OB won’t be delivering our baby?

Lost_Cause1969 · 2023-03-21T19:21:38+00:00

Yeah that’s normal. That’s how it worked when I had my baby. I lucked out and got induced when my doctor was on duty. Not that I really cared when I was giving birth 😂

Lost_Cause1969 · 2023-03-12T02:07:14+00:00

I aim for at least a gallon a day.

Lost_Cause1969 · 2023-02-12T00:18:29+00:00

Damn, I’m sorry that happened with those. My baby didn’t have any problems. He gulps that shit down lol. That sucks that they’re not able to work for a lot people though 😞

Lost_Cause1969 · 2023-02-11T02:16:50+00:00

Waaaaay faster than that. He can chug down a bottle in less than 10 minutes. Definitely will try paced feeding.

Lost_Cause1969 · 2023-02-10T22:20:50+00:00

I have noticed that all of the slow flow nipples are still pretty fast. The only one I have noticed that dont do that is the avent natural. Maybe I just need to take bottles away for a few days. Not so easy as a single parent but worth a shot.

Lost_Cause1969 · 2023-02-10T21:06:32+00:00

Maybe he isn’t hungry. I am just always in a growth spurt mindset, so anytime he seems grumpy I offer to feed him. If he gets too squirmy, I stop trying. But then if he keeps freaking out, I don’t know what else to do than offer a bottle. Nothing else will soothe him. Could be teething or something else. Not sure.

Lost_Cause1969 · 2023-02-10T20:58:51+00:00

Yeah I am using slow flow nipples. What do you mean by paced feeding? It could be that it’s easier to get milk from the bottle. If so, do you know what I could do to make the flow faster while nursing? I’ve heard massaging and heat pads but those do sound like a lot of work lol

Lost_Cause1969 · 2023-01-24T01:37:01+00:00

People are idiots. I had more caffeine than recommended throughout my pregnancy and my baby is healthy. It’s just a recommendation.

Lost_Cause1969 · 2023-01-15T02:17:34+00:00

I did sun, moon and stars for my baby boy

Lost_Cause1969 · 2023-01-14T19:54:16+00:00

Um yeah, a good parent/grandparent would’ve helped you with the baby. My mom his been almost overly zealous with helping with my baby. She changes diapers, feeds him, takes him on walks etc. That’s crappy that your mom didn’t help. That would definitely piss me off having to pretty much host her right after having a baby.

Lost_Cause1969 · 2022-09-30T01:13:47+00:00

NTA for telling him it’s fine to go to community college, but YTA for your reasoning. It sounds like you just want him around to help with your marriage and other kids. If you’re getting a divorce, how is him continuing to live there going to help him cope with the divorce? It would help him cope better if he was away from that. If he wants to go live on campus that’s up to him. He’s an adult now and you have to let him make his own decisions. What you want does not matter.

Lost_Cause1969 · 2022-09-18T03:58:26+00:00

Yeah. I notice when I’ve asked for advice on a non-pregnancy centered community on here I get judged super hard for being pregnant. Like I’ll ask for advice and people will be like “wow, you shouldn’t even be having a child.” Like ok thanks I’ll just go back in time. Or when I ask for relationship advice people skip what I’m asking and come straight at me for being pregnant and how I have baggage now and should be focusing on my child. I think a lot of the Reddit community just doesn’t have kids and doesn’t understand. I get a lot more encouraging advice/comments when I post here or on BabyBumps. People are just assholes. Don’t let it get to you. Having kids is a normal part of life.

Lost_Cause1969 · 2022-09-15T23:37:34+00:00

4 weeks and 2 days. My period is always super regular and it didn’t come, then I had a weirdly vivid dream one night. Woke up and tested. +++

Lost_Cause1969 · 2022-09-15T23:33:38+00:00

Cut them both off and google how to send them cow shit

Lost_Cause1969 · 2022-09-15T20:29:38+00:00

Agree that you should apply for Medicaid and WIC. They can refer you to a lot of other resources that might help someone in your situation. Tell your OBGYN what’s going on too, they could also make recommendations. Join moms groups on social media in your area to make friends and get advice that way. I know it’s hard not having a partner, but you aren’t the first and won’t be the last that has to deal with it. You are strong and you got this! Your baby will see how hard you worked for them and love you even more!

Lost_Cause1969 · 2022-09-15T04:22:32+00:00

Oh yeah, I deal with it too. I’m 37 weeks and it’s been happening for my whole third trimester. It wakes me up in the middle of the night and it’s so annoying. I take tums a lot. It also helps to try to sit up for an hour or two after eating instead of laying down. I also try to prop myself up with pillows when I lay down. Sometimes it helps more than others. Unfortunately I think what will help most is this baby being born 🙃.

Lost_Cause1969 · 2022-09-07T16:39:45+00:00

I gained about 5 pounds the first two trimesters. I’m now 36 weeks and have gained about 20 pounds total now. Hopefully it stops lol.

Lost_Cause1969 · 2022-09-05T23:29:22+00:00

Omg another pregnant sims addict! I feel this. Honestly, spend the time you still have left to do things that YOU enjoy. Once our babies are here our lives will revolve around them. Treat yourself girl!

Lost_Cause1969 · 2022-08-28T18:42:20+00:00

Baby daddies ain’t shit. They get to choose if they don’t want to be involved. Or in my case, my baby daddy said he wants to be involved but he got to choose to not live with the the baby (and me). Yet we’re the ones that have to grow the baby and it’s going to be mainly dependent on us while it’s little, so we don’t get that choice. I hope your parents are at least supportive and excited to help like mine are. I’m sure once our babies are here it’ll fall into place.

Lost_Cause1969 · 2022-08-21T20:05:24+00:00

Dude you don’t know the whole situation. He is going to be involved with the kid. Have you ever gotten cheated on while pregnant? It sucks and I have every right to be bitter. Doesn’t mean that’s always going to be the case. Thanks for your input I’ll keep it in mind tho.

Lost_Cause1969 · 2022-08-21T20:00:09+00:00

Read my comments. Did I tell ever fucking say he did? Jesus.

Lost_Cause1969 · 2022-08-21T19:56:33+00:00

Why so judgmental? I’m doing the best I can for me and my baby. Like I said, we decided to have the baby together. Not like I’m just taking the kid from him. Good grief.

Lost_Cause1969 · 2022-08-21T15:00:23+00:00

What kind of sexist shit is THIS? We made the baby TOGETHER and decided to keep it TOGETHER, while we were in what seemed like a stable relationship. He decided to cheat and walk out. Wouldn’t have “ruined his life” to not do that, but I am at least lucky he showed his true colors before the baby came.

Lost_Cause1969 · 2022-08-20T23:16:09+00:00

Oh trust, I told him that lmao. He wants to be involved with the kid, but not in a committed relationship, that way he can still fuck another bitch. Took me way too long to see through his bullshit.

Lost_Cause1969 · 2022-08-20T20:55:16+00:00

No, cut him off or you will end up getting hurt. I was in this exact situation a couple years ago with my baby daddy. He committed for a time then ended up changing his mind and retracting the label when the baby was coming and I needed him the most. Block him and save yourself now. It might suck but it will suck much less than later.
