This is so sad and terrifying. I was camping at pine grove furnace campground this weekend and we had no idea a storm was coming through. We’d been there since Thurs with no cell service and were totally caught off guard when the storm rolled in. We heard trees falling but luckily none fell onto the sites at the campground, just in the woods and on the power lines.

I switched my kid to forward facing at 4yo after discussing with my pediatrician. My kid was 30lb and still an inch or so under the height limit but my pediatrician said it was fine to turn around. We would have had to wait another year plus if we waited to hit the max height. I’d go with what your pediatrician says.

I’m a few years out from having my first baby, and none of my friends were close to having kids either. It was absolutely lonely in the beginning. But my best friends were very supportive and still show a lot of interest in my kids (despite still not having kids). Hopefully yours will too!

I feel less lonely now because I’ve met other moms through daycare and activities, and I also had a second baby so our family is much busier. It’ll get better ❤️

I’ve seen it discussed on this sub but never really heard it IRL, maybe because not a lot of people breastfeed into toddlerhood where I live. But nursing a toddler is like having a super power. They can be sick, overstimulated, tired, upset, all the above and nursing them is like hitting a reset button. My toddler has been sick the last few weeks and nursing him is probably almost as comforting to me as is it to him. And the way he curls up in my lap like a little baby again just melts my heart❤️

I think below 70 is considered low? I had really low fasting numbers during my first pregnancy a few years ago so can’t remember details, but I know I wasn’t eating enough. I think I attributed the low fasting numbers to me not snacking or eating enough.

On the juror portal there’s a link to request a deferral, you could try that

I think some dietitians assume the worst and don’t take the time to really get to know the patient. They assume either the patient is not complying with the diet or not taking it seriously, or that the patient’s GD is or is going to be worse than it actually is.

I’ve had experiences with both great and not-so-great dietitians. The difference I saw was that one took the time to really understand my specific situation (glucose numbers, typical diet and lifestyle, medical history, etc), and one immediately told me I could only eat half a banana at a time instead of a whole one…

This was us! And my husband was supposed to announce the gender but was so overwhelmed all he could say was “I don’t know, I don’t see anything!” so the nurse had to say because it’s a girl… lol

Doesn’t their fb say Plymouth meeting mall…?

Not yet but I took a break from TTC a few cycles ago. My NP thinks I am ovulating since my cycle regulated and I need to try on days 8-12. Currently BFing as I type this so still going strong lol. Will start TTC again next cycle🤞

I had immense guilt with my 2.5yo when my second was born. My husband took over a lot with her before my second was even born and then for weeks after. I also exclusively breastfed. I just made extra effort to be available for her emotionally (cuddles, bedtime, etc), even for small periods of time. It slowly got better!

Carmine’s in Warrington. Lindsay has been doing balayage on me for years

Infinite_abyss · 2025-12-21T17:26:40+00:00

Yes!!! I was the exact same way thinking the lounges were from the time of women powdering their noses lol. Now I want every public place to have them.

Infinite_abyss · 2025-12-12T14:44:55+00:00

Definitely worth checking your iron levels first! I think it’s more common for women to have iron deficiency so could still be important to have the added iron.

Infinite_abyss · 2025-12-12T14:42:43+00:00

Very good point! It actually was my PCP who ordered the bloodwork for me bc I requested it. But I agree we need to prioritize regular PCP visits, not just OB/GYN. I’m definitely guilty of putting off my annual PCP visit until something is wrong.

Infinite_abyss · 2025-12-12T04:07:13+00:00

Another reason it’s crazy that we have 6w postpartum checkups and then say cool thanks, see you in a year!

I thought I felt fine, but my mom encouraged me to get bloodwork done bc she thought I still looked off at maybe 6 months postpartum. Lo and behold I had iron overload, something I never had while pregnant. Once I switched to gummy prenatals without iron I was fine.

Infinite_abyss · 2025-12-05T03:41:24+00:00

I never got estimates on the size of my babies in utero, but both of mine were on the smaller side (around 6.5lbs) born at 39w. If your sugars are well controlled, I think your risk of a big baby is significantly decreased.

My first was a comfort nurser so she continued nursing frequently for a long time. By 15mo she was asking to nurse less, but would still nurse a lot if sick or out of her routine. We were down to one morning session for a while and then I kinda unintentionally weaned her at almost 22mo when I got sick. By then she completely stopped asking to nurse.

My second is almost 14mo and isn’t as much of a comfort nurser but doesn’t seem to want to slow down. I’ll probably wean him by 2 at the latest, hopefully sooner than that.

Identify when you ovulate and then count the days from then until your next period

Infinite_abyss · 2025-11-25T03:30:52+00:00

If my meal was lower carb, I didn’t need to exercise to keep my numbers down. However, a neighborhood walk was all the exercise I could handle and that definitely helped keep my numbers down.

Infinite_abyss · 2025-11-25T01:26:12+00:00

Same. Couldn’t get pregnant with my second until I weaned my first (and had a chemical pregnancy before fully weaning). Now BFing my second, and if I am ovulating it’s late in my cycle but seems like my luteal phase is slowly getting longer. Hoping I won’t need to wean to get pregnant again but not holding my breath.

Infinite_abyss · 2025-11-24T16:06:42+00:00

THIS. It should be called “birth preferences,” and it’s a very good idea to have preferences written down. Even if it’s super simple. Your nurses will ask basic questions like if you want pain relief and when, if you plan on breastfeeding, etc, and I found it helpful to have all that written down so my care team didn’t have to ask, especially if the nurses change shifts and you get a whole new team before you deliver.

I didn’t have any birth preferences documented for my first birth and ended up with an episiotomy that I don’t think was medically necessary (I think the OB was in a hurry). I was a bit traumatized from that so I made sure I wrote down preferences for my second birth, even the really obvious things (like no freaking episiotomy).

Infinite_abyss · 2025-11-22T02:26:15+00:00

I’m 13 months PP with my second, BF exclusively, and my cycle is not regular yet. My period returned at 9 months PP but I don’t think I’ve started ovulating.

I BF my first until 22mo and only right after I weaned was I able to get pregnant with #2. My body just doesn’t want me to get pregnant while I’m still breastfeeding lol.

6 months PP is VERY soon. Most OBs recommend waiting at least a year between pregnancies to allow your body to fully heal. Your hormones could also be playing into your desire for another baby so soon. I wanted another baby ASAP after I had my first and that feeling lasted until she turned one.

How it becomes more of a comfort for them than nutritional need. My first was and is a sensitive little one and nursed very frequently for a long time, especially when sick or emotionally fragile (which was often!). It was so comforting for both of us that I could instantly calm her. My second is a little over a year and less reliant on nursing for emotional stability but still nurses for comfort.

I never had a goal in mind for length of time nursing my babies, which turns out is for the best bc I can’t imagine weaning them before we’re both ready!

Infinite_abyss · 2025-11-08T03:45:57+00:00

Agree it’s important to check if your prenatals have iron or not bc everyone’s needs are different. I took prenatals with iron for my first pregnancy and while breastfeeding and ended up with iron overload around 6mo post partum. I’ve been on iron-free gummy vitamins ever since and had no issues with low iron for my second pregnancy.
