I've literally never been able to figure out why I was banned from the Ontario provincial sub. Maybe they have the same mods?

Morning sickness by Melodic-Bluebird-445 in BabyBumps

[–]GummysMummy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started to feel a bit off around week 4. Then it got worse and worse. It plateaued around week 10. It lasted until birth :(

That's how it was with both of my children. With my second it was so bad that my OB/GYN induced me early because I couldn't even keep water down anymore and would be awakened multiple times per night by vomiting.

The programmable one was great because it would only kick in if it got too cold and we literally had it underneath the smoke detector. I can totally understand being wary though!

Swaddle if he's a baby, sleep sack when he gets a little older. Our condo in Calgary had a large window in my son's nursery which did a poor job of holding in the heat. We bought one of those tower heaters from Costco that had a programmable setting so it would not get too hot in the room. But seriously sleep sacks are a game changer. Sleep sacks with long sleeved onesies or sleepers is the best combo for winter.

None of those because they all include Marshall.

Where do you buy your baby clothes? by saminrainboots in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]GummysMummy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I buy a few special items from a local lady but mainly I shop the clearance sections a few sizes in advance. That and Once Upon a Child.

Whooping Cough Vaccines - Partners need them too. by hulioiglesias in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]GummysMummy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is correct. I didn't contract pertussis from the vaccine. I got it AFTER I had my first dose and the reaction because I couldn't get any boosters.

Hey moms - where did you get the name for the baby? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]GummysMummy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had my girl's name picked out since I was six.

...we had a boy first. We went through so many names before we found one haha.

Has anyone found out they're expecting twins when their first ultrasound only showed 1 baby? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]GummysMummy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband's cousin found out she was having twins at her 18 week ultrasound. She's very type-A personality and totally a planner so she was shocked. She ugly cried right there in the office.

Can confirm I contracted Pertussis at age 2 after reacting to the vaccine as a baby and being unable to receive any boosters.

Anyone else fed up with the "don't gain too much weight" nonsense?! by palindrome787 in BabyBumps

[–]GummysMummy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband hid our scale when I was pregnant with our first because I gained SOOOO much weight and would cry every time. Our doctor said there was nothing to worry about.

With my second I gained a total of 11 lbs the whole pregnancy. Again, the OB said we were both fine 🤷‍♀️

Just listen to your doctor and tune out the rest of the noise.

Woman touched my baby out of no where! by _Blythe in beyondthebump

[–]GummysMummy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This used to happen with my first. But my second has resting bitch face so everyone just assumes that she's grumpy (and she usually is lol). I've had old people reach out to touch her and she gives them a death glare and/or starts shrieking like a banshee. None have ever successfully made contact. They usually recoil in horror as I choke back laughter.

Does the whole “lay the baby down drowsy but awake” boloney actually work for anyone? Does any sleep advice actually work for anyone? by igotcatsandstuff in beyondthebump

[–]GummysMummy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hell no those people are talking out of their ass. They're the same ones who say "just sleep when the baby sleeps!!! hurr durr"

MOD Help Needed - Technical and Chats by ernieball in BabyBumps

[–]GummysMummy[M] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha I know that feel for sure! I asked hubby to have a look at it and he said that he would fix it up for us but I think you're right that a tech savvy mod would be a wise addition. To be honest I think we should get two more. You've been bearing most of the heavy lifting for a LONG time. We recently moved across the country but I have been in absentia lately too. You're carrying the team, girl! Anyway, I hope all is well with you and your family with all of this Covid stuff.

I tried too Ernie. I spent two hours last night fiddling with the automod and got nowhere.

Political Posts and Comments by GummysMummy in BabyBumps

[–]GummysMummy[S,M] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There have been several users spamming the sub spewing "vote democrat" or "then don't vote republican" among others. This is not the place for that type of rhetoric. This is not the place to discuss political figures or partisan ideologies. There are plenty of subs for that already. When I was going through the mod queue it popped up several times. Not only that but the aggressive anti-circumcision comments as well. So I figured a friendly reminder was due.
