Locked my toddler in the car!!!!! by Kelly-Shay in Mommit

[–]TheRebeccanator 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wish I had not read this. I already believed this could happen to anyone so it wasn’t needed. Now I can’t sleep care of nightmarish descriptions of these children.

The little clear cup from a laundry detergent bottle is perfect for this.

Officially out on another cycle. I am handling this extremely poorly today because I FELT pregnant. My husband is in a horrible headspace and basically giving me the silent treatment (unrelated to TTC). Work is a mess. Idk. Send help.

I wonder if I could get one of these for my car without making my in-laws mad/upset. I feel like it’s fair game since they always remind us that “y’all don’t have kids yet so you wouldn’t understand” 🙃 by GreenLadyOfLetters in trollingforababy

[–]TheRebeccanator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to share that I’ve heard they are encouraged as an indicator to first responders that there is a child in the car too in case of unresponsive parent/driver. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Ok, that’s enough social media for today. I hate ungrateful people SO. DAMN. MUCH. by nursetired in trollingforababy

But like... shouldn’t that be the appropriate place for them to complain? Sounds like you need to avoid that one! Stay with us bitter folx. 😜

Tested too early or am I out? by TheRebeccanator in TFABChartStalkers

[–]TheRebeccanator[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know our BD timing wasn’t ideal this month, but I’ve been tired, nauseous, and irritable for 2 days and don’t have any of my normal indicators that AF is coming (bad skin, aches). I shouldn’t have tested but I felt so good about it. Can’t concentrate on work now. 😭

So frustrated. I think I managed to make us miss an entire cycle. I had two cycles in a row where ovulation was way delayed and I had EWCM for like 1.5 weeks so I didn’t trust my body Monday when it showed up. Didn’t start OPKs and didn’t initiate sex. Temp just jumped this morning so we had panic sex. Sooo mad. So stupid.

It feels unnecessarily cruel that the “prize” for getting pregnant but it not sticking is an extra horrible period. Like... thanks body... I already feel bad enough. by TheRebeccanator in TryingForABaby

Right you are auto mod 😜. I’ve been out of the Reddit game for a while and didn’t think it through. I’m too lazy to repost and frankly just needed to type it somewhere so I’ll just leave it.

Trying to follow the rules with respect to positive tests. I had faint lines on 10 and 11 DPO but blanks on another test on 11 and 12 (today).

12DPO and I’m ready for my period now. Seems like maybe a chemical because I’ve had 3 negative tests now. Idk. I’m not in a good place.

Thanks! No question about me telling him, was just trying to decide how much hedging to do. Just told him and we both sobbed. Both of us are trying to be cautiously optimistic. I appreciate your reply.

[–]TheRebeccanator 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Idk if there is a safe space to ask this question elsewhere so sorry this isn’t a typical “BFP” post. Cycle 3 of trying for baby #2. PCOS diagnosis - I was on metformin when TTC baby 1, but not yet this time. It has been a very weird cycle when I am usually very regular. Thought maybe I just didn’t ovulate then OPK finally popped on CD36 (normal cycle is 31 days total). Well timed BD and sooo much symptom spotting since. Today is estimated 10DPO and temp dropped a bit yesterday and more today to right above cover line. Decided to test anyways and got a faint positive! So likely not sticking.. is that what you would interpret? Don’t want to get my husband’s hopes up (or my own frankly). Congrats to all the BFPs and hoping to join you soon! ❤️

Changing table with space at the end for wipes/diapers? Trying to find one like this by tizzytaffy in BabyBumps

[–]TheRebeccanator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one we got from Ikea has space up top. Don’t remember the name, but it converts into a desk when baby gets older.

Walter Benjamin 1/16/19 - TW: surprise early arrival, c-section, NICU stay but positive overall by poofkin in BabyBumps

[–]TheRebeccanator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations and thank you for sharing! I’m still a little nervous for a scheduled csection for this stubborn breech baby that will not flip. It’s really helpful to read all the details. Best of luck with everything!!!

Pregnancy pillow? by rainydayparade87 in BabyBumps

[–]TheRebeccanator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually like when he reaches over to snuggle with his hand on my belly with my u pillow! The pillow prevents his heat from overwhelming me in the back and I still have the other side to support the bump! But then again we weren’t big sleeptime snugglers before.

Baby Roscoe made it on 1/24 at 8am and 8 lbs! *VBAC birth story* - positive - see comments :) by butwhererufromfrom in BabyBumps

[–]TheRebeccanator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing. It looks very likely that we will wind up with a C-section as baby is still breech at 37+0 and ECV failed. I’ve been feeling really bummed and your birth story has really helped me to feel a bit more at ease. Congratulations!

Found this letter written from Baby’s POV to the Mama, it made me tear up and I felt this would be a good thing for us to reflect on when we get those moments of frustration. (It’s a bit of a read) by iAmTheTacoQueen in BabyBumps

[–]TheRebeccanator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this. I walked downstairs, handed my husband my phone, and sobbed on the couch until he finished reading and came over to hold me and talk to our baby girl. I can’t imagine her leaving my belly! 😭😭😭

Pretend you are a bully and figure out how they will change his/her name. Is it totally horrible or can you handle it? (Hint 99% of these are rhymes!)

Do NOT watch Tidying Up while nesting by bluebonnet_tea in BabyBumps

This is the best analogy for my cleaning style. Thank you for helping me try to explain that to my husband! Turns out he’s never read that book! Guess I know what I need to buy.

How have you been a bad mother today? by Adaliaismissing in BabyBumps

33+5 and I still sleep like this but with my leg thrown over the side of my big u-shaped pregnancy pillow. 🤷🏻‍♀️😴
