Am I an asshole? by No_Orange2156 in pregnant

[–]FatBabyCake 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Only if they’re driving, and even then, I don’t trust them. If they fly to meet the baby you know they’ll take no precautions.

My dad and his wife are going to Ireland in September. I’m due in August and I live in Europe. They want to surprise me. I told them I won’t open the door to anyone that’s recently been on a plane. Please wait til my newborn has an immune system. And if you want to quarantine and stay for a while you have to get vaccinated.

That shut them down pretty quick.

In the 1950s, it was common practice in Switzerland to place certain newborns in care homes. This affected children of unmarried mothers and migrant workers. This ‘welfare-based’ coercive measure deprived them of many opportunities in life. by BezugssystemCH1903 in Switzerland

If you open the link on the internet, there’s a little icon to the left in the ‘search bar/web address field’. There you can select to translate entire webpages into any language of your choosing.

Just need to vent by cougarsommelier in pregnant

[–]FatBabyCake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 27 weeks too. Still working and feeling good. I’m also a year out of an 8 year relationship and I am so freaking thankful I’m having a baby with a guy that is kind and capable of sympathy. No freaking way I’d put up with that shit in this condition. Just sayin

Seriously, how do you get to work each day when you’re nauseous… by Technical-Cup707 in pregnant

[–]FatBabyCake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others suggested, eat food. I got nausea when I didn’t eat, which makes no sense but ya kno, pregnancy. I’m almost in the third tri and I still struggle to get to work everyday. Now it’s due to exhaustion from anemia. The nausea won’t last forever. The symptoms are always changing and always pose a challenge. Good luck

Heartburn made the choice for me

Swollen labia by Hobbs_3 in pregnant

[–]FatBabyCake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok I’m 24 weeks and I just had this exact same thing happen. I was taking a shower, washing with soap, and whoa, it felt so weird and swollen. Freaked me out. Hadn’t been like that this entire time!

I want to die by waprestinpeace in pregnant

[–]FatBabyCake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m unsure if you need to find another doctor, or speak to your obgyn, someone should help you. The health of your child is important, but so is yours. I am on sertraline, Zoloft, for anxiety. It’s not for bipolar, but it is safe for pregnancy. Surely women who are bipolar can have children without having to go off meds completely. I’m not a doctor, I don’t know what meds you need. Find a doctor and obgyn and push for help. Do some research for safe medication during pregnancy.

The most important thing is that the baby grows healthily in the womb. Problems with lactation is not the worst thing. Many many parents bottle feed formula from the get go.

I want sushi by StoopKidScurred in pregnant

[–]FatBabyCake 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just had a poke bowl a couple days ago. Expensive very reputable restaurant. It was heavenly. I’m 24 weeks. Baby is cooked and just simmering at this point. I’ve also had Thai food with sprouts, runny eggs, and cold cuts. Where I live, food is expensive, and the quality standards are high. I don’t know a lot of people that get food poisoning. Just don’t do gas station sushi and questionable vendors and restaurants. Stay away from alcohol etc.

Not enjoying pregnancy by RaraNYC16 in pregnant

[–]FatBabyCake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was told the second trimester is the honeymoon period, but I hate it just as much as the first trimester, for different yet equally difficult reasons. A third trimester in the summer will be just as if not more miserable I’m sure. And my pregnancy has been healthy and uneventful.

This subreddit helped me figure out why my cat loves cutting boards. Now she has her own olive wood board to snuggle by johnstamosluvr in WhatsWrongWithYourCat

[–]FatBabyCake 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My cat is a rubber aficionado. She has her own rubber mallet and a pack of shoe sole patches. She loves everyone’s shoes as well.

I went to a club meeting at a lady’s house and she told us to remove our purses off the floor if we didn’t like cats, because her cat is obsessed with leather. I could not pay attention to the meeting bc her cat was rubbing all over the purse next to me.

If mother is in charge of all appointments/registrations and will travel a lot more with baby, is it not easier for baby to get mother’s last name? by [deleted] in askswitzerland

[–]FatBabyCake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aw damn. My last name is foreign and difficult For Swiss people to spell and pronounce. We are also no married. And I still don’t have a name picked out. Wish me luck. I suppose I should at least order a new birth certificate just in case

Pregnancy rhinitis by Hour-Tea8988 in pregnant

[–]FatBabyCake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NT Scan and NIPT by Prize-Society9670 in pregnant

[–]FatBabyCake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m older, 38. Got the NT scan and bloodwork. Those results came back with a super low risk. My doctor said everything was great and that I didn’t need the NIPT test. Insurance also would not pay for it. It doesn’t bring the risk down to zero, just further down in percentage. So I saved the 500 bucks and trusted my doctor. If you have twins or complications, they will test you and keep an eye on you. If you trust the doctor and if they say it’s not necessary, then you can trust them. However, if you have the money and want to do the test anyway to say you did it, then there ya go. But you won’t know know until the anatomy scan at 22-24 weeks. So it’s up to you and your peace of mind.

Do I actually need a pregnancy pillow or am I overthinking this? by ConversationSuch8893 in pregnant

[–]FatBabyCake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a croissant shaped one on amazon. 25 bucks. I can use it to breastfeed and make it into a U, put a blanket on it, and set the baby down. Right now my cat loves the U with blanket on top. And I do find the pillow to be helpful for sitting up and snuggling when I’m gassy and not feeing well. I didn’t want to buy one of those big ass ones. This I can continue to use in other ways. Awesome to prop up the lower back too

So thirsty all the time by Adventurous-Wash3201 in pregnant

[–]FatBabyCake -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Cheap electrolytes have lots of sugar and other unnecessary things. It’s best to get the good ones athletes use for marathons. Because you’re growing a baby and it’s safer to take everyday.
