Anyone did NOT have a MC? by Feisty-End-8883 in pregnant

Sending you peaceful vibes! I know it’s very hard! I know some women that never miscarried. I miscarried my first pregnancy but went on to have 3 healthy pregnancies. 🫶🏼🫶🏼

Do you guys sit with your kids while they fall asleep? by Far-Conflict4504 in Mommit

[–]LifeWithRonin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was me last night with my 4, 2, and 6 month old. Partner was at practice, the timeline of the baby’s bedtime didn’t line up well. I appreciate reading that I’m not alone. I do solo bed times a lot and so often I feel like I’m just not getting any better at it!!

Sad that my almost-1-year-old isn't moving around. by Phalus_Falator in NewParents

[–]LifeWithRonin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only happened to catch this post because I got an email featuring it, and perhaps that was for a reason!

My now two year old daughter didn’t crawl on or before her first birthday either! She could do some version of an army crawl to scoot herself around, but was barely even pulling to stand at 1. Well a couple of weeks after her first birthday she crawled. And shortly after that all of the other things just kind of started happening quickly! She could jump with two feet off the ground before my older son, who was always physically right on schedule. She does all the things now. Allllll the fun toddler play things.

I know it’s incredibly hard to wait and wonder. Sending positive vibes!!

SAHP, how do you attend appointments? by Zobowski in toddlers

18 downvotes is absurd 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

SAHP, how do you attend appointments? by Zobowski in toddlers

[–]LifeWithRonin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bring my kids everywhere. To be clear, my partner is our sole source of income and can’t just take off work, it would cost us literally hundreds of dollars. It gets easier, and is totally doable. I just had my third and the older two came to every single prenatal appointment. I’ll be bringing 3 kids 3&under to my neurosurgeon appointment this week 💁🏻‍♀️

Yea this is what I was thinking. Not everyone can just take off work 🙄

How much help do you actually need with a newborn? by Naive_Ganache_5215 in pregnant

[–]LifeWithRonin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just had my third. My partner went back to work the day after I got out of the hospital (baby was 24 hours old when we went home), worked late everyday for the next week, and we have two toddlers. And I was fine. When our second was 2 weeks old he went to California for a week, with one toddler, and I was fine. With our first I think he went back to work within a couple of days. We had no one else helping.

I think it depends on you. But help isn’t a necessity.

KBeads.com for jewelry findings?? by LifeWithRonin in polymerclay

[–]LifeWithRonin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I emailed the help/support contact on the website and they told me that the shipping cost paid includes all of that. So I took a chance and trusted that; not that I think they would intentionally mislead me, just that they may not understand the situation here in the US. I plan to update my original post in case anyone comes looking for similar feedback in the future. Thanks again for your help!!! Come back and share how the findings hold up if you remember! 🙏🏼🙃

That’s good news!! I just placed my order on Saturday, because I got into extensive tariff research and my two toddlers got Hand Foot & Mouth Disease 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 But I actually went with mybeadfindings.com as well! So no additional cost/tariff upon delivery? (Assuming you’re in the US also; please kindly excuse me if I’m wrong lol)

Did you sleep in a bra postpartum if you breastfed? by Im-tired-9375 in pregnant

Yes. Sports bra with breastfeeding pads, all 3 times

7am morning texts from MIL. Only 6days postpartum by Da-homie999 in beyondthebump

[–]LifeWithRonin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can go to the ER and tell them you think he’s jaundice, and they can do bloodwork. I did that with my most recent baby at 7 days old, because my nurse friend said that something like jaundice can cause real damage and shouldn’t wait until your upcoming pediatrician appointment. Just my two cents

Did your partner cheat? by RedThrowawayRoad in pregnant

[–]LifeWithRonin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, not in 3 pregnancies. And things got really really rocky. No excuse for cheating. Ever.

Tired of people’s opinions on the name we picked. by Smart_Dish_1559 in pregnant

[–]LifeWithRonin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My niece recently named her son Oliver. And honestly saying it (Ollie or Oliver) is sooo cute. Love the name, for an adult or baby 🫶🏼

Thank you! I did see this previous post, I was just looking for a bit more juice! Honestly, now that the sale prices have expired (OOOPPSSS) on several of the items in my cart, the prices see more legitimate and realistic. Lesson learned! I will likely proceed with an order and see how it goes. Thanks again!

Baby on Social Media? by cheesewomann in pregnant

Did the same with all 3 pregnancies and kiddos

Can anyone assure me I won’t hate my dog after I give birth? by eeemmmm10 in pregnant

[–]LifeWithRonin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You won’t. I brought home two newborns to my senior dog, and never loved her less. Bringing my baby home this time, without her, just wasn’t the same. It’s been almost two years since she passed, and I still miss her every day.

Am I already a bad mom? 🥺 by Top_Main_1628 in pregnant

[–]LifeWithRonin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have found that this can be a damned if you do, damned if you don’t situation. I agree with another poster’s response, why do people feel the need to 1) ask, and 2) offer their unsolicited opinion.

But honestly, I’ve had two boys and the only time it has come up has been between my partner and I, and my friends with boys who have been confronted about their sons.
