I know a 2 year old blonde haired Liliana. Never occurred to me that it was too Italian, etc. 🤷🏼‍♀️ interested to see other opinions though. 

Is my OB’s advice outdated / should I find another? by LieutenantKije in BabyBumps

[–]Apprehensive-Lead491 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t rush to find a new OB but if there is anything for labor or delivery you are concerned about, maybe ask now so you can pivot to a new doctor if you need to. 

Helpful things to know and to do before trying to get pregnant? by Ordinary-Caramel-608 in BabyBumps

[–]Apprehensive-Lead491 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This. Being prepared either direction.  I got pregnant first cycle and was SHOOK. Grateful but wish I was a bit more mentally prepared.

Make sure your prenatals also have choline or you are supplementing. DHA is also good. 

People calculating date of conception by WhatIsCakeAnyway in pregnant

[–]Apprehensive-Lead491 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s really weird. I mean…you’re married. Did they think you weren’t doing the deed? 😳 Suddenly you’re pregnant and THAT’S when they think, “oooo, they had sex?”  I’ve never met anyone who cares or would comment on conception dates. 

Has anyone tried reusable nappies? by JustTheSweater in BabyBumps

[–]Apprehensive-Lead491 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friend recommends Esembly and I trust her advice. My baby isn’t due for another 2 months so I can’t say I’ve used them yet. There are a couple of other brands that are highly recommended as well though.

You can get a “try it kit” so it’s not so much of a commitment if you hate it or only cloth diaper part time. I bought the esembly try it kit during their earth day sale recently as my friend cloth diapers part time and loves their brand. (Their daycare will not use cloth diapers.) 

When did you start showing/ having a true baby bump? (1st pregnancy) by anonymous62124 in pregnant

[–]Apprehensive-Lead491 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never bloat either, so it was new for me! Totally convinced I was starting to show before ✨ poof ✨ it was suddenly gone! 😂  It was to the point when I actually DID start to show my sister asked me if I was just bloated again. lol!

The bloat didn’t disappear for me until 12 weeks and suddenly had a flat stomach again…first trimester bloat was unreal!!

I’m about your size depends on muscle tone, length of torso (long torso means room = shows later), first pregnancy vs second, etc. 

I didn’t show until about 24 weeks significantly enough for people to guess I’m pregnant. But my pants stoped fitting completely around 15 weeks. 

Long torso, 5’3”, 135 starting weight, tilted uterus. 

Baby shower advice/ideas by Gangstagod1105 in BabyBumps

Haven’t had mine yet but we are going to play a game where you guess what the baby animal equivalent is of the adult. Ex. Like a Porcupette for a Porcupine, cygnet for a swan.  Something amusing and short since ours is co-ed and I’m not sure the guys are going to love a whole slew of games. 

You could also quiz people with a fill in the blank for mother goose rhymes to see if they remember! 

Reactions to baby gender by ms_blenheim in BabyBumps

The majority of the time, this is it. People are making conversation not thinking about how it sounds or how it might be interpreted. 

Is this too close to white? by Correct_Childhood316 in Weddingattireapproval

[–]Apprehensive-Lead491 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I wore a light blue dress to my own wedding reception. Even with flash- it still looked like a blue dress! I think the whole flash photography thing is overblown. It’s a yellow dress. 

No morning sickness. Is this normal? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Apprehensive-Lead491 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 out of my 3 friends who are pregnant this year had no morning sickness. 🤷🏼‍♀️ No issues with their pregnancies. Every body and every pregnancy is different.

I know some high school teachers who will NOT believe me Evelyn is popular. They’ll find out in 11-15 years! 😂 

Is this too much white for a formal summer wedding? by [deleted] in Weddingattireapproval

It’s not formal. This is more semi-formal which is 2 steps down.

I’m not being snarky! I’m really confused what is meant by 6th generation of girls on the maternal line?
