Postpartum Bridesmaid Dress Size

I am starting to dress shop for my friend’s June 2025 wedding and I wanted to get some guidance on what size I should buy.

Cutting off

Apparently confiding in my mom with my medical information and pregnancy complications means to tell the entire fucking world even when I asked for it to not be shared. Welp looks like next update she gets is when I’m in labor.

Within 5 min time frame- shadow?

Have put the one out of time frame (1hr later) in comments- it got much darker. Horrendous cramping today too. I know the second one technically isn’t valid but is this likely to be a really early positive instead of an evap?

What does this mean?

Hi everyone, tests taken at about 10 and 12DPO. The line seems to have gotten a bit lighter. Should I be worried. The lines are soooooo faint

Baby #2???

So, my hubby and I had originally planned on starting to try for baby #2 some time this winter. Except now, I'm honestly kind of scared. I'm a type 1 diabetic, in my late 30s, so I'm already high risk. I just keep worrying about if, God forbid, I experience complications, will I get the medical care I need? Anyone e...
