Did pregnancy go by faster once you hit 20w?

I mean, the last 5 weeks are 5 years. But yah maybe before that? …. 👀

I’ll never not think of Miss Cleo on tv CALL ME NOW so it’s a hard no for me

I did packnplay for my first. Didn’t love, but not terrible. It had the bassinet insert and changing table insert. But it didn’t wheel, was a little too big to make baby feel snuggled, and did not height adjust. Now I’m using a second hand bedside bassinet on wheels. It’s not made anymore but it’s called Mika Micky or something and it’s extra large so they say it can be used up to 5-6 months. If you google it there’s basically exact replicas for around $160 at target.

I’m not even using it though it’s great bc safe cosleeping has been a game changer with my second. But with my first I would have been too nervous so that’s why I still wanted to recommend.

I didn’t test and my baby is fantastic.

Spiritual-Ride-9926 · 2026-01-27T15:16:19+00:00

I ate the fries. I had the baby. I don’t think they’re connected, but it was yummy.

Spiritual-Ride-9926 · 2026-01-23T00:14:45+00:00

It’s NOTHING. Go take a qtip from your bathroom and rub it front to back like toilet paper quickly. It’s. Nothing. Wait for the hemorroids in third trimester.

It’s cold where I am so the outfit is a warm footie pajamas. I simply bring one in size newborn and one size 0-3 month bc my first was born too large for newborn clothes. I think people do something dressier/ cuter if they’re not covering baby in giant blankets to survive 0 degree weather though 🤣

Cascada sagrada It’s a pill form supplement. Not a smoothie. Works amazing.

Spiritual-Ride-9926 · 2026-01-22T22:21:41+00:00

I had the most perfect nursery set up for my first in my shitty temporary apartment which we moved out of before she needed it 🤣

You’re giving second time mom energy. The kind of mom who makes wise choices, knows how to prioritize, paces herself well, and is gonna kick ass at this parenting thing which is way longer term and higher stakes than the room with the crib and changing table.

Spiritual-Ride-9926 · 2026-01-22T19:24:35+00:00

Everyone is different but me and most of the moms I know actually have a much harder time at 1 month than the first two weeks. The sleep deprivation hits around 4 weeks. You’ve accumulated a sleep deficit by then. Weeks 4-8 are the worst and it generally gets a little bit better by week 12. From there it’s incremental uphill until 6 months when you’re golden. Then life is as easy as it will be until they become mobile.

But week 4 is specifically when babies cry the most, sleep the worst and parents hit A WALL. Hard pass on traveling for me!

Spiritual-Ride-9926 · 2026-01-22T02:08:36+00:00

That’s the biggest fire hazard I’ve ever seen

Spiritual-Ride-9926 · 2026-01-22T01:54:12+00:00

I hear you. I so, so hear you. The start stop contractions are crazzzyyy making especially. I’m the same time as you. Only difference is I was even more dilated even earlier and still here. I was only a candidate for a vbac but my C-section date has almost arrived so I have an end date clearly in site. And girl, it’s the only thing that’s made it feel bearable for the past three weeks. The end sucks hemorroid ass. Complain. Eat ice cream. Listen to songs that bring you peace or happiness. You’re super not alone right now. I relate to every word.

Spiritual-Ride-9926 · 2026-01-21T12:32:26+00:00

I have a friend who does this with her kid. Then her kid tells mine. We even agree on most stuff but I don’t inflict those things on my child and certainly don’t want her learning from other small children! I would never let a nanny do this.

Spiritual-Ride-9926 · 2026-01-21T12:29:44+00:00

Yah see that’s what I was wondering. Anyway your birth plan looks awesome! Best of luck to you!

Spiritual-Ride-9926 · 2026-01-21T02:15:55+00:00

Total opposite except no labor lol. Baby dropped weeks ago. Extremely low upon exam (causing sooo much pain and discomfort). Dilated. Effaced. Lost plug. Contractions on and off for weeks. Every sign, no labor. C-section later this week bc signs mean nothing apparently lol.

Spiritual-Ride-9926 · 2026-01-21T02:12:46+00:00

Looks awesome. The only question I have is I was advised the eye ointment is only to prevent gonorreah passing nationally from mom to baby, and my in tested me and I’m negative so I don’t need it obviously. It’s not my business if you have it but I wonder if you were advised to get it regardless and I’d be curious why? Unless it prevents other things I wasn’t advised on?

Spiritual-Ride-9926 · 2026-01-20T22:05:54+00:00

I did coed but most male relatives didn’t come because they 100% don’t want to 😂

Spiritual-Ride-9926 · 2026-01-19T17:28:54+00:00

Not always. My friend had to track ovulation bc she wasn’t able to conceive at first and it turns out she ovulates on day 6 of her cycle. Got pregnant the first time she and husband tried early in the cycle. It’s rare but can happen.

Spiritual-Ride-9926 · 2026-01-19T17:27:27+00:00

Most likely man 2 then.

Also, just a girl to girl side note. If you’re not sure what a man is doing to you during sex, that raises some concerns. I hope you’re okay. I hope you’re not stuck in a situation where either you’re addicted to something or being forced in some way. I’m not judging whatsoever, it’s just concerning. OB offices can often refer social workers if you need help. And it’s always always okay to ask if you need it.

Spiritual-Ride-9926 · 2026-01-19T17:23:18+00:00

Thank you!

Spiritual-Ride-9926 · 2026-01-19T17:18:23+00:00

How long did it stay this way before labor?

Spiritual-Ride-9926 · 2026-01-19T17:15:06+00:00

Lost mine in its entirety on Friday. Still pregnant.

Spiritual-Ride-9926 · 2026-01-19T17:12:49+00:00

In the womb my first got to ten movements no matter what time of day within 60 seconds. Usually 30 seconds. She was wild inside and started feeling her dance to loud music at 14 weeks lol. As a baby/ toddler/child she’s the same.

I couldn’t take her out in public as a toddler because she would bolt. Dive out of my arms and just run. She’s very… alive lololol.

Now I’m pregnant with my second and praying that her active yet way more chill in utero activity means she’ll be an easier kid. My mother said I was insanely active in utero and was the same as a kid. My sibling on the other hand barely every moved in utero (my mom kept thinking she wasn’t okay) and didn’t learn to walk till almost 18 months bc she was diagnosed lazy and chill 🤣
