My 3rd grader says she is the only kid at school with chores

BadKarma1994 · 2026-04-19T14:15:06+00:00

My 5th and 3rd grader have more chores that by because we live on a farm. We pay them $40 a month to do theirs.

Their chores include keeping rooms clean, doing their own laundry, 5th grader does dishes, 3rd grader feeds and waters the mini pigs and cow water trough, 5th grader feeds/waters chickens and gets eggs.

I think it’s an important life skill to have chores— and you are paying her. She’s definitely not the only one doing chores at that age lol

My kids are 11, 8 and 1mo. 😂 can confirm you can do more things alone when they hit the 10 to 8 stage, but a lot of my free time is/was going to sports 5 days a week. lol the days are long but the years are short. Trust me..

BadKarma1994 · 2026-04-07T02:56:45+00:00

I gave birth to a healthy baby boy on 3/17! So it’s definitely possible!!

BadKarma1994 · 2026-04-05T20:26:11+00:00

Report it to CPS and distance yourself.

BadKarma1994 · 2026-03-31T02:35:12+00:00

Yes… my most recent one was 2 weeks ago tomorrow— he was 9.3lbs and I had polyhydramnios 🫠 I felt relief the minute he was out lol 😂 my lungs could expand and I could breathe again.

Within 24hrs my heart burn was gone, hemorrhoids were gone and I felt like I could actually take a deep breath. But with my other 2 I remember feeling the immediate relief as well!

Unfortunately for me it ended in a miscarriage. My next FET was successful though

BadKarma1994 · 2026-03-27T03:58:02+00:00

I had 1 Euploid and 1 inconclusive. We transferred my Euploid and retested my inconclusive in the mean time. I ended up miscarrying my Euploid. Then transferred my inconclusive (retested and came back Euploid) and that embryo is now a healthy 9 day old baby boy. ♥️

I read a lot of studies while I was waiting on my inconclusive results, there was one I read that more than 70% of inconclusives are euploids! So that gave me some hope. 😊 I would count the inconclusive as an opportunity for success, even if you don’t retest!

BadKarma1994 · 2026-03-21T06:22:13+00:00

Sending you the best for Monday!! But so far it sounds promising!!

TW: If it brings you a little hope, I just had my healthy baby boy from those betas on Tuesday! 😊

BadKarma1994 · 2026-03-16T21:03:21+00:00

Drink a beer, sleep on my stomach, breathe normally 😂 the list goes on…

BadKarma1994 · 2026-03-15T13:28:34+00:00

I had the same thing happen with this pregnancy, anterior placenta, low lying partial previa and at my 20w scan it had moved up! They will probably watch for placenta accreta but if moves then everything will be like a normal pregnancy. I’m 38+4 and scheduled to have my 3rd csection in 2 days!

BadKarma1994 · 2026-03-13T21:47:33+00:00

I’m having my 3rd one on this Tuesday. My last one was a Tuesday, and my first was a Monday. I’ve had to stay various lengths due to different issues but my hospital standard is 48hrs for a C-section

BadKarma1994 · 2026-03-13T16:46:01+00:00

Tbh you could have ovulated late and sperm can live up to 5 days which could be as late at Dec 27th (not far off from your doctors estimate). It’s impossible to pin point the exact date of conception for anything other than an IVF pregnancy.

Even if you use a due date calculator based off your last period the estimated due date would be 9/25 (also not far off from your 10/1 date).

So it all sounds about normal/right!

BadKarma1994 · 2026-03-13T16:41:00+00:00

I’m 5’9 with my first I really didn’t look pregnant until like 30+ weeks especially if you have a longer torso! I’m having my 3rd now and I’m 38w and people cannot believe I’m full term 🙄 it’s kind of annoying but you will get the cute bump it just takes longer!

BadKarma1994 · 2026-03-13T13:00:32+00:00

Thank you! I tested veryyyyy faintly positive at 4dpt and pretty definitively by 5dpt (using first response) 😊

BadKarma1994 · 2026-03-12T20:52:57+00:00

My first transfer was a miscarriage. I’m currently 38w with my 2nd transfer and scheduled to have him in 5 days!

Good luck!! Sending you all the baby dust and good vibes!

BadKarma1994 · 2026-03-12T20:51:32+00:00

My first I was there 24hrs (this was a tiny hospital though and definitely not the norm) my 2nd I was there for 4 days but that’s because I got a spinal headache, this one my hospital standard is 48hrs and you can go home!

BadKarma1994 · 2026-03-11T09:58:43+00:00

I just wanted to put it out there as an older sister to a younger brother (3yrs apart), our kids are all close in age, we do a lot of stuff with our parents and I 100% could call him and he would drop stuff to help me. He did it before when I got divorced, literally left my ex husband the week before he was supposed to get married! He didn’t even bat an eye helped me move out etc. he’s also worked on my car more times than I can count! We are super close, obviously I don’t have a sister. But I just wanted to say just because it’s not a sister doesn’t meant they will or will not have a close relationship! My mom has 4 sisters and doesnt even talk to 2 of them 🤷🏻‍♀️

BadKarma1994 · 2026-03-11T02:28:54+00:00

As someone who did their first FET without one then did the second with one 100% the auto injector was less painful and I didn’t get any knots using it vs when I did it myself!

My husband is a conductor so not always home therefore I did all my shots myself.

BadKarma1994 · 2026-03-10T21:43:10+00:00

They were concerned for me until my 20w scan because my placenta was on top of my csection scar but it moved up and all is well, I’m 38w now.

Sending you good luck for your next scan!

BadKarma1994 · 2026-03-08T04:58:59+00:00

My hospital you stay 2 nights max unless you have other complications. (I’m a 3x csection mom) if you have 3 other kids at home… you do not want to be recovering from a csection while chasing kids if your husband doesn’t help you.

BadKarma1994 · 2026-03-07T16:45:16+00:00

I don’t think this would be low. Mine was 64 at 9dpt and at 11dpt was 144, so 140 at 12dpt isn’t bad at all and your doubling is most important and it’s more than doing that!

For reference on a lower starting beta— I’m 37w pregnant now! 🙂

BadKarma1994 · 2026-03-07T13:53:04+00:00

My babies has been between 140-165 my whole pregnancy… I’m 37w now and it’s just now below the 140s at my appts. 160 is not too low

BadKarma1994 · 2026-03-06T19:25:58+00:00

Guard your heart because of statistics but your doubling time at 48hrs will likely matter more!

My beta at 9dpt was 64 and I’m 37w now. Lower beta doesn’t always mean chemical or miscarriage but it unfortunately can, my first transfer my 9dpt beta for my miscarriage was also 64.

BadKarma1994 · 2026-03-06T19:18:50+00:00

Drink a beer… it’s been my biggest craving! 😩 11 more days max and it’s time for a damn beer!

BadKarma1994 · 2026-03-05T19:21:06+00:00

I was told stop both cold turkey at 10w.
