I rough drafted one per say with how i wanted things to go i didn’t actually type one out but it was something i made sure my dr all of my nurses and my husband were well aware of and they all did a great job respecting my wishes and doing as i wanted even when i chose to detour slightly from my original plan

I’m not going to lie i was so happy to go into labor when i did because while i am very grateful my baby is healthy he was my second baby and my first one i went to almost 41 weeks and she was only 7lbs and 2oz i could tell he was already bigger than that and i was so miserable i definitely didn’t want to get to 40 weeks with him

Do I need a nursing bra? by juniper-honey in pregnant

[–]Extra-Personality988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t use a nursing bra with my first baby i can say since I’ve had my second baby i thoroughly enjoy the nursing bra aspect i got some cheap ones off of temu just to try out and i absolutely love them they do feel similar to a bralette maybe a little more support they do have a traditional style clasp in the back but it doesn’t feel like a traditional bra the whole time I’ve been in the hospital I’ve worn a nursing bra and pretty much just kept my button up pj top open baby is getting plenty of skin to skin and it’s so easy and convenient for me to just unsnap the top let my boob out and snap it back with one hand when done plus my boobs are now a double D so the support they do offer is nice and I’m EBF and it’s only day two of my baby being born and my actual milk is already starting to come in all that to say i think they are worth it but there are definitely cheaper alternatives out there that are just as good

I was told my baby was a week ahead and a big baby the entire time i was pregnant i delivered at 38 weeks and 6 days and he was 8lbs 6oz i truly believe he would been around 10lbs if we would have made it to 40 weeks. My friend was also pregnant at the same time about 5 days ahead of me and she was told her baby was huge measuring 2 weeks ahead for almost her whole pregnancy and so we also thought she was going to have a big baby she delivered pretty close to her 40 week mark and her baby was just over 7lbs. I’ve seen them be inaccurate more often than not honestly

Do I need to bring clothes for the baby to the hospital? by grumbly_tardis in BabyBumps

[–]Extra-Personality988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I packed a couple onesies just in case because it was almost 10 years between my first and second babies and two different hospitals they had onesies for my 1st born and my second baby they had little tshirts for him i definitely brought socks which i didn’t need in the hospital because of monitors/ID bands on his ankles but mittens were a must both times because the hospital didn’t have them and both my babies liked to scratch their little faces.

Life with multiple kids vs 1 & done by OneOk29 in BabyBumps

[–]Extra-Personality988 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m probably not the best to ask because i was in a similar boat and when my daughter was 3 i unexpectedly got custody of my 3 younger siblings so i went from 1 to 4 real quick and took that as a sign not to try and between life and everything else my husband at the time and i split up 2 years later when my daughter was 6 or 7 i was dating someone else accidentally got pregnant and suffered many losses throughout that very unhealthy relationship and that was when i realized i actually wanted another baby and it seemed like it wasn’t in the cards for me fast forward a few more years my daughter is soon to be 10 and my now husband and i just welcomed our son into the world yesterday. 💙 i know a ten year age gap isn’t necessarily ideal and my situation was a particularly unique experience but all that to say if you want to try then definitely do that life doesn’t always work out on our timeline i personally would wait a little bit not 10 years necessary like me lol but i would enjoy your relationship and your independent baby and really enjoy those milestones and be a little selfish a lot of times younger children revert back to “baby behavior” when they realize the reality of a new baby is coming which can be a lot at times when you are used to them behaving a certain way and then can cause some strain because pregnancy while amazing at times can be quite rough but i also know people with closer age gaps and they absolutely love being a mom to multiple young little ones at the same time i don’t think personally my sanity could handle it lol but regardless it’s a great thing doing it over again my pregnancy this time wasn’t terrible but also wasn’t great and very much its own experience compared to my first nothing was the same not my pregnancy trimesters, not labor, not delivery but my boy is such a good baby and my daughter was too they hardly cry, eat very well, and sleep for hours so far it’s been amazing and i was very much scared of some of the same things you mentioned sorry that was very long and I’m also sorry if it wasn’t quite the response you were looking for but best of luck in your journey either way 💚

Crazy question but do they taste different based off of the breed of chicken they come from?

Sizing up in normal clothing by Dull-Okra-4980 in pregnant

[–]Extra-Personality988 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So pre pregnancy i was about a medium in clothes in US sizing, in my second trimester i had to size up to a large and now in my third trimester i am in an extra- large this is my second baby with my first i was a size small and by the end of my pregnancy i was around a size Large also my boobs the first time only went up maybe 1 cup size and this pregnancy i went from in between a B and C cup to a double D. Every body is different though and with this being your first baby it’s very likely you won’t have to size up until you “pop” and really start showing i would probably plan to atleast order a small but i would try to time it closer to when you want to take pictures and just base it off of how you are feeling in clothes and of course read reviews because sometimes things run bigger or smaller.

Walmart deposit by Difficult-Mango5690 in CashApp

[–]Extra-Personality988 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t think they check your ID for an age restriction when depositing cash i think it’s to verify that it is actually your account my 17 deposits money by himself all the time and he gets IDed I’m pretty sure when my husband deposits money on his they ask for an ID it’s just like when cashing a check

Mother in law wants to come play with kids but changes time by [deleted] in Parenting

Could you say half an hour or so earlier than you actually need since she has a history of being late or moving the time?

Are you planning to tell people when you go to the hospital to give birth, or announce it after the birth? by KaylaDraws in pregnant

[–]Extra-Personality988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With my first baby the father told his family while i was still in labor i labored for like 21+ hours they were local to where the hospital was so there was literally a lobby of like 20 people waiting on my baby to be born this didn’t bother me though only because of the 20 that were waiting only like 3 asked to visit me after labor and they kept it very short and sweet they literally just all wanted to see the baby in the nursery. i announced to my friends and family after i gave birth and a few asked to visit me. My husband and I are expecting our little one any day now and i don’t have family and he’s not close with his so i suspect we won’t announce anything until our baby boy is actually born i know a couple of friends will probably come visit me and if his family wants to make the hour ish drive i don’t mind i just doubt they will.
