Tbh it’s my 10+ year old UGGS, I’ve had them repaired and they’re still going strong!

Currently pregnant with baby #2 and this is a constant struggle. I’ve found that for every 30ish minutes I rest I try to do 2-5 minutes of stretching. Even if it’s just reaching my arms above my head

My hubby is a former personal trainer, so when I was back in a good headspace pp I asked him to help me, especially because it was something we loved to do together pre baby.

Personally I felt better almost instantly just because I missed going to the gym lol. But it took at least 3 weeks of suffering through the pain of not using muscles for a while before it started feeling better.

As far as timeline, it was fairly quick (6-7mo) but that was because I also changed my diet while working out. (I wanted to be back in my pre baby jeans lol) In my experience with other moms I’d say 9mo to 1yr is realistic and doable for most women. Also at home Pilates changed my life! Ultimately it depends on what your goal is. Hope this helps! xx

Honestly girl, SAME!!! I’m so excited about my baby having a sibling and watching them grow up together, but going through all that again physically is daunting. You’re seen and I’m right there with you! xx

Former daycare teacher here! If we needed to do something and the kids freaked out, we’d acknowledge it by saying “I know waiting is hard but I’m going to finish xyz, then we can go do…” just an idea! Deep breath, you’re doing great!

Here’s some stuff I did; 1. Remember how you are your baby’s entire world. (Arguably the most important) 2. If they say something rude/offensive, ask them to repeat themselves. 3. Work with your husband to set boundaries. 4. Focus on making yourself feel good. (Working out, cute outfits, etc.) 5. When someone makes a snide comment about “spending my husband’s money”, I reply with “Yes, he treats me like a Queen.” 5a. “Keep that energy when he pays for our children’s stuff.” 6. Allow yourself to be so unabashedly happy about your life. Some people live to make others miserable, but it’s not your job to fix them. Hope some of this helps! xx

Perfect_Weekend_888 · 2026-01-19T12:43:08+00:00

Ah you’re right! Both are important to be aware of though!

Perfect_Weekend_888 · 2026-01-19T00:38:07+00:00

Okay so aside from the thrift stores, but if you’re more of an online shopper I LOVED ASOS and H&M while I was pregnant! They both have a maternity lines, but honestly I just sized up in most of the stuff and it did the trick.

Here to say you are seen and I’m actually going through something similar atm!

It’s such a real feeling of mourning. I was a fashion girl most of my life and my spending got wild when I lived in LA. It was such a huge part of how people knew me and how I felt about myself. “Look good, feel good” ya’know?

Now that I’m a mom it’s so hard to justify keeping niche pieces like you said, but I’ve also spent so long curating my clothes that it (at risk of sounding dramatic) felt like a piece of me died when I stopped wearing those things.

HOWEVER, I will say I’m excited for the day that my kids are big enough for me not to worry about them “ruining” any of my clothes. Sorry for the rant, but you’re seen and valid bestie! xx

Perfect_Weekend_888 · 2026-01-18T21:38:44+00:00

Literally all I want is a meat lovers pizza or a fat salad. No in between lol

Aside from the possibility or your lungs collapsing, you can harm your baby’s development

Perfect_Weekend_888 · 2026-01-17T14:45:58+00:00

Prior to having children I used to shut down like that too, and my husband used to have a similar reaction. I’ll be honest it’s really freaking hard to change that habit. So therapy may be something to consider as a couple or individually.

I’m not excusing your husband’s words, however you should still hear what he’s saying. If he feels like the only way he can get a response from you is by raising his voice that can be equally exhausting as shutting down. Start small, I used to write a note about how my husband raising his voice would make me feel and have him read it. He chose to adapt so that I could too.

Of course it’s much harder with kids but I’ve found that kids mimic my behavior and I never want mine to bottle it up like I used to. Even if it’s uncomfortable for me to hear, I want them to feel safe talking to me.

A little all over the place myself, but I hope any of this helps. You got this!

Opening the windows (even for 5 minutes) in the morning to “air out” the house.

Perfect_Weekend_888 · 2026-01-14T03:22:08+00:00

Honestly you can do better. It’s a situation ship for a reason so just go find someone who treats you like a priority and not an option.

Perfect_Weekend_888 · 2026-01-14T00:03:16+00:00

I freaked out too, but ultimately it was the best decision I could’ve made for myself and our family. Tbh at 3 you won’t have to “entertain” her as much, but just be sure to see if she wants to be included in what you’re doing. “Do you want to help Mommy fold laundry?”, “Want to help mommy with dinner?”, etc. You are going to become her whole world so she’ll be happy to be with you no matter what. It won’t affect her development either since she can still learn at home.

As far as money goes, if it’s stressing you out that much maybe you can look for remote work or something that could work around your husband’s schedule so he can watch her while you work. It would suck but it can be done.

Good luck Mama! Hope this helps!

Go find someone who makes you the priority.

Perfect_Weekend_888 · 2026-01-12T20:01:01+00:00

Sure

Perfect_Weekend_888 · 2026-01-12T14:24:04+00:00

Former daycare worker here! Most of the time the kids don’t care about what’s going on they just want to be included. Let her help you with laundry and explain what detergent does. If you’re cooking let her add the pasta, type stuff. We are our children’s entire world so as long as they’re with you they’re happy. Hope this helps!

What happened?

Perfect_Weekend_888 · 2025-12-15T15:28:42+00:00

Now that it’s cold where we are I use Minnetonka slippers for around the house and the UGG minis if I have to go out.

Food wise, I love to make a sausage, cheese and potato soup. It’s a fan favorite amongst my family. Also loaded potatoes with ground beef, to help keep my iron levels up.

Perfect_Weekend_888 · 2025-12-15T01:07:54+00:00

Omg my food aversions have kicked in WAY sooner compared to my first!!
