY?! Seriously I have a full time job and there aren't enough hours in the day to eat that fucking much. I've never been someone who eats 3 full meals a day anyway. I'll try, but they're just going to have to deal with it not happening the way they want it to. I'm 5'1 and Kenneth is only 5'6, our baby is already going to be small as it is.

I go back for my ultrasound on Tuesday, I SO hope they can hear the baby with the doppler. I need this to feel real!

8 weeks and 2 days.

2600 is a lot though. I believe I read that you really only need 2300. Focus on nutritional food. But trust once food aversions end, your appetite will hit hard.

Oh don't worry lol your appetite will become a force to be reckoned with 😂 and just bc y'all are on the shorter side doesn't necessarily mean baby will be small. The food they are wanting you to eat is bc they want to ensure you and baby are getting the proper nutrients for fetal development, nothing​ to do with the size of your baby😊 good luck.

Short Luteal Phase?

I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.

I can't take it anymore! Haley (yes my 1mth old and no I wasn't able to go through this "joy" of nursing my older daughter, Molly) has been screaming non stop for 6hrs! All she wants to do is eat and I can't have her attached to me all day, everyday! She has wanted to eat every hr on the hr for the past 3hrs! I put her in her room so I don't scream at her but I just can't take it!

lillyb Good job giving ur self a break we all need them. See if maybe she will nurse
delete____ I have to commend you for stepping away, momma!! Everyone reacts to a child screaming differently and
imisssleep123456789 Ugh I remember those days. With both kids I decided to always top them off with formula.
