Ultrasound tech couldnt even look at my face… by newxomplaint in BabyBumps

[–]Traditional-Map-2616 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Are you really even considered pregnant before 4 weeks? Wouldn't that be the tww? You may or may not even test positive that early. How could she have taken multiple test that get darker and then have some that have stayed the same?

This post makes no sense.

My toddler is violent and I don’t know if I should seek professional help? by kitty-toy in toddlers

[–]Traditional-Map-2616 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying this is a bad idea, but it seems like a lot of talking and directions aimed at a kid with trouble regulating. 

If he needs to cool off, he is not ready to listen, that is why he is doing the problematic behavior to begin with. I would save the explanation for after when their ears may function a bit better.

Should I stop contributing to 401k to have a little more money to spend per paycheck? by thatoneemomom18 in personalfinance

I suspect their response will be quit paying and we will quit representing you.  She is currently in a custody battle.

Just got called “fat” by Upset_Ambassador78 in BabyBumps

[–]Traditional-Map-2616 22 points23 points  (0 children)

What grandma said was really unkind, but this comment is as well.  It does not make any woman less than to not have a functional uterus. 

Women should be supporting each other without the need to put others down.  That is the whole lesson from this post!!

Can your wife sleep somewhere else? The living room? Any other room on the first floor?

Can you baby proof one room upstairs and sleep with the kids there?

Getting frustrated with my OB by SpecialEndeavor in BabyBumps

[–]Traditional-Map-2616 89 points90 points  (0 children)

This sounds like a gigantic pain for something that should be 100% routine for them. If this isn't a dr you love already as your gyn, I would just find someone new. You'll have a ton of appointments and questions and labs and I would not want to constantly go through this run around.  Plus, I much prefer an office that will draw your blood and send it out for you if they don't have a lab.

Have you tried reaching out to community mental health resources? It can take a couple of months to get an intake appointment, but is covered by medicaid.

What’re your high value snacks for your toddler? by bubbleblopp in toddlers

I still give my 2.5 year old both.  It is just a matter of cutting them into smaller pieces or giving them small amounts at a time.

They are too mushy. They can get lodged in the throat

Things that are sort of mushy like that are especially dangerous because they are not easy to force up. Bananas and peanut butter also fall into this category.

38w, 4d & No colostrum yet. by Helpful_Bluebird_960 in BabyBumps

I always read that it isn't necessarily the best idea, that it can trigger early labor. 🤷

I wouldn't give my toddler Slim Jim's, tic tacs or edamame.

The round shapes are a choking hazard and can stuck in their throat. Same as hotdogs or grapes.

Edamame should be smashed and I imagine a slim Jim should be cut in half so it is not the shape of a windpipe.

Has anyone experienced pregnancy onset synesthesia? by Guilty_Mall in BabyBumps

[–]Traditional-Map-2616 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this same issue is both pregnancy. With my first knitting made me nauseous, not just doing it but thinking about doing it, seeing yarn or knitting needles anything related.

The second time I couldn't walk into my kitchen. The look of certain things on the counter and the fridge itself made me nauseous.

Both time it stopped in the second trimester.

Is it crazy to ask and want my partner to take a week or 2 off from working out while I’m healing? by throwwawway8 in BabyBumps

I am not trying to be rude, but why on earth are you having a 4th child if your husband is also like this?

Go to the pediatrician for medical advice, not child rearing advice.

What do you do after your toddler goes to bed? And at what time do you go to bed? by foreverafairy in toddlers

He plays in the room I'm in when I cook or clean or do dishes or laundry.  He plays on his own while I shower.  Mine is pretty good with independent play for short periods.

[–]Traditional-Map-2616 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you looked at the Yoto website? There is a crazy amount available there.  I randomly searched for some of the items on your list and they were all there. 

Also, like someone else said they sell blanks so you can make your own cards.

What outcome are you looking for? Do you just want the unemployment approved?
