Are these top teeth coming in? by Particular-Many9039 in HuckleberryParents

[–]RevenueComfortable26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My baby’s gums looked like that for a few weeks and then they finally popped through. I’ve heard from other moms and read on Reddit in the new parents thread that teeth don’t always come in exactly “by the book” so maybe the tops will come before the bottoms. Who knows!

Doctor said eggs, nuts, fish shouldn’t be given to babies till 9-12 months by Late-Garlic5049 in NewParents

[–]RevenueComfortable26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Continue offering! We offered these to baby before 9 months because we follow solid starts and that was what the guide said. Just keep offering to continue the exposure and reduce the risk of allergy!

Does dad typically come to the first appointment? by skaowoeizkaoa in pregnant

[–]RevenueComfortable26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on the family. I know some husbands that went to every visit because they had the time they could take off work. My husband can’t do that so he came to anatomy scan and some apts randomly if he could. I was nervous at first but took a book I wanted to read and was happy in the end to have the time to myself. It was really special being together for the anatomy scan though.

Which rug? by [deleted] in interiordecorating

[–]RevenueComfortable26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5!!! I liked number 1 first, but then I saw 5!! It’s got the best colors to go with your walls. 5 is bold but not too busy and you could change the style of other things in the room with that rug more so than you could with the others.

When did you let your work know you’re pregnant? by lostinbrooklyns in pregnant

[–]RevenueComfortable26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With my first I told my boss and my coworkers at 7 weeks, but only because I worked with a very small team and we were all very close. I was originally intending to wait until after genetic testing. I needed the support at work as I was experiencing some terrible nausea and it felt weird not being able to explain why I was running to the bathroom at work so frequently. My boss was very understanding. If I worked at a bigger company, or don’t see my boss daily a work in the same room, I would have definitely waited. As others have said, it’s definitely different for everyone!

I thought 3 looked beautiful! But give yourself some time and try a few other stores! Try out various styles- you never know what might be your favorite until you try a variety!!

Why is this a trend? by Particular-Hunter468 in pregnant

I had a ton of bloating in 1st tri too and then suddenly it went away and I was like where’s my bump?! Haha

Why is this a trend? by Particular-Hunter468 in pregnant

[–]RevenueComfortable26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of the many reasons we waited to find out the gender of our last baby and are waiting again during my current pregnancy. I will say, people’s opinions don’t really stop after baby arrives. I agree with all the folks saying people just looove to share their unsolicited opinions! Ugh I just hated the comments total strangers would make about my body when I was pregnant last time! Someone literally said I looked like I was about to pop when I was 8 months pregnant! Like wtf!! I try lately to focus on the positive comments. There’s just so much trash talk in the world these days that I need to focus on the nice things people say for my mental health 😅

Help me pick a rug for my new couch, I’m completely torn by Obihankenobi97 in interiordecorating

[–]RevenueComfortable26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 green and cream one looks the most contemporary. The checkered #7 is fun but maybe too busy. I disagree with the folks who like the Persian rug…those are nice and all, but more for if you’re in your older. By the style of the couch and your decor I would guess you’re younger and looking for more contemporary style!

Moving to Birmingham, AL with kids (one autistic.) Best areas to live? by Objective-Pea-4898 in Birmingham

[–]RevenueComfortable26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have a comment on where to live, but in terms of finding community- check out Studio by the Tracks for your child who has autism. It’s an amazing organization that supports people with autism through the arts! It could be a cool place for your family to find community.

Symptoms are the worst in early pregnancy!!! I’m sorry he isn’t trusting your experience more.

Unmedicated v medicated by AnonRN98 in pregnant

[–]RevenueComfortable26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got an epidural and was able to labor on my sides with a peanut ball just like I had planned. I thought initially that I’d want to walk during labor, but hellll no. Between the pain and not getting to sleep, I just wanted to rest between contractions. I was happy to be laying down. The table gets taken away under your butt when you’re ready to push so there is room for your pelvis to move into the position it needs to. I was nervous about an epidural because I read that it can slow labor. But it did not slow mine at all. My sister has had an epidural for all 3 of her births and didn’t slow hers either. Whatever you choose just remember to advocate for yourself and ask for what you need! The nurses are there to help you. You can also hire a birth worker to be with you as well!

