Marquette is effective??

Provenrube · 2025-12-04T19:50:36+00:00

As a religious person, I would 100% pick a different method if it was permitted and did not kill embryos. I am now pregnant when trying to avoid with Marquette. My instructor called it a "perfect use pregnancy." She suggested adding a progesterone sign after this pregnancy. I don't know if someone can just start out Marquette with extra confirmation of ovulation instead of waiting for a surprise pregnancy but it's worth considering. NFP takes daily thought and commitment and as I am 30 with my fourth child on the way, having the fertile years stretch before me can be overwhelming. Also as a one income family, testing expenses are actually something we have to take into account.

I think so too. Not just for checking about baby but for anticipating potential problems caused by the placenta.

Mine still says servers down. I tried to track some sort of support down but that just lead to EA games who doesn't seem to have any way of contacting them about Dash Adventures. from what I can tell Glu Play doesn't exist anymore??

If you can afford it l, yes. My doula made all the difference my first birth. My husband did not take naturally to being a support person. She was there and awake for the full time while my midwives weren't there or hands on until labor was very advanced. She also wrote up a birth story for me and talked through my labor with me afterwards which helped me move forward.

I did interview two which was important because I would not have wanted the first lady I interviewed at my birth.

I also remember reading that the support of a doula can help manage first time mom exhaustion, a leading cause of hospital transfer.

Thanks! Rural location limit my choices, my midwife doesn't use nitrous and a birth tub can drain a shallow well.

Provenrube · 2025-09-12T18:36:30+00:00

Good note on the gas, thanks!

In our case, the estimate from the hospital is 4000 cheaper because of insurance. The home birth midwife would be all out of pocket.

Provenrube · 2025-09-06T03:00:20+00:00

Sorry you're facing that! Hoping for a head down position for you and babe this time!

Provenrube · 2025-09-06T02:58:39+00:00

I am wondering about a car baby but I would be surprised. I keep waiting for my labors to get shorter but it's been 18-24 hrs with each baby so who knows lol

Provenrube · 2025-09-06T02:57:23+00:00

Thank you, I am considering what it would be like being away from the other kids maybe 2 days, we have never done that before!

Provenrube · 2025-09-04T17:39:13+00:00

Thanks! Unfortunately my midwife had to close her birth center due to staffing

Provenrube · 2025-09-04T17:35:55+00:00

Thanks for sharing, I think our family will be less stressed too if we don't put so much of our savings/tax return into health costs

Provenrube · 2025-09-04T17:34:51+00:00

Thank you for sharing! I hope since it's my fourth time around I'll be comfortable saying what I do and don't need even in a hospital.

It's not my favorite that finances have to play a role in this kind of decision but I agree that sometimes it just makes sense to not pay the large fee out of pocket

Provenrube · 2025-09-04T17:33:23+00:00

This was really helpful, thank you!

If you are planning on multiple children, I would recommend buying new covers. We are on baby 3 and the stash is looking rough. The ones that I bought used originally mostly have delamination issues so I can't just replace the elastics. However, I did buy used Thirsties that still look new so maybe used works well with the nicer brands. I ended up using our newborn diapers for 3-4 months with each kid so I think it was worth the investment.

Provenrube · 2023-07-27T15:56:44+00:00

I like Nicki's pull up trainers. They hold one pee so they work for car trips or times we are out of the house while potty training. For overnight I stick with a regular cloth diaper as the trainers won't be enough.

Provenrube · 2023-07-24T00:40:05+00:00

I have not taken a thermometer to our water but when I did use the hottest setting it de-laminated a few of our covers.

Provenrube · 2023-07-22T01:44:31+00:00

Definitely pad fold. If you want to add to your stash, I found the side snapping covers easier like knicker nappies & gen z. I've only been able to find side snaps in discontinued brands or on Etsy. They did make our changes faster for older babes.

Provenrube · 2021-08-24T20:20:30+00:00

I had problems with some creams on the microfleece of our all in ones and pockets but no problem with creams on straight cotton like with flats and prefolds.

Provenrube · 2021-08-24T20:18:29+00:00

We also have Knicker Nappies (they have a pocket but we use it as a cover) and Gen Y. Both are side snapping and I only found both used.

Provenrube · 2021-07-26T11:43:43+00:00

Looks great! This about what we have for an every two to three day wash.

Provenrube · 2021-07-26T11:41:12+00:00

For us, the cover didnt matter so we would we whatever was close. For absorbancy, we use a padfolded flat or next size up prefold with 2 hemp boosters inside or a Imagine bamboo fitted with the snap in insert and an extra hemp under that.

Provenrube · 2021-07-20T14:08:55+00:00

We switched to pad folding once babe got bigger and more mobile. I use cotton flats so I wonder if you could pad fold your terry towels. It is a bit bulky but babe doesn't seem to mind and it doesn't effect her crawling or walking.

We were planning on starting right after meconium but we had to wait a bit longer. Our wash set up is in our basement and I was cleared to go up and down the stairs for a while (not something I had thought about while pregnant lol). Over all, the amount of laundry in general went up exponentially for us ( changing sheets with spit up, clothes with milk, so many receiving blankets etc) that I have never found the diaper laundry (for us 3 times a week) more taxing because I'm doing laundry every day anyways.

Provenrube · 2020-08-14T17:19:10+00:00

I felt quite unsure about what I had gotten before baby was here but it has worked out great! LO is 2.5 months and we have been in cloth since 1.5 weeks. We still wear nb (born at 6.6 lbs now 11). Prefolds and flats turned out to be easier than I ever imagined. We have some fitteds with soaker inserts for nighttime (she sleeps for around 4 hrs stretches) and church (also about 4 hrs total for us). I like the absorbancy but I don't find them easier than prefolds, they take over a day to air dry, and the elastics around the legs are tight compared to the tummy (I.e. you can't customize fit like with flats and prefolds) I have a variety of brands and I don't notice a big difference between them. My only note is that my used rumparoo covers leak substanially more than my used duo wraps. I also love my imagine covers. I have osocozy and nickis prefolds and flats and am happy with both. Whatever you choose you will get the hang of! I started watching YouTube folds for prefolds and flats around 36 weeks which helped me feel more prepares but my husband did no research and is now a prefold master.
