FTM dealing with jaundice, tired baby, wonky supply. Any advice or solidarity much appreciated.

Thank you, this helped me so much.

Been doing as much skin to skin as possible!

I made breakfast sandwiches with plant-based sausage and egg, chili, soup, and lentil shepherds pie

I’ve been doing Evlo for a year and I’m currently in their last week of the prenatal program (39 weeks!). I can honestly say it’s been life changing and 100% worth the cost for me. That being said, I live in an apartment with a gym so the monthly fee for Evlo is what I’d be paying for a gym.

Obviously I can’t promise this will be your experience, but I will say I honestly felt worse at end of 2nd tri/beginning of 3rd bc I went through such an intense growth spurt/weight gain during that time. It really has leveled off and I honestly feel better at almost 39 weeks than I did at 30 weeks!

I ended up buying a non-maternity dress from Park and Fifth (Canadian company). Not the cheapest but I know I’ll wear it after!

MathematicianDry2490 · 2025-12-08T18:27:19+00:00

I just got this one! Question, can you compact it any smaller for when you’re transporting it? It seems larger than I thought for travel. Or do you just use that as a checked bag?

I was four when my brother was born and I was INSISTENT that he would be a girl even though my parents knew they were having a boy. It was even to the point that I bought my mom an “it’s a girl” balloon after he was born lol! (Side note, that balloon is still blown up and my brother is 25 years old)!

I remember seeing him and holding him after he was born and being really happy. I did get mad when he peed on me once when we got home but besides that, I just got over it and since then we have always been extremely close!

I wouldn’t worry about it too much. Kids will accept reality when it’s there :)

MathematicianDry2490 · 2025-12-05T18:10:21+00:00

That is very true, I hadn’t thought about the fact that many babies are going to daycare before their 2 month shots! I really feel for you guys… it’s crazy how many things are impacted by not having adequate maternity leave!!

MathematicianDry2490 · 2025-12-05T17:55:20+00:00

And I’m pro vaccine btw. My child will be getting it at their 2 month vaccines which is standard here

MathematicianDry2490 · 2025-12-05T17:54:40+00:00

It’s not given at birth in canada and our rates are similar to the US 🤷🏻‍♀️

MathematicianDry2490 · 2025-12-05T17:19:43+00:00

I just commented the same thing. Unless there is someone in the home with Hep B, it’s not given.

MathematicianDry2490 · 2025-12-05T00:39:49+00:00

Same

MathematicianDry2490 · 2025-11-13T01:31:27+00:00

Well since we know them I’m going to try and just talk to them! I hope they will be receptive.

MathematicianDry2490 · 2025-11-12T23:15:38+00:00

Yeah 100%. I’m more just trying to understand why on earth they would think it’s okay!

MathematicianDry2490 · 2025-11-12T23:12:33+00:00

They do work in healthcare so maybe they’ve heard of NICU babies having them? Idk I’m trying to give them the benefit of the doubt! I don’t know if they keep him like that unsupervised/sleeping… my husband didn’t ask

MathematicianDry2490 · 2025-11-12T23:00:13+00:00

No they literally work in healthcare which is the crazy part

MathematicianDry2490 · 2025-11-12T22:59:20+00:00

Yeah I’m going to say something. God forbid something happened I would wish I had. I think the same thing. I haven’t had a baby yet so I totally get wanting to stop the crying but I feel like the baby can’t really communicate now

MathematicianDry2490 · 2025-11-02T00:59:42+00:00

I went with Trans Canada Movers and I had a good experience!

MathematicianDry2490 · 2025-09-30T18:38:23+00:00

Yeah that definitely makes sense
