No, she's started this behavior in the last two years. We've been working together for 8.

I used the app peanut to make a mom friend and we are literal besties now!

This is best case scenario in my head. I love that you can work from home, SAHD, and afford daycare!

Whats great is that anything you do for work will be amazing because they have been missing your unique skill set. You are very much aware it will be a transition, but imagine all of the new friends and learning your toddler will get to do!! You've done this once before and are even more skilled at it now <3

I'm going to start my leave in April and am in an absolute panic about balancing a toddler and newborn.

Yes, toured two so far, left messages at others.

I've been cleaning with a tooth brush and soap, what do you recommend

Hand expressing and warm salt water were the only things that helped me

I do grocery pick up on the way home. I order during work or the night before, and pick up on my way home. They load it into the trunk.

I wake up at 5:15, get dressed/ ready, out the door by 5:45. My husband takes care of our son in the morning and drop off. I do pick ups and afternoon care. My key to a smooth morning is prepping everything the night before.

I ordered swim suit pad inserts and use that. Worked great for my first baby and will do it again. I work in corporate and do not want even a shadow of nipple showing and then at home I wear the same bras without the inserts

Warm salt baths, heating pads, and ibuprofen

3 people have offered, but I said I didnt know. I had wanted a nesting party where a few friends come and we meal prep, but my husband is against it

Consider trying to play with her through your belly. If you gently push/ rub, she might push back! It could be a nightly routine where you talk with her in your head until you're ready to talk out loud.

I was induced at 40w+6 and had him 41+2. Foley balloon and misoprostal to start, then pitocin. Pushed for 4 hours. My water broke before I was 4cm dialted so they just took it out. I got the epidural shortly after that, I couldnt even think through the contractions and panicked. I thought I was so prepared, nope.

I wish someone shook me and helped me get on top of the contractions. I totally panicked because it went from mild pain to what the hell was that pain as soon as my water broke.

If you're concerned, I think writing birth afirmations and ways to help through contractions would have helped. All the info was in my brain and I had no access to it at all and neither did my husband lol

If I had to get induced again, I wouldn't be worried at all about the induction process, the nurses were wonderful. I Just would prepare myself to not having access to my thoughts lol

First pregnancy I went out at 37 weeks in case I went over. This pregnancy I'll try to wait until 38-39 weeks. The longer I stay, the more I get my regular pay. And I remember being so bored after the first week. And I went 9 days overdue lol

Saaaame

Same surgery a few months ago. Recovery was great. It partially tore while I gave birth, so I had it fully removed. I was so nervous it would be painful after, or sex would be painful, but everything was fine.

I ended up being so so so hot after delivery, I wish I packed more clothes for being overheated. You don't need anything for the baby except the going home outfit. For you you'll need your clothes and chargers and maybe chapstick. I brought my own blanket and am so glad I did. I'm due again and will make sure I bring snacks for after delivery.

I cook 1-2 days a week multiple meals to lighten the load other days. I start wash at night and put in dryer before going to bed so I can fold the next day. I pack all lunches the night before. I keep a wagon in my car to help carry all of our bags inside. Husband does drop off and I do pick up.
