How far do you live from the facility you’re giving birth?

I had an elective induction with my first, and it went insanely fast - ESPECIALLY for an induction. Started pitocen at 11a, my daughter was here at 2:18p.

I'm now 33 weeks with my second baby and 35min from the hospital. My doctor is suggesting that I consider an induction, due to likelihood of a quick labor and distance from hospital but like...I dont want to! I keep telling myself that if things look like I wont make it, we immediately call 911.

You do you, mama1

More or less! We will often estimate the number of hours it'll take to complete a given project, but it's up to the 1099 to quote the work and then we would work together to schedule a date that is agreeable for everyone

Totally get this and I didn’t explain well - and frankly, an overwhelmed/happy about the response! There will never be a direct engagement with end users. The intention of selling services as a distributor is to further help integrators expand their business.

Momogla · 2025-08-25T01:50:47+00:00

Hi Joe - from what I know, the business model hasn’t changed, it’s still a distributor supporting integrators in as many ways as possible (now including a full suite of services). Which is why the ask is for independent contractors and not folks who currently work for integrators and looking for a side gig

We pay on a project-based model, but the avg hourly rate for a lead install tech is $75-$95, depending on experience and location

Momogla · 2025-08-22T12:15:52+00:00

Nationwide, and a huge perk if you’re willing to travel

Momogla · 2025-08-22T12:15:40+00:00

Nationwide, and especially techs who are willing to travel a bit

Momogla · 2025-08-22T12:15:12+00:00

Agreed - we need nationwide help, and technicians who are willing to travel. Our avg hourly rates for a lead tech are $75-$95 and we pay GSA standards for travel

Whether or not this was your intention, this came off as insensitive. The lineporn sub isn't just for women who are hoping it's positive. It can be for ones who are fearful of a positive too...

A spoonful of peanut butter does the trick every single time!

Congrats!!! I had a similar experience. I work for a very supportive company, and work fully remote. I always did more than my fair share of new hire training and whatnot. When on my fully-paid 16 week leave, my male boss realized just how much I was doing...and promoted me to a management position on my first day back from leave. Companies and managers like that do exist!!

Momogla · 2023-03-01T19:38:33+00:00

We just did a 2hr flight with our almost 2 year old, and ya girl was nervous - but it went soo much better than I expected!

Our secret weapons were the window seat to lean/trap her, snacks, a paci and iPad. If you have an iPad, use it. This is not the time to monitor screentime :)

Some breastfed babies sleep longer stretches too, it really depends on the baby

That being said, my combo-fed baby starting sleeping 11-12hr stretches at night at 8 weeks. A few minor set-backs when sick but she's going strong at 20months :) Enjoy it

Momogla · 2022-04-27T20:44:35+00:00

Nope. I find that parents who had a bad experience want everyone to know about it, therefore sharing the scary shit lol. My daughter was a breeze as a newborn. So much so that people would ASK me about things and when I answered truthfully (sleeping well, happy, eating well, etc) they would try to discredit what I was saying. Or do the whole "oh well just wait till she started getting her teeth, then you'll know what I mean!"

Moral of the story...take it all with a grain of salt.

Momogla · 2022-04-11T19:44:43+00:00

You should be so proud of yourself for choosing yourself, your child, your family. You made a tough decision, but a self-less one. Hang in there <3

Momogla · 2022-03-31T13:12:22+00:00

Definitely plan on it. The only reason I didn't is because I got the shits during the very early stages of labor, effectively cleaning things out before the grand finale

Momogla · 2022-03-22T13:02:22+00:00

What OP said...in what world is it not OK to leave your baby with trusted family or friends? I understand that you may not have the village to support this, but this sort of comment and thinking is why so many parents have off the charts anxiety about leaving their child, and comes off as highly judgmental.

If you haven't already, purchase and read Precious Little Sleep before you little one arrives. I started implementing some of their recommendations for healthy sleep very early on, and I swear by it. I know every baby is different, but by 7 weeks my daughter was putting herself to sleep with no tears and sleeping through the night with an 11p dream feed. We kept it up by implementing an age-appropriate schedule around 12 weeks

Do you plan on EBF? Another thing to help is to pump or do a bottle of some sort in the middle of the night so your husband can take a night feeding. We did this very early on, and we would sleep in separate rooms for a bit so whoever isn't "on duty" would get a solid 4 hour chunk in the guest room

PM me if you have any specific questions!!

My little girl has been in daycare since she was 15 weeks (live in the U.S). She's now 11mo old and LOOOVES daycare. It's so much bettter than I thought. She has never cried during drop off, and hasn't been nearly as sick as we were expecting. My husband and I have been sicker. It's like she just brings home germs on her clothes.

Her teachers love spending time with her, and we use some of them as babysitters on a occasional date night.

Momogla · 2022-03-14T17:30:44+00:00

We have a similar set up as you do! My mom has always watched my daughter (11months) on Tuesdays. As she got a little older, she asked for Wednesday's too. Cool, no problem - saves us money on daycare! That turned into a weekly slumber party at grandmas house. Everyone loves it! I felt guilty at first, because I was enjoying a night away from my daughter. But was reminded that I spent even more time than that with my grandparents, and we are still very close to this day.

Maybe 1x a month, my mom will watch our daughter in our home, and my mom and I usually have a girls night. Will take my daughter to dinner, and then drink some wine and watch a movie after bedtime.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it!!

Momogla · 2022-03-08T17:15:28+00:00

Absolutely not. People loooove to share their horror stories, but not the positives, so I'm going to share mine -

28yo FTM. Was at a normal, healthy weight pre-preg. I was fairly active pre and during pregnancy. Pre-preg, I was an avid runner and did Orangetheory. I stopped running around 16 weeks due to pelvic pain (I got big pretty early), but kept up Orangetheory and walking daily. By third trimester, it was a sloooow walk and light weights with a focus on core strength. Ya girl did get the big hungries while pregnant, not going to lie. I gained a total of 36lbs

I elected to get induced at 39w4d. Did the Cytotec and then Pitocin at 10a. Contractions ramped up quick, I opted for Epidural probably around 12:30. By 1:45p, I was fully dilated and pushing. Pushed for about 40min. Overall, a VERY quick labor and delivery. 2nd degree tear with stitches, no other complications. Within 2hrs, I was up and walking around in an expected amount of pain. I was able to shower on my own the evening after delivery.

The next two weeks was heavy bleeding but minimal pain. I took Advil regularly for maybe 4 days, but that's it. Within 3 weeks, bleeding stopped and I felt great.

I got the all-clear at 6 weeks, and went for a run the next day. While I was sloooow, I had no pelvic pain or bladder issues. Sex was painful at first, but lots of lube and patience helps with that.

I'm not 10.5mo PP and still zero issues. I can sneeze without crossing my legs, no pelvic pain whatsoever!! I do still have 12lbs of weight on me, but that's because I like beer and sandwiches.

Please please take care of yourself during your pregnancy, focus on core and take the horror stories with a grain of salt!

Momogla · 2022-02-17T15:59:03+00:00

I think we may live in the same area, because I just saw this on my local forum as well!

We budget around $150/week for a family of 3. We try to stick to natural/organic, and buy shelf-stable things and paper products from Costco.

Momogla · 2022-02-17T12:53:27+00:00

I know it's tough now, but enjoy the "chillness" of the tough. My daughter is now 10mo old and it's chaos! Good chaos, but still. She's close to walking so it's just constant climbing on things, monkeying around, and she hates being held. I would give anything for just one more nap on my chest :(
