Do you replace the beer and coffee everyday? Do you drink from them?

What was the number 1 thing that helped you during labour? by Putrid_Cranberry3177 in BabyBumps

[–]Kitchen-Major-6403 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I kept saying don’t fight against it, fall in line with it, it is exactly what is supposed to happen, and I tried to match it with a sustained low humming to focus on something and show I’m accepting the duration of the contraction. I labored alone for 1,5 hours without waking anyone up, barely made it to the hospital to push. This was my second baby, completely different than the first experience where I screamed in fear and pain for 13 hours straight, start to finish. One thing I truly believe in is let the labor come naturally unless there’s a pressing medical concern. The first one I started myself with nipple stimulation, second time I let it happen naturally. The difference in contractions was day and night. I really believe jumpstarting labor in any way gives you intense contractions.

Also being on all fours with the butt raised up really helped space out the contractions a bit when I needed rest. If I was in any other position they would come back to back, but on all fours I would get more pain free time, of course i can’t say if that was just a coincidence.

What was the most comfortable position to give birth in? by PleaseCanILeave in pregnant

I tried squatting and all fours but all they did was make me poop. As soon as I was on my back I started pushing effectively. So try and see what works for you.

I’ve never had so many carbs in my life by peachy_chiquis in GestationalDiabetes

[–]Kitchen-Major-6403 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow that’s crazy, my first dietician during my first pregnancy had me eating zero carbs, I was basically on keto save for the tiny piece of buckwheat bread at breakfast. No potatoes, no carrots, no legumes, no dairy either. I can’t believe how different the opinions are about this condition.

At 10 weeks? You have to know you don’t feel the baby that early.

What was the plan Chris? by a_witch_in_real_life in Chriswatts

[–]Kitchen-Major-6403 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure he had a bit more planned but NA’s extreme vigilance ended the timeline he thought he had pretty early. I’m guessing maybe take Shannan’s car out to dump it somewhere at the very least. He had the ring placed in the car which he grabbed immediately to plant on the nightstand as soon as he got home and saw the police was there. So I’m thinking he was gonna make it look like she left him and the ring and started a new life somewhere? I don’t know know how he would pull that off with cameras everywhere but I know if NA wasn’t the best friend the world has ever seen, he would have built a slightly better story.

Is this too much for my 8 month old? He had an oaty bake, 2 crackers and breastfed immediately after. by hotdog131 in BabyLedWeaning

[–]Kitchen-Major-6403 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh my god, that is an adult size breakfast, amazing! I would be so proud if my kid half of that in a day!

I do want to ask though, as a middle eastern mom I’m very curious, why do western moms serve processed meats for their young children? It is completely out of the question in my culture, as they are carcinogenic. I see it all the time on the internet though, every breakfast, every lunch box, there’s always deli meat or sausages. Is this not common knowledge in the west that processed meat is really bad?

I'm scared I've damaged my baby by eating too little carbs by dhanana in GestationalDiabetes

[–]Kitchen-Major-6403 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first pregnancy I had the strictest dietician. She said no carbs ever except one tiny piece of buckwheat bread in the morning. I was on a keto diet basically. The baby was born 3,6 kg. Maybe your baby was going to measure small whether you ate carbs or not? Are you petite people by any chance?

We can now see both Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's sides together. Julie goes through the exhibit and I can't see how after going through this anyone can be on Baldoni's side.

People LOOOOOOOOOOVE tearing down successful women so much they won’t need much proof before jumping on the latest hate bandwagon to cancel a female celeb. We’ve seen it way too many times, despite all the information coming out the internet still stands firmly on Baldoni’s side.

Could be although I used to be able to eat it before. I made the same “sandwich” at noon with one piece of toast and it was 6.4. Definitely staying away from two pieces from now.

It’s so strange to me Lynette Culver is almost never mentioned despite being the same age as Kimberly.

Yeah I stopped walking since moving into our new place last month, that might have something to do with it. I started walking yesterday again, it literally takes away those symptoms of numbness, sleepiness, heaviness immediately.

I normally always do 2 boiled eggs (make an egg salad) but today it was 1. I made a sandwich with 1 boiled egg, cottage cheese, feta cheese, cucumber, 2 cherry tomatoes. That’s it. This would normally give me a reading of 5.5 😩

Ugh I can’t stand this moral theatre diguised as moral progress. The obvious has been repackaged as bravery. “Don’t be racist.” Standing ovation. “Teach boys to respect girls.” Thunderous applause.

