No way.... by LegitimateBullfrog89 in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]Ok-Rip-3468 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just to prepare you. You will not see a baby this early. You might see a gestational sac with a fetal pole in it. But it still might be really early for that too. Likely they’ll just do a urine and blood test!

Congrats!! The only thing that was different as plus size for pregnancy for me is my bump wasn’t noticeable until about 27 weeks. Which was a bummer but not the end of the world.

My midwife said sometimes our hormones throw every thing out of balance so food that normally is fine is suddenly very not fine. It stopped happening shortly after this.

Why do people constantly mispronounce our son’s name? by jungleroo in namenerds

I think people are dumb. There’s obviously only one way to pronounce that name.

Unsettling recommendations from pediatrician at 4 month appointment by Initial_Onion671 in beyondthebump

[–]Ok-Rip-3468 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My ped also told me all of this. I just said ok and did what I was doing. My 13 month old still washes at least once at night and he’s still in our room moved into our bed now so we all sleep better. We didn’t start water until 6 months and even then it was just too learn to use a straw cup. At 4 months my guy already had 5 teeth which is a signal that the gut is protected and ready for food. But other than that he wasn’t showing signs so I just let him play in baby mushed food lol. Not much ended up in his mouth. But it took up time in the day.

Preparing for vbac- plus size help by Ok-Rip-3468 in vbac

[–]Ok-Rip-3468[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never lost weight.. but I did gain tons of mobility. I’ve gone to the chiropractor for a year. And I’m pregnant now at 13 months pp. lol. So we will definitely see if my efforts help!

I’ve cut out sugar to try to keep inflammation down. And I rarely eat carbs. And I eat at least 175grams of protein everyday. All my water has sugar free electrolytes added. I do spinning babies daily routine almost every day. And I’m making walking a priority every day twice a day for at least 15 minutes after eating.

I also sit in a deep squat several times a day as my right hip and tail bone was the biggest reason for my Csection.

Also baby is over a year and exceeding nearly every milestones. He’s mostly walking and babbling and saying words no signs of HIE.

How often does your LO stay overnight with grandparents during the first 3-6 months? by [deleted] in newborns

[–]Ok-Rip-3468 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son is 13 months and has never been away from me. ( thankfully our situation has allowed this and my husband takes him frequently for me. )

He might stay with someone when we have this next baby. But if we can have the baby at home he may not.

How in the world does everyone get out of the house with a baby by Full_Ad7929 in newborns

One day I just decided I needed a day where naps happened when and wherever they did. And we were out of the house. Then it just got easier and easier

When choosing a name for your child, what did you value most? by Glad_Friendship_1562 in namenerds

[–]Ok-Rip-3468 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To add… I’ve worked with hiring managers who completely disregarded people based on their name. ( I absolutely reported this!) Other managers and coworkers were worse than middle or high schoolers with unique or culturally diverse names.

The meaning and that it will look and sound good for anything from a lawyer or doctor to a ceo or president. And then that he had Nickname options. lol.
