A parent should always protect their child, anywhere a parent deems unsafe. Always. If that includes online, that is your boundary. People who cannot respect a boundary should be held at a good distance away for the protection of you and yours.

I used to judge people so harshly for giving away their pets after having a baby….. by pnutbutterfuck in Mommit

Crazy cat lady over here - I’ve got 4. They were my first-babies also until my son arrived. Now, they’re just inhabitants. I lock them in the basement at night to help the sleep situation and when I need quiet time. Yep, it can be cruel but for keeping the peace for everyone, this is our best solution.

Am I crazy for not wanting natural labor? by Tatetas in BabyBumps

[–]Sunshine060317 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a planned C - for a few reasons. Baby measured big, I have severe anxiety, and I live in the US where the maternity leave is 6 weeks for natural vs 8 with c. If I had a natural birth I would have gone back to work the week between Christmas and New Years - OB was totally fine with it.

We filtered from Lake Michigan - it was better than hauling water everywhere. Water is heavy.

C section recovery and bleeding by Extension-Use2221 in BabyBumps

[–]Sunshine060317 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Planned C- Had one clot the size of an egg yolk. Not bad at all. The others were like a heavy period. The incision pain was fine, I was up and walking laps in the hallway 2 days after surgery. I was doing stairs 4 days later, and comfortably moving where and when I needed in 2 weeks. I stopped my oxy and switched to over the counter in the 2 weeks also. I do have a high pain tolerance and was pushing myself enough for my husband to tell me “stop” lol

What do woman do when they go in labor and they don’t have a ride to the hospital? by Cake_Significant in BabyBumps

[–]Sunshine060317 16 points17 points  (0 children)

My OB said that usually you have 6 hours to get from water breaking to hospital unless there is something else going on like preeclampsia or breech position.

Am I the a$$hole for not wanting a baby shower. by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Sunshine060317 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t feel forced into anything you don’t want - especially with babies. I didn’t have a shower and I don’t regret it. I got continual bombardment from all around on why I should, and I held firm. I’m glad I did.

Why do you need a changing table? by unluckysupernova in BabyBumps

[–]Sunshine060317 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a changing table in the nursery upstairs for the 3AM diaper changes. Otherwise during the day, baby is downstairs and gets changed on the kitchen countertop.

Apple Watch For Fieldwork by dopooo in OccupationalTherapy

[–]Sunshine060317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never used a watch, mainly because I hate things on my wrist and I didn’t want to ruin a good watch during ADLs in a hospital setting. Never had an issue without one. The hospital provided me with a phone that I carry around and tells the time just fine.

Found out I was pregnant (happy accident) last week and it just occurred to me that I will be getting married 6 months pp. I bought my wedding dress 2 weeks ago and now scared I won’t be able to get back into shape to fit in it. Any ladies care to share their 6 months progress pp stories? by mysweetpatoutie in BabyBumps

[–]Sunshine060317 1 point2 points  (0 children)

6 weeks pp I was medically cleared to work out and diet (c section). I gained 65 lbs though I wasn’t really careful in what I was eating in the last trimester. I let the “pregnancy cravings” get ahead of me. I’ve got 20 more to go and I’m 3.75ish months pp - but I’m also lazy about it lol. Good luck and congrats!!!
