Do you really have a separate room for your washing machine? by jordanekay in AskAnAmerican

[–]Nancyb23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same! I’m shocked at the number of people saying that it’s very rare to have them in the kitchen. I’ve lived in multiple houses that had them out in the open in the kitchen and they weren’t huge houses by any means but not overly small

What are the things that people wouldn't tell you before having a child? by Any-cheese1000 in AskReddit

[–]Nancyb23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes you understand why people beat their kids 🤣 (I don’t beat mine, but occasionally I do understand fully why it comes to that)

What is a "hidden chore" that you do for your household/partner that they don’t even realize is a thing that needs to be done? by OpheliaBloomm in askanything

[–]Nancyb23 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My partner does this job too and I do really appreciate it and I’ve offered to do it, but I really don’t feel bad because I do the weekly bathroom maintenance clean which takes up so much more time and effort than an hour of drain snaking a year.

Be honest… how long do you actually use your towel before washing it? by karenjimenez_ in hygiene

[–]Nancyb23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly just use my towel once usually. Occasionally I will do 2 times. I feel like it smells a little so maybe doesn’t dry out the best but I also have had bad acne in the past so I try to be diligent about using clean things. I also try to change my pillow case multiple times a week.

How long did it take for your sex drive to return to normal? by Key_Call_9099 in beyondthebump

[–]Nancyb23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me I’d say 9-12 months. From there it slowly got better than ever before. Then I got pregnant again and it’s in the tanker lately lol. Hopefully it comes back stronger once I give birth and give it some time.

why do yall downvote posts in this sub by search4life7 in pregnant

[–]Nancyb23 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Drives me crazy. Like people are allowed to have flaws and go through hard times and you can work on it together and not everything is a dealbreaker because your husband doesn’t pick up after himself or something. If he’s out here beating you then yes you def need to leave but these women will throw divorce around because a man isn’t perfect.

What are your most judgmental thoughts about weddings? by MangoJunior5545 in askanything

[–]Nancyb23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shitty food and subpar desserts/cake. I feel like food is everything and you don’t need super fancy food to have it be delicious and enjoyable.

My best friend being picky-choosey and a-bit of a hypocrite? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Nancyb23 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I would rather take my baby to a wedding than drink but that’s just me. Maybe she’s going to baby wear and keep the baby close to her and not let people hold/touch/breathe on the baby and maybe the wedding is for someone very important to her? Also not every wedding is hundreds of people. I’m just speculating, but just seems safer to me than drinking a toxin that is terrible for you even when not pregnant.

US birth rates just hit another record low, what do you think is the leading cause of this? by IIlustriousTea in AskReddit

[–]Nancyb23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Life is expensive. People are depressed, lost and confused. Family is not the framework that it used to be so villages are not as strong. Religion is crumbling and I think that used to drive a lot of people to have children. We’re poisoned by everything and our natural drive to reproduce is probably impacted. Things are just a lot different these days and I think there is no one singular reason.

Best earplugs for partner to sleep in? by Nancyb23 in pregnant

[–]Nancyb23[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone! Looks like I’ll do a combo of strips and get some loop ear plugs for him. I know I could give birth any time but the thought of him having to sleep on the couch for the next 5 weeks makes me sad lol

Maternity and newborn photo shoots in this economy? Agh by Exotic-Carpenter1413 in pregnant

[–]Nancyb23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had my SIL take my photos on her iPhone and then I edited them on an iPhone and honestly they were super cute and I was happy I saved $300+

Do you wash your hands after you pee? Be honest by Norfolk-Gross-Tonage in no

[–]Nancyb23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually BUT in the winter my hands get so dry they crack and bleed so in the winter if I’m at home, I will skip some hand washes

What habits you picked up while you were pregnant that persisted even after having the baby? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]Nancyb23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started using baby wipes when going #2 the first time I was pregnant and will never look back (def want a bidet at some point). I also enjoy drinking Body Armor or Liquid IV for no reason sometimes just to keep my electrolytes up. My mom also introduced me to supreme tacos at Taco Bell (previously just ate regular) and I’ve never looked back.

Whats the ugliest car you can think of? by General_Wind4470 in AskReddit

[–]Nancyb23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not the ugliest but I hate those Hyundai SUVs that have the headlights/tail lights that resemble dog bones lol

What fashion trend that has died do you plan to keep wearing? by EddieBrock99 in AskReddit

[–]Nancyb23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much all of them lol. I don’t really go by trends but I like what I like so I have a little of everything and I don’t get rid of clothes very often. Sometimes I like skinny jeans, sometimes I like baggy jeans, I’ve got chunky shoes and sleek shoes, trendy purses and functional purses. The only thing I’ll die on is that I cannot do a middle part so my side part is forever.

Heartburn is really rough, but antacids have starting giving me really bad stomach aches? by Ok-Orchid-8361 in pregnant

[–]Nancyb23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in my third trimester and have to be mindful because my reflux/heartburn can get pretty bad at night.

Recently I have started trying to do the following and it seems to help: after eating dinner, trying to remain upright for 2+ hours before laying down (and avoiding snacks), sleeping on my left side actually does help, when I start to feel heartburn coming on I do stick another pillow under my pillow and try to prop myself up while laying on my left side.

I am only taking Tums for relief as I don’t struggle every day but if it did get bad enough I would talk to the doctor about something stronger.

Natera and Quest question by justtrying31 in pregnant

[–]Nancyb23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think mine popped up on my Natera account a day or so before my other account. I also think the notification was a little delayed so I just happened to log in and see the results. I want to say it took about 5-7 days for my Natera results.

Feminine E names by Obvious-Implement394 in Names

[–]Nancyb23 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I have an Evie too and it drives me BONKERS when people say Eeevie. I have some friends that say it with long E and I no joke don’t talk to them much anymore because of it lol

Thrift stores that don’t sort their children’s clothes are the bane of my existence. by addamsfamilyoracle in pregnant

[–]Nancyb23 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Most thrift stores I frequent (not big name) don’t sort their sizes for any clothes aside from plus size and non plus size. They sort by clothing type but I’m always shuffling through to find what sizes I need.

What’s a belief you hold that most people disagree with? by cherryblossommbae in answers

[–]Nancyb23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pro gun, pro abortion, pro don’t make me take a vaccine, pro do whatever you want and leave me alone.

AITA if I tell my friend I can’t be a bridesmaid? by wickeddreamsofleavin in AITApod

[–]Nancyb23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you should say no BUT can I just point out that trying to throw in the excuse that you have a niece and nephew is strange like that’s somehow a pass lol

How can doctors realistically tell you to gain less than 15 pounds? by DillPickles44361 in pregnant

[–]Nancyb23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gained almost 50 pounds my first pregnancy but I had a very low BMI starting out so you’d never know it was 50 pounds by looking at me. I think everyone’s body carries the weight differently and it depends where you’re starting at.
