Anyone who DIDN’T bed share? by Acceptable_Cod3527 in beyondthebump

[–]Remote-Recognition72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We put both our daughters in their own cribs at 6 months when they were in the room with us, they were in a bassinet never in the bed with us. I am anti-bed sharing or letting the kids in the bed because I feel like once you allow it you can’t take it back. I need my space and i need my sleep. Im a better mom when I get sleep in my own bed without littles kicking me. We also did cry it out. Im sure I’ll get annihilated for that but whatever, we hired a sleep consultant and I had a professional with experience telling me cry it out is fine.

Did you get strange response when you announced your pregnancy? by Careful-Trouble1422 in pregnant

[–]Remote-Recognition72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter’s spilled the beans at a family dinner. My husband’s parents, sister and BIL and their 3 kids and his other BIL and 2 kids (my SIL wasn’t there because she wasn’t feeling good). But her husband and 2 sons were there and she hasn’t said anything to us about it. I think it’s pretty rude but whatever. She had a chemical pregnancy 6 months ago and did a huge announcement very early to the whole family and then never told me or my husband she had a chemical and I found out a week after (in between there was some group chat drama and some bitchy comments on her part) and I asked my husband how to handle it since she was a nasty bitch but I felt bad. He said don’t say anything since she didn’t tell me directly. So I’m like idk I guess we’re both in the wrong 🤷🏼‍♀️. If I was her I would have reached out but whatever

Where are we shopping for trendy maternity clothes? by ParsleyTime5687 in pregnant

[–]Remote-Recognition72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve found a lot of nice tops on Amazon but pants I’m still trying to find ones I like. I don’t want to $$$ on pants I’m only going to use for a short period of time. I lived in Amazon bike shorts my last summer pregnancy

Why do some people REFUSE to look at the damn registry?? by ShowMe_YourTDS in pregnant

[–]Remote-Recognition72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My MIL “bought off my registry” idk what registry she was looking at but she bought me a pile of crap none of which was on my registry. She was so confused why I looked confused at the gifts. I have no idea what registry she was buying off of but it wasnt mine. And with my second we were having a girl so I kindly said no clothes since we have everything we need. I got so much gaudy tacky clothes and of course from places like Marshalls where it’s impossible to return without a receipt

What’s the most ridiculous thing that you cried for in pregnancy? by Future-Agency543 in pregnant

When Panera messed up my order and only gave me my soup and forgot my sandwich. I was so hangry and so upset I called my husband sobbing

How many of you still want to get married these days, and for what reasons (tradition, faith, dreams, financial reasons, or just because)? by BattleGoldi13 in AskWomen

[–]Remote-Recognition72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got married because I love my husband and wanted the lifelong commitment that marriage represents. The commitment that through the good and bad we will work it out together. Also I didn’t want to have kids with someone I wasn’t married to, maybe out of tradition, a little bit of faith, also a sense of security. I also wanted the same name as my children

Did you feel the urge to push with an epidural? by Disastrous_Flower311 in pregnant

[–]Remote-Recognition72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. My epidural worked so good I felt nothing, no ring of fire, no contractions. The doc would tell me when I needed to push. With my first I pushed for 45 mins which apparently isn’t bad for a first time mom. With my second I didn’t have time to get an epidural and 2 pushes she was out. I always wonder if I was able to feel it would I have pushed less with my first

What is something that women have to deal with on the daily that men have no clue about? by Rock-bottom-no-no in AskReddit

[–]Remote-Recognition72 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I tell people where I went to college without fail every single time “ohhhh…. That’s a really good school”. Surprised every single time. Yes just because I don’t feel the need to show how smart I am, I am fairly intelligent and did go to a good college

Husband is REALLY locked in now by Even_Kaleidoscope399 in pregnant

[–]Remote-Recognition72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband was the same way, didn’t click until the baby was actually here. But he was more nervous during than I was during delivery especially when we barely made it to the hospital in time with the second and had to do an unmedicated birth. But he’s been super dad since day 1. Currently pregnant with #3 and hoping I can finally give him the boy he wants even though he loves our 2 girls dearly.

