As a mom, I do not feel limited by what I can and cannot do bc of my little one. Yes I have less time but they grow quickly and become more independent.
My wants have changed, now I want to do activities that he enjoys like playing music, swimming, or going to the beach.
I have traveled slightly since becoming a mom but the trips and places visited have been even more cool and fun. We stay longer and it takes more thought and care to pack. Where I might have decided on a quick trip before, now I am more thoughtful in my travel plans. ✈️
Regarding the focus change, think of it as your focus expands. 🌱

The bullish market will be starting in 15 minutes. Come and support some nostr merchants!
On the farm, do you like eating the raw pods now? Or do you prefer the cacao beans dried/ground and mixed with hot water?
I believe they are shipping everywhere! @Palameraaa can confirm.
Hi plebpoet! What wonderful news. I am so happy for you. Trust in yourself and the divine is essential for this process. ❤️ You sound calm and confident. I carried much anxiety during my first trimester. Learning about birth (podcasts, movies, books) and daily mantras helped me. Such as "I am everything my baby needs", "my baby is strong and healthy". 🐣
I also had some uncertain ultrasounds. For my next pregnancy, I think I will skip them completely. 😌
Pregnancy does not equal fragility although listen to your body cues. I was rock climbing until about 20 weeks! I did experience some fatigue/lightheadedness as my blood volume increased. Take care to hydrate in the heat. 🌡️
I am so happy you are reading Ina may guide to child birth!!!! Check out the birthing instincts podcast. 🥳
I encourage you to consider a homebirth with a midwife. Start with watching some YouTube homebirth videos, they are beautiful. ✨ Do you plan on having a doula? My midwife recommends one for all first time moms.
Lastly, do you plan on getting a birth certificate?
Check out my recent spring hike!🌼

For the hike, I applied sats pit by @Palameraaa in the AM and it worked amazing! No smell 👃 after spending a hot and sunny day outdoors! ☀️

Playing with the idea of sending things to meetups as well. Do you attend meetups in the Ohio/Michigan/Pennsylvania area?
Hi @plebpoet, early scans (like your 8 week ultrasound) can be very inaccurate. Each ultrasound tech measures things differently, and yet decisions are sometimes made for no good reason other than 1 millimeter variation. The MDs reading the scans are constantly searching for something to be wrong.
On my 20 week scan they said I had a "short cervix" which can lead to many issues. After a rescan, it measured normally. I did not receive any other ultrasounds in my pregnancy bc I found the anxiety they caused wasn't worth it. I would rather let the greater plan unfold whatever that may be.
I am unsure if I will consent to any ultrasounds in subsequent pregnancies.
Have you searched for any home birth midwives outside of the hospital system? It is not too late to find a new birth team that would support you in how you desire to proceed with your pregnancy. I switched midwives at 32 weeks and everything worked out very well. If midwife isn't an option, than at least a doula can be of help - they have seen and know how the situations unfold ...
I believe Katie the Russian is in the Austin area and she is plugged into the home birth community and could likely make a recommendation. Even doing a few midwife interviews may help you learn more to see what approaches they take in your situation.
You are everything your baby needs. You are strong and your baby is healthy.
💪👶🧡
