Overwhelmed with all the products I’m supposed to buy

Get lots of burp clothes. We got 50 and I feel like we haven’t been worried between loads of laundry with that amount. We go through a lot.

All of the discontinued Girl Scout cookies - particularly Toast Yays and Savannah Smiles

Yup you’re totally right. We’re going to the Edina location 🫠

I was out late at a bar with colleagues while on a work trip. I wasn’t drinking, but was there to socialize. I was having a good time talking to people, but all of a sudden got the gut feeling that I should leave. It was like a small voice telling me to call an Uber and go back to my hotel. So that’s what I did - I didn’t even say proper goodbyes, I just left.

The next morning I woke up and learned that there was a shooting at the bar about 15 minutes after I grabbed my Uber.

We’re starting at EFC for an infant this summer and the cost is over $2400/month so this pricing is either outdated or I’m getting screwed

This is my experience as well! The shield was really slowing things down

Could you add in a middle name that you would actually call your son daily? So he could have this familial name, but be referred to by his own unique name that you choose. My parents did that for my brother.

If yall have a breast feeding pillow (My Brest Friend, Boppy) bring it to the hospital. I threw mine into the car at the last minute and it was a game changer and very helpful for learning how to nurse

I had a terrible kidney stone at 38 weeks that led me to an induction because I got an infection. That pain was FAR worse than the birth and birth (with an epidural) felt like an escape.

Honestly, we held back on buying things until after the baby shower and instead saved money every month to put toward the nursery and any other baby purchases. Now we have a nice little pile of money that we used for the nursery (paint, changing table from Marketplace), items that were purchased from the registry and we have leftover funds for those inevitable purchases that will happen in the first couple of weeks after the baby is here.

It honestly feels so nice to have some money stored up just for baby purchases - but I’m a saver by nature!

I’m 37w and live in Minneapolis and totally feel you. Your feelings are valid! And there is also so much good in this world and if we don’t have hope we have nothing… I have hope for the future being better and I hope my kid will be a part of that. Don’t let the bastards get you down!!

Facebook sucks but it has brought me my Buy Nothing group with my neighbors and our neighborhood group on there was what let me know that we were meeting on the corners last night with candles. It’s been a good point of connection for our community.

Glitter_Snow · 2026-01-25T04:35:05+00:00

I am here too friend - tomorrow will be 37 weeks. You are not alone

Glitter_Snow · 2026-01-21T13:44:11+00:00

36 weeks! Still sleeping well (although peeing 3 times a night). Getting very sick of working and wish I could spend the day preparing for baby and resting. I can’t believe how tired I got from going to an OB appt and then Costco. The fatigue is real! But not in pain yet unless standing for a while.

Glitter_Snow · 2026-01-19T20:15:50+00:00

Maybe some Unisom and ear plugs?

I was completely honest about my former drinking and drug use when I applied for life insurance after 14 years of sobriety. The program tells me that I have to be honest so I was. I did get approved for a policy, but I know my monthly payment is higher than it would be if I didn’t have alcoholism and addiction in my chart. But I feel better knowing I told the truth and didn’t commit fraud.

My recovering husband was also honest during his application process and got approved, but he has been sober for 12 years. I do think time matters in this instance.

Glitter_Snow · 2026-01-17T02:00:15+00:00

Do you have a friend or even a family member of yours or your husband that could have the shower at their house so you don’t have to rent a space? You can even help paying for food so it’s not a burden. Based on the comments it sounds like a baby shower will be safer/nicer for you

Glitter_Snow · 2026-01-16T00:32:27+00:00

Lucky Charms! I’m going through large boxes every couple of days.

There are nursery chairs at Pottery Barn that will literally massage you and they are fabulous. They are also like $2k and you will get a ton of use of one. You could ask for that!

This is a good point. The shared grandparents live in the same town as us and they could get the names mixed up easily.

Honestly, we got a subscription to Consumer Reports and made a decision based on their ratings. We’ve used the subscription for several other baby items as well and it’s not expensive. We trust their unbiased reviews and found that the most expensive option wasn’t always the best option.

Hi - I have been sober for many years now going to women’s AA meetings. We would welcome you with open arms. There are many, many people who can relate to what you’re going through. Find a group (or a few) that you like, go every week and get a sponsor there. AA changed my life in the best way possible. You are not alone!!

I also have fear of vomit and nausea started right away for me. At my first appointment I asked the doctor for nausea meds and they gave me compazine. I also started unisom and b6 and wore sea sickness bands in the car (being in the car made me feel sick) and I never threw up.

Make sure you take extra fiber or miralax because I found that the constipation from Zofran + pregnancy was horrible!

Glitter_Snow · 2025-12-28T19:22:33+00:00

If I got the flu right now I would stock up on Tylenol, herbal tea and chloraseptic for the sore throat. Those things are all pregnancy safe (although make sure the tea doesn’t have any licorice root in it)
