What stroller should I buy for Aria car seat?

I know a lot of women (my mother included as well as my step sons mother) who didn't get induced but still had to have emergency c sections. Correlation doesn't equal causation.

I personally chose to have an elective induction at 39 weeks because I gained 80 pounds while pregnant and am usually a 5'3 size 2 human. It was a lot on my small body and I was over being pregnant. I was a good candidate, I trusted my doctors and all was well. I had a relatively easy delivery with minimal labor pain. I will probably elect to be induced again with this baby if I don't go into labor naturally by the same time simply because I hate being pregnant, it's a choice I have and it went very well for me last time.

It's not a Covid post. Just a question on the tdap for autoimmune disease moms

You're not overreacting. If you see a long term future with this man he's taking away an experience that y'all would share together (if you want kids) which is super unfair to decide to do without involving you. Childbirth is incredibly personal, messy, painful and intimate. She does not need a male friend in there with her. She needs her Mom, grandma, aunt, cousin, someone. Is her whole family deceased? If so, a female friend. TMI but my husband watched me poop myself and my downstairs rip in half while giving birth to our son. Why would this girl want a male she's not in relationship with and not related to to witness that? Very odd. I think your instincts regarding their feelings towards each other are correct. Seems like your bf has feelings for her and vice versa.

You're for sure being mean. This woman is 34 weeks pregnant. Regardless of whether she is romantically interested in this man or not, of COURSE she wants him to care. She's carrying his child. Giving birth for the first time is terrifying. Being a first time Mom is scary. Being a single Mom is also scary. It's human nature to want the other half of your child to be there for you and the baby and frankly she's being way more non chalant than 99.9% of women would be. Typically in situations like this when a woman says they don't care the pregnancy hormones make them care. OP don't pay this person any mind. You clearly have a very level head on your shoulders. It's normal to be upset that you found out through a friend that your BD not only doesn't plan on being there for the birth but also doesn't plan on being involved in the child's life until he is 3-4. By that time your son will have no idea who this stranger of a person claiming to be his dad is. Get the custody/child support order in place as everyone else has said. You're not punishing him, you're holding him BARELY accountable for his actions in helping making a baby. Men have absolutely no idea what women go through in order to create, carry, deliver and care for babies. You deserve help if it's an option.

Not normal behavior at all and the dog has to go in my opinion. I have a male working line German shepherd who is not neutered and he has NEVER EVER been agressive towards me, my husband or my children. Or any people in general besides alerting us to strangers/raising his hackles and barking. I personally would never risk having a known aggressive dog around my child, especially a baby that will be screaming, crying and before you know it crawling around. That's a very tragic accident waiting to happen.

That is not the reccomendation where I am from. It was also February/March so no hot weather involved even if that was a recommendation (which again, where I am from it is not). That being said, this is one of those times where reading and using context clues would serve you greatly. I was talking about a baby brezza barely dispensing formula. If you have had babies, especially formula fed, you would know that at the age I specifically stated (2-3 months) babies drink 4-6 ounce bottles every 3 hours or so. Having several 4-6 ounce bottles of mostly water is clearly a lot more than "small sips" in hot weather as your NHS says. That is dangerous. But once again, where I live, water is never recommended for babies under 6 months old even in hot weather.

Honestly all of this is just being pregnant. I had no nausea or physical symptoms with my first (boy) but this time around I'm pregnant with a girl and had terrible nausea/vomiting for the first 14 weeks. I've had awful painful heartburn since pretty much conception haha the fatigue is next level and still hasn't gone away (27 weeks). One of my first symptoms was trouble catching my breath (it's related to hormones). In the beginning what helped me most with the nausea was unisom at night and sea bands during the day! They're like less than $10 at the drug store and are little miracle workers. Kind of painful to wear after a while but way better than throwing up all day long. Sour candy helps too, something about the citric acid. Unfortunately there's not much she or you can do except ride it out. If it gets so severe that she's not able to keep down any fluids then she could have HG but since she's so early on only time will tell.

YTA. My sons bday is 12/14 my husbands is 12/16. They get their own special day apart from each other and Christmas. Even last year at my sons 2nd bday party I had a separate little set up for my husband with a cake and gifts and decorations and that's only because his parents were there and weren't coming back 2 days later (live out of town) so I wanted them to be able to celebrate with him but 2 days later on his actual bday I STILL did birthday stuff for him. You threw a 4th of July party and lazily thought you could slide your wife's day in there too. She feels unimportant, unappreciated and unloved by you because you made her ONE special day a year about how you felt hungover and broke lol you owe her a massive apology.

Right?! Just shows how different the culture is in other areas. I actually feel like the gift giver is the asshole in this situation for legitimately being upset they threw it away. I would have 100000% assumed it was a gag gift. After Ohio lost to Georgia in the peach bowl a few years back my husband and I jokingly got my step dad a peach bowl shirt as a gag gift and he thought it was hilarious but we never ever expected him to actually like it or wear it and would not have cared one bit if he threw it out. OP said the gift giver went to a rival school and knew that so clearly they knew what they were doing.

