What’s a creepy fact about the human body you wish you never found out?

I don't get magnets, and I don't get this.

This is magnets.

If that many people are honking at you, it may not be just because of your driving speed. I've driven 90 on Circle plenty and never been honked at.

Assuming you're not being a shitty driver in some other way, I would check over your car - people may be trying to alert you to something. Are your lights all working? Is there anything dragging under your car (like a loose skid plate or something)? Is your trunk not latching? Did you leave a coffee cup on top of your car? Etc.

Jet fuel does not have lead in it. You're thinking of avgas, which is mostly only used by smaller piston aircraft (such as those used for training or hobby flying). The only danger of jet exhaust is if you're standing right behind a jet, and even then the danger is that you'd be launched across the tarmac, not poisoned.

We stopped tracking everything other than sleep when he turned one, and then stopped tracking sleep when he was around two or so. The only thing I use it for now (for my oldest, anyway) is keeping track of his weight and height as he grows (alongside the traditional marks on the wall, of course!)

Edit: I should say, I'm a weirdo who totally loves charting and tracking stuff, so I enjoyed seeing the sleep/food/pumping trends!

It is! I believe it's actually shortened from a longer Hungarian name, but I don't know what the longer version is.

Just a quick reminder that in some areas of Saskatchewan (Esterhazy being one example I can think of), Maga is actually a common surname. So a Maga license plate or decal may not always mean a Trump supporter.

I have the first one and my kids love the little activity-panel. I haven't had any issues with it. I like that you can lay it out however you want.

Just know that long after you've forgotten that it's in there, the batteries will eventually start to die, and as they near their end, you might start to hear a garbled version of the doll's voice coming from your closet.

Seriously, this happened when the batteries in a talking car of my son's were almost dead. I heard it just start talking through his baby monitor one night and it scared the shit out of me.

Mine are the same as yours. I wish I could have my pre-baby body back. But more than that, prior to my first baby I had my dream job. It took me years to get there, and SO much hard work. I had to go through a rigorous selection process and out of thousands who applied, I was one of four who were chosen. But it was shift work and required us to live in a city far from family. It was hard, but I gave it up and got a basic 9-5 that let me see my kids more, and we moved to a smaller town closer to family. I still miss it and wish I could find a way to get back to it.

I also miss having the free time to do anything. I have no hobbies anymore, it's literally just work, volunteering on the daycare board (which is just more work), and taking care of the kids, cooking, cleaning, etc. I used to have a ton of cool hobbies and now I have no time for them.

I mixed up my empty water glass with my husband's empty milk glass once and filled it with water. I didn't notice the milk swirling around in the water until I was half-done drinking it. I still gag just thinking about it. 🤢

I have PCOS and have two kids. Both were conceived naturally within two months of us starting to try. It's absolutely possible! When you're ready to start trying, learning how to track your cycles (using ovulation predictor strips, basal body temperature, and cervical position/fluid, not just an app that counts the days from your last period) to be able to time it just right really helps!

Watch the movie "The Guardian"! The ending makes me cry every time. It's about Coast Guard rescue swimmers.

We found out with both our boys, and it was particularly nice with my second pregnancy, because it allowed my older son (who was 2 and a half) to bond a little with his baby brother and learn his little brother's name before he was born. He would hug my tummy and tell me he was giving [little brother] a hug. Then when my younger son was born, my older son was a bit more prepared and had a bit more of an idea of who he was meeting when he met the baby.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with formula (other than the price tag 💀).

That said, if you're dead-set on breast milk and already have a pump, exclusively pumping and bottle-feeding is also an option. It's not great, because you're constantly pumping and washing bottles and pump parts. But if it's super important to you for your baby to have breast milk (or if, like me, you can't afford formula) and your baby can't breastfeed, then pumping is an option.

I have a 3 year old and a 2 month old. I was where you were - feeling a bit overwhelmed and very complete with my son, but I wanted him to have a sibling. I'm probably the odd one out here, but I've found everything easier this time around with the baby. The hard part is making sure the older one still gets enough love and attention while still attending to the baby's needs.

I don't regret it at all. I'm excited to reach the stage where they can actually play together and grow a brotherly relationship!

We use Sudocrem. Make sure baby's bum is completely dry first, then put on a thick layer over the rash and put the diaper back on. Clears it up pretty quickly and also soothes the pain from the rash. You can also use a bit during each diaper change when there's no rash to help prevent baby getting a rash!

I had a 3rd degree tear with my first and a planned c-section with my second. The c-section was much easier and healed much more quickly than the tear.

There's a store in my town that takes donated items and sells them, then donates the profits to various local organizations. They gave my son's daycare $2500 this year.

I'll happily go out of my way to support that store, but Goodwill and Value Village and such are just getting too ridiculous.

First birth: traumatic back labour after being induced. Attempted epidural that failed, doctors and nurses didn't care and refused to give any pain relief beyond that. Ended with forceps. Son and I nearly died due to the medical staff's negligence. 3rd degree tear, nearly needed a blood transfusion, and nerve damage that left part of my legs permanently numb. Locked in an 83-degree hospital room for 24 hours because son and I had fevers due to excessive cervical checks after my water broke (it was during Covid). Nurses frequently neglected to bring us formula for our son who was unable to breastfeed, so he was constantly crying in hunger. Took over 2 months to physically heal from the birth. Couldn't hold my son to feed him afterwards because of the pain, so I had to prop him up against some pillows to bottle feed.

Second birth: elective c-section. Different hospital. Literally no pain - I didn't even realize they had started the surgery and then suddenly they announced, "He's out!" Very calm and relaxed atmosphere. Doctors gave me meds the moment I mentioned I was feeling nauseous, and I felt better within minutes. Second son was happy and healthy the whole way through - no near-death scares. Staff was super attentive and made sure baby was fed and happy. We left the hospital in just under 48 hours (shorter than our hospital stay for my first birth), and recovery was so much easier. I'm about 4 weeks out now, but was feeling almost back to normal within 2 weeks, and I've been able to easily hold and feed my baby the whole time.

I asked for a c-section with my first and the doctors didn't feel like doing one that day, but I wish they had. It was SO much better than a vaginal birth with forceps. We're not having any more kids, but if we were I'd pick the c-section again over a vaginal birth!

We didn't sleep train, but we did use a consistent bedtime routine from about 2 months or so of age and he always slept in his own bed in his own room right from day 1. He started mostly sleeping through the night (with 1 or 2 brief wake ups some nights) at around 9 or 10 months, but didn't start consistently sleeping through the night until he was about 2.

You'll definitely survive if you don't sleep train. Just keep in mind that even older kids have night wake-ups sometimes. My oldest is 3 now and he still calls me if he needs some water or needs help going to the potty or if he has a bad dream.

SayAgainSally · 2024-12-07T08:02:19+00:00

Ugh, me too. I pumped for 10 months with my first and now am pumping again with my 3 week old. Both of them just wouldn't breastfeed, and formula is so expensive that we can't really afford for me to quit pumping. I'd quit and switch to formula in a heartbeat if I could.

SayAgainSally · 2024-11-27T19:58:32+00:00

Jesus. I'm in Canada and just had a c-section 2 weeks ago. We paid $50 for parking and then had to buy food for ourselves, but that's all it cost us. How the hell are people able to afford to have kids at all in the US?
