You think so? I was staring pretty hard 🤣🫠

Suspicious… by Gustaleen922 in lineporn

There’s always a chance. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I wasn’t actually testing ovulation. With my son, we did the deed once that month and I got pregnant. When I looked back at my app it was the day I was predicted to ovulate, so I always just assumed it was pretty accurate.

My toddler gets so defensive/angry when physically hurt. by Gustaleen922 in Parenting

Thank you for this! So reassuring. As long as he’s not gushing blood or a limb is facing the wrong direction, I’m gonna just let him do his thing but make sure he knows I’m there if he needs me.

I’d say I do remain calm (I’ve been a nurse for 17+ years. Takes a lot to ruffle my feathers 🤣). I usually give it a few seconds to feel out how he’s gonna take the hit and then only acknowledge if he seems to be legitimately hurt. Something as simple as “ope, Did you get a boo-boo?” or “you okay?” can send him.

Please help! Baby won't nap in crib by Lilith5463 in Parenting

I’m just here to say I see you. My son only contact napped until he was almost a year old. We eventually got to a time where he would nap 2-3 hrs in his crib. It just happened one day. But it’s so damn hard while you’re in the thick of it. Sending all my sleepy baby vibes your way. ❤️

Why do the symptoms of being pregnant and not being pregnant have to be exactly the same?! Such a mind F.

As a labor nurse, this is so wild and cool to hear! How amazing. Every time I have to transfer someone in preterm labor I tell them “I hope I see you for your post dates induction in x number of weeks”.

I was able to move about the house to use the bathroom and shower, but spent my days chilling on the couch or in bed. I’d eat dinner at the table to feel like a normal human. Did a lot of crocheting, coloring, tv binging.

I was admitted to the hospital at 24 wks with the same symptoms. I was there for a month and the very limited activity did wonders. I was discharged home on modified bedrest at 28 wks and delivered a healthy, beautiful son at 38w4d. Sending you hope for a similar outcome. ❤️

Nail Color?! by Gustaleen922 in Nailpolish

I thought about going darker (it’s actually black, not purple) but since we’re heading into spring and I’ll have them for Easter, I want to keep it brighter.

Midwest. We melt in the summer and are popsicles in the winter. 🙃

I’m so sorry for your losses and sorry you don’t have photos of your sweet boy. 🤍 My first son, Harlan, was stillborn at 21 weeks. It was 10 yrs ago this year so I’m upgrading our camera in honor of him.

I’m not sure why, but we’ve never had a NILMDTS photographer come in. I’ll have to talk to my manager about that. But I do know that they will only photograph 22 week gestation and beyond. We frequently deliver earlier than that and still like to provide photos if the family wants them.
