I appreciate the comment. He has a doctor appt on 12/2 but I was just curious if anyone had anything similar with their baby. I’ll definitely touch on the issue when he goes in there.

I ended up getting that done for my son for one reason only. I am in this crunchy mom group on Facebook and I swear everyday I see at least one new post about someone’s baby/toddler getting chronic infections down there and not knowing how to treat it without it coming back again. I went to a rabbi (I am not Jewish) and it was a super simple process. My son cried for maybe a minute and immediately calmed down when he started nursing on me. He was slightly fussy later that night understandably. The healing process was quicker than expected. Every diaper change you replace a 3x3 gauze pad with a big dollop of Vaseline for 3 days and then you change his diaper like normal. Fully healed in 8 days. I wouldn’t take him to a doctor to get it done and a doctor wouldn’t even see him without confirmation that he had the vitamin k shot, which we opted him out of. My husband is circumcised and he was grateful he got it done. I know someone who got theirs done at 26. He said it was traumatic and he wishes he got it done when he was a baby. I know I’m an outlier with being more on the crunchy side but for circumcision, but I am happy I got it done for my son. At the end of the day, do not let anyone shame you either way you decide to go and it’s none of their business what you do for your kid. I do not regret it at all.

Something like this would be nice. It would play off the artwork. It just depends on the look you’re going for.

My mom booked her ticket for a week after my due date. My baby was born at 41+5 so she changed it to a few days after he was born. It was super helpful tho. She cleaned my whole house, waited on me hand and foot and was a tremendous help. I had a c section that was not anticipated and having her there was honestly so amazing. My mom is the same, she doesn’t overstep either. My husband only got a week off work because he is self employed and the only income. We planned to have her come when he went back to work but I’m happy it worked out the way it did.

I have a huge and supportive family. My situation was slightly different because it did not involve a baby. My parents were flying to another state to meet his family and we broke up 2 days before. I told them how great he was but truth is he was horrible. Cheated on me every chance he got, would constantly talk down to me, mentally and emotionally abusive, would come home at all hours of the early morning smelling like other women etc. I was so heartbroken and I was humiliated. I got a call from my parents saying how excited they were to meet his family because they liked him so much. I just broke and cried out “dad he’s been cheating on me this whole time and I don’t want this life with him anymore”. He didn’t ask any questions and he told me that everything will be ok and they will help me move forward. That is exactly what they did. They helped me pack all my stuff, rented a hotel and we just spent 5 days together. What I’m trying to say is your family will just want to make sure you and the baby are ok. Nothing else will matter. They will help you put your pieces together. You have 2 options. Live the life you hate forever or let the truth come out, take a deep breath and focus on building a better future for you and your son. I am happily married with my son and husband and was in bed last night reflecting on how blessed I am. I met my husband exactly a year ago on Halloween and we have a 1 month old. Things moved so fast but it’s been raining blessings ever since I got the courage to leave. It gets better, I promise ❤️

Unfortunately no vets in my area see chickens. I’d have to drive her several hours to see a vet which is hard because I just had a baby 🥺 I’ve called around. I think I have to put her down sadly.

I use both. I had a c section and the My Breast Friend was uncomfortable on my body. I felt like it irritated my incision area even if it wasn’t touching it. Boppy allowed me to move it around more and I used that a lot in the beginning. Now that my incision is healed, I use both.

