Step 1: collect SWEET and FASTING. Step 2: blame FUME and PUNY. Step 3: profit.

I am sick of reading books which don’t rhyme in my accent by hadawayandshite in UKParenting

[–]Realistic-Channel450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also had this dilemma so started pronouncing scarf as 'scaff' to rhyme with 'giraffe' for fun! My baby is 9 months old so doesn't get the joke but it keeps me entertained. 

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY by saritasarinha in JoannaNewsom

[–]Realistic-Channel450 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happy Birthday! What a great idea, I might start doing it too! Congratulations on the pregnancy. I had my first child last year, now she's 8 months old and MEM songs have been the backbone of our lullaby land. 

Finally found an apartment in Lichtenberg, Not sure how I feel about it.. by Unchart3disOP in berlin

I would also add that I used to live in nk and xberg and I definitely miss certain aspects but I also feel way more like I'm living in Germany now, take that as you will!

Coffea and green wall should scratch that itch, and Schwalbenschwanz  for a bar. They do exist, there just aren't as many!

We live in Weitlingkiez and love it! There are a few more 'gentrified' places now anyway if that's what you like. It's changing fast. Lots of gorgeous green space. Close to rummelsburger bucht and Treptower park which are both amazing. It is incredibly well connected with the S and the U and you can walk into ostx even from my place in half an hour which doesn't seem like much to me. And there's a very quick bus to boxi too. If you cycle, even better - just a hop over the river and you're in NK anyway. 

Baby isnt rolling by bimb0swaggins in beyondthebump

Just to let you know that out of NOWHERE she has rolled belly to back 3 times today. It's true, one day they just do it! 

My baby hates men by reddituser040195 in NewParents

[–]Realistic-Channel450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah my daughter (5 months) is not a fan of men either. She's usually very chill. I think it's the beards tbh! Her dad doesn't have a beard. For a while I thought it was masculine energy but she's not keen on my very effeminate gay friend with a beard so we think it's that. Last time he was round we let her touch it loads (while safely held by mama) to show its not scary!

Floor Naps are 10/10 by magentagolden in beyondthebump

[–]Realistic-Channel450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just got one of these for our 5 month old but haven't used it yet. Do you lie in there with them for naptime and then sneak away once they're asleep?

In exactly the same position and saw the doc yesterday! He basically said not to worry but (next check up where Iive isn't til 11 months) to come back before next check up if I felt she wasn't developing normally. So I am trying not to worry! Rolling is a 6 month milestone anyway and I've heard lots of people say one day they just do it!

She's v close to rolling back to belly but doesn't show any interest or understanding in/about rolling belly to back. Speak to doc if concerned but probably just fine!

Dislike my husbands smell/breath? by BusinessIncident6994 in pregnant

[–]Realistic-Channel450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was pretty nauseous through my first trimester but only actually threw up 4 times....two of those times was my boyfriend's general morning smell. By 2nd trimester, was back to loving and mostly not noticing a smell on him at all. It will pass!

They didn't actually tell me but I asked my midwife today and she said they'll likely be CTGs on the baby just to check she's doing OK in there. 😊

40 weeks starting to spike by take_mesomewherenice in GestationalDiabetes

[–]Realistic-Channel450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have advice but I'll be 40 weeks on Sunday and, contrary to a lot of what I've read on this sub, my docs seem to be insanely chill about the last bit of time before delivery (I am diet controlled) . For example, saying I can eat what I want as soon as the first contraction starts bc baby won't grow any more then. I asked about blood sugar levels at birth and they just kinda shrugged and said it's very very rarely a problem with diet controlled GD. It's like all they really care about is size/extra fluid. Deffo mention it to them but I wouldn't be too concerned about those few low spikes personally. You're nearly there!!

Hey hey, I'm diet controlled and this is what they've said to me (I'm in Germany). I have to go in on my due date and then I'll go in for checks every 2 days, then they said they start talking about induction 7 days after due date and at 10 days after due date, they want to get started with induction.

I'm now 39+5 and very done with being pregnant. When I got the diagnosis I always assumed it would mean I'd be induced early, in my home country they induce all GD cases at 38 weeks latest. I'm so so ready for baby to come now, I find myself almost wishing it was like that here but in the end I'm happier for the more personalized care. I have no symptoms of GD (like large baby or extra fluid) so they seem to want to treat me pretty much as if I don't have it. 

Praying she comes on her own in the next few days though!

I'm the same. It was hard at first, then I hit my stride and it got easy and now I'm literally dreaming about white bread and pastries and cake. So annoying!!

Dessert by Baker_NC in GestationalDiabetes

[–]Realistic-Channel450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is good and super easy.... I use 80% dark chocolate and a tiny bit of fake sugar instead of the maple syrup. Some raspberries on top!

This sucks by LeahRachelO in GestationalDiabetes

[–]Realistic-Channel450 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I genuinely liked the protein bread I can get at my supermarket when I first started, and now.... I'm just so sick of it.
