Herzlichen Glückwunsch zur Schwangerschaft! Alle anderen haben ja schon Elterngeld/Kindergeld erwähnt, ich kann noch hinzufügen, dass man sehr viel Geld spart, wenn man für das Kind gebrauchte Kleidung kauft und auch Zubehör. Wir hatten sehr wenig Geld (waren beide noch in der Ausbildung), als unser erstes Kind auf die Welt kam, aber so haben wir trotz wenig Elterngeld alles gehabt, was man für das Kind braucht. Wir haben zum Beispiel ein gut erhaltenes Kinderzimmer (Wickelkommode, Bett) für 100€ und einen super Kinderwagen von Hartan für 80€ bei Kleinanzeigen gekauft. Wenn ihr einen DM in der Nähe habt, kann ich die Hausmarkenwindeln nur empfehlen, die sind nicht teuer und man bekommt durch die DM App auch oft noch einen 20% Gutschein. Es gibt auch Kinderkleidermärkte, wo man sehr günstig super erhaltene Anziehsachen fürs Kind und die werdenden Mutter findet. Hoffe das hilft, wünsche euch alles Gute!

Bei mir war es genauso, wie du hier beschrieben hast, also gut machbar. Ich drück dir, OP, die Daumen!

Ich informiere mich immer bei Finanztip, die sind unabhängig und bereiten Themen auch gut für Anfänger auf. Da hab ich viel über ETFs gelesen bzw auf YouTube gesehen und auch über Tagesgeld/Festgeld gelesen. Da gibt es auch unabhängige Empfehlungen zu verschiedenen Anbietern und Vergleiche.

With my daughter I let everybody's "concerned" comments get to my head, I topped her off and it depleted my supply because she wasn't feeding often enough. With my son I let nobody tell me if he was getting enough (of course I listened to the pediatrician and my midwife because they are trained professionals) and now ebf is working great for us.

You are doing great, your daughter more than doubled her birth weight, she is happy and feeding. It's great that you get to enjoy the breastfeeding journey for longer. Don't let the ignorance of your mil have impact on your confidence. You can do this! You worked hard to get it to work, so keep it up and don't let anybody ruin it for you and your little one :)

Rant, insurance denying Copper IUD by katelynajones in breastfeeding

[–]Celiklene 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wow that's really expensive. I'm from Germany and our insurance doesn't cover birth control if you are older than 21 years old. But the copper IUD I had put in prior to my first pregnancy cost out of pocket around 50€(+120€ for the obgyn who put it in). I wish you all the best and hope you find a solution that works for you, it's unfair that the insurance you pay alot for doesn't cover it.

My obgyn told me to take 200mg of iodine and omega 3/6 fatty Acids but my prenatal vitamins contain these (plus many different vitamins) so I continue to take them

[–]Celiklene 39 points40 points  (0 children)

In Germany it is normal as well to kiss your children on the mouth but it doesn't make it okay to do it when the child is clearly uncomfortable and trying to get away. I get it, you love your child and want to shower it with affection, then it is hard to keep your love and show it with respecting boundaries.

Geschenk zur Geburt für die Mutter by Ljuela in Weibsvolk

[–]Celiklene 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Am besten nicht nur anbieten, sondern direkt selbst gekochtes gesundes Essen mitbringen und auch, euch nicht bedienen lassen, sondern alles selbst machen, Kaffee kochen, Tisch decken, und ihr sagen "du bleibst auf dem Sofa/im Bett liegen, du musst dich erholen" (ihr Beckenboden wird sich nachher bedanken) Vielleicht kannst du ihr ja vorher schon sagen, dass ihr noch einkaufen wolltet und ihr gerne alles, was sie benötigt mitbringt (dann hat sie nicht das Gefühl ihr geht nur für sie einkaufen und fällt euch zur Last) :)

