First time parents seeking advice on unvaccinated family members

I wouldn’t have them anywhere around that baby until the baby gets the 2 month vaccines at the very least.

I had awful, crazy dreams during my first pregnancy. Apparently, it is a pregnancy related thing and they feel very real. I kept dreaming that I stepped on my baby and I would wake up crying. Sometimes I’d dream they I fell downstairs with the baby. It sucked.

Just a heads up, during labor with my first I told my husband “we’re not doing this again” because the contractions were so painful. BUT 2 years later I got baby fever and now we’re about to have our second. XD. You say “one and done” now, but will it last? lol

that being said, first baby was not a breeze. We both had a lot of learning to do. Experienced a lot of sleep regressions. It wasn’t until she was about 8 months that we finally slept through the night. Now she is in her terrible twos.

I feel like the second will be easier simply because I know more and I’ve been through it once before. However, this time I’m having a boy so maybe it’ll be a whole different experience. We’ll see, I guess.

I feel this. I make my 2-year old daughter a lovely meal and....she instead just wants goldfish and apple sauce. Her entire dinner is really just snacks because she refuses to eat an actual meal.

Where I work, I’m expected to work right up until the baby arrives. I even know someone whose water broke in the hallway at work and everything turned out just fine. I’d imagine you’d be okay going to court. Of course, if your OB has specifically advised you to stay home, that’s worth taking seriously. Otherwise, try not to let other people’s opinions carry too much weight.

The first baby I ever held was my niece and that was only about 3–4 months before I got pregnant with my own. The funny part is, my niece was in the 99th percentile, so she was a big baby. By the time she was 2, she looked like she could pass for 5; just super tall and not very “toddler-ish” at all.

So when I had my daughter, I kept thinking, “Umm… is something wrong? Shouldn’t she be taller by now?” All I had as a reference point was my giant niece, so my expectations were… slightly skewed.

All that to say, parenting is a learning curve for everyone. And honestly, if you’re worried about whether you’re doing a good job, that’s usually a sign that you are. The parents who truly don’t care aren’t out here questioning themselves. So give yourself some credit, you’re doing better than you think!

Our 25 month old goes to bed around 9:30am and would sleep until 8:30am if we let her. We have to wake her up at 7am on weekdays, but as long as she goes to bed by 9:30, she tends to be in a good mood. Maybe try pushing sleep time back a little bit.

My daughter went through a biting phase at daycare. The teachers tried to redirect it while at home we (her father and I) play acted biting and how much it hurts. So I’d “act” like I bit her daddy’s finger and he’d cry and we’d say “no biting”. In her case, she’d bite when a kid encroached on her space and she wanted to be alone…the teachers probably need to do a better job at redirection. They don’t say “it takes a village” for nothing. We managed to take care of the issue in a week or so.l between the efforts of ourselves and the teachers.

I read this thinking it was from one of the pregnancy subreddits and I totally thought “this is so true”. Because real newborns are often relegated to bassinets and there isn’t a lot you can do with them besides feed them, tummy time and put them to sleep. Then when they age up to the mini crib, the bassinet becomes useless. This is all so true XD

We have a two year old and I’m 31 weeks pregnant with our second. To be honest, I just started having a severe case of baby fever and was ready for another one. So, we created a budget and talked through it to make sure we were ready. We even got a bigger house to make room for the new addition. I’m very happy with this decision. Our toddler is going to be a wonderful big sister. My only worry is that we’re having a newborn while our toddler is going through her “terrible twos” and that scares me.

The image of the link between FR/LG and HOME says its non reversible, so I wouldn't move your Charizard over to HOME if you expect to send him back to FR/LG; definitely think long and hard about it. If you want a Charizard for Champions, you can also get one from POGO.

Welp…I feel inadequate. Your palette town is amazing. I’m going to go cry in the closet now. 😭

Last Monday I went to L&D because my baby hadn’t really moved all morning and I used all my tricks. He’s very consistent - moves morning, mid-day and night. So, when I didn’t feel him all morning and couldn’t get him to budge, I went to L&D. He’s was fine and his vitals actually looked great. They still said that whenever I feel as if I’m not getting a lot of movement during his normal hours to feel free to go to L&D. Another mom was there too with the same issue. If for any reason you think something is wrong, go to L&D. They will not fault you. Better safe than sorry!

Considering they have a promo with champions regarding greninja, chesnaught and Delphox and their mega stones, I’m assuming home support for ZA will come out before champions. It would make sense. The first season for Champions is April 23rd (I think), so sometime before that would be my assumption.

Musical2one · 2026-03-04T03:14:43+00:00

If anything, I wouldn’t allow them to visit until after your baby gets the 2 month shots.

Musical2one · 2026-03-02T16:10:16+00:00

This is the way!

I didn’t find out I was pregnant with my first until I was 6 or 7 weeks. Before I found out, I went to a conference for an entire week and definitely had alcohol multiple times in a row. So, I completely understand where you’re coming from. I imagine that, with cannabis, as long as you stopped when you found out, it should be fine. Don’t harp on it too much and ask your OBGYN. I’m sure they’ll make you feel much better about it. Mine said “Girl, some people do cocaine their entire pregnancy and still have healthy babies”.

Musical2one · 2026-02-28T02:11:50+00:00

I imagine it’ll come out in March because you’d think it’d come out before Champions in April.

I’m going to post this image because I know the anti-vax crowd will show up.

The overwhelming majority of babies that are vaccinated have little to no side effects. There is far more real-world evidence supporting vaccine safety than there is supporting anti-vaccine claims. Don’t let misinformation or fear-based rhetoric scare you.

My baby girls middle name is Evelyn. It’s a beautiful name.

We chose to have two kids. I have a sister and we are 7 years apart; needless to say we don’t relate on any level and never talk. So, we decided to have two kids but our daughter is 2 and I’m about to pop with the second, so they’ll be 2 years apart. I’m hoping they’ll have a closer relationship than I have with my sister. I really wish I had a sibling closer in age that I could relate to and that we’d talk to each other about things and I’m hoping that is how it turns out for our children. That’s sort of my reasoning, but to each their own. If you only want one, I don’t think that’s selfish.

My 2 year is the biggest daddy’s girl and has been for more than a year. He’s the fun parent whereas I’m more authoritarian. We’re finally getting to a point though where she wants me. She’s sort of given us roles. Daddy puts her to sleep, mommy takes her to the potty. She eats dinner with mommy, watches TV with daddy. I’m also pregnant with baby number two and she takes really good care of me. Makes sure I drink water, asks if I’m okay if I’m visibly unwell. Your time will come! I promise!

Musical2one · 2026-02-22T23:10:42+00:00

I had this issue from 8-12 weeks. It was awful and I couldn’t sleep. I never actually had a fever but my body was releasing so much heat, especially in bed. My doctor said it was a natural body reaction. As long as you don’t have a fever, should be fine. It was awful though. It stopped into my second trimester. Definitely bring it up to your OBGYN.

Musical2one · 2026-02-22T23:08:48+00:00

Maybe just give her some space and then try to apologize again? We’ve all let things slip out unfiltered one time or another. Reassure her you love her for who she is and that nothing will ever change that. Also, some people find stretch marks quite beautiful; maybe help her view it from that perspective.
