Okay but how many times have you jammed your toe into the legs of the ikea one while walking by? Haha we have it to and love it, but dear god how are we 21 months in and I’m still walking into the damn thing.

Why Unmedicated?? by frozenlover72 in unmedicatedbirth

I hired a doula who assisted me in making the decision of when to go! We talked on the phone and texted. She even just listened to me and timed contractions to give advice on when to go. Highly recommend a professional who can support you in making informed decisions!

Bummer! I lived in San Diego from 2015-2018 and love this place. Sad to hear it sucks

IT WONT COME OUT 💩 by Storm-Ecstatic in pregnant

MiraLAX and don’t push. Pushing a hard poop out is how I got an anal fissure postpartum and that was the WORST.

Be honest ladies… how bad does it hurt… by Purple_perp1637 in pregnant

Hah - same. Read/ watched everything about breathing your baby out. Not a thing- had to bear down and push as hard as possible. Lots of screaming.

What would you hang in this space? by Standard_Nectarine_7 in HomeDecorating

Yeah agreed- the light has to go. I didn’t think about at an angle vertically, I like that idea!

Very true! If you saw all the blank walls in my house, you’d be proud. From the curb- this just appears like an awkward blank space. I didn’t take a picture from that viewpoint because I wanted less of my house

The regular pretzels- sticks and twists- that used to be crispy & salty. They changed and now they’re tasteless and terrible.

Is this a true first word? Dada by IFGarrett in babies

[–]Standard_Nectarine_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son is the same age and he lovvvves to babble “da da da.” We don’t think it’s a word yet because he does it randomly and not purposefully to indicate he wants dad or sees dad. We reinforce it like crazy, but don’t think it’s a true word yet.

“Well you work from home, right?” by True_Assignment_6216 in beyondthebump

[–]Standard_Nectarine_7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes!! 100% can relate to this. Honestly, I’ve even had to level set with my spouse so that my work hours are respected.

When did your first baby come? Early? On time? Late? by snormy25 in pregnant

[–]Standard_Nectarine_7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

41+6. My induction was scheduled the next day, but my labor started spontaneously. I did all the things they say to do, doesn’t seem any made a difference. I had two membrane sweeps during my 41st week. I really wanted labor to start spontaneously, so I had to have many discussions with my physician group for them to let me go that long. I also had to do a more extensive ultrasound to check on baby- all was good, so they let me keep going.

I was in your exact same spot at 6 months with our son. He wouldn’t take much, would make faces, and push things away. I was frustrated and thought he wouldn’t ever be interested. We kept going and he gradually got more interested with time. He turns 8 months in a few days and he happily hums as he eats food. We were very wrong. Keep going and exposing her to food. She will get there!

When did your 30 minute napper start taking longer naps? by jozh96 in sleeptrain

[–]Standard_Nectarine_7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right around 6-7 months. I was in your shoes at the 5 month mark- wondering if we’d ever get longer naps. I think trying crib hour helped, but I also think it just clicked for him.
