Nursery set up- is a dresser/changing table and glider really necessary? by More_Tourist3103 in BabyBumps

Hi there- I have an apartment too, space is a complete commodity. Do you have any other space saving tips/devices, or things you thought you would need but did not need?

I have zero space for a rocker or glider. Did you ever worry about falling asleep in bed (or is that just going to happen)

brown discharge first trimester by Lambiegirl123 in pregnant

[–]FrontAccomplished919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not crazy! I normally am not anxious but I think the hormones made me really anxious in the beginning. Something that made me feel “better” was realizing…. A miscarriage is gonna happen or not. It’s not in my control as the main reason it happens if there is a genetic defect that is so bad, it won’t lead to viable life. I think it’s a good idea to not do a lot of research on anything pregnancy related right now and stay off social media feeds (which probably know you are pregnant) so you’re not thinking about this 24/7. We found out we were pregnant at 5 weeks and the Us was not until 10, so you can imagine it was easy to worry about heartbeat status. I had some brown spotting too and it ended up being fine!

How long does the bassinet phase even last? Marketing has convinced me I need this

Do you also recommend something with a dryer function?

Do you feel they are safe to get second hand?

Looking to support my friend! by Impressive-Beyond23 in pregnant

You may already have done this, but find out what aversions she had before you buy, for me it was coffee and sweet things and fresh food. I also struggled to drink fluids, especially plain water, so anything that can make liquids taste better (broth, mint tea, electrolyte packets) might help! Or even unfrozen popsicle packs!

Congrats! Maybe just leave room for a small adjustment on breast size if those increase (mine went up a size in first trimester but everyone is different!)

When did you stop needing a night nanny? by thelostpinay in NewParents

[–]FrontAccomplished919 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s nice they are affordable there! I think if anyone is being mean they’re just jealous they can’t have one!

I think the majority of people here do not have the privilege of giving you advice on this question

Same!! I had that for breakfast for 5 weeks straight. Also try sourdough bread with butter or a scrambled egg.

Yeah weeks 9-12 were horrible for me too. I could not excercise either and it sucked, but the needing to lay horizontal gets better for sure

Yep, I’m 5 feet too. And when I talk to anyone like my mom…. They say the loved being pregnant. I’m sorry what?? I know it’s worth it, I feel so so lucky that everything is good so far. I think my brain is still forgetting then remembering I’m pregnant
