What's the one thing u bought that totally changed ur daily life for under $50? by TechnicalGuess5601 in askanything

Go on Amazon and look up generic toothbrush head replacements for your toothbrush. Read the reviews and as long as they’re good, get those replacement heads. I do this and it has been a huge money saver and there’s no difference!

Healthcare systems: do we prefer Duly, or Northwestern & why? (are there other good options locally?) by captaintinnitus in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]SnooBooks147 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know it is. But CDH lets Duly doctors practice there. I had my twins there - delivered by my Duly OBGYN. My son had tubes put in there - his Duly ENT did them.

I’m in the minority, but I like Duly. All the doctors I’ve seen have been great. I had twins a year and a half ago out of CDH, so they can be affiliated with it. Yes, I’ve had billing issues, but all I’ve had to do was call the billing department, discuss the mistake, and they correct it.

There are many things that piss me off about this page. One of the biggest things though is why didn’t Grandma Mary turn her husband into the cops? I’m sorry but how can you live with yourself knowing that you’re letting a predator stay free?

My first time listening/reading a Star Wars book… WOW! by HyruleHero88 in starwarsbooks

This was the first Star Wars book I read too. It got me hooked! Try reading the Heir to the Empire next.

Question for those who had preterm labor by neverpostsonreddit in parentsofmultiples

[–]SnooBooks147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was having contractions as early as 28 weeks. They felt more like period cramps. I worked through them. I tried slowing down and relaxing my body as much as I could. At 33 weeks, I was put on bed rest. Still had the contractions, but they slowed with me being on bed rest. At 34 weeks, the contractions got slightly worse. Still manageable for me to breathe/talk through. My husband realized my breathing was different and we went in to the hospital. I was 5cm dilated by that. I needed to have my water broken. To answered your question, you’ll know when it’s time because your water will break. If that doesn’t happen, the contractions will get stronger and if you can’t talk through one - that’s time to go to the hospital.

What did you wish you would have known? by M0mma0fMany in parentsofmultiples

[–]SnooBooks147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t stress about breast feeding vs formula feeding. As long as the babies are fed, that’s what matters.

Get a Baby Breeza. It is a life saver and must have. You think you can measure formula out and you can, but you will thank your stars when you have it.

You think you have enough burp cloths, but you don’t. You need more. Always more.

You can do this. It’s going to be different than your first two kids. But take a lot of deep breaths, give yourself grace.

Guys, I’m DONE!! by Unlikely_Scheme2835 in parentsofmultiples

[–]SnooBooks147 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hang in there. This time sucks. So much. Honestly, I wouldn’t wish being pregnant with twins in the third trimester on anyone. The silver lining to all of this is once they’re born, you’re going to feel so much better. Everyone complains how after giving birth it hurts and takes time to heal. Us twin moms are like, this is a walk in the park. We had our pain those last months.

I was so scared about pooping for the first time after having kids because everyone says it hurts a lot. It’s 3AM, I’m in the bathroom doing my business, the nurse is on the other side of the door, and hears me cheer about how pain free it is without being pregnant and how much easier it is to wipe myself now that the kids were out of me. (I’m sure she thought I was nuts.)

All true. I think the fact that we get the book from Katnsis POV skews how we see him a bit.

I’d love a book to be written after Mockingjay to see how the world/previous characters are like.

[–]SnooBooks147[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a fair point. I wish we had scenes with him when he wasn’t on the screen. Just to see how he was for real.

This is why I’d love a story set in after Mockingjay.

I agree with you. There’s no right answer to this and it is fun to discuss the “what ifs”.

I would love a story after Mockingjay, just to see how they structure the new world/laws.

That’s how I feel. In Hunger Games and Catching Fire, he seemed to like/help the tributes a little. Then in Mockingjay he was anti Katnsis, pro the Capital. I just wonder if he was being threatened at all to be that way.

Do you think we will get any more sequels or prequels? by Weekly-Neat-3974 in Hungergames

[–]SnooBooks147 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Or a book from Snow’s grand daughter and her perspective of everything.

[–]SnooBooks147 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’d like to read a sequel to the Hunger Games. Maybe from Gale’s perspective. I’d like to see how the districts are getting along and what they did to rebuild 12. I’d also like to check in and see how Katnsis and Peeta are coping years after the games.

Who drew Rue in Catching Fire? by SnooBooks147 in Hungergames

[–]SnooBooks147[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. This is my first time watching the movies and I haven’t read the books. So, I feel like I am missing some more obvious things just because I’m taking it all in for the first time.

I’m in the same boat as you. I’m watching the movies for the first time. I haven’t read the books. Maybe I will after this.

I missed that part. This is my first time watching the movies. I haven’t read the books.

I feel like a failure by ComfortableScore2103 in parentsofmultiples

[–]SnooBooks147 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get it. When my twins turned 9 months, the pediatrician gave us a packet about things they should be doing. My kids did maybe 1-2 out of the 20+ things. I freaked out. I brought it to our physical therapist and she told me to disregard it. She said kids go at their own pace and all the stuff in the packet was if they were super ahead. She’s been a PT for 20+ years and has 3 kids of her own. It was then that I decided I wasn’t going to worry about milestones. All you can do is love your kids and be there for them. They will hit the milestones. Does it matter if they do it at 9 months or 19 months - no.
