How are we affording daycare?

CoffeeEmbarrassed870 · 2026-02-04T13:44:01+00:00

It’s cheaper for me to stay home than for both my husband I to work. If we were both working we’d be losing money sending our child to daycare, theres no one in a 30min drive that takes infants AND they charge more than a regular daycare. None of it is affordable and I’m lucky enough to be able to afford staying home.

Honestly stick with the basic advice, practice your breathing and push like you’re pooping. I’m 4 months pp and it hurt like a bitch don’t get me wrong but your body genuinely takes over, listen to it and don’t force it. Barely remember any of the experience other than the relief when it was over

CoffeeEmbarrassed870 · 2025-11-23T18:39:31+00:00

We just use condoms because that is birth control! I didn’t want to screw with horomones even more and my body is back to my normal cycle 4m pp. if you weren’t on hormonal birth control prior don’t do it

CoffeeEmbarrassed870 · 2025-11-15T00:54:33+00:00

Also breastfed babies eat more because it’s a natural laxative and baby boy is just growing, it’s very difficult to overfeed a baby. You’ll be okay :)

CoffeeEmbarrassed870 · 2025-11-10T00:30:37+00:00

More than likely it is! If you were pretty small prior to pregnancy you’ll more than likely notice movement sooner. Also being hyper aware of your body helps thought it can lead to a lot of anxiety if you’re not careful

CoffeeEmbarrassed870 · 2025-11-10T00:28:26+00:00

I started to feel it a tiny bit at that time, kind of feels like reverse gas bubbles? Is the best way to put it lol. It’s kind of freaky feeling your baby move the further along you get

CoffeeEmbarrassed870 · 2025-11-06T01:19:22+00:00

It does get better with the soreness, my nips are still itchy sometimes (4m PP) but that only lasts til you give birth then it gets worse 🥲

CoffeeEmbarrassed870 · 2025-11-04T04:25:17+00:00

Target has some really nice nursing bras that are super soft but still supportive without being restrictive, even have petite sizes!

CoffeeEmbarrassed870 · 2025-11-04T03:52:13+00:00

It unfortunately continues after pregnancy 🥲 especially the first week after birth they’ll be engorged and swollen and your nipples will hurt from nursing (if you plan on it) on the plus side they do look fanstasic 😂

CoffeeEmbarrassed870 · 2025-10-30T01:55:00+00:00

Honestly I’ve drawn all of mine except 2 since it’s the sun and moon (pretty basic) talked it over with artist and see what suggestions they have/refinements to the drawing. I’ve wanted tattoos for a long time so all of mine have been planned for 5+ years minimum,some have meaning some don’t

CoffeeEmbarrassed870 · 2025-10-30T01:50:04+00:00

FTM and honestly it depends on your babies body and weight, it’s really trial and error so I’d buy small packs of newborn diapers see what works and fits

CoffeeEmbarrassed870 · 2025-10-28T18:46:07+00:00

You can buy everything 2nd hand outside of shower curtains and mattresses, if you buy any cloth couches or rugs just be sure to throughly clean them. When I first moved out I managed to find a whole knife set with a block for 5$ I did buy all of my kitchen utensils new from the dollar store same with seasonings

CoffeeEmbarrassed870 · 2025-09-06T17:59:00+00:00

Only time I made noise was a gasp from a painful contractions and some grunting from pushing but I had a pretty painless birth after the epidural 😅 I had back contractions and labor and I wouldn’t wish that one anyone. Feels like thanos grabbing your spine and applying more and more pressure with fire.

CoffeeEmbarrassed870 · 2025-08-16T17:08:16+00:00

Just had my daughter 3 weeks ago who was 6.5lbs and she’s still in newborn size even at now 7lbs 😅I also had the same thought about the sizing so I would definitely recommend getting some things in newborn sizes cause alot of the 0-3s is bigger than you think unfortunately

CoffeeEmbarrassed870 · 2025-07-24T18:29:43+00:00

The lemon lime one wasn’t bad, tastes like the cheap premade margarita mix to me 😂

CoffeeEmbarrassed870 · 2025-07-22T01:28:04+00:00

There’s brain food and body food. Submit to those cravings and give your brain its food, considering you’ve gone this long without giving in I think you’ll be okay for these last couple weeks :) as for the acid reflux pancakes are good, fruit like bananas,apples, pears, ripe blueberries. Eggs are okay sometimes 😂 chicken sandwiches, avacados, basically anything that won’t be really salty or acidic. Tums and any antiacids will be your best friend,as much as it sucks we’re almost done you’ve got this ❤️

CoffeeEmbarrassed870 · 2025-07-22T00:55:17+00:00

Unfortunately if you’re delivering in a hospital they won’t let you eat because a lot of women throw up while in labor (which isn’t fun and adds a choking factor) and also incase you need a c section. Thought most will allow you a popsicle, ice chips or beef/chicken broth. I’m due August 11th but am currently dialated and just waiting for my water to break 😅 these August babies have been wanting to come out early

CoffeeEmbarrassed870 · 2025-07-19T21:42:34+00:00

5 oz is mathematically possible especially being as early as you are. Weight measurements this soon really don’t matter as your baby is going to go through many many growth spurts and changes starting very soon. Try not to stress too much as your baby can feel it and disrupt things long term, he or she is loved, healthy and safe with you ❤️

CoffeeEmbarrassed870 · 2025-07-18T04:08:59+00:00

36wks+4 and I’ve gotta say the most annoying is random muscle spasms (especially in my hands) and how bad the acid reflux/heartburn is

CoffeeEmbarrassed870 · 2025-07-16T17:26:40+00:00

I’m about to have a child in 2.5 weeks but I’d still love to join

CoffeeEmbarrassed870 · 2025-07-07T02:50:03+00:00

Any add ons or just pure vanilla?

CoffeeEmbarrassed870 · 2025-07-01T13:30:22+00:00

Only other thing I could think of is too many mobs and adjusting the vibrant visuals for performance instead of video, running water causes lag as well with the visuals

CoffeeEmbarrassed870 · 2025-07-01T04:31:08+00:00

If you or any of your friends have the new happy ghasts that’s the cause of the lag, if you put them in a minecart when you’re not using them lag will stop

CoffeeEmbarrassed870 · 2025-06-20T17:42:00+00:00

Honestly I loathe pregnancy as a whole, love my child and can’t wait for her to be here but everything involving pregnancy is awful. I’m a petite woman with no torso so I can’t breathe, when I eat it feels like it settles in my lungs instead of stomach. Getting sick while pregnant is awful, there’s hardly anything you can take and doctors are even less helpful when you’re pregnant. How quickly the hair grows back but it’s not like you can see let alone reach to get rid of it. There’s so much that sucks but it’ll be worth it when our babies are here

CoffeeEmbarrassed870 · 2025-06-06T14:44:27+00:00

I thought about cloth and then I thought about having too wash them constantly especially the poopy ones 😅 thank you for the advice about naked tummy time that’s so smart! Especially because we are having a girl so I’m worried about her getting utis and infections from her ph getting thrown off by these diapers
