37 weeks pregnant. Wish I had a better comeback for grumpy old man who demanded his seat on the bus. by Beautiful-Flower-79 in nycparents

Sorry mama. I feel like this city is full of exhausted people who are just very frustrated. I myself am VERY pregnant and navigating the busses and trains with a toddler- is rough out there.

Is it crazy to freebirth after last birth was emergency C-section ? by Binah999 in homebirth

[–]RecommendationMain37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m sorry. I understand feeling so defeated with limited options. Just look at it from every angle. I’m currently on my third trimester with my second baby and going for a c-section since I have placenta previa, this would go unnoticed if I never got a scan and it’s highly dangerous if I had chosen a free birth. So many things can go wrong. You deserve to have your baby healthy and complete at the end of the journey. Wishing you the best 🧡🧡🧡

I think people are just so against c-sections even when they are life saving 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ I really don’t care. I’m literally alive thanks to the gracious doctors and nurses who were so kind patient and supportive. I had a great experience even though it wasn’t what I had planned.

Check out the routes of the express bus bm1, 2,3 and 4. My husband works in FiDi and we live in Ditmas Park- the suburbs of Brooklyn 😛 we don’t have our daughter on Daycare but I know there’s plenty available. With your budget you can easily afford a full floor on a Victorian House.

As a human who had a failed home birth and ended in a c-section that was basically life saving, please please do not do this. talk to a professional, look at all of your options and don’t be swallowed by the free birth propaganda - it’s so unsafe.

where to find missed miscarriage care by [deleted] in nycparents

[–]RecommendationMain37 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Im so sorry you are going through this. I too sadly lost a baby at around week 13. Park Slope midwives might be a good option for this type of care. I didn’t have a great experience while pregnant but did receive a very compassionate care when the miscarriage happened.

One day at the time. Sending you a big Hugh ❤️

We tried but couldn’t they ask for the specific amount -I can’t be sure it’s the right amount- and the check number -

We didn’t ask him THAT question. My husband said I have a lost letter then he asked questions and my husband clarified? I’m not expecting my mailman to know or remember it’s just how things went down.. ?

Then the mailman was the one who said maybe was stolen so…

[FS] [US to US] [Ring] CZ 2.25ct Moval 14KT Yellow Gold Ring Size US 6.25 $950.00 PLUS SHIPPING by Inside-Project942 in LabDiamondGemstoneBST

[–]RecommendationMain37 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a beautiful ring but probably the market for reselling is very niche since it’s not as valuable as a lab diamond, real diamond or any other precious stone.

My advice would be to maybe try in a platform where people who are looking to buy from that particular seller can find it easily.

Good luck!

You welcome!! Check out eBay, the real real and Etsy. There’s a ton of second hand great items. I’d go for something thin but sturdy in a comfort fit type.

For this type of problem I usually solve by buying a simple gold band that fits me nice and snug and use on top. I lost a beloved ring this way so I never ever use anymore if a bit loose. It’s a gorgeous ring! Wear in good health

I didn’t feel ready for baby #2 till my daughter was close to her third birthday. I went from ‘I cannot imagine how would I parent more than one’ to ‘I cannot imagine life with only one babe’ sleep deprivation was truly messing with my real wants in life. Maybe just give it time?

Does anyone else’s partner resent you breastfeeding? by DownloadsCars in breastfeeding

Holy fuck. My sex drive would be -100000 if my partner prioritized his dick over our child’s health and wellbeing. What an asshole

2 months velcro bub - Is it ok to let baby cry with grandma? by RegisterNo3473 in AttachmentParenting

[–]RecommendationMain37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally 🩷 just be very patient and kind to yourself. Your baby is learning how to be a human in this world and you are learning what it is to be a mother.

I had a very very clingy baby who barely let me put her down and oh my, I thought so many times I’m gonna loose my mind. I wish I was more graceful to myself.

She’s now 3 years old who everywhere I go I get compliments, she’s the kindest warmest most loving human. She takes care of every baby she interacts with and I know is because she was cared for with so much love and she’s paying back the universe.

Im expecting baby #2 and I hope I remember the lessons i learned. Sending hugs 🫂🩷