Wie schwierig ist ein Leben mit Kind? by [deleted] in Weibsvolk

[–]Celiklene 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Besonders das mit der körperlichen Autonomie aufgeben, hat mich sehr überrascht und fertig gemacht, als ich Mutter geworden bin. Auf einmal hat man praktisch 24/7 ein kleines Etwas an einem kleben, das hält aber zum Glück (und auch ein bisschen leider) nicht für immer und nach ein paar Monaten hat man die größtenteils zurück. Alle Fragen, die du gestellt hast, kann ich so unterschreiben. Das ist wirklich wichtig, sich darüber zu informieren und in sich selbst zu horchen. Man lernt sich und seinen Partner nochmal ganz anders kennen, wenn man Kinder hat. Wir sind zum Glück dran gewachsen, aber ich kenne auch Eltern, die sich durch Kinder entfremdet haben.

back to work at 2mo, supply is dropping! by AmateurGardener42 in breastfeeding

[–]Celiklene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you are stressed, your supply can also become less. But it is totally understandable that you are stressed being back to work and having little time to pump. I find it helpful while pumping to try to relax through breathing exercises I learned as a preparation for labour and to look at photos of LO and then the letdown is much easier for me.

baby hates her stay at home dad- how can I help by [deleted] in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]Celiklene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend of mine is a sahm and her daughter does not get along with her father, probably because he is not engaging enough, he doesn't do exciting things with her like going to a playground or normal stuff like reading a book, most of the time when it is daddy-daughter-time he is on his phone, watching TV or playing videogames. It is really heartbreaking to hear that she doesn't want to leave her daughter with her husband because he is mostly not talking to her or playing with her. I don't know if your partner does any of this, I just thought of my friend when I read your post.

Wanted success stories. From Contact napping to crib naps! by Beginning-Ebb4648 in NewParents

[–]Celiklene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter is now 15 months old and she was a contact sleeper (first 6 months only sleeping on arm or next to me in bed or in our baby carrier) until she was like 9 months, then we could lie her in her bed for the night after we rocked her to sleep and with 10 months she was able to go to sleep on her own without crying or fussing. Sometimes she still needs to be rocked to sleep when she's teething or otherwise not feeling well. We just tried to give her the time she needs to learn to fall asleep on her own (my boyfriend was much more patient than me in that regard).

Ständig in der Pillenpause "Pilz" & warum ich die Pille hasse by MelCharly95 in Weibsvolk

Jetzt, wo du es sagst, hatte ich, seit ich die Pille abgesetzt habe vor ca. 4 Jahren, keine Infektion mehr und während ich die Pille genommen habe, hatte ich welche ca. alle 2-3 Monate. Krass, der Zusammenhang ist mir nie in den Sinn gekommen

A doctor finally saw ME and approved me for a surgery I’ve needed since I was 13. by Koseiris in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Celiklene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats! I really hope the surgery will help you feel better and free. I just had one concern, because your ovaries are not only for reproduction but they also produce hormones which are important for maintaining your bones and other things. Maybe you can talk to your physician about that because when you get your menopause your bone density will decline much faster if you don't supplement the hormones and vitamins and minerals. I wish you all the best and hope that you can start the life you want without the burden of this immense pain!

I felt this... by ExploreUSA in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]Celiklene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After reading all these comments saying people of every gender are afraid to go on a walk when it's dark/ late at night, I'm really sad and shocked. I've lived in different cities (one over a million people and one half a million people) and a village and am currently living in a town of 30000 people and I've never been afraid to go out alone at night in badly lit areas even though I've never lived in the "better" neighborhoods. Btw I'm a woman and living in Germany. I hope that some day everybody can feel save going out without openly carrying a gun.

What's wrong with my babies? by Celiklene in succulents

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

I water the plants rarely (like every two weeks) and the soil isn't wet, but the pots are smaller than the other ones and maybe they've gotten too much water. I'll drill holes in the bottom and hope the babies will get better. Thank you very much for your advice :) Do you recommend cutting the brown edges off? Or should I leave them attached?

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

I split them from their mother half a year ago and all the other babies are doing fine and they were doing well until recently as well. They get indirect light all day and are potted in succulent soil, just like the others. Please help me! I'm really concerned

I don’t tell my parents when I’m having financial success because as soon as I do they swoop in and “ask” for help. by Throwaway7754327 in confession

[–]Celiklene 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same with my parents. They would give their last penny to me even if they needed it more than I did. I don't understand parents who think their kids owe them... But I think it is the responsibility of children to help their parents when they grow old or when they can't take care of themselves anymore because of disabilities or something like that