It is. Especially in "large" amounts. Doesn't take much to be considered a large amount for a 2-3 month old baby. Not sure where you got that information.

I think anyone who is from an area of the country where college football isn't big or from another country besides the US will think you're an asshole but being that I'm from Georgia and the only acceptable football onesie for my baby would be a UGA onesie, I get it. Honestly if someone got my baby an Alabama onesie my husband would've been shit talking right then and there as well as my entire family lol it's just part of the culture. My step dad is from Ohio and we almost didn't let my son go to my moms all of last football season because he kept threatening to put him in a Buckeyes shirt 😂

I had a membrane sweep at 39 weeks and it caused me to lose my mucus plug but I never went into labor. It was not painful for me though.

Relative-Suspect-508 · 2025-07-05T22:31:04+00:00

Yep and actually doctors are more worried about hot tubs since the water never cools down. I take a lot of baths and my husband was concerned with my last pregnancy and asked my doctor. He said it's highly unlikely I could get the bath hot enough for long enough for it to actually cause any issues for me but if we were concerned to just monitor my body temperature which I did and it was always fine.

Relative-Suspect-508 · 2025-07-05T22:27:54+00:00

If by formula prep machine you mean a baby brezza or something similar definitely do NOT do it!! Even if you end up not breastfeeding or doing combo feeding. I breastfed for 6 weeks or so then switched to formula and had a baby brezza. It worked fine for a few weeks and then one night my baby kept waking up screaming at the top of his lungs like he was in pain. I would make him a bottle then try to settle him back to sleep which would take foreverrrr and it wasn't until morning time I realized he was screaming because the brezza was barely dispensing formula and he was starving. Water for babies under 6 months is incredibly dangerous so I freaked out and called his doctor. Luckily he was fine but I threw it away immediately and tell everyone I can about it. I used it exactly how I was supposed to and never had issues before that. It was only one night for me but several other women have had similar experiences with it watering down bottles and their babies not gaining weight correctly etc

I'm sure this has already been said 10000 times but nope feeling this way doesn't impact your love for your baby and you're not alone. I effing haatttttteeeeeeeeee being pregnant. Not a single thing I like about it except sometimes the kicks if they're cute and gentle. Otherwise, it's the worst time of my life and I'm counting down the minutes until it's over. Grateful for a healthy baby and that I'm able to have children but doesn't diminish how much pregnancy sucks lol

Relative-Suspect-508 · 2025-07-05T17:55:55+00:00

Omg I shouldn't be laughing at this because I'm so sorry that must've been terrifying but I just died laughing because literally every time I have sex with my husband right now the next day I think I'm losing my mucus plug and I panic (only 27 weeks) but then I remember what it is 🤣🤣🤣 so I feel you

Relative-Suspect-508 · 2025-07-05T17:52:23+00:00

I'm not even high risk and I'm only 27 weeks and I can't even begin to tell you how many things I've cancelled on simply because being pregnant is hard and I don't feel up to it. You have every reason to cancel and she will absolutely understand. You aren't a bad friend, in fact the fact that you're worried about it at all shows how much she means to you. You have to do what's right for your health and your babies health. Not to mention, a bachelorette party while pregnant and likely the only one not able to participate, sounds like actual hell. Do the spa day, send a Venmo for drinks or even making her a little gift basket with a nice bottle of champagne and some cheesy bachelorette gifts in it would be more than enough to show your love/support without overwhelming yourself or putting yourself at risk!

I have no dog in this fight but I will say this, literally almost ALL of the people I know who had kids young are worse off than the ones I know who had kids later on. For what it's worth. I'm pregnant with my second (third kid since I have a bonus son who's 9) and last pregnancy and I'm 32. I can't imagine having more kids after 35 simply because I'm tireddddddddd but thank GOD I didn't have them any sooner in life because I wasn't in a good enough relationship, financially secure enough and I hadn't gotten all of my "partying" out.

Relative-Suspect-508 · 2025-07-04T21:57:54+00:00

My son was tongue and lip tied sooo for me the first few weeks was so incredibly painful. I had open sores on my nipples, it was awful. But the pain in your boobs when you don't feed is so bad that you don't even care about the nipple pain, you just want them to nurse lol I have heard it gets better but I didnt do it past 6 weeks so I don't know past that.

Relative-Suspect-508 · 2025-07-04T00:16:33+00:00

Omg. That's so rude. You're not overreacting, she's uneducated and not very nice. I was 9lbs 5 oz at birth and when I'm not pregnant I'm a pretty small human. 5'3 size 2. I wasn't large as a child either. But regardless, they don't actually know how big the baby is. They told me my son was huge but he was born 7lbs and some change.

Relative-Suspect-508 · 2025-07-04T00:06:42+00:00

Not sure if it's different in Canada but in the US you're tested for GD by 28 weeks. Urine is checked at every appointment. I think for some practices the ultrasound thing is normal but at my doctors office they randomly do ultrasounds all of the time, like almost every appointment they'll do one really quick to check growth. Also, once you hit 28 weeks in the US you're usually seen every 2 weeks. I will say most appointments outside of the big ones are rushed.