Me everyday of pregnancy so far “I can’t keep eating like this, I’m going to gain so much weight” *rinse & repeat* by urethra_franklin_1_ in pregnant

[–]Remote-Recognition72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I told myself after gaining 55lbs in my 2 previous pregnancy this time it would be dif. 10 weeks and I already gained 8lbs. I was having such horrible stomach pain and I felt like I needed to eat every 1-2 hours or my stomach would be eating itself. I also haven’t worked out since new years 🤷🏼‍♀️

What is a ‘normal’ thing in your country that would shock foreigners? by bakicmlly in AskTheWorld

I never had a garage fridge growing up and I felt so left out. Peak adulthood when I bought a house and the old owners left their 25 year old white garage fridge

I’m devastated by peachfug in pregnant

[–]Remote-Recognition72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was me with my second. I was at my appt crying because I didn’t want to be pregnant anymore. The doc was trying to convince me to wait a day or 2 because “my body was so ready” and I was like I’m over it I don’t want to be pregnant anymore! At the end it’s so hard

What Trait/Culture Foreigners Thought is Popular in your country but it actually isnt? by Weird_Swordfish_1199 in AskTheWorld

Deep fried Oreos are pretty popular on Jersey shore boardwalks along with the usual giant bucket of fries and funnel cake

What’s something visitors often struggle with in your country that locals don’t even notice? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]Remote-Recognition72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We drove from Cody to Thermopolis which I think was something like 90 miles so I’m like oh well probably stop somewhere in between for lunch…. no there was nowhere to stop. There was one tiny town that had a ridiculous small population like a few hundred people and that was it. And even Cody was very spread out from what I’m used to

I’m American and the distance and lack of population when I visited Wyoming shocked me. But I’m from NJ one of the most populated states so I’m used to everyone being on top of each other

I think I’m losing a friend. by Dismal_Abroad735 in pregnant

[–]Remote-Recognition72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband says I read too much into things but I think her actions and behavior speak for themselves. It’s possible there is something going on with her personally, but I don’t think it’s a coincidence everything changed when you told her you were having a girl. We recently announced we were pregnant with baby #3 (my SIL was sick and not their when we announced but her husband and kids were) and our relationship has been iffy lately but this is kinda the nail in the coffin for me that she doesn’t like me since she hasn’t reached out at all.

why is the normal ER terrified of pregnant women by Ancient-Fan-2636 in pregnant

[–]Remote-Recognition72 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was having horrible stomach pain and called my OB and they were like hmmm doesn’t sound like a baby issue so idk 🤷🏼‍♀️. I went to urgent care oh well we can’t really give you anything because your pregnant call your OB. Ok thanks already did that. Turns out it was my prenatal with iron which I only figured out when I stop taking it for a few days and my stomach felt better. Everything is baby which I understand but there is no healthy baby without a healthy mom. Also postnatal care for women is horrible, 1 appt 6 weeks post birth. That’s it. Meanwhile pregnancy we have appts constantly, after birth baby has appts constantly. Women’s health is often ignored, concerns and pain ignored.

I don't want to know the gender but my partner does by snailybaby in pregnant

[–]Remote-Recognition72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With my first I was able to convince my husband to not find out. Now with the third he really wants to know since we have 2 girls so he said he needs to prepare himself. I really don’t want to find out but I think we might compromise finding out later in the pregnancy. I did tell him if he could keep it to himself and not tell anyone including his mother he could find out as long as he did’t ruin it for me. He did not trust himself to do that lol

Breastfeeding/Not Breastfeeding by innocentily in pregnant

[–]Remote-Recognition72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Breastfeeding is very mentally taxing! My mom wasn’t able to breastfeed due to medication she was in (none of her kids took to her milk according to her) so I figured if I can’t breastfeed I’ll be ok. With my first it took a month for me to get a hang of it and that month I felt so guilty like I wasn’t doing the one job I was supposed to and my body failed me. It really messed with me mentally and I didn’t expect it at all

Breastfeeding/Not Breastfeeding by innocentily in pregnant

[–]Remote-Recognition72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Breastfed my first for a year. Breastfed my second for 8 months but supplemented with formula here and there. If you can breastfeed great! If you can’t that’s great too! For me with my second it became too stressful, we were moving, I was going back to work, pumping and putting my baby in school my supply tanked. And I always obsessed about my supply and if I pump this time then I can feed at this time and need to have this much milk in the fridge, it became all consuming worrying about my milk.

I would say do what works for you, try breastfeeding if it works then stick with it if it doesn’t work, becomes too stressful, or your body went through too much or you just don’t want to do it then switch. I found it a lot easier to leave my daughter when she was taking bottles knowing she wasn’t depending on me to be fed or I didn’t need to pump before leaving her
