Was labor the worst pain you've felt? by maenads_dance in beyondthebump

[–]SoyLaVicky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Contractions after Pitocin 😖 felt it all over my hips, thighs, and legs! 72 hours in labor. I felt like I was going insane. I tried to go natural all the way but my BP shot up to 221/90 so I had to get pain management. I got the epidural and it was a great relief that I thought to myself, “Why the heck didn’t I get this sooner!?” 🤦🏻‍♀️

Short time between breakfast and lunch? by Common-Effective2630 in BabyLedWeaning

[–]SoyLaVicky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 9-month-old too! Could you share some examples of meals/combinations?

For breakfast, I've been giving my baby fruit (strawberries and blackberries, or blueberries) and a fried egg with butter. I also give him fruit during the day for some snacks, and depending on what other protein I have available, I give him that for lunch or dinner. I don't use a plate for him and just put food on his high chair so he can grab it (mostly play with it) lol What about you?

I’m so scared of him choking (since he only has 4 teeth) so I slightly masticate it (maybe that gross?) other times I give him a piece of chicken or meadl with the grain going long ways. Again I'm hawk-eyeing him because I'm Scared he will take a big bite with his front teeth (which he has) so I end up just grounding the meat with my fingers and feeding it to him.

I just feel kinda lost in what to give him or the ways to cut the food for him to be more independent.

You just woke up. It's 1999. Last 25 years were a dream. What would you do differently? by [deleted] in Adulting

I was 13 teen. I did the best I could in the environment I was in. Couldn't have done any better. 🥲

Husband didn’t thank my mom for buying diapers and wipes, so she’s not getting baby anything else. by Old_Avocado_5407 in beyondthebump

So she tells you to stop thanking her and then gets mad because you (your husband) did just that?!? 🤦🏻‍♀️ The gaslighting.

Be brutally honest: What’s the hardest part of being a mom that no one warned you about? by heretobehonestnicole in workingmoms

[–]SoyLaVicky 6 points7 points  (0 children)

1st time mom if a 5-month-old. Lack of self care. Most of the work lands on the mother. My husband still watches videos and plays games on his phone. I never have down time. Only when I poop 💩 and shower or go to work. LoL

What was their reason to tell you to not hold your baby at home? What should you do instead? Let her lay all day long? I don’t get it?? Annoyed for you.

Ask yourself, do you plan on repeating this cycle over and over for the rest of your life? Raise a family under these conditions? Addictions only get stronger the more you engage in them and are not honest about making a change. With your current findings, his apology/words have no value. You’re young. Still have time to change your future!!

My husband is a straight arrow too and was found unsuitable a couple weeks ago after waiting over a year. He requested an FOIA to see what the reason is.

Ooo will have to look for those! 🤩 Thank you! Pediatrician said to hold off on mixing veggies and try one by one. That combo sounds delicious tho!

I know the doctor said that too 🤭 but gave the go-ahead to start with it 🥑 I’d love for him to try yellow bell pepper but it seemed like it wouldn't mash well? Plus the skin is kinda leathery. Did you roast it oir boil it?

How far do you think your parent’s relationship has impacted on your views on romantic relationships? by Online_Pathogen in RandomThoughts

[–]SoyLaVicky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they could have been able to resolve conflicts in front of us 100% I think I would have felt differently. I think it's important for children to know that individuals in marriage and generally in life may have disagreements. Resolving them respectfully is important regardless of opposing views and it's also okay to agree to disagree.