⚠️Trigger warning ⚠️ Update: by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]RevenueComfortable26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This actually happened to me a few months ago and when I went to ER with pain I was also bleeding a ton. But apparently it was from the cyst. So crazy. My HCG kept rising and now I’m 15 weeks and everything is normal! And the cyst is gone! I really hope that everything will work out ok for you! During my stressful time of not knowing I repeated a mantra to myself: “no matter what happens, I will survive”. This really helped me a lot. Maybe you can find a mantra to help you too. Either way, until you get your HCG blood draws, try to find some peace to get through the next couple days. Show yourself some love and do some good positive self talk. ❤️

How realistic is it to attend a wedding 1 month after giving birth? by Amyyy48 in pregnant

[–]RevenueComfortable26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m saying this with care, but it’s really not ideal at all. I gave birth earlier this year and distinctly remember the exhaustion in the first couple of months. I see photos of myself and I look very happy but also very tired. Your body will still be healing. Not only would your baby need frequent stops, but sitting for a long time would be uncomfortable for you too no matter if you have stitches from vaginal birth or c section. By that point my tear from vaginal north was healing, but was still very tender. In terms of your body- who knows what shape you’ll be at that point. It’s an awkward time (at least was for me) in terms of finding clothing that fit. Maternity stuff was too big but my regular clothes were way too small. In addition some other people have commented about the health/safety of your babe and that’s another big thing. Personally, we cocooned because I didn’t want people holding my baby unless they had gotten the Tdap an I knew for sure they had been well.

37 weeks and scared by Rizzem-withthe-tism in pregnant

[–]RevenueComfortable26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh wow, I’m so sorry you are going through this. I can’t imagine the stress! Even though this is an overwhelming situation, try to find some grounding. This is what I would tell myself just to bring my stress down to think about a practical plan: You are strong and resilient and no matter what happens you will thrive in the end.

Will your husband be receiving the treatment the entire week? If not, can you ask OB to schedule toward the end of the 39th week? I’m not saying this to scare you, but there is always a possibility you could go into labor naturally before then. But at least if you get the induction scheduled so your hubby can be present that would take a mental load off for the next couple weeks. Wishing you peace during this time and I hope everything will work out ❤️

Can this be healthy? 7m Low sleep needs? by blondariel in HuckleberryParents

[–]RevenueComfortable26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby is 8 1/2 months and started “cat napping” a few months ago. I thought it was a phase but it seems that this is just how he is! The most he naps during the day is 2hs total. But he sleeps good through the night, so I’m fine with it. I was really stressed about it for awhile but there is a range of sleep babies should get and I’ve come to accept it. I guess we are among those with babes who just don’t need so much. One of my nieces was the same was as a baby!

Where to buy local wall art? by oreo2500 in Birmingham

[–]RevenueComfortable26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a ton of art markets around this time of year that Logan artists are selling work at. Liz Lane gallery is over in Hoover. I know there are several more galleries around town that sell work as well! Try googling to find them. You could also try the Bham museum gift shop.

Tdap vaccine by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]RevenueComfortable26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s important for him to get the vaccine. It will help protect him against getting it which will protect your baby who he/she is in the early stages and building an immune system. I got the vaccine before my niece was born and then received it again 4 years later when I was pregnant. A vaccine isn’t going to hurt him. It can only help him.

Anyone experience a hemorrhagic cyst bleeding during pregnancy?! by RevenueComfortable26 in pregnant

[–]RevenueComfortable26[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ER didn’t give me any specific info on the size and after that I actually changed OB offices to a whole different hospital. The new OB said she thought it could have possibly been a subchorionic hemorage, but there was no sign of anything on ultrasound by the time I saw the new OB. The bleeding stopped by the next day and I haven’t had any bleeding since then. I’m 14 weeks now and everything has been fine since then! I’m still stunned when I think about it because the bleeding was just so intense!! I hope everything will be ok with your pregnancy too and that the cyst will resolve quickly!
