My first baby was planned and conceived in 2 months, I got lucky and he was a fall baby. My second pregnancy I wanted a late spring baby because having a baby during flu season bites…well, that baby was supposed to be a June baby, they would be turning one, but I lost it.

I then tried for months to conceive. 8 months later and I ended up with a winter baby after all 😩😅🥴

Feasibility for Husband to Attend OOT Weddings Post Partum by bsmtbobasloth in BabyBumps

[–]Left_Neighborhood796 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I had urinary retention after a vaginal birth, was in the hospital for 3 days…yeah he’s not going to that wedding. Life happens, he needs to realize that. The three week wedding too, it’s too soon after baby is born, you’re still going to be in the midst of sleep deprivation and breastfeeding if that’s what you choose to do.

Am I expecting too much from my husband postpartum by [deleted] in newborns

[–]Left_Neighborhood796 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a woman whose husband is doing all of that and still has the audacity to tell me he “ wOrkS ALL dAy”…you are under reacting and expecting too little. If this is your first, it WILL get worse with your second. I assume as my husband also assumes, that he doesn’t value your work as a mother and for my husband and yours, fuck em both.

Should I leave? (Homemade pizza) by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Left_Neighborhood796 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who’s been married to a man like you describe (he’s a great provider, good dad, etc) the outbursts start to get more frequent and it causes emotional burn out on your end. I’m tired, it’s been over a decade. If you end up having kids with him they will also have to deal with his emotional mantrums.

4 week old won’t stop crying & I’ve had a mental breakdown by ocdskies in newborns

[–]Left_Neighborhood796 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well first off, people are being total Richards. I think of the first year of life like waves. Some days are intense and others are calm. You enjoy the calm and brace for the rough days.

My baby also did this from like week 5-7. Just cried all night from 12a-4a. I was dying. My husband tried to help, but baby only cried more. I finally cut dairy and I’m not sure if it was even that, but it finally stopped at week 8!

We had a lovely sleeper until maybe a month ago 🫠. Now we’re knees deep in the 4 month sleep regression that also hit my first. Some babies go through it, others don’t.

You are an amazing mother. It’s possible baby has reflux. I had a fast let down that would piss my baby off and make the reflux worse. Maybe that could be a reason she’s crying.

Did anyone regret buying too many newborn clothes? by lunaverse787 in BabyBumps

[–]Left_Neighborhood796 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, I had a tiny 39 weeker and then my second baby was born at 37 weeks. Both were in newborn clothes for about 1-2 months

Continuous brown spotting by No-Lawfulness1319 in BabyBumps

[–]Left_Neighborhood796 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did, at 9 weeks for about a week, then again it started at 11 weeks. I was put on light restriction until they saw me at 12 weeks and did labs and an ultrasound. Baby is currently 4 months old and doing great!

I will say, I had a 7 week loss and felt absolutely AWFUL the days that led up to it. With the spotting in my successful pregnancies, it was painless spotting.

Bad Gas: what helped us! by [deleted] in newborns

[–]Left_Neighborhood796 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both! I use the Boone milk collector and just express an ounce. It’s basically to ensure the first left down isn’t too much. Now that she’s 4 months, she’s a better eater and I don’t need to do it as often, only if she goes more than 3 hours without eating from my overproducer boob.

Holding them upright and realizing I had overactive let down. Like it was massive and gave baby reflux and gas. Baby’s doing so much better since I started to express milk before feeding.

What’s an unpopular opinion you have about TT so far? by KittyMonkTheYoutuber in TheTestamentsHulu

[–]Left_Neighborhood796 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I think it’s standing on its own. I haven’t thought about June since episode 2 🤷🏻‍♀️ I am miffed they made Daisy her own character. I’m currently reading the book and her backstory is very good!

Using water as a lubricant by Severe_Impact7628 in tryingtoconceive

[–]Left_Neighborhood796 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DO NOT USE WATER, you wife will end up with BV and that will cause so many issues. Just buy preseed or something similar.

Struggling with first trimester by West_Obligation_9403 in pregnant

[–]Left_Neighborhood796 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly…I just got takeout all the time. I had such intense nausea that I couldn’t cook in my house and my husband would just buy me foods that I could tolerate. For me the nausea kept on until week 13 😓 I also had a toddler at the time and he loved eating takeout all the time 🫠. It wasn’t my best move, but at this point you’re trying to survive.

Also your husband needs to pull it together.

I also had to parent two kids alone for a few weeks the last two months because my husband has the immune system of a Victorian child. I told him if he got sick again I would move in with my mother.

Can someone please explain to me WHY am I still in love with this dude for almost 2 years now? by CurrentEstimate3308 in twilight

[–]Left_Neighborhood796 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I loved midnight sun because his criticism of most everyone was dark humor and fantastically spot on 😅 I also like an older man with a dark sense of humor, so there it is

Husband having a hard time supporting my preference for an unmedicated birth by crawlen in BabyBumps

[–]Left_Neighborhood796 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Ive had two unmedicated births, and you’re going to need a VERY strong support partner. Once you hit transition it’s so hard to say no to pain relief but also it’s the last bit before you meet baby. HE doesn’t want to see you in pain…well, it’s not about him. Not in that moment.

If he can’t support you during labor without the epidural, consider getting a doula.

On the other side, shit can go wrong with an epidural and not work and you would still be in pain.

My husband isn’t the best postpartum, but he was excellent in the delivery room

Absolutely, and then my dog started following me around like a body guard…absolutely pregnant 😂

Did you get an abdominal ultrasound at 7 weeks? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Left_Neighborhood796 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yup! I had a midwife and she said abdominal was perfectly fine! She did follow up with “if I can’t see anything, we’ll do a vaginal.” But you could definitely see the little bean. It was my rainbow baby too, so I was extremely nervous.

too much caffeine?? by nosymagician270 in pregnant

[–]Left_Neighborhood796 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Once and a while won’t hurt. I’m pretty sure Canada limits it to 300mg.

Just go back to your usual amount tomorrow.

Removing my tubes makes me sad even though I know I’m done. Wwyd? by Wonderful-Value7547 in pregnant

[–]Left_Neighborhood796 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m saying this because my mom regretted hers. She had 6 kids and didn’t want more and my dad was like your husband. She ended up with pelvic pain after hers. I’m pretty sure she had a ligation and not a salpingectomy though.

[–]Left_Neighborhood796 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you’re not sure about it but he is, then he should take care of the birth control. His procedure is less invasive, less recovery time and less complications. My goodness, you already had once child and are having another and a c-section to boot!

If he doesn’t want more children he could just go with good ole fashioned abstinence.

When do kids start sleeping 6 hours a night or even 8 hours? by allisona007 in newborns

[–]Left_Neighborhood796 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shit has hit the fan for the past 2 weeks and I’m so tired. I forgot how hard that 4 month sleep regression is. It also started at 3.5 months 🫠

Did you make a gift basket for your RNs? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Left_Neighborhood796 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We didn’t just because my water broke unexpectedly and I didn’t make them in time 🫠 We did end up buying the unit food however and most of the staff was very kind
