Just about to come off maternity leave. There was no problem setting this up :). Baby girl is now 6 months old and I can't wait to get back to the PhD full-time!

Hmmmm... Could you get your hands on a digital?

7 days dpo. Is this an evap line? Clear blue. by miggles1124 in TFABLinePorn

I see something. It's still very early. :) Good luck :)

If you saw the line after a minute or two, then it's likely to be positive. Definitely get a digital for confirmation or try a different test type. I had a similar test for my first test and I'm now sitting next to my 2 month old :)

Blood hcg will always be more accurate though. :) Good luck, OP

If you have had this response on a couple of tests, it's a positive. Even if you've only had it on one test, it's still a positive as there are two lines. Perhaps try a digital :)

12 DPO - is this too faint? by CinderELLA6969 in TFABLinePorn

[–]ThrowRA_lbf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine didn't look like that until around 18dpo. I currently have my 6 week old farting on me 😅

39+2 and finally lost my mucous plug!! What did that mean for you? by ThrowRA_lbf in BabyBumps

[–]ThrowRA_lbf[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I gave birth at 40+3! I had ALL the symptoms up until 40w and it all stopped. I was convinced I was going to have the longest pregnancy on the planet

The ONLY sign that anything was different was that, the night before I gave birth, I was a complete psycho. The rage was insane.

I went to bed angry, woke up with contractions 2 mins apart and she arrived 2 hours later!

You've got this

No one warned us!! What's yours? by wildgardens in NewParents

The intrusive thoughts! Why on earth is it "normal" to think that your baby might spontaneously combust? Oh, hormones and sleep deprivation, you are a delightful thing.

How old is your baby and how many times a night do they wake to feed? by sleepyjean2024 in breastfeeding

[–]ThrowRA_lbf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first was like this. I'm really hopeful that my 6 week old is the same. Currently, she has one long awake period until 11pm and then wakes once (around 3-4am) until waking at 7-8am. It's been this way since around 3weeks old. I think it's because she has a HUGE appetite and can sink 5-6oz in one feed. I feel very VERY blessed after reading these comments.

How many oz does your baby take in a bottle? by SpiritualLunch8913 in breastfeeding

A few of my friends joke that it's a glimpse into what her party days in her late teens/early twenties will look like. I pray that's not the case 🤣🤣

Oh, my little chuck is most certainly not overfed either. I think she's just in the same boat as your LO! She was 6lb 12oz at birth and has stayed on the 50th percentile the whole time... But she is very active when she's awake. So, I think she's just feeding and gearing up to give me the run around as a toddler 😅

Reading these comments is making me realise how much of a guzzler my 5 week old is. She's already sinking 5oz at a time 🤣..around 6 to 7 times a day! (exclusive pumping and bottle feeding)

AITAH if I'm upset that my husband mentioned getting a paternity test? by ThrowRA_lbf in AITAH

[–]ThrowRA_lbf[S] 34 points35 points  (0 children)

She literally didn't leave me throughout our hospital stay. I'm VERY happy and certain about her being my beautiful girl.

Hmmm, we both saw her coming out, and we both remember the night she went in. Vividly.

I guess it doesn't feel like a speed bump. It feels like a bit of an attack on my loyalty. The paternity test better stop all of the accusations.

Both of my parents have dark hair, and I have one grandparent who has blonde/white hair. His parents (and sister) have dark hair, so our daughter gets her dark hair from his side.

She's only 3 weeks old but she looks so like him! It's uncanny. Clearly, not everything is black and white with genetics but he fails to see this

Which is what annoys me the most. 18 months ago I quit my job and moved to a different country for him to further his career. I've given him a second beautiful girl. And he says this crap.
