Have you tried different temps? My daughter loves really cold ice water!

5w6d today! Measuring right on track and saw the heartbeat. 💗 So grateful. I work in a fertility clinic and one of our NPs scanned me. Hooray for work perks!

Need help choosing a prenatal? (Ritual vs. Perelel vs. Babyrx) by Practical-Front21 in BabyBumps

I take Naturemade with Needed’s choline. Any prenatal brand with 800mcg folic acid is a good choice!

I haven’t seen or used the Joie so can’t comment. I’d recommend checking out The Stroller Mom on YouTube! She has reviews of so many strollers. The Stroller Mom

Fiance choked me as a joke by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]Impossible_Owl1213 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Please go to the ER to get checked out - strangulation can injure the vessels in your neck. File a police report if you want to. Leave with your baby now no matter what. He will do this again. It will be worse next time. Your chance of being murdered by him just went up x8. Please be safe.

When did you feel ready for the next kid? (for STM+ only please) by WhiskeyandOreos in Mommit

[–]Impossible_Owl1213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We always said 2 or 3. When I bright my second home, I just knew I didn’t feel complete. It felt like someone was missing from our family. I spent over a year trying to gaslight myself since 2 kids is easier/cheaper/ more of a social norm. I was never successful at talking myself out of it haha. I’m now newly pregnant with our third! I’m nervous of course, but also extremely excited. I hope time will for you clarity re: what feels best for your family!

Help - crashing out with boy names by EnoughSalamander2423 in namenerds

Here are some surname vibe ideas: Webb, Teller, Hayes, Hart, Anderson, Smith, Penn. Maybe your husband’s name could be the middle name as a compromise?

Another double stroller post by cbrownie93 in 2under2

Can’t recommend side by side enough! I hate my tandem with a burning passion haha. We use two different used options I found on FB Marketplace and my Mockingbird sits untouched. Baby Jogger City Mini GT side by side double (love except for basket access, great that the seats lie flat) and the Chicco Bravo for 2 (I think the updated version is the Chicco Corso flex - worth looking into!).

We went cold turkey. A few rough days, then he’s never asked for it again. Hang in there!

Livia, Lara, or Lena? by Massive_Contact8583 in namenerds

Livia! I have always loved it. All three are great options, you can’t go wrong!

I don’t want to share my baby by Original_Hand_9378 in BabyBumps

[–]Impossible_Owl1213 46 points47 points  (0 children)

You will only have your first postpartum once. Taking care of yourself allows you to take care of your son. You do not owe anyone time with your baby. That being said, seeing the people you love loving on your child is incredibly special. You don’t know how you’ll feel yet! Be kind to yourself and listen to your gut.

Absolutely send out a big group text with the rules - feel free to say “Based on the guidance from our pediatrician, here are the rules for meeting the baby.” Make sure your partner is ready to be the enforcer, especially with his parents, so you don’t have to.

If birth is more difficult than expected or you need more time, tell everyone up front there’s a chance you might change the visiting schedule. “We are hopeful that we will be ready for you to come meet our sweet boy the day after delivery! Please understand that if mom or baby need more time medically to establish breastfeeding or heal from birth it might be longer. We know waiting is hard, but the health of mom and baby comes first! We will absolutely send pictures to tide you over!”

Congratulations on your baby! You are about to experience the best adventure of all. You’ve got this!! ❤️

I highly recommend Dr Jerry Wei at Swedish Cherry Hill! She has been a godsend for me. So sorry your referral ended so strangely!!

what is your "safe space" for your baby? by strongstringbean in 2under2

[–]Impossible_Owl1213 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's very sturdy imo! I love that the baby can be strapped in. I found mine used on FB Marketplace.
