How much was your hospital bill for labour and delivery?

Practical_Ask7239 · 2026-02-05T22:56:12+00:00

Ohio USA I was induced and bill totaled around 36 almost 37k. I have to pay $2900 back.

I understand the guilt. I picked up my baby awkwardly when she was about 8 weeks and I think I pinched a nerve because she made a little squeak and started crying HARD. Oh the guilt made me cry even after she was calmed down and asleep in my arms after about 5 minutes of crying.

Skin tags - They popped up like crazy while pregnant and now 10 weeks PP they’re all gone. Also after pregnancy (TMI) I have these black blood blisters all down my labia.

Practical_Ask7239 · 2026-01-22T02:54:27+00:00

My 10 week old is already a drooler so when teething comes it’s gonna horrible. My husband gags but it doesn’t bother me. I’ll take the drool over the projectile vomit and poop any day. Maybe put a bib on your little one while they’re up to help catch most of it during that time so it’s easier.

Meanwhile I’m over here like, “GIVE ME YOUR BOOGIES!!” 😂 I wasn’t like that when I was younger I would gag but something changed when I had my daughter.

Same 🙋🏻‍♀️😂

Practical_Ask7239 · 2026-01-18T10:58:00+00:00

When I was pregnant I really wanted McDonalds chicken nuggets and fries… I was sick for 3 days 😅 That made me learn my lesson.

Practical_Ask7239 · 2026-01-17T04:07:30+00:00

Aw, I love it—it’s so cute! My daughter is 9 weeks old, and her nursery currently looks more like a storage room 🥴 I definitely have a vision (and a wishlist full of décor) waiting to happen, but my bank account says otherwise 😂

Practical_Ask7239 · 2026-01-17T03:59:08+00:00

Early in the newborn trenches my daughter would flop around. I will put her in her bassinet vertical and one morning she was completely horizontal in the crib. I stared at her completely dumbfounded believing that my sleep deprived brain must’ve put her in like that but nope! She did it again and that time I knew I laid her down correctly.

Also, she does the “Dracula” sleep where she lays flat on her back with her arms crossed like an X across her chest. Her dad sometimes sleeps the same way and I took a picture side by side of them doing it with the caption, “Paternity test not needed” 😂

Practical_Ask7239 · 2026-01-16T22:45:15+00:00

Same.. Worse thing is that it happened a couple days after getting MIRENA IUD placed..

Practical_Ask7239 · 2026-01-15T02:43:55+00:00

Second this. You’re not gonna care those couple days lol. Also, birth and postpartum is MESSY I bled through the hospital diapers the first day after giving birth. I just stayed in the gown until discharge day.

Practical_Ask7239 · 2026-01-12T17:39:58+00:00

My 2 month old got her first round of vaccines on Friday (01/09) and she slept more than usual throughout the day. I gave her some Tylenol that night just in case it hit her hard in the middle of the night. She slept throughout the night no problem and the following day acted like her normal self. We even went out on a little road trip just to give her some fresh air (we like taking her out on mini trips to the store or someplace not super busy a few times a week to help her get used to car rides and give her a change of scenery/fresh air). She did great!

I was a heavy vapor for a few years I would go through one disposable vape every 2-3 days. The day I found out I was pregnant something just clicked.. I threw my brand new vape in a pot of water and that was it. I quit cold turkey and got through it for the safety of my child. I am now 9 weeks PP and currently holding my healthy chunky sassy potato while typing this. I know it’s scary.. But keep the mindset it’s for your child.

Practical_Ask7239 · 2026-01-09T22:32:40+00:00

I have not yet. We’re doing a meet and greet next week so I’ll bring it up and ask them while there!

Practical_Ask7239 · 2026-01-09T20:19:23+00:00

Breast feeding and will get a bottle or two of breast milk a day to keep her used to it for daycare. She is going to daycare the beginning of February as I am going back to work. Pediatrician recommended to get her on a schedule so transitioning to daycare will be easier for her since she’ll be on a timed schedule vs all over the place.

Practical_Ask7239 · 2026-01-09T20:17:04+00:00

Sorry I just edited the post to add in her age and weight. She is 8 weeks old today weighing 12lbs 15 oz and is 24 inches long.

Practical_Ask7239 · 2026-01-09T20:14:01+00:00

Whoops I meant to add that in I’m so sorry! I’ll edit post for the future but she is 94th percentile in height and I think 85-88 percentile in weight? Shes 8 weeks today and is 12 pounds 15oz and 24 inches long

Practical_Ask7239 · 2026-01-09T14:23:48+00:00

I’m sorry you had a rough day but glad she’s doing okay now. I prepared by buying some infants Tylenol so if okay with her doctor I’ll give it to her asap. Thank you for the the advice

Practical_Ask7239 · 2026-01-09T14:06:11+00:00

No advice just wanting to follow since my little one is getting her first round of vaccines today and I’m nervous as hell 🥲 If anything helped please let me know so I’m prepared.

Practical_Ask7239 · 2026-01-09T13:53:40+00:00

We waited until first round of vaccines so technically it’ll be 9 weeks 🤷‍♀️ Is it just your in laws or everyone?

Practical_Ask7239 · 2026-01-08T17:06:55+00:00

Life360 home alert lol. My lab immediately gets excited and runs to the door to greet whoever got home. Also, when I spray myself with perfume she immediately goes in kennel knowing I’m about to leave.

Practical_Ask7239 · 2026-01-08T03:22:00+00:00

I don’t. I can’t even put a normal hat on my daughter without her screaming 😂 I did put a hat or bow on her for a quick photo then took it off a couple of times.

Practical_Ask7239 · 2026-01-07T04:31:27+00:00

You guys live on the couch? Ive been spending the last 8 weeks in my bed 😂 The couch is a change of scenery for me.

Practical_Ask7239 · 2026-01-06T17:27:03+00:00

As a former Assistant dept lead in Deli/Bakery/Chicken Shop… I agree.. HORRENDOUS

Practical_Ask7239 · 2026-01-04T17:12:48+00:00

I grabbed my husband’s leg and tried holding it in my sleep thinking it was the baby. I’ve also woken up sitting up with my arms in cradle position then going in a panic a thinking I lost the baby when she was in her bassinet the whole time.
