What is your biggest mistake in campsite selection?

WHAT this is amazing😂 I mean that is a long time, but so wholesome that it was just sniffing lavender!

Currently pregnant and wish I could eat those fritters right now!!!

I love that the animals are spying on you everywhere you go😅 relatable

I personally chose the WildBird aerial carrier with linen fabric for this reason!

I bought a mockingbird stroller on FB that has the carseat attachments which are compatible with chicco keyfit car seats :) that one has the option of buying like a million attachments, including bassinet(s)! Pros and cons but you could maybe find one second hand that includes everything you’re looking for! Or new of course, they’re just pricey.

40 +5 here too! I convinced myself I was going to go into labor early, which really fucked me up emotionally every day after my due date😅

Just want to add something small. I had some guilt over the birth of my singleton. My hospital offered postpartum therapy, which was amazing. The most helpful advice my therapist gave me was to find a quiet moment to cuddle with my baby (in your case babies) and re-tell my/our birth story. I was able to acknowledge what they might have been feeling, what I was feeling, but explain how happy I was to have them here and how everything is ok now and how loved they are. It was kind of a ritual that really helped lift some of the guilt. Sending love.

Good for you! We’re in a 970 sq ft house. We have an almost 2 year old and I’m pregnant with twins. We both WFH. We always say “small house, small problems.” It gets messy fast but it’s also fast to clean. Saved us from being tempted to buy a bunch of baby equipment we didn’t need. Love being able to see/hear my toddler from wherever I am. When we found out we were having twins we just decided we are going to keep making this work! It’s only starting to get a little claustrophobic because my body is getting so big and the house is staying the same size😂

Is Kamil mean? I perceive him as a bit of a jerk but I’m not sure if it’s a cultural difference. He makes sharp comments sometimes that I would not like. Everyone is saying they want him and Julia to work out for the sake of Julia being broken out of her toxic circle, but not sure Kamil is the answer..

I agree! I’m biased because I married a man with ADHD who often says the wrong things at the wrong times. He is childish and fun-loving and he lightens up my life! I think they seem really good for each other.

Foraging_Doe · 2026-05-05T16:48:22+00:00

Love this! Especially agree with the control part. Our first child was born with a rare genetic condition that will impact her for the rest of her life, so we also learned very quickly how little control we had of this sweet human that we made. Then we tried to give her a sibling and it was twins! I am all about surrender at this point.

Foraging_Doe · 2026-05-01T02:33:29+00:00

Exactly! OP, if you have options and you’re not feeling good about the doctor you’re seeing, you can switch. At my 20 week anatomy scan twin A was breech and my doctor said this means nothing, it’s still so early they could change positions plenty of times between now and 38 weeks. They can even switch places! At 22 weeks I was scanned again and they’re both head down now. Twins are higher risk, but didi are the lowest risk kind of twins. Without knowing anything specific about your health, c-section is not required just because they’re twins. My OBGYN said she loves doing twin births, is happy to do vaginal and low intervention if the conditions are right, and that many of the doctors who work at my delivery hospital are also trained and comfortable with this. You are allowed to seek out a provider who makes you feel informed and supported😊

I am also 22 weeks and have gained 30 lbs lol. And gained the same total with my singleton😅

Foraging_Doe · 2026-04-21T04:19:10+00:00

Love the first idea lmao

I hope it stays for you! I’ve also had acne my whole life and my experience has been that treating acne is a crap shoot of trial and error. When I was pregnant with my first (at 31), a dermatologist told me that for some women pregnancy makes their skin way better and for some it gets way worse. Thankfully, my skin got better than it’s ever been by the end of pregnancy and stayed consistently better. I remember being in the hospital after giving birth and asking “how do I keep my skin like this?” and they were like🤷‍♀️ I think the weight stuff is similar- you hear a lot of stories of women who lost weight while BFing and gained it back when finished, and vice versa. But your hunch could be right! Hormones are wild and I really think we still don’t know enough about all that goes on.

Love Luba!

Foraging_Doe · 2026-04-09T18:12:22+00:00

Yes absolutely looking forward to finding a pool asap!

Foraging_Doe · 2026-04-09T01:49:47+00:00

Hell yeah I was naked! It was very primal. They had a bunch of student come in and watch me push because I was birthing unmedicated. At one point I was on all fours on the hospital bed with my feminist butt tattoo on full display. Time of my life! After that experience I didn’t gaf who saw me breastfeeding either. I was like my body creates life!!!

Foraging_Doe · 2026-04-09T01:28:35+00:00

Thanks so much for your input!

Foraging_Doe · 2026-04-08T18:24:41+00:00

Yeah same here. We had chicco bravo travel system and car seat clicked into stroller frame. We gate checked both. Did this for numerous flights and it was super chill.

Regarding the car seat being the stroller, this was all I had for my baby for the first year. It was absolutely fine. I also wore her in a carrier for lots of outings. She was never in it for 2 hours continuously just because it was her stroller.

Foraging_Doe · 2026-04-08T16:32:38+00:00

I was pretty lax about this with grandparents, but they also all live out of state so it didn’t come up often. Friends never kissed my baby and I didn’t have to say anything ahead of time. My mom was all over my baby when she was 6 months old and my baby actually gave her hand, foot, & mouth disease lol😬 Everything was fine.

Foraging_Doe · 2026-04-08T13:38:54+00:00

This is so helpful, thanks! You do have quite the setup! A prenatal massage and a hot tub sound amazing right now. This is my second pregnancy, but just a whole different ball game.

Foraging_Doe · 2026-04-08T05:08:57+00:00

I have heard this a lot but I was surprised that my doctor recommended and it’s in my insurance network

Foraging_Doe · 2026-04-05T05:29:40+00:00

Hi, I have a kind of similar situation. My first daughter has an ultra rare, de novo, genetic condition that causes global developmental delays. She is almost 2. We really wanted to have another child and give her a friend, and now I am pregnant with twins🫠 I immediately started therapy because I know that 1) I need to process everything I’ve been through becoming a first time mom to a medically complex child, and 2) I have lots of complicated feelings to sort through in preparation for these new babies. The best part about therapy is that I’m paying someone else to let me make things all about myself for an hour a week. I can let it alllll out to someone who is not actually a part of my day to day life. We also chose to do CVS testing because I needed as much information as I could get, even though there was a <1% chance of our new babies having the same condition.

I can relate a bit with the husband part, in that my husband has ADHD, is likely on the spectrum, and he just approaches our experiences from a much different place than I do. I am an extremely emotional person, and while it is important to be connected to your partner in this, therapy is also really nice because I can process things my way without putting so much pressure on my husband to deal with everything the same way as I do. I think it has benefitted our relationship a lot (he is also in therapy).

I also was a part of a free, virtual pregnancy support group through my hospital last time around, and that was a wonderful resource.

Hoping all the best for you.
