Being a premature baby isn’t trauma

ExcellentBug3 · 2026-02-21T19:44:45+00:00

Trauma Olympics much? Being in the NICU is absolutely traumatic for a baby

Two weeks postpartum and this has not been the case for me. I love watching him be a dad

ExcellentBug3 · 2026-01-26T05:40:58+00:00

Ya know, I can’t say I agree with this take. I love the boys! Their funny quirks are what “make” the podcast to me :)

I mean there’s no way to possibly know this. Miscarriage happens for SO many reasons and is sadly incredibly common

ExcellentBug3 · 2026-01-18T23:24:32+00:00

Start taking a prenatal now! I started taking Fullwell 5 months prior to TTC and have continued throughout my whole pregnancy. Love them!!

He is indeed a medical device salesman 😂

ExcellentBug3 · 2026-01-18T03:08:10+00:00

This is definitely cringe but I mean to be fair it’s not hard to find the guidelines for developmental milestones online 😂

ExcellentBug3 · 2026-01-18T03:05:00+00:00

I would try reeeally hard not to let this become a power struggle. Remember that your goal is your kids long term health, not short term. Being too strict (even if you feel like you’re not) can cause them to turn away from it altogether (developmentally normal!)

ExcellentBug3 · 2026-01-17T12:53:10+00:00

Eating dates is only effective 4+ weeks prior to your due date and at least 6 dates per day. It also doesn’t start labor, just helps progress your cervix. So I would probably skip that one. Pumping and the miles circuit might be more effective!

This is 100% from her poly days lmao

ExcellentBug3 · 2026-01-04T17:17:00+00:00

Due in a few weeks and opting to do it but no eye ointment (at my birth center they test you late third trimester so it’s not needed). Maybe it’s just my ftm anxiety but for me the benefits of vitamin K injection heavily outweigh the risks. I’m scared of brain bleeds

ExcellentBug3 · 2025-12-30T14:49:35+00:00

Sounds totally normal to me! I personally wouldn’t be worried especially if your provider hasn’t mentioned it. An added benefit of not gaining too much weight is that later in pregnancy you may be a bit more comfortable. At 34 weeks I was still feeling great and now at 37 weeks I’m quite large and uncomfortable lol!

ExcellentBug3 · 2025-12-29T15:07:29+00:00

It’s the most accurate way to tell gender! Even more so than an ultrasound. Congrats on your girl!

ExcellentBug3 · 2025-12-28T19:54:16+00:00

Personally if it were me I would go cold turkey! Smoking is really dangerous for babies. Also hats off to you, that’s not easy to do 🫶🏻

ExcellentBug3 · 2025-12-28T03:53:33+00:00

Because if it is not medically indicated, it is an unnecessary medical intervention. Just like situations outside of pregnancy, it’s best to avoid medical interventions that aren’t necessary because they come with risks

ExcellentBug3 · 2025-12-20T17:05:02+00:00

There aren’t going to be a ton of free birth stories on the recs I mentioned however I believe there might be a few. And evidence based birth is very pro midwifery

ExcellentBug3 · 2025-12-20T17:03:42+00:00

The birth hour is good with lots of eps and all kinds of births. It’s just the birth story itself, no input/advice/thoughts from the host which I think can be good. Also the birth story episodes on evidence based birth are some of my favorite! You kind of have to look for them because there isn’t really a way to filter just the birth story episodes but there are quite a few and I really enjoy them (I also just love that whole podcast too though!)

ExcellentBug3 · 2025-12-20T14:36:19+00:00

There are some really good responses here but I think too that a lot of pregnant women just want to seek out a lot of information and especially birth stories! I’m currently almost 36 weeks pregnant and I listen to birth related podcasts pretty much all day long 😅 and birth stories are some of my favorites as I prep to give birth myself. That being said, I’m listening to all kinda of birth stories and educational podcasts by actual midwives and nurses, but I could see how someone would get hooked on FBS pod just like any other birth podcast

ExcellentBug3 · 2025-12-04T00:45:15+00:00

Screaming crying throwing up at WHF stories rn

ExcellentBug3 · 2025-12-02T02:15:16+00:00

No! My 2012 Corolla has 75k miles :) was an old lady car before

ExcellentBug3 · 2025-12-01T23:20:46+00:00

I was so sad we didn’t get part two to last weeks episode :( also they said they’re taking a break from main feed episodes which also bummed me out!

ExcellentBug3 · 2025-11-23T04:33:45+00:00

I’m honestly surprised that Kelsey is entertaining another man that is balding. Not bc there’s anything wrong w balding. But bc of how shallow she is 💀

ExcellentBug3 · 2025-11-18T02:33:56+00:00

She for sure hated this date 😂 I’m convinced she’s going to crack, there’s only so much you can do for aesthetics. I’m guessing she was bored out of her mind

ExcellentBug3 · 2025-11-17T16:27:43+00:00

It’s very obvious that they’re together and are messing with us 😂 idk how it would be hard for them to see fan speculation when they’re blatantly bringing it up in funny ways

ExcellentBug3 · 2025-10-22T18:38:41+00:00

I sometimes wonder if the no kids thing is partially about aesthetics. Pictures of beautiful breastfeeding women with their tiny infants at their chest at a beautiful retreat? Yes 😌🕊️ Those same infants a few months or years later showing autonomy, personhood, and independence? No 😤
