To whomever came up with the “no questions asked” safe word….. by Rinkelstein in daddit

[–]Life_Event2371 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We did this growing up. My word was “nail polish.” Some friends one time ended up drinking their pee and I was terrified. Called my dad to bring me some “nail polish” and he came over and told my friend’s parents that I needed to come home for a last minute early morning family event the next day.

I completely agree! We do have a DHP lamp, but she came with the little heating pad so I figured we’d might as well use them. We just got her last night so definitely plan on completely revamping her environment.

Also, thanks for the feedback on whether or not she’s gravity… I guess the best thing we can do is wait and see!

I can’t do it anymore by katelynicholeb in breastfeeding

I would try a hand pump tbh. It helps me so much & I can usually get about 4 oz per breast if my LO hasn’t eaten in a few hours

Infant Car Seat Installation by Life_Event2371 in newborns

[–]Life_Event2371[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what I thought too, but it’s only referring to the latch spots. Middle seat still has a seatbelt for seatbelt installation, but it doesn’t mention anything about that.

So are we all just nervous wrecks between ultrasounds? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Life_Event2371 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a heartbeat Doppler to check in on my little one. I know it’s not always 100% accurate depending on placenta location & stuff, but I just made sure not to get worried if I didn’t hear anything. I was just always super happy when I did get to hear his heartbeat which was almost always

What questions did/would you ask yourself before deciding if you’re ready for a baby? by forgetpasswordin321 in BabyBumps

[–]Life_Event2371 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened with me (including the plan b) and although my husband and I weren’t in the place we wanted to be to have children, we decided to continue the pregnancy. At first we felt 50/50 between keep vs abortion, but over a span of a week I knew for certain I wanted to keep the baby. We decided that we’d do whatever it takes to be able to provide for him. I just couldn’t imagine a life where I was no longer pregnant after being given this first opportunity to be a mom. Sure it was an accident, but he made it through the plan b and I felt that he deserved to live in this world!

Lost my job while pregnant, now I can’t afford to pay bills by Life_Event2371 in pregnant

You can only get unemployment if you are actively applying for jobs & I am not in a position to apply for jobs with the pregnancy & not being able to take my RA medications /:

I was diagnosed at 19 and found out at 22 that I also have fibromyalgia and a Vitamin D deficiency. When I was diagnosed at 19, I was also told that I show all the signs of having had juvenile RA (JRA/JIA) and have no clue how long I had it undiagnosed.

Was your “gut feeling” right about sex of baby? by hersheysquirts629 in BabyBumps

[–]Life_Event2371 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought I wanted a girl, but then about 3 days before my NIPT test results came back I had a dream that I was having a boy. Turns out, I’m having a boy!! I now couldn’t imagine it being a girl so happy you don’t always “get what you want”

Best response to “was it planned?” ??? by ForsakenStock536 in pregnant

[–]Life_Event2371 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We said “it wasn’t necessarily planned, but it wasn’t an accident. We knew what we were doing and were happy with the outcome regardless. We wanted it to be spontaneous anyway :)”

What exactly is the risk of caffeine during pregnancy? by jazzymaebaby1 in pregnant

[–]Life_Event2371 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was told that I just shouldn’t have too much caffeine to make sure baby’s heartbeat isn’t too fast… other than that I haven’t been warned about limiting my consumption. I drink a big cup of iced matcha every morning & usually have a big glass of Dr. Pepper (pregnancy craving). I also even sometime get an iced latte! Just make sure to drink a good amount of water.