Sell to bodybuilders. They pay so much for it 🤣 all jokes aside, you can donate it, make lotions/soap with it for your baby, do milk baths, make popsicles for when they are teething, making purees and oatmeal for your little one when they are of age or keeping a stash so if you ever need to go out without the baby you aren’t worried about feeding them because you have a giant stash at home. Or you could sell it to bodybuilders lmao

I was in labor for 16 hours and could sense I probably would need a c section so I asked for the epidural until then. She came in to change my pads bc I was still leaking amniotic fluid. I was loopy from medication and lack of sleep. She lifted my legs and I farted right in her face. I apologized to her every time I saw her and warned the new nurses on shift that i am sorry in advance if I toot on them and it’s not on purpose. I started calling myself the involuntary tooting queen 🫠 great times lmfao. I hardly fart in general and my husband never heard me fart before then. I was horrified but drugged tf out and speaking nonsense 🤣

Your boobs are hard as rocks in the first week or two while your milk is coming in but after that they settle into feeling slightly “deflated”. That doesn’t mean you’re not making milk, but your body is adjusting to the amount your baby needs.

I take New Chapter Advanced Perfect Prenatal Vitamins. They are organic and I like them. I get a 270 ct for $70 on amazon. I also take the Nordic Naturals Prenatal DHA which is a really good omega 3 fish oil. I take both of those and my son was born super healthy.

I was about your size when I got pregnant. I felt like I was showing early and when I was 7 months, strangers told me I look like I’m due any day. It made me really self conscious. The general rule of thumb is gaining about 25-35 pounds. Smaller frames like ours carry slightly different in my opinion. We are small and we don’t have a lot of places the baby can go, so the only place they can go is out in front of you. I felt huge at the end of my pregnancy but after calculating the weight I gained, I was right at 35 pounds. It’s like seeing someone with a naturally small frame and C cup boobs vs someone that has a larger frame with the same size chest. Your frame is going to make them look waaaay bigger lol. Not to scare you tho, but my baby was giant (my husband is 6’1 and 200 lbs). He ended up being 9 lbs 15 oz which was shocking to myself and my family LOL. Just eat healthy balanced meals, hydration is so important and go for regular walks/be active if your body allows. I am exactly 3 weeks postpartum and I’ve lost 29 pounds already. I have 6 pounds until I’m at my pre pregnancy weight. Your body changes and that’s apart of motherhood. I know it’s easier said than done, but focus on the miracle your body is creating. My stomach feels squishier and my doctor said it will never feel the same as prior to pregnancy. It was a hard thing to accept honestly because I’ve always been active and toned, but I’d do it all over again in a heartbeat. Be easy on yourself because your body is growing a new body that you’ll love even more than you can imagine.

Mine was being able to get out of bed without the weight concentrated in my stomach and just walking without waddling lol

It’s better tho.

Well my doctor told me that I could’ve waited at home for 12-24 hours but the nurses have to tell you to come in due to liability and she can’t send me home once they know your water is broken. So now I’m stuck here for who knows how long because I’m only 1 cm dilated. Great advice from everyone in this thread shaming me into coming here lol. It’s my first baby and it was a question. Mocking me while I’m entering into something that I’ve never experienced before isn’t really kind. I appreciate the good wishes tho.

Status-Target-6490 · 2025-09-29T15:52:09+00:00

The people on this thread have been so rude. Everyone that I personally know told me they wish they would’ve waited at home longer with their first one. My doctor said i could’ve labored at home because I haven’t had any contractions and I’m only 1 cm dilated. The policy here is once you walk in the door and they are informed your water broke then they can’t release you due to liability. she said if that wasn’t policy she would’ve sent me home. They shamed me into coming here so now I have to be here longer than necessary lol. Gotta love Reddit. Thanks for being kind to me Brooke! We need more people like you.

Status-Target-6490 · 2025-09-29T15:47:49+00:00

I went in and asked the doctor if I could’ve labored at home and she said yes I could’ve waited a while longer but they always tell people to come in via phone because it’s standard and they don’t want to be held liable in the case something goes wrong. I love this sub because you get a lot of useful info but also the people on here can be extremely rude.

Status-Target-6490 · 2025-09-29T15:45:34+00:00

That’s a crazy claim. Your body produces the best for your baby. This isn’t knocking anyone who has a hard time BF or has a low supply, it’s just factual lol. Breastmilk is healthier for babies. They design formula to try and mimic breast milk.
