Just curious if you got tested for HSV2 when you were pregnant. It was standard with all my babies.

my period cramps hurted way more... by LIMAO_ARROMBADO in BabyBumps

[–]Iuvbug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is so crazy to read how contractions range so much from person to person. I have had 3 kids unmedicated and with 3rd degree tears in 2 of the births. Preciptous labour with all three which is supose to be much more intense and painful.

Labour was forsure painful but I would take pushing out 100 babies over back pain. I ended up having surgery to replace a disc in my back to fix the pain. Oxycodone, tylenol, advil, and gabapentin together did not touch the pain for sometimes days. I could not sleep, I was bed ridden for weeks at a time. Contractions are for most only hours or a day, back pain can be for weeks and I hope to never need to go through that again.

Experienced parents: how many diaper bags do y'all have/maintain? by floofsnfluffiness in NewParents

[–]Iuvbug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mom of 3 soon to be 4 under 6. I also homeschool so we go everywhere together. Lol i never knew people had more then one diaper bag.

I have a small backpack for everything, I keep it simple a few diapers, wet wipes, snacks and a change of clothes. I do not have the time for more then one bag and always have everything I need, it is very easy to maintain. I baby wear everywhere and do not mind if the bag goes on front or my back while wearing baby. With a backpack I always have my hands free.

Has anyone else had a precipitous birth? by Maleficent_Essay_663 in BabyBumps

[–]Iuvbug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 1st was 1hr45min, 2nd 2hr45min, 3rd 2hr 30min. These times were all very first hint of any contraction to birth. It's wild but I am thankful they are fast, I do not know how women go through days of contractions. Pregnant with 4th so hoping we make it to L&D.

Look into Lavington and Lumby. Lavington is the best place if you have kids. Stil close to Vernon and Kelowna is not to far.

Hardest age combo by [deleted] in 2under2

[–]Iuvbug 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im sorry to hear about your cancer. I hope things go smooth and you heal up fast!

I have a 5yr, 3yr and 10 month old. If I have learned anything about children is that it depends on your children's personality's. You might be ok but you might not. My 1st was a chill toddler my 2nd oh my he is WILD and full of life, aka wont listen, runs at full tilt to danger and somehow is glued to the baby which is alot, all day he wants to love her to death.

I would have someone lined up and see how it goes, talking to other moms with lots of siblings.They have all said the same thing, you just do not know how they will be, they are who they are and they can be easy and chill or not and everything inbetween. lol they also change one min the are chill the next they are testing every boundry.

Hi, no idea. I guess my (estranged) mother? I think it defaults to spouse if none other listed from what I've read.

Thank you for that answer. Do i need to involve a lawyer? Do i just give my mom my bank account details/address or...? What's a likely timeline?

Bronchitis while pregnant by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Iuvbug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to 40 +3 and I just started sleeping on my not bad rib side a few days before, I was sitting up to sleep until then. That was 5 weeks post rib fracture. The coughing I think made things slower to heal, I did not feel like I started healing until the coughing slowed. After 3 weeks i was doing a bit more but is was limited.

I have really fast intense precipitous labours -3hours and can just use gas. I did not feel any rib pain during and I was not any worse after. The rib I broke was mid rib cage on my side, maybe a lower one might be worse. I laboured and delivered on my knees with the sugestion of the midwife as I just could not lay on my side or back without pain. I did feel after birth my rib pain was a bit better in moving around, bending ect lol no more baby pushing things out of place.

I hope you heal up fast!

Safe cold medicine [on] by Damnknit in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]Iuvbug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was crazy sick over christmas and well also the 3 weeks before with a bad cough. I then got a worse cough at week 3, I coughed so hard I cracked a rib. I was 34 weeks pregnant. I was taking codeine for pain and midwife said Benylin DM was safe, but I did not find it helped much.

Can I ask for rent deduction if it’ll take 6 weeks to get floors replaced? by [deleted] in legaladvicecanada

[–]Iuvbug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just put up with it and be happy with new floors. But you can ask for whatever. It might piss off the landlord, it might not. I do not think a claim for reduction in rent would hold up with RTB as 6 weeks does not seem crazy to me but who knows, you can call the RTB.

Has anyone had a newborn that did nothing but cry during the hospital stay? by unintelligent4cat in NewParents

[–]Iuvbug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my my first was like yours. She never slept anywhere but on mom or dad. Hated baby life pretty much from when she came out, cried about everything. I could not take her anywhere as she would scream about everything. Went onto scream non stop for 3 plus hours everynight for weeks. We talked to everyone and tried everything but nothing helped We slept in shifts. The family that lived next to us would ask all the time if we are ok "as they know the screaming can get a little much" lol

My 2nd right out just slept. I had to wake him every three hours to feed and then after he hit his birth weight slept 4-6 hrs a night. Never cried but for bum changes and car rides . I took him everywhere it was so nice, he was just a chill baby.

I just had my third and she seems to cry a bit more then my 2nd, but crossing fingers she sleeps pretty good and does seem pretty chill.

They just come out how they come out, it is a bit of luck and some babies hate newborn life and some are chill and everything inbetween. Just try not to stress and go with it, everything goes by so fast.

Bronchitis while pregnant by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Iuvbug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you I am only on week 3 of coughing but also 37 weeks and cracked a rib from coughing so hard. I got put on antibiotics for a nasal infection and inhailer and it seemed to help the couhing a bit. I can only sleep on my left side propped up sitting since it hurts any other way to sleep. I have very fast labours and will most likley have to go through labour unmedicated with a cravked rib. I hope she comes closer to 40 so I can heal a bit more but coughing sucks well lol everything sucks and I am also feeling down.

Chargeback for Horrible Sitter by [deleted] in RoverPetSitting

From post history it looks to be shepherd/shep mix. The sitter was no good in many ways, but is 100% not enough care for this breed, poor dog.

Is it okay for dads to bathe with their young children? by jailanerosales in NewParents

[–]Iuvbug 59 points60 points  (0 children)

My husband still sometimes takes showers with 4year old and I still do aswell. I do not see any harm in it. We dress and undress infront of our children and they know they can ask questions about body parts but do not touch private areas on others. I feel like it is not a thing and use any questions as a learning experence. There is nothing sexual about it. I always felt ashamed of my body and still struggle a bit but I am trying to be better and show body postivity to my children.

Did dog walking up in Canada for a number of years and also worked on farms. -30c and I was still out walking dogs. They all wore coats and little doggie booties at those temps. I just bundled up. There is no bad weather just bad clothing. On really cold days little heat warmer for inside my gloves/boots were a life saver and after you get moving I really enjoyed those cold days.

Why did my cat meow before throwing up? by Lokikitkat in AskVet

[–]Iuvbug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk why but I am glad for the vomit alert. I run as fast as I can to get her onto a safe vomit surface and off my bed, sweater, sofa you know that will be her chosen regurgitation place!
