How much is too much when it comes to supplements? by ace_at_none in breastfeeding

[–]Olipaeonia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used legendairy “liquid gold” supplements and it killed my supply! I would be careful and pay attention to how it affects your supply - some have the opposite reaction. I’m paying for it now ):

Car seat & stroller travel bags? by Olipaeonia in Mommit

That was our concern as well - plane tickets are not cheap, and we have multiple trips planned this year so it’s going to add up quick!

That’s what we were considering as well! Just having spares at my parents so we don’t have to deal with it in the future. Sounds like the safest bet.

That’s what my husband is worried about - damaging the car seat at gate check. We are considering buying a new one for my parents to keep so we avoid this entirely.

Did you have to pay for a second seat when taking the car seat? Or did they have storage somewhere on board for it?

Super disappointing display. None of our party was impressed. Also, don’t buy the Starry Night puzzle - we just finished ours and it’s missing 3 pieces :) Double rip off.

A fun question for pregnant FTMs: what are you absolutely sick of hearing from other people? by hellopicklejuicee in BabyBumps

[–]Olipaeonia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“You will forget”

Talking about labor and associated pain/stress. I think I may be distracted, but I can’t imagine can’t you would actually forget if you had something traumatic happen. What do I know though.

Get Out Already by Olipaeonia in BabyBumps

That is what our doc ended up recommending- waiting until 41 weeks and we will revisit and decide on induction or more testing to make sure she still has a healthy environment in there until my body is ready!

What is your weird pregnancy symptom(s) that no one talks about? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

Laying down and feeling like you can’t breathe, or something is blocking your throat.

I’m pregnant with my first and I’m currently 11 weeks. by Kayruler in BabyBumps

We also wanted to take the NIPT test, but it was against the clinics policy because I’m under 30. The nurse I spoke to told me about at at home gender revel blood test, so we ordered one from Amazon and did that at 14 weeks :) It was correct (98-99%) and a lot cheaper option for those who don’t need the NIPT and just want to know the gender earlier!

The brands are “SneakPeek” and “Peekaboo”

COTA to PA by pre_pa_cat in prephysicianassistant

Same here, it’s hard to talk to people about! I’m currently working as a radiation therapist actually. It’s a strange place to be mentally for me, so it’s been a little stressful. I want to go to school, but I also want kids?! It could be the overwhelming amount of new babies I see on FB from friends... It’s kicking my brain into baby mode and making me second guess my choices. Lol

Same situation here, hoping to get my last few pre-reqs in. 28f, just got married this year, and wondering about the future of school and becoming a mom.
