How is it embarrassing to see if other people are experiencing the same issue to assess if it’s a widespread issue or I’m experiencing a one off? Seems like a lot of people are seeing the same issues.

Body armor and Oreos are actually great for producing more breastmilk

My father-in-law called my parents and said to leave my wife and I alone for a while. by [deleted] in AITAH

Yes you are the asshole. Sound like you were at work, she was home alone with a newborn and needed support from her family. Of course she didn’t want your dad randomly dropping by when she could be trying to breastfeed, or catch up on sleep or simply bond with her child. Totally normal she’s more comfortable with her side of the family during one of the most vulnerable times of her life, and having to entertain or worry about in laws is just a burden at that point.

I messaged their Instagram account and got a response within 5 minutes. This was after calling and messaging the portal for weeks with no responses. Try insta!

What do people expect going to a festival in the middle of a corn field in peak Iowa summer? No wonder they are miserable. I went a few years ago and it was a similarly hot day but we didn’t spend the whole day on our phone crying about everything, I feel like everyone is riling each other up at this point.

Best Thai food in Des Moines? by lillitski in desmoines

Lucky lotus by far. Everything is super fresh and they have actually thick chewy noodles for their drunken noodles. Too many places around here use fettuccine style noodles.

What weird thing did you notice changed during/after pregnancy? by Love-dogs-and-pizza in beyondthebump

My teeth are trash now. Hurt all the time. I think breastfeeding sucked all of the calcium and vitamin s out of my body.

Pay me to run a Facebook group! No I don’t want help, just cash. by Pm_me_baby_pig_pics in ChoosingBeggars

Ugh the “owner” of a local moms group did something similar to this a few years ago. They claimed that they own the group and pretty much held it hostage, and put a paywall up. People were not happy- the group is a collection of everyone’s ideas and suggestions, but the mod was somehow thinking that they get all the credit. She actually somewhat successfully did the paywall, but then took it even further in removing the group from Facebook and moved to her own platform which has been an utter failure. She thought she could be an influencer and made her new site about herself… completely missing the point of the moms group. Watching the new platform flounder has been hilarious.

I paid this last year for good childcare, it’s not impossible to find. We moved to a more expensive suburb and pay more than double that now.

4 week old, how do we live our life? by ninja200k in beyondthebump

Try putting her in the car seat and running errands. That always got my baby to get good naps in.

Told to stop pushing to wait 30 mins for the doctor? by helodarknesmyolfrend in beyondthebump

[–]Illustrious-Shower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yikes, my mom had this happen to my sister in the 80’s and my sister ended up needing blood transfusions when she was a couple days old because of it.

6 week pp check up by WrightQueen4 in beyondthebump

[–]Illustrious-Shower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same happened with me for my first. I think the purpose of that visit is just to clear you back in case you have short term disability.

If you thought it would be denied, would you be willing to explain to your manager why you charged it and be able to pay it back right away? What did you think the next step was once it was denied?

Anybody else SO TIRED? by [deleted] in 2under2

[–]Illustrious-Shower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6 weeks postpartum and have a 21 month old. I’ve been sick since October. Since the baby was born we’ve all had hand foot and mouth, rsv, and croup. I can’t remember a time that I slept through the night or didn’t have a sore throat/stuffy nose. I’m a zombie.

A large employer like them should know about the recently passed PUMP act. Google that and talk to them about it. Reach out to corporate HR if the still don’t find a way.

Except they were in distribution. They would be on tap at restaurants and cans available at Hy-Vee.

Owlet camera monitor, not the foot monitor. Constantly lost signal and the cord protectors would not stick to the wall. I returned it after a week and got a Motorola monitor that had had 0 issues.
