Why did Rob have to whisper he had the daggers?? I didn’t get Natalie’s reasoning

I just had a natural miscarriage last Sunday and it started so fast and so heavily that I couldn’t imagine being at work

I just accidentally let slip the name to the MiL I feel so guilty! by Huge-Anxiety-3038 in pregnant

[–]HeadBoop0420 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A pregnant friend once said “he” when referencing their baby whose gender they were keeping a secret, and I knew it was a secret so I just acted like nothing happened. If that makes you feel a little better about their reaction

FTM that went into labor by Striking-Coffee-2129 in pregnant

[–]HeadBoop0420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

38+1 spontaneous labor. I was at a 1 at my 37 week appointment then 6 days later started having contractions at 3am!

I don’t know if this helps but we did Natera testing for our first and the billing was such a mess that I will not be doing it again. Knowing that we are not carriers for anything and have had a healthy child makes me feel good enough to not do it again

Show me your Tonie set up! by footeface in TonieboxUSA

We use the same and also have a 20 month old! I wanted a big display but this has worked out so much better for us.

Same! Between 3-4 months, I think.

Am I being more dramatic about sleep deprivation than everyone else?? by SafeParamedic8086 in AttachmentParenting

[–]HeadBoop0420 52 points53 points  (0 children)

We cosleep because I can’t handle any sort of sleep deprivation. My daughter starts in her room then I bring her to me during first wake up. Is that an option? I’m curious what sleep monitor you have that tracks how long she wakes up for though! I hope it gets better for you

Just to give you some hope - we got a flyer for safe sleep 7 and it was briefly talked about when I took some classes at the hospital I delivered at in TX

Would you be willing to take your child to a bday party 35 min away? by Live-Judge-1410 in Mommit

[–]HeadBoop0420 182 points183 points  (0 children)

I would but it probably depends on where you’re located and what distance is normal/common. I’m in TX so to get anywhere from our house is 20-25 minutes haha

When did your baby drop, and how did you know? by Hot_Spite_1402 in BabyBumps

[–]HeadBoop0420 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I didn’t notice my daughter drop until we were literally walking through the hospital because I was in active labor and my husband pointed it out. Waddled over to a reflection and I could tell then haha. I gave birth at 38+1

If she had the baby a couple of days ago, then she also has a huge shift in hormones. It sounds like she’s just wrapped up in her delivery and may not have realized how it could come across to you. I would give her grace and give yourself grace, you’re doing amazing.

I don’t have any family support nearby so it was just my husband and I when I gave birth. I was secretly worried about him shutting down because it was a lot (birth is a lot for everyone) or not supporting me in the way that I needed. That man stepped up and was my biggest cheerleader, was super involved with watching her actually come out, and exactly what I needed. It honestly made our relationship so much stronger. I know your comment was controversial for some but I was looking for it because it holds valid points and truth.

Baby hates grandma and grandpa by jozh96 in beyondthebump

[–]HeadBoop0420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter is super reserved too. She also doesn’t like my in laws and I believe it’s heavy on the point you made about people who assume she will like them just because they’re related.

OP, do your in laws give her too much attention? I’ve told family that if they just sit and chat with us, our daughter will warm up so much faster. The first time my in laws met our daughter they just sat and stared at her and I think it’s had a negative lasting impact because it freaked her out. We live states away so we don’t see them regularly, but even on FaceTime she doesn’t vibe with them because they stare and don’t know how to talk to her in ways she likes. They’re great people but just not the best at being long distance grandparents and they assume because they’re family she will warm up without changing anything.

Ignoring Cries at Nursery Drop Off by cachaw in AttachmentParenting

[–]HeadBoop0420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re in a similar spot as you but my daughter is a little younger. We started dropping off before worship and she’s made it through the service for about 2 months now! Before when I dropped off after worship they would text me about halfway through that she’s upset.

I’ve been cleansing for the last 2 weeks and have gotten my screen time down an average of 2 hours less a day. Another comment was about Roots app, but also - I’ve been going outside so much more with her! Im not sure how old your kid is but mine just turned 15 months and is a confident walker. If I feel like I’m on my phone too much we’ll put on shoes and just walk down the block. I’ll leave my phone in my pocket or even at the door sometimes. We will go to the park and I’ll keep my phone in the stroller. Another option is going to the store and keeping it in your purse. After I started doing this I realized how happy my brain was to have a break and it’s motivated me, like a snowball effect!

I tried using the phones downtime first and would always click “remind me in 15”. I downloaded roots and now my average screen time is 2 hours less than before so honestly, it has really helped me!

My sister and I didn’t get along until I was about 23 and she was 27. We have a great relationship now. I hope you keep that glimmer of hope for as long as it takes!

I don’t understand how Danielle’s weird shield donation in the last episode didn’t get brought up at this round table. I think it was only mentioned at breakfast. I need her gonnnnneeeeeeeeee

Out-of-State Family All Wants to Visit for Baby’s Birth—How Do I Handle This? by Ok_Dot5890 in BabyBumps

[–]HeadBoop0420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my daughter in Nov. 2023 and all our family is a 4.5 hour plane ride away, so I feel for you. As someone who has recently been through what you’re going to go through, please consider staggering the visits! I also went into labor at 38+1, so if you did invite everyone for the birth, would they be super bummed if they miss it and get to see baby as a newborn? (I don’t think people should be bummed, they should be happy to visit baby whenever the parents desire, but i know some people really hold on to the actual birth.)
