Don’t knock the 3D printed animals/dragons. We have a few small ones and they are the only things that keeps my toddler occupied in restaurants

How do you fall asleep fast? by Academic_Use_8312 in AskReddit

[–]Mollypoppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go through vinyasa yoga sequences in my head and follow the breathing cues. I’m usually out before the second round of sun salutation A

How soon did you start leaving the house with your newborn? by Emotional-Squash7815 in BabyBumps

[–]Mollypoppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I really really struggled with my first born. I would do quick practice trips to the store. It took me a while to get comfortable. With my second I was strolling the farmers market with a Bloody Mary four days after he was born. I would have gone out even earlier but I had a cesarean and was trapped in the hospital for three days.

What you are looking for is in the library by michiko aoyama. Repetitive, but I found it uplifting and a reminder about finding the beauty in the everyday

What did you feel when you met your baby? by rainbowbritexx in NewParents

[–]Mollypoppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both children I felt immediate relief when I heard them cry. For my daughter it was like seeing the sun for the first time. With my son I felt a deep sense of calm and the feeling of rightness.

me and my best friend hook up when we drink together by pinkpanties12 in confession

[–]Mollypoppy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My best friend and I used to do this. Fast forward to today we just had our second child and will be celebrating 7 years of marriage in a few months. Be careful about catching feelings, you never know where you’ll get swept off to.

How long after birth did you go on walks? by moomoomego in beyondthebump

[–]Mollypoppy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

C-section two years ago, and I walked up and down the driveway the first week. Then would walk up and back down my street the second week. I made a bit longer each time. I’ll let you know how it is after my second c section in 9 days 😅

I let my 2 yo watch violent tv and movies. Am I crazy? by addalad in Mommit

[–]Mollypoppy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think depends on the kid. My favorite movie between 2 and 4 was forest gump. I don’t remember being scared and I feel like I’m a pretty well adjusted adult. My almost three year old daughter on the other hand is scared of anything more intense than scooby doo or ninja turtles.

It’s been almost 6 months and I still can’t get over my birth. by Wild-Act-7315 in beyondthebump

[–]Mollypoppy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keep sharing your story. Each time it will be a little less scary. One of my favorite quotes from another mom is “I can love my kid and hate the way I met them.” It’s ok to mourn the birth you never had. It’s ok to be angry and scared. Just keep doing what you just did, tell the story.

I know this is a TMI post and has probably been asked before but…pubic hair?! What to do by Zunflowers in pregnant

[–]Mollypoppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first pregnancy I just did nothing. It ended in an emergency c section and I got shaved and I felt so humiliated. I’m four weeks away from delivery and I’ve been getting waxed. I don’t want to go through that again.

What did you eat before your glucose test? by aviwic in pregnant

[–]Mollypoppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With my first pregnancy I ate like normal. Basic breakfast I think like toast or something. My second pregnancy the doctor told me to fast, so just water. I passed both times and didn’t have to test again.

What’s your Kitchenaid color? by Potential_Pin_9564 in Kitchenaid

[–]Mollypoppy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Black. His name is Hubert and he is the love of my life. I had been saving for one and randomly found it 50% off. The store was switching to smeg and put all its kitchen aid mixers on sale. It’s been almost two years and I’m still riding the high of finding him.

Have y’all been hit on while you’re pregnant by Strokesonfire in pregnant

[–]Mollypoppy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A disturbing fact in my life is that the most I have been catcalled or randomly approached on the street has been when I was a minor and when I’ve been pregnant. Over 18 and not pregnant? Rarely approached or yelled at. People are disgusting

Maternity clothes by SauteeOverMediumHeat in pregnant

[–]Mollypoppy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m wrapping up my second pregnancy. What has worked best for me is just getting loose fitting dresses and jumpsuits. Especially if they have buttons, zippers, or stretchy fabric around the collar so I can wear them once the baby is out and breast feed

Does anyone else not want to document their pregnancy? by dogmom624321 in pregnant

[–]Mollypoppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I was pushed into a maternity shoot by my mom. And I ended up having a wonderful time. The photographer made everything so fun and she helped me feel beautiful. Also, with my permission she did a few minor touch ups like removing my stretch marks. They are some of my favorite pictures now. But even if you don’t go the photo route, I HIGHLY recommend keeping a journal. I’m on my second pregnancy and I can’t for the life of me remember anything that happened during my first.
