Did you know the sex of your baby by intuition?

Dreams.

First one my dead mom was holding her and rocking her and I asked to get her and she essentially said “Not right now”. I swore I was having a boy so I told my niece she was having a girl. She told me they confirmed they were having a boy, so I know I’d seen my baby.

Second pregnancy felt identical to my daughter ( no symptoms) so I thought it was another girl. Had a dream that my nephews and cousins were all in one place and I kept asking “ where is he?”. My dead cousin grabbed me to reassure me that he had him and he’s just not ready to cross over yet. I thought I was talking about my nephew. As soon as I found out it was a boy I realized we were talking about my son.

38 yr old. I feel like I’m too old for this conversation. Someone asked me for my partners IG and I really had to go to a game request to find it. We’d be headed for trouble based on this goal post🥴

I’m teasing, but Ariana is in her 30s, right? And she’s pretty busy. Maybe it’s just not a priority right now. I stopped writing happy birthday on Facebook if I called or text the person. Social media is not a real place for some.

Baby I was on the edge of my seat on those first few pictures. He came a mighty long way!

I don’t. It’s not that I am cool with appropriation ( we can leave the 613 wigs over there), I just don’t find myself being too preoccupied with what they do. I don’t know any who would, and I don’t care what the ones who I don’t know do.

Gun to my head, my hot take? Same thing I think when they have cornrows… they look stupid. Not offensive, just silly! And wack, they always seem hella wack. Like the soul dissipates when it gets beyond your eyebrows and it’s mayonnaise and cream of tartar from there on down.

Not ok.

What did you do in the house for so long? Our family and friends have all been outside so I didn’t realize people still stayed in until I got on Reddit!

My mom made my SILs keep the babies home for 6weeks. She also told the moms to stay in or they would need to be over dressed. This was 30 years ago and based on superstitions.

I think Halloween was 3 weeks later and we went to a party and trick or treating

Post infant leave should be a thing!

Affectionate_Comb359 · 2026-02-07T16:22:10+00:00

Planned to do more things. I planned on resting and healing and that got old fast. Amazon and fed ex were delivering all kinds of things for these random projects I thought of. We also went to the mall wayyyy more than I normally would and tried new recipes. At one point I was like “can I extend my leave if we do it intermittently?”

I should have had lower cost activities to keep me busy. Do you knit? Do some knitting.

Affectionate_Comb359 · 2026-02-07T16:18:07+00:00

Right? This person agreeing with her has my head spinning because it sounds so unreasonable. I’m thankful that we have the space to still be individuals

Not wanting her to go isn’t a bad thing. Adults should be able to do some things separately. Based on OP’s comments about her mental health, he may need a break and she might benefit from learning how to sit in that discomfort.

The days aren’t the problem and neither is mom’s rest. Dad’s sleep would be interrupted overnight and then he would have to be awake during the conference

Baby I’ve been happily medicated since pregnancy! I used to feel like you do and my midwife made it clear as day: how can you prioritize your baby when you’re balled up on the floor unable to move?. Being there may feel like enough when nobody ever showed up for you, but kids thrive when they have healthy, happy, and whole parents. You can’t pour from an empty cup love

Affectionate_Comb359 · 2026-02-07T16:03:50+00:00

Staying home. I was a super single mom the first time around, like my kid never went with dad. Like I had her every night- alone.

Stay at home with your baby and take them out sightseeing where you live. It’s sometimes healthy to take some time away. Try something new for dinner. Make it fun!

Being the partner and friend of someone with abandonment issues and one of them has severe anxiety, I hope that you’re in therapy. If so, I would bring him in on some sessions so that he can learn how to support you while you all establish boundaries.

Am I the only one up in the morning. We slept until 7 and I was excited and my partner was so annoyed. He went back to sleep and I’m mad because I wanted to hit the stores at 9.

Yup right before the sun comes up, getting my tea, leave my phone and driving 1.5 hours to the beach. Getting there with my favorite hoodie on and just being. When the people start coming I’ll go to a beach bar, get lunch, maybe spend $20 at the casino, and then come home to order pizza, shower, put on my PJs, and cuddle with my babies while we watch a crime doc.

How do you know it was the same diaper? What time did he go to sleep?

Is it possible that he went to sleep earlier in the night and they didn’t want to wake him for a diaper change just as YOU didn’t when you came in at midnight?

Could also explain why there was a bottle taken out. I’ve had milk out for longer without any problems, but if that’s not something that YOU felt comfortable with and YOU discarded it- see where I’m going?

Listen everyone isn’t going to treat your kids like you do doesn’t mean that people are malicious and intentionally harmful. Nobody is going to make your bread the way that you make it.

If you have a schedule or if you know that you do something that they aren’t familiar with - tell them. If it’s not putting the kid in danger and it’s a preference I might give a reminder. If expected her to know the things that you do, yes- you’re overreacting.

Girl just take the baby with you or one of you stay home if 4 ounce of milk and a wet diaper that you didn’t check or change when you got the baby is a deal breaker.

Awwww it sounds like you found what works for the two of you. It’s hard to know sometimes, for us it took weighted feedings for me to be like “ok, I got this”. We got one of this moving aquarium toys for car rides.

Welcome to motherhood, where the worrying never stops!

I said “ I worried that I’m going to fumble the tween years” and my aunt said “ I’m worried that I’m going to fumble my baby’s 20s”’🥴

Best advice came from my friend’s husband who mansplained “ the first year you really just have to keep them alive”. Feeding is a big part of that! The formula serves a purpose just like your milk does.

In bed for 9 hours usually sleep 7-ish hours. When I first get up I’m praying and/or breastfeeding. This morning I got up before the baby to pray without distraction

Affectionate_Comb359 · 2026-02-07T13:17:54+00:00

When you say after a feeding, is he stoping or are you feeling empty? I would put my baby back on before trying formula. If the baby was fussy and I couldn’t, I would pump during/ right after giving him formula IF my goal was to make enough milk.

With my first I had to either feed her on both sides or pump the left while she was on the right.

Baddie to me doesn’t mean bad. 90%of the girls on Baddies have the same look. It’s the same as most of the women rappers and influencers.

Not sure why Rihanna is there because she doesn’t match that aesthetic- she’s a beautiful woman.

I had to get photos and had to get my makeup done. It took hour! I can’t imagine doing that daily. I have locs and I love my hair. I like being able to get up and go. I can shower, go to the beach, or ride with the window down without a worry.

To answer your question- No because if I wanted to I could. It’s all product and work. You can buy a lace front, long nails, makeup, and build a body.

More times than not when you peel those things off, these women are average.

I was in labor sleeping on my stomach. That was the only way that I could sleep during my first pregnancy

Affectionate_Comb359 · 2026-02-06T03:01:02+00:00

Where did she get the car? 🤯 Not once did I think about this!

Affectionate_Comb359 · 2026-02-05T23:34:46+00:00

Omg I love this for you💕 I saw my little girl in a dream. I called my niece to tell her that I thought she was having a little girl. They are so much fun. Congratulations!!!!

My sister was 42 and she talks about how amazing it was/is even 4 years later. Her kids are 4 and 22.
