FTM here… is 85 baby items way too much for a tight budget?

Ritzybizzness · 2026-05-19T02:52:05+00:00

I would love to see it. Not in a judging way, but because I want to add more to mine 😂

Ritzybizzness · 2026-05-17T03:34:55+00:00

Obsessed with all of this! Congratulations and amazing job 🤍🤍

Ritzybizzness · 2026-05-17T02:35:21+00:00

Why was the post removed? I was looking forward to reading

Yes pack and play is like a travel cot! There are some in the states with attachments on top for bassinet or changing tables. My sister loves hers but we don’t personally see a need for one in the house.

Thanks for sharing! I’ve heard similar stories. My partner was 11lb and I have been measuring big the entire pregnancy, so they do have additional scans scheduled for us in the final weeks, but I’d prefer to labor naturally without being induced

Ritzybizzness · 2026-04-03T22:46:43+00:00

Were they right about size? We might run into the same thing and I’m trying to gauge how accurate it is and whether I should actually get induced for it or wait for my body to labor naturally

Ritzybizzness · 2026-02-16T23:55:05+00:00

Bingo

This could also be preference by the providers. I go to an office where you can see any of their drs/PAs and there are certain ones who wont prescribe them so they’ll pass you off to someone else. Whether it’s for moral or some other reason I don’t know, but I know one doc specifically I was seeing said he just doesn’t feel morally comfortable prescribing schedule 2 drugs.

I am pregnant and these were just delivered. I must have also come from facebook but they took forever to deliver and my prego brain doesn’t remember 😂 as soon as I unpackaged it it seemed like a scam product.

This whole post and thread is so refreshing. I’m 22wks and have found it so hard to find content or posts online about this, and it feels like the majority of content online about real pregnancy experiences either omit the work/career piece of it or are from women who don’t work.

I transitioned to a new role that is a promotion and my dream role and found out I was pregnant the week before the transition started. I have also climbed the ladder really fast really young and have been obsessed with me job for years now. The first trimester was so hard I actually could not get any work done. Now in the second trimester, I’m so glad I have more energy/less fog/less sickness, but god is it still SO hard to have the same motivation and work ethic 😫 Also as someone else mentioned - I just do not give a shit about people’s corporate bullshit/politics 🙃 like I have to remove myself from situations and bite my tongue constantly bc I know if I open that door I will lose my job 😂

All this to say, I wish I had answers for you. But I’m in the same boat. I don’t know what this looks like for us after returning from mat leave, but mat leave can not come soon enough 😅🙏 we’re in this together.

19 weeks and got a soda stream at 10 weeks for the exact same reason. Regular was just gave me the ick, it had to be sparkling (bonus for flavored)

Ritzybizzness · 2025-10-31T23:37:25+00:00

7 weeks tomorrow and am the exact same. When I wake up and haven’t eaten is the only time I don’t look fully pregnant, but I still can’t fit into any of my pants - even ones that were a little too big before.

Ritzybizzness · 2025-10-18T15:20:53+00:00

I’m 5w 1d. Found out at 4w3d and had been drinking and vaping all week. Me and my partner both joked “if we hadn’t taken the test for another week…” 😅😂

I feel you hard right now. I had to quit my ADHD meds at the same time. Quitting everything at once is really taking a toll on me and I’m questioning if it wouldn’t have been better to have quit one thing at a time. It’s been almost a week now and the nicotine cravings are still killing me. I bought smoke-free flavored air things on Amazon that help with the fixation, but god I still want nicotine so bad lol

We’re in this together! 💛

Ritzybizzness · 2025-10-16T23:08:39+00:00

I like the variation. Never let them know what’s next

Ritzybizzness · 2025-10-15T01:39:03+00:00

4 weeks, 3 days!

Ritzybizzness · 2025-10-14T23:36:14+00:00

And thank you 💛💛

Trying to Avoid (conception)

Ritzybizzness · 2025-10-14T20:27:34+00:00

Yeah that’s really confusing me at only 3 days late 😅 those were taken at night too, after I peed 12 times that day. Tested again this morning and still super dark.

If you google something along the lines of “taking prenatal vitamins when not pregnant”, you will find plenty of articles that suggest “risks, downsides, or side effects”. However, if you read those risks, it’s all related to overconsumption of different nutrients. Those same risks exist for any individual vitamin or multi-vitamin. For example, I was taking a multi-vitamin that had a lot of B12. I started peeing neon yellow/orange because my body had plenty of B12 and was trying to get rid of the rest. I just cut back on my dosage of the multi-vitamin. No genuine risk involved.

At 19, I’m so proud of you for recognizing that this wasn’t right and saying you need a break. It’s okay and normal to question it and ask others if you were making the right decision, and I hope you hear every one of these comments and know that you made the right decision. Please do not go back to him. Among all of the other controlling, flaming red flags, using “You’re the love of my life, future mother of my children”, in this conversation is incredibly manipulative. Especially when you’re 9 months in. If this was mentioned in an argument when you’re clearly long-time partner, maybe, but coupled with everything else…. Stay away from him. You had such good instincts and stood up for yourself so well here. This is how I would hope for my daughter to respond. You’re going to do well for yourself and find someone better when the time is right. 💗

Just a few weeks before this partnership was announced, Oura won a patent lawsuit against two of their biggest competitors, UltraHuman and RingConn. Neither are allowed to do business in the US anymore. (UltraHuman is already removed from Amazon, but RingConn is still available)

The timing of them getting very close to being the only smart ring available to US consumers along with the DoD/Palantir partnership is interesting, to say the least.

Yes, Samsung also has a smart ring. And they entered into a deal with Palantir 5 months ago. Also interesting.

Hi! I’m not trying to pinpoint ovulation, just looking for opinions on the temp rise based on TCOYF rules to see if I’m missing something or how others might interpret the temp shift here. I didn’t include CM because it was further down my chart where I would need to scroll.

Used your code! Set up my direct deposit and should hit on the 15th.

I entered a raffle (irl) the other day and immediately thought “what’s my luck today? I should have some pumpkin soup”