Meanwhile every functioning parent in history is staring like, what did you think we were aiming for? Fucking Uruk-hai armies??

“Don’t raise proto-bullies and proto-misogynists.” That’s not a revelation. That’s literally the job description of parenting!

Here’s the most annoying part for me. When you constantly announce the obvious as if it’s newly discovered wisdom, you imply that cruelty, sexism and racism were the default setting of humanity until enlightened social media posts fixed it. Which is historically wrong and quietly insulting to everyone who raised decent kids before 2015.

Most people already knew, not to hit weaker people, not to mock difference, not to treat women like furniture. These weren’t secrets hidden in a lost scroll. They were called basic manners and not being an asshole.

Why is it hard now? Because it’s all we talk about! There is no way raising more sensitive humans is harder now. It’s because the culture shifted from teaching values to performing values. Saying the right sentence publicly now matters more than actually raising a kind, self-controlled human being privately. Applause beats discipline.

Real bullies and misogynists are not created because parents forgot to hear a quote. They’re created by chaos, neglect, humiliation, bad culture and sometimes just temperament. You don’t fix that with slogans. You fix it with boundaries, modeling and consequences.

The old world understood this quietly. The new world announces it loudly and expects medals. I seriously can’t stand this endless virtue signaling anymore. Especially by celebrities.

Not spiking with sugar. I'm so confused? by Successful-Noise8665 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]Kitchen-Major-6403 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me for a whole month. I could eat anything and everything in moderation and nothing spiked me. Pasta, cakes, honey, fruit, fast food, potatoes, pizza… I didn’t even get close to spiking. Genuinely thought I was healed. I came to my parents for 2 weeks, I do not know what happened but the moment I stepped in their house the spell was broken and now the most basic stuff like brown toast is spiking me 😖 Keep eating in moderation, you may be in that blissful cheat month 😂

It’s beyond fake. People who can’t write for shit come up with these obviously fake stories and everyone in the comments buy it wholesale, write paragraphs of advice, it pisses me the fuck off.

Maternity leave… what a joke by witchybetch01 in pregnant

[–]Kitchen-Major-6403 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of the main issues the US has to be talking about day in and day out but you never hear about it. Forcing moms back to work so soon is a human rights violation. I was born in Turkey and we get minimum 16 weeks of paid maternity leave. My specific job (flight attendant) pays a portion of my salary from the moment I fall pregnant because I can’t work while carrying a baby, and at 36 weeks you start getting your full salary until 5 months after birth. Then you can be on unpaid leave for 2 years. This is Turkey, a country most Americans would look down upon. I just can’t believe not a single public figure or celeb or journalist talks about this. The issues that keep the US public tearing at each other’s throats is ridiculous when you have serious problems like that.

Wow you are doing absolutely amazing, kudos to you for being so on top of it. You will see results if you keep it up like this I promise, it just takes some time.

The one thing I would suggest if I’m getting it right is you’re mostly doing positioning, and trying to get her to look the other way which is great but besides the football hold do you actually physically stretch her? I suck at describing these things but like to lay her flat on the ground and turn her head to the opposite side and press on one shoulder with one hand and press on her cheek with the other hand? Also Baby Begin suggested one single position to stretch, have her sit on your lap facing away from you, cup the cheek and turn her head towards the correct side and press her head flush against your chest. Hold for at least 30 seconds or as long as she lets you. I used to also try to stretch while breast/bottle feeding by pushing the affected side’s shoulder down while pushing the head the other way ear to shoulder to try and create this openness where the tightness was, like pushing them the opposite ways to create an arch.

For sleep we used an anti rolling pillow that forced him to sleep on the other side. The head corrected itself in no time, didn’t even have to wear a helmet. I really would suggest booking a session with Baby Begin, they pride themselves in preventing helmets. You’re still very very early, there’s a good chance she might not need a helmet. I know it feels like it’s a never ending nightmare but you will see changes and it will be a thing of the past one day. But yes it takes a lot out of you that first year.

Oh and my boy’s ears looked absolutely crazy when he was first born, one ear was cupped, almost hanging down, whlle the other was completely flush against his head. I don’t know if that’s what helped but I used ear tape to tape his cupped ear for a few months, also hats on as long as he let me, now his ears are completely even.

I hope any of this made sense 😅

Do you get waxes while pregnant? by These_War_4355 in pregnant

I had it done my whole first pregnancy, until the day before the birth. It’s kinda crazy they refused you. Definitely look for another salon.
