Diastasis recti

line progression thoughts?

Why is this so hard after a loss? I thought it was hard when I had my other babies, but it’s way harder not to be anxious once you’ve experienced loss! Thoughts on line progress? I’m 13 DPO today Top line: 8 DPO, 9DPO (premom whoops), 10DPO Bottom line: 11 DPO (my HCG was 60 when tested), 12DPO, 13DPO (this morning)

Amazon question

I’m still waiting on an item from Amazon and I order things regularly on there but just went onto my app (I’m still logged in per normal) and it’s showing I have no orders waiting and no order history?!
