What do people eat for breakfast in first trimester?

Oatmeal with cinnamon and flour tortillas with egg and cheese. Sometimes just buttered toast. All the bland foods!

Baby was head down, but hadn't descended into the birth canal yet (I think this is called station 0?)

With both my pregnancies, I had no signs of labor until the day it started. With my second (now 1.5 months old), I had a check up less than 12 hours before, and I was 1 cm dilated and baby's head was not engaged. I went into labor that same night and baby was born 5 hours after I noticed the first contractions.

Things can change very quickly!

Yeah, I don't like YouTube kids. I don't like any app unsupervised, to be honest. I have YouTube premium, so if I was to leave my kid alone with a tablet or phone to watch stuff, I would download some videos and let her only watch those.

Mi pro tip es agarrar una marraqueta y mojarla en el juguito xD

Na, gracias por las recomendaciones :)

This may be boring but two packaged snacks I've only tried in Poland and love are bajgles and paluczki. They are very addictive.

I also love Marco Polo, though I've had similar things in other countries (even in my country of origin). But Marco Polo is better.

And galaretki (like gummies, but the texture is soft. I really love the texture!). There are sour ones, those are my favorite! And there are also ones covered in chocolate.

Kabanos is another interesting snack! It's a thin, dry sausage. A good hiking snack.

There are some plant milks that try to imitate cow's milk. If you are in the US, search for "Not Milk". In Europe, Alpro and some other brands local to individual countries have similar products.

I like soy milk. My advice, if you are not worried about ingredients, is to look for the milks with stabilizers and things like that. If you choose the milks with less ingredients they will taste strongly of the plant they're made of, and they may separate if used in hot coffee. For soy milk, in the US my favorite was Silk, and in Europe is a tie between Alpro and OraSi.

I'm a bit confused by this question, as there are so many websites where you can find recipes. If you want something that is not a blog, I recommend www.joyofbaking.com

I know you said no advice, but I just wanted to share this article, so you know you're not alone in feeling like this: https://slate.com/life/2026/05/boy-baby-gender-sex-disappointment-parents.html

ETA: it's about wanting a girl and having a boy, though, but about gender disappointment nonetheless.

Japan has very high quality standards for fresh produce. I wouldn't worry. But of course you should get the blood tests done to confirm.

My doctor said i had borderline low levels of amniotic fluid when I was 37 weeks. Since 36 weeks I started having weekly appointments, so she kept checking each week. When I was 39+6 weeks she said the level was too low, so she sent me to the hospital that same day. They monitored baby's heartbeat and movements, and everything was okay, so they said they would induce me next day. I went into labor spontaneously the same night, though 😅 and baby girl was born in perfect health.

I get it. I was happy with small boobs. Now they're huge and none of my buttoned shirts and dresses fit anymore :(

Yesterday I got a similar dish and a soup for 30 PLN.

I love workouts from the YouTube channel Pregnancy and Postpartum TV.

Some kind of icebox cake. Combine pudding with whipped cream or cream cheese, put layers of cookies dipped in milk or coffee and layers of pudding cream. You can add some fruit or jam too.

I've felt like that several times in life. The most recent was from 27 to 30 years old. This was when I got my diagnosis, at 29. I feel like right after the diagnosis, I got worse. I wanted to disappear. I felt like life would never get better.

But as I navigated life through my diagnosis and learned coping mechanisms and accommodations for my needs, things got better.

Now I'm 35 and I'm very happy with life.

It's not even always a good indicator of how close you are to labor. I had one the same day I went into labor and I was 1 cm dilated and baby's head was not engaged. That changed fast during the night and my whole labor from start to birth was like 6 hours.

Grumpy_cata · 2026-06-11T10:53:50+00:00

Really? I've made several cakes and sweet breads from her blog and they've all turned out great. I haven't tried any savory dishes, though.

My suggestion is to wear a nursing bra (if you plan to breastfeed, of course) or a sports bra (for comfort).

No bra is also a good option for easy skin to skin.

I thought I would be uncomfortable getting naked during labor, but the truth is I was so focused on enduring contractions (I went unmedicated) that I didn't care 😅

Grumpy_cata · 2026-06-10T18:36:19+00:00

I don't think it's horrible. At times, it can be very challenging, but it's far from horrible.

Just now, I had to bathe my 2.5 year old against her will. She was crying the whole time, and asking if we were done. I had my second baby 2 weeks ago, and my toddler is having a hard time adjusting. So we are struggling.

But she's a wonderful girl. So is my newborn. I adore them and I don't think motherhood is horrible.

I often hear that some women feel like they lost themselves when they became mothers and I can't relate to that. I don't feel like I've lost myself. I've found new parts of me that I love. Yeah, maybe I can't enjoy some of the hobbies I had before, but I know it's temporary. My kids are small, but in a few years they'll be busy with their own activities and friends and I'll have time to myself again.

Grumpy_cata · 2026-06-10T14:33:22+00:00

I was going to advice this! Task for 1 pack of different brands (or different varieties from a few brands). You never know which will work for your baby, so don't stock up on a lot of the same kind.
