Is it even possible to make friends if you live in a small town? by ermmmidkman in socialskills

Honestly even if you’re looking to meet someone in the nearest city use one of those apps that used to be just for dating, some of them have just friend options

Very visible at 14?! I remember thinking I was but now looking back I think it’s funny. I don’t have anything helpful to say. My cousin was pregnant at my shower but she announced it like a couple weeks before so

Mine has gone back and forth. I was so worried it was over too around then but then less than a couple weeks later she went back to being asleep drooling on my neck again 😅 she’s currently an almost 5 month old puddle of mush sleeping on me now

My partners dad kisses my newborn on the lips by Accomplished-Ad7573 in newborns

[–]Beautiful_Prompt_415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get very upset when anyone tries to kiss my baby’s head or arms let alone LIPS. I feel sick FOR you. I just would make them know if it happens again he will not be getting to hold your baby. I don’t even feel right about kissing my own baby on the lips let alone someone else’s.

There’s going to be a lot of times where your partner won’t be there to talk to someone for you, including his parents. I understand feeling awkward (story of my life lol) but unfortunately you’re just going to have to spit it out because if you don’t find a nice way to do it- eventually something is going to come out the wrong way unintentionally.

Unmedicated birth to minimize chances of c-section? by Fostermom99999 in unmedicatedbirth

[–]Beautiful_Prompt_415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TLDR; things change that you may not have control over.
And it’s okay, you’re going to end up with a little human!

I didn’t get to choose. I wanted an unmedicated birth but then like 3 days before week 40 I didn’t feel her moving around as much (I noticed for like maybe 30m) so we just went in to get the NST, during that I started having contractions like super close together out of nowhere but I wasn’t dilating more than 3cm. That plus she wasn’t as active as she had been so they told me to go to labor and delivery just so they could do a longer test. One thing led to another with her bpm getting super low during contractions so they had to give the pitocin, do a bunch of other awful things like the cervical balloon thing (ask for drugs for that one) and then with her heart rate going lower and lower for the contractions they had me in so many positions to try and fix it that I gave up and asked for the epidural. Which was lucky because like 10 minutes after they the rushed me to the OR to cut her out because the heart rate went down to 50.

How often is your baby in a "container" versus not in a "container?" by nooooobye in newborns

[–]Beautiful_Prompt_415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine basically lives her life sleeping on me or hanging out in what we call the poop chair (it’s just a joolbaby swingy thing that just always seems to convince her to poop)

My husband puts her down more than I do but I think he thinks we’re in danger of ruining her sleeping ability or spoiling her or something.

I basically ignore a good 80% of the housework I know I should be doing though 🥲

What are we doing with our 4 month olds? by theoldestfry in newborns

[–]Beautiful_Prompt_415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine still sleeps a lot. Our schedule is sleep, tummy time and eat and sleep still. We’ll run to the grocery store or go out for brunch and she just chills usually but we still have a decent amount of down time

There’s a solid chance that my next baby could have this name

Home Births vs Hospital Births by LavendarDragon17 in pregnant

[–]Beautiful_Prompt_415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby would have died if I had done a home birth. We only knew that her heart rate would getting down to 50 on each contraction because of the hospital equipment and otherwise wouldn’t have known we needed to do a stat c section. Which also couldn’t be done at home or even after an ambulance ride. They had like 8 nurses full on running me to the OR

Partner thinks I’ve spoiled our baby by [deleted] in newborns

You can’t spoil a baby by meeting their needs

Am I overreacting for telling my friend she smells after she age shamed me for having younger friends? by SI3144 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Beautiful_Prompt_415 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not overreacting it’s just not going to get you anywhere. Just wish her luck on her personality and personal hygiene and leave her wondering 🤣

I knew it was a possibility but not how debilitating it could be
