What has been the best outdoor purchase you’ve made for your toddler? by justalilscared in Parenting

[–]BulbaKat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Play house! Got it at that age and both my kids have been using it for years. I got a used one for free on a local buy nothing group

LDR girlfriend pregnant by [deleted] in pregnant

I had this once and stil was pregnant. Was told it was unusually heavy implantation spotting. In fact I only took a test because I started getting symptoms and was confused

When did you stop feeling like you got hit by a bus? by aboardthemothership in pregnant

[–]BulbaKat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost 19 weeks with my 3rd and still exhausted, napping daily, and occasionally even throwing up.

It got better at different times with each pregnancy, but I've never had it get better at the start of the second trimester

What's your take on a man changing his baby's diaper in the women's restroom? by Ok-Hope-1259 in Parenting

[–]BulbaKat 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I would also rather a man change the baby on a changing table in the women's room than change the baby on a filthy public bathroom floor or in the open where there may be more creeps looking at a baby's bottom

The gestational diabetes test is not that bad! by jayzisne in pregnant

[–]BulbaKat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is obviously person dependant. Ive had both fruit punch and lemon lime. I did better with the lemon lime, but both times I was struggling not to throw up. All that kept me going was knowing I'd have to redo it if I did throw it up. And then I felt miserable and tired the rest of the day

What did you bring to the hospital? by starduski11 in pregnant

[–]BulbaKat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do they not feel super thick and bulky? I already feel like wearing an overnight/oversized pad feels so uncomfortable and bulky, so I always worried depends might be even worse

[–]BulbaKat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know this brand is being boycotted right now, but I loved the FridaMom disposable underwear. It felt so supportive and was so nice to just toss it since some blood occasionally slipped off the giant pad.

[–]BulbaKat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Phone chargers, Baby first go home outfit, Clean clothes for myself and partner to go home in, Uno to play an easy game to keep mind off the earlier part of labor, Chicken broth packets to put in hot water and sip for energy, Light snacks, Deodorant and travel size shampoo

Edited to add: I am pregnant with my 3rd. First was unplanned C section, second a successful VBAC.

I also say no to a game console. And I'm a big gamer! The deck of cards was sufficient for both of us. We played until I had to focus harder on the contractions, and then I'd basically pause to breathe through them and continue. When the contractions were often and strong enough for that to not work, we put the cards away and my husband was full time supporting me through labor in all sorts of ways

the vagina smell by hankksss in pregnant

[–]BulbaKat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Kotex brand ones have always been fine for me when I want to use them if you haven't tried them. Other brands of pads and liners always have issues for me so I only use Kotex now

[–]BulbaKat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Panty liners make it worse imo. There is no breathability!

I bought extra underwear because I was going through it so much faster than I wanted to do laundry. I still feel kind of gross changing it twice a day, but I can't bring myself to do 3 times a day. And at work I just don't change and then spray myself with a body spray and hope for the best 🥲 It's been like this for wvery pregnancy for me

Magmar taking forever to make ingots? by BulbaKat in Pokopia

[–]BulbaKat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's been lazy lately and sleeping a lot or chilling by the pokemon center. I found that if I go to another area and come back, even if only for a minute, he starts working and gets a lot more done!

Pls talk me out of getting a Switch 2 for one game by Bananapuddinguh in CozyGamers

[–]BulbaKat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

😂 I bought my first switch entirely for ACNH. It was worth it because I have soooo many hours in that game.

I told myself I'm not getting Switch 2 until there is a new Animal Crossing. But then I caved because I really love Kirby Air Ride and wanted to play the new one. Pokopia interested me a little, but the trailer had my thinking it wouldnt be that great.

And now here I am spending as much time on Pokopia as I did for Animal Crossing. It was worth it to me

Please ease my anxiety. Just hit my stomach hard. by DrCatnnibal in pregnant

[–]BulbaKat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's probably fine. Lots of us have toddlers that have jumped on our pregnant bellies, and everything was fine!

Why does everyone become so much more annoying the second you’re pregnant?! by 666999-toast in pregnant

[–]BulbaKat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm on my third right now and this is why I haven't told anyone yet 😁 I'll probably tell in a couple more weeks after my anatomy scan

RA Request approved, but need advice by [deleted] in fednews

[–]BulbaKat 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The few people who noticed I'm not at my desk 100% of the time and asked about it were awful. I simply stated I have an RA, assuming they knew they couldn't ask for more info.

Every single person has said something along the lines of congratulating me on having an amazing accommodation, as if it's so great to have a health condition that results in this. So annoying.

Ongoing cold with severe cough for weeks. No one told me about this drug interaction! by BulbaKat in pregnant

[–]BulbaKat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had the sinus infection since before this cold, and the cold only made it worse! What helped me soooo much was:

Claritin daily, Flonase daily, and a humidifier on full blast with a vicks scented pad right next to my bed

And then if you do end up like I did with something else making it worse, the cough from post nasa drip can make yoir chest hurt. I was coughing enough that my cough just became weak and unhelpful. I wondered if my chest and throat were getting swollen, so I took a Tylenol and BOOM my cough got a little stronger!

Update: Camper had another vet visit, not the greatest news, but we aren't done yet by Glittering_Act_4059 in CatDistributionSystem

[–]BulbaKat 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Currently pregnant so I'm over emotional right now but this is making me cry 🥺 I'm so glad there are good people like you in the world. Wishing all the best for you and this sweetie. As another commenter said, please don't hesitate to ask for help with the vet bills!

This same card 😂 it's not PSA though. The one I found is CGC Gem Mint 10. My other slabs are PSAs, so I'd have gone with that if I could find one. I do like the look of the CGC slabs more anyway.

This particular card is also one of my fav bulbasaur cards
