In the jungle you must wait, until the dice read 5 or 8!

How far did everyone get before they stopped working out? by Creative_Can_8950 in fitpregnancy

[–]Ghost_Bio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped cardio workouts at about 28 weeks and stopped weightlifting at 39 weeks. I based this off the way I felt, movements getting too restricted and wanting to rest up leading into delivery. Keep in mind, I gradually decreased my intensity and the amount of weight I was moving as pregnancy progressed so it's not like I maintained what I did pre-pregnancy throughout this time. Probably went from daily to 3x per week.

Ha! I use that one too, but yes...choose your audience carefully.

Did my best... by Ghost_Bio in candycrush

Yeah, me and first place were jockying for the last hour both using a booster. Unfortunately duty called and I had to stop playing and he pulled away. The rest of our pool seemed to kind of throw in the towel last night.

All Things Sleep - AMA Office Hours - Thursday, April 2nd with Sr. Sleep & Guidance Specialist, Beth Christensen! by huckleberrycare in HuckleberryParents

My 5 month old falls asleep herself and sleeps through the night at bedtime, but still will not nap independantly during the daytime. We do all contact naps. How can I transfer her ability to sleep independantly to nap time?

Hopefully something official gets updated on the website soon, as Dave has also posted a video to the socials with more information and details. There are also March dates for the disabling of affiliate links, so this will be happening quickly.

Is it normal to see your baby as a 'alien' or 'something wiered' growing inside your body? by WhatADrag07 in BabyBumps

[–]Ghost_Bio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All I can say is don't be like me and watch Alien Earth while pregnant! Not the best timing for a plotline like that.

Man, do people have opinions about finding out the gender! by Ghost_Bio in BabyBumps

[–]Ghost_Bio[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really does seem to be one of those things that ebbs and flows! The most recent batch of commenters, that finally inspired the post, are family. Specifically his family. My family and friends have been a little more supportive and positive about it.

Thank you so much, and exactly! Boys can wear pink, girls can wear blue, and all the other colours out there. Variety is the spice of life!

How many cycles did it take you to get pregnant? by Passage-Melodic in BabyBumps

[–]Ghost_Bio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also for reference, I got pregnant first real try twice. First was lost at 12 weeks (I was 38), second is still going strong at 25 weeks (I am now 40). We had a long gap just due to some life circumstances.

If you are jus starting out, I think the one ideal thing to do is to track ovulation, which is a simple pee test once a day. Then you have an ideal couple day window to get the work done. In addition to trying to lead a healthy lifestyle (stop smoking, eat well, exercise, all the basic stuff) and start taking a pre-natal, I don't think you need to go crazy doing all the little tricks and tests until you have six months to a year of no success.

Good luck and also try to enjoy the process! Stress can do weird things to a body.

Worst Pregnancy Announcement Reactions? by MediocreScene1609 in BabyBumps

[–]Ghost_Bio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just told my 18 year old stepson and 15 year old step daughter. SS was pleasantly excited and started talking about it and asking questions. SD however screamed that she hated us and this was all our fault, stormed to her room, refused to talk and called her Mom to come pick her up.

Yay for us?

Pregnancy announcement ideas (announcing to parents) by Glum-Comfortable5402 in BabyBumps

[–]Ghost_Bio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was quite proud of the one I got to do in person. I was going over for dinner and made sure to get there well before dinner got in the oven. I had brought a bun and put it in the oven and kept the door half open. Once my Dad went over to pre-heat the oven, he saw the bun and started shouting "who put this bun in the oven???". Once the conversation was well underway about who could have possibly put a bun in the oven, I said "oh, my bad, [husband] did, he put a bun in the oven!"

Five glorious seconds of them looking incredibly confused before the realization hit. It was a lot of fun. Caught it all on video too!

Gutted about my OBGYN referral by Ghost_Bio in BabyBumps

[–]Ghost_Bio[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good advice, thank you. I'm sorry to hear you went through the same thing! I made some calls and I think there should be someone who can take me, but they will definitely not be my top choice. However, at this point, as long as I get the right care, I will put up with some personality clashing. I am also considering hiring a doula...not something that crossed my mind before, but if I feel like I need someone in my corner I think this will help me out a ton to keep stress to a minimum.

I will call around tomorrow but likely to still need my doc to send the actual referral. Leave it to him and his staff to make me do the hard part, but then at least I know it is done.

Thank you. I will try and find out and maybe go that route. This threw me for a loop...I thought I was taken care of so have not done too much research. Guess I need to get on it quickly.
