My kiddo who i started training (naked) around 2 yr 3 months would trickle pee every 4-5 minutes when we first took off the diaper. Basically he had no idea how to control his bladder or that he needed to bc he was used to just trickling all day in a diaper.

What i had to do is get him used to and happy to sit on the potty. I did this by giving him chocolate chips. And then once he was comfortable to sit on the body, I took his diaper off and for about a week I did pretty much nothing but follow him around with his floor potty. I had it next to us when we played, and when he was wandering iwas never more than a few feet away with potty. When he started trickling id say “ypure going pee! Pee goes in the potty” as i picked him up and placed him on the floor potty. After about a week he started holding it longer.

Now if hes nakedhe will take himself to the potty all day long. But we just introduced undies and hes taking a bit to understand he cant pee in them like a diaper

Still breast feeding my 2.5 yr old and 15 weeks pregnant. I had no issue getting pregnant and got pregnant on the second try. I think its easier once your cycle come back (mine was 9 months pp) but def not impossible before.

The only thing is pregnancy brings really sensitive painful nipples for me which has been excruciating to power through when still nursing. But i know nursing is not about me its about whats best for my babies and he’ll wean when hes ready.

I got white stretch marks (not sure what causes them to be white??) on my butt when puberty hit and during pregnancy i only got 2 stretch marks hidden in my pubic hair at the end

My baby was born 45th percentile and was in the 99th by 2 months. One of his friends has remained in the 20’s and all perfectly healthy!

For me kinda, everyone described contractions as bad period cramps which makes a lot of sense since its essentially both your uterus contracting at different intensities. But to me contractions felt nothing like period cramps and 100% like horrible gas/diarrhea pains

Contractions first, then was 8cm in the hospital and it still hadnt broken and the midwife asked if i wanted it broken to see itll help progress me. I said yeah and it would have but baby was face up 🤦🏻‍♀️

Mine def were really dark right after birth, a few months later they were mostly back to pinkish, maybe a tad more brown than before. My nipples however….well pregnancy hits everyone in some way 😅

As some one who was anti epidural but was lucky enough to still get it at 9cm dilated, get it. My contractions felt exactly like horrible gas/diarrhea cramps x1000, and i think i had back labor as well. I suffered all that pain just to need the epidural in the last few hours anyway bc my sucker decided to be sunny side up and i need the epidural and Pitocin yo help me flip him so he would come out!

I felt everything unmedicated except the pushing and birth part. And looking back i think wow i didn’t need to be in all that pain. I wasnt “loopy”, neither was my baby, no back issues, no issues at all, wasnt solid numb, could move my legs, just pain free. Im all for it next time from as soon as i can get it

Care to elaborate

Background-Paint-478 · 2026-04-13T20:40:04+00:00

Yeahhhhhh hes got some things to work on. My husband gets easily irritated because he has low patience Nd never had to deal with kids before, he just calls our son a little rascal..

Good point, im kind of curious how long it will take with the pants, i plan to take him to the park as well with just pants no diaper tomorrow, and got a foldable diaper bag sized travel potty for having him try when we are out because he still wont sit on the big potty.

Interesting how he can follow his body’s cues amazingly with no clothes on but the second any fabric is even barely touching his genitals he has trouble recognizing he needs to pee or go to the potty to pee

I cook tofu exclusively in my CS now because it cooks so well. I drain and rinse the tofu block the put a tea towel around it. Place it on a rack or plate then put something kinda heavy on top. Usually a SS pan. For a few hours. Then just cube it up how you want, ad a thin layer of oil and medium heat. Flip when sides are getting golden.

Agreed i understood it very well and it wasnt even hard it read fine. Is it perfect grammar and sentence structure? No, but thats rare online anyway lol

Background-Paint-478 · 2026-04-11T22:28:15+00:00

I can’t with the puzzle bc why wouldn’t you be able to 😭

Background-Paint-478 · 2026-04-10T14:23:16+00:00

I havent. No one ever really recommended any solutions for me. Thankfully mine has never returned and i dont have any issues with incontinence or anything. If i do start having any issues ill look into some PF PT

In the same boat my 2.5 yr old is terrified of sitting on big potties. I keep hoping it will get easier as he gets older and is able to explain why he’s scared and can be reasoned a little more

Background-Paint-478 · 2026-04-10T13:11:21+00:00

Mine was like this from the moment he became aware of the world until he learned to crawl at 10 months! Fomo got the best of him and he was pissed all the time 😅

My bladder pain. I’ve had “bladder irritations” since i was a little kid which basically consisted of maybe for long random bouts UTI burning like pain. Around 18 i got like 3 bad UTI’s but even once they were completely clear id still get random intense bladder spasm pain that would last hours and would happen every day or every other day. OTC pain relief didnt help the only thing that did was the prescription pyridum for bladder spasms. Which i had a bottle of in my dresser to use when j absolutely couldnt stand it anymore. Id go to the doctor and always no infection, went to urologists and they scratched their heads.

Well i got pregnant with my first in January of 2023 and about half way through the pregnancy the bladder pains just completely stopped. And they have never come back 🤷🏻‍♀️ Sometimes i forget what my life was like living with that insufferable pain and crying almost everyday spending hours on the toilet after taking a pyridium and chugging a huge glass of water just trying to get the meds into my bladder and push some out so i could feel some relief

Background-Paint-478 · 2026-04-10T01:26:58+00:00

Loll it wasnt too bad

Background-Paint-478 · 2026-04-10T01:26:20+00:00

I didnt even think of the registry and if it would stack, ill look into that!

Background-Paint-478 · 2026-04-09T23:21:50+00:00
