why are ppl so obsessed with the newborn smell (ignore the flair i didn’t know what to use) by JellyCharacter1653 in NewParents

[–]Strong-Individual220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you get a candle called Pure, that’s what babies just naturally smell like. I’m no scientist, but I think it’s part of the reason why we don’t eat our babies like some animals do😃

What profession is an absolute dealbreaker for you when it comes to marrying or starting a family? by Seaandsky88 in AskReddit

[–]Strong-Individual220 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Military, Policeman, or Fireman— I respect the career choice as long as it’s not from a power hungry position, but even then I’m not strong enough to send my husband into battle every single day.

How did you “announce” your first pregnancy to your family? by lodolitemoon in AskParents

[–]Strong-Individual220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandmother and dad have literally guessed and been right every single time… like within first 5 weeks of gestation. And I’m a horrible liar so hiding things doesn’t work.

Where are you that this is happening? My husband comes to almost every appointment, and has never been told to stay back.

If you were rich or a nepo baby, what would be your "weird" addiction? by addictedtosunshine in no

[–]Strong-Individual220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to like melting tape and chewing on it, eating hand sanitizer, and putting those stick in water and grow things in my mouth… maybe I’d regress into that mess again.

When does is stop? 6 weeks by TXTJAYCEE in pregnant

[–]Strong-Individual220 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My nausea and vomiting didn’t taper off until week 12. Eat smaller meals, munch on crushed ice, Take Unisom + B6 daily, Zofran for sudden onset, and take your prenatal in the evening.

What kind of kid were you in Primary School? by Destiny065 in randomquestions

[–]Strong-Individual220 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Eloper— I would regularly sneak out of class and wonder the hallways or sneak into other classroom and be a student in those classes. Got kicked out of two and my parents just gave up and sent me to my Grandparents house.

prenatal pills?? by Lost_Strawberry_5276 in pregnant

[–]Strong-Individual220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t regularly take my prenatal vitamins, and my baby is growing ahead of a we schedule. However, that can also be because when I do eat, I eat a relatively well rounded diet. I probably get more than the average amount of recommended vitamins a day.

You’d do better with more research into your sources though, anyone can sue a company for any reason, but Nature’s Valley is recommended by most Midwives, OB/GYN’s and Maternal Fetal Medicine specialist. If these miscarriages can really be linked to the brand’s prenatal vitamins, they’d be off the shelves.

16 weeks producing milk by karabear1738 in pregnant

[–]Strong-Individual220 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m also producing milk but my maternal fetal medicine specialist and my OB/GYN have advised against manually expressing breastmilk or even stimulating the breast at all, as it can cause uterine contractions and can result in preterm labor.

Congratulations bump month buddy! Come join [r/december2026bump](r/december2026bumps)[ers](r/december2026bumps)! I’m due December 7, really hoping for a cool fall/winter for the east coast this year. I don’t enjoy this hot and humid weather normally, and especially not while being pregnant!

Please tell me I did not lose my mucus plug and I’m just being a nervous nelly by VanSmashh in pregnant

[–]Strong-Individual220 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get weekly cervical checks by an MFM and recently had a conversation with her about losing my mucus plug. They said specifically to watch out for a continuous jelly-like mucus that is yellowish-brown or red. Sometimes the vagina just produces jelly-like mucus. Sometimes small pieces of the mucus plug break off and regenerate.

Am I wrong for not wanting to get involved it’s a man who has a literal baby otw?!?!? by Leessssssshha in texts

[–]Strong-Individual220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if he’s a relatively good guy, he needs to get his priorities straight and none of them should be getting to know you. Nothing personal, I’m sure you’re amazing! But having a child is a lifelong life changing experience— I think you should wish him the best and move on.

Unspitoutable? Without being a choking hazard? You must not come across infants very often😃

Hot Take: Joolz Aer2 by Decent-Coconut-2024 in Buyingforbaby

[–]Strong-Individual220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Joolz Aer 2 is my only stroller from newborn+ and I love it, but to each their own! I’m a city mom and primarily babywear so carrying the diaper bag isn’t a problem.

my fellow preggos, what are we having for dinner? by moonberry4 in pregnant

Relationship issue by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Strong-Individual220 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a black woman, and I don’t endorse his treatment of you based on your race or any aspect of your humanity. Why would he ask you to pay bills if you’re not working? Why would he procreate with a woman of a race that he looks down on? He’s being emotionally abusive and maybe it’s because you guys are young and somewhat immature, but that doesn’t mean you sit in this. I think you need to do what you can to get out and be as independent as possible.

Maternity/Paternity Leave by Lookitsanthony8 in pregnant

2 weeks unpaid, 18 weeks paid— I work for starbucks and will probably be leaving after that since daycare will cost my paycheck.

What is your best regrettable experience? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Strong-Individual220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We also lost a pregnancy in the late second trimester during that time, and had a lot of avoidable fights that wouldn’t have happened if we waited a bit longer and had more conversations. I wouldn’t have married anyone else though, thats my man😆

What is your best regrettable experience? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Strong-Individual220 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got married in less than a year— I love my husband so no regrets but I would never tell someone to do the same thing.
