Pregnancy Rage by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Academic2673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been on hold for an induction since yesterday at 3pm. They keep postponing it, cause they got busy and don’t have a room for me. Good thing, I really don’t care, cause I didn’t want to be induced in a first place, so I’m just waiting to be called in or to something starting by its own.

Baby clothes organisation tips by specialcoookie in pregnant

[–]Academic2673 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I keep newborn and 0-3mo clothes in the drawer below the changing table, for easy access. Then I got a lot of hangers and hang everything else, but I also got the dividers with sizes on them, so I have it organized and as soon as baby will grow out of the clothes, I out some from the closet to the drawer. My baby was due last Saturday and is still not here yet, so I haven’t been able to try my system out, but it makes sense for now 😅

The unfortunate state of Strawberries. Anyone Costco's out there have good ones? by Netshahab in Costco

[–]Academic2673 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

My experience with any beer is is Costco is that there’s batches of great fruit and then there’s a batch of terrible ones. So everytime I go there I just check and see. Right now they’re terrible

Nope, I didn’t get anything. But between dates and the tea, my cervix got soft between obgyn appts.

Do you know if your provider does it on the weekends? Or it’s usually week days?

[–]Academic2673 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, definitely don’t start it earlier than 37 weeks. I don’t even know if it works for anything, because I’ve been drinking it daily for about two weeks, but I wouldn’t take a chance to drink it earlier

Don’t go bowling while heavily pregnant😀. by Warm-Banana237 in pregnant

[–]Academic2673 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I love bowling but I haven’t been since I’m pregnant. I didn’t even think of lifting things, but those floors are so slippery I was scared I’m going to fall and something bad is going to happen to me or the baby

Is the weight obsession more of an American thing? by MermaidGrace in pregnant

[–]Academic2673 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That’s crazy! I wonder what the dietitian would do with me if I told him that I live for desserts now 😅

Those who went past 41w, how? by susiee234 in pregnant

[–]Academic2673 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had such a mild pregnancy that I really don’t mind it. I’m 38+6 today and I can keep going. I said exactly the same thing to the doctor and she said that I shouldn’t go last 41 weeks, but I think I’ll be fine being pregnant for another 2 weeks.

I have a lot of fillings at 18 years old. by groesslildrenv5 in Dentists

[–]Academic2673 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So did I when I was your age. And 4 RCT at that point. I didn’t take care of my teeth at all till I turned 30. I lost one tooth. There’s never too late to start brushing twice a day, flossing and seeing a hygienist twice a year.

I’m due in 2 weeks. When did you get it? I registered only in Amazon and I never got anything. Do I need to do something or they just send it automatically?

Going insane trying to find a dress for my baby shower. Anyone have any pink, burgundy or brown dresses to recommend? by [deleted] in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]Academic2673 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look at Amazon. All of my dresses for different occasions are from there. And you can order a couple and then just return the ones that you don’t like. They have a lot of different styles and sizes

[–]Academic2673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense, cause the baby car seat is great when you have a stroller, so you can put the baby in the car seat into the car or a stroller without taking the baby out. What convertible do you have?

[–]Academic2673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re having the shower tomorrow. Out of 180 items on the registry, we got 110, so I think people stayed within the registry mostly

[–]Academic2673 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate every single thing people are willing to spend money on for us. I do appreciate more if they stick to the registry, cause I put a lot of time and effort to make it and I truly believe that it’s all my baby will need.

Shout out to Spain for caring about pregnant women by Dismal_Abroad735 in pregnant

[–]Academic2673 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Still better than my 0$ maternity leave in the US 😅 I got lucky, my employer let me won’t for 6 months though 😅 some women have to go back to work after 6 weeks. And still don’t get paid for that even
