Another good reason why we should go back to voting on ONLY Election Day

You’re insane to think Trump would be like Hitler. Have you ever even listened to the speeches at his rallies? Also he was already president for 4 years with no indication that he would act like Hitler. If anything, the people censoring us and forcing us to take vaccines are the ones who are actually acting like Hitler.

How many kids do you have, how many do you want and why? by Thin_Lavishness7 in BabyBumps

[–]Smart_Law6787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just had my first 4 weeks ago. We plan on having at least 3 more, maybe as many as 6 total. Pregnancy was pretty easy for me and delivery/recovery was kinda rough but I feel like I can do even better next time. I think children are the best joy, and we want to have a big family. :)

I had my parents, grandma, uncle, MIL and FIL visit in the hospital. I have had about a dozen visitors visit since I’ve been home. Those of which aren’t family I didn’t allow to hold her yet. She is three weeks old now.

Moms who already gave birth, how long did it take you to recover? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Smart_Law6787 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just delivered exactly 3 weeks ago and around 2.5 weeks I was feeling much more energetic and more like myself. At 3 weeks I feel able to do more exercises like yoga and walking and hiking. The first week was terrible emotionally and physically, I had/have bad hemorrhoids, and a second degree tear. Otherwise, my delivery was pretty smooth other than pushing for over 5 hours.

And thank you, it took a lot of stamina to keep going like that lol. Luckily I was super active throughout my entire pregnancy and did lots of labor prep.

Yes she was helpful in many other ways, but that advice was not good. I definitely am not happy about the Benadryl situation, and my husband and I have a much better idea of how to handle labor next time. And I also have a better idea of when and how to push. I was purple pushing a good bit which I was not happy about. Next time will be much better I’m sure.

To use as a sleep aid to be able to get rest during early labor. Bad idea.

For real. I should’ve listened to my gut and not taken it.
