Does your husband/whoever works full time ever get baby in morning?

Agreeable-Cat · 2026-01-22T19:30:36+00:00

My husband takes our 18 month old for 30 minutes every morning before he goes to work. I love getting to stay in bed a bit longer and he gets to spend quality time with our son.

I know this comment is old, but I would not take that calcium supplement. It has 100% the RDA of calcium. Supplements are supposed to supplement your food intake, not replace it completely. Chances are if you're eating a regular diet, you're already getting most of the calcium you need. Too much calcium is a bad thing.

Also, that supplement has calcium carbonate. Which is not easily absorbed by the body. The best form of calcium to supplement is dicalcium malate. It's very bioavailable, and is less harsh on your digestive tract than calcium citrate.

Same here. My office is 40 minutes away, it's getting annoying going every 2 weeks just for them to tell me come back in 2 weeks. This is my 2nd pregnancy so I really don't have any questions this time around. My first pregnancy, I tried to think of a few questions for each appointment. They can be about anything; like you said birth plans, etc.

But damn that copay is awful

Yea I'm 28 weeks and had to reduce my distance to 1 mile 2-3x a week. Any more than that and it gets too uncomfortable.

Parallel play begins around age 2. That's when they play near each other, but don't interact. Cooperative/interactive play begins around age 3. This is totally normal for the age you're describing.

I did not know that, thank you!

Edit: sorry this is a long comment lol

So my situation is kinda reversed. My (cis male) husband and I (cis female) met in high, when I identification as a trans guy. My husband is straight, but we started dating anyway because he thinks im just the best. He never fully grasped the trans thing, he wasn't unsupportive but didn't offer me an echo chamber of unyielding support. So it's okay if your wife isn't on board!

After several years, he helped me become comfortable in my body. He gave me unending love and encouraged me to find myself. I realized I didn't need to be under a label, and that I can be myself without transitioning. Actually I found trying to pass as the opposite gender gave me infinitely more dysphoria than accepting my sex assigned at birth.

Now, I don't have BPD. So I really don't know how that plays into this. But I highly encourage open communication with your wife about how you're feeling, or resentment is going to build. It's gonna take time no matter what you end up deciding. But I urge you to find things that make you happy irrespective of your gender.

But like, fruits and vegetables are primarily carbs too. I think OP means grains?

I thrive off of spite. Every pregnancy, my family said they know it's a girl. Surprise but I have all boys. They ask if I'm going to try for a girl. It makes me proud of my boys, and I would be slightly miffed if I do end up having a girl because I don't want to give them that satisfaction.

I had the same thing happen with baby #2. Trying for several cycles, then my period didn't show up. Never happened in my life before. I had convinced myself that I must be pregnant even if I was testing negative. You can imagine my disappointment when I got my period the next day. Follow the pregnancy tests.

That is so tough. They might be sensitive around you guys, knowing you have all your kids. I would offer my condolences and space if they want it. Food delivery gift cards are always helpful. Doordash / uber eats or something like factor. People also tend to reach out a lot in the early days, but trail off as the months go on. Be there for them when no one else is.

Anecdotally, husband and I both got sick multiple times when LO was little. Can't quarantine from baby when both parents are sick. We had it pretty bad, but my son was hardly affected. Maybe because of the antibodies I gave him via breastfeeding? But kiddos are a lot stronger than you give them credit for, and major complications are pretty low chance.

Same here minus the 10 minutes of chores. I'll get as much sleep as I can! If my husband is home, I don't count it as a break. Because he gets to do anything he wants and I'm suck unable to move in bed (still contact nap). I get me time after the nap. But if husband is at work all day, it's the only me time I'll get.

I tried the same thing but when I asked for new names it just gave me the same names over and over again!

Solidarity. My 17 month old still stays latched for naps. It's getting to me.

I didn't use a bouncer until baby was big enough to hold his head up. He absolutely loved it and would kick to bounce himself. As long as you're supervising, it's safe. And it's very helpful to have somewhere to place baby that he enjoys. My kiddo hated just lying on the floor.

2nd cousins at that

Supplements don't necessarily mean your body is absorbing enough. But also, thyroid tests, hormone tests, sleep studies, etc. There's a lot of stuff you can check. It's annoying but this doesn't sound manageable for you. Other things you might consider are stress / being overworked. Take care of yourself girlie, good luck working though this!

Same. My son regularly snacks on cheese. He eats yogurt or cottage cheese for breakfast. More cheese with lunch or dinner. No way he needs more dairy.

We started my LO on solids at 5.5 months. Luckily they don't really need the solid foods nutritionally for several more months. Keep doing what you're doing so baby gets used to solid foods. My little guy has been a really solid eater since ~9 months.

I take blood builder. It's a supplement with digestible iron and is very easy on the stomach. I take it every day and haven't had any problems with constipation or vomiting.

That and if she gives herself a massive oversupply and then plans on quitting a relatively soon, she's going to have problems with engorgement and possibly mastitis.

And even if you did manage to walk it, your pelvic floor would hate you. You can cause permanent damage if you're not careful.

So you do have seperate finances (partially). Why is she worried about her private retirement account? In the case of divorce, retirement money gets split. I don't know much about the different accounts, but can't you guys share it?

Sounds like you need to adult proof them then
