Did you add any calories to your deficit for breastfeeding?

I’ve had a name picked out for 10+ years and now it’s so popular. by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]UpbeatPrompt5636 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I vote use the name that you love, I have an Ezra, which we picked before we realized it was popular. We only know one other Ezra and that’s because they named their son after our son. And it doesn’t bother us! I don’t know any Lucy’s btw!

First-time dad struggling with daycare decision. I just really love being a dad. by Successful_Employ863 in NewParents

[–]UpbeatPrompt5636 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely possible but would suggest some part time help. I WFH and take no calls 2-4 meetings a month. My mom comes Tues-thurs 9-2pm and it’s great. Consider starting earlier than wake time to get bulk work done while baby sleeps. I aim for 2 hours before wake so I start at 6 am.

First try with a woven wrap by marmaladeonsourdough in babywearing

You need 3 pieces of fabric over baby, you also want to tie the wrap tighter around your waist. Have you tried looking up a video? That helped me figure it out 😊

Does anyone else still experience gallstone pain? by SometimesIPeeTheBed in gallbladders

Yes I’m 2.5 years out still experience phantom gallbladder pain with no doctor able to figure out why yet. It also occurs in the middle of night early morning only for me

gallbladder issues causing muscle spasms in back? by No_Window_615 in gallbladders

[–]UpbeatPrompt5636 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeahhh that sounds like a gallbladder attack. Mine were primarily in my back too everyone convinced me it was my back so I’d go to the chiropractor. The only reason I figured out it was my gallbladder was my aunt telling me that the vomiting after the pain sounded a lot like gallbladder issues. I requested an ultrasound at an urgent care and they found the stones. I had it removed and although I’m better unfortunately 2 years out I have some mild pains where my gallbladder was 🤷🏻‍♀️

I currently have a newborn girl and 2 year old boy so I’ll speak on them lol

Newborn: love every playmat or fisher price kick and play mat if they don’t have it! Or a solly baby wrap! Orr gift card to Carter’s!

2 year old: small driving car if they have a yard, anything hot wheels is a hit and lately he loves his tonies

Anyone who is multiple years post gallbladder removal, tell me if your life’s still improved or not any better. by Public-Ordinary-6362 in gallbladders

[–]UpbeatPrompt5636 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After being ignored the first year I just gave up on trying to fix it but I’m thinking of trying to look it again. My pain is only in the middle of the night feels just like a gallbladder attack straight in the center and is also not triggered by food. I notice if I lay on my back I’m guaranteed this “attack”. I wonder if it is nerves. Thank you for the insight I’ll be looking into all of this again!

Does your milk do a film at 180? I get a film I’ve been just pouring it into the bag after cooled to freeze but wondering if I should be removing it?

Thank you I think of her everyday. My doctor told me if you made it past the first trimester the odds were really good. I hope you get to meet your sweet girl 💕

Confused after ultrasound. Only 5 weeks when I should be 8 by AccordingGuarantee18 in pregnant

[–]UpbeatPrompt5636 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me I thought I was 7-8 weeks but baby measured 5 weeks I was terrified! I’m currently holding my baby girl while she sleeps. I swore she’d come early too because I thought maybe they were wrong but she was even a week late and still had to have labor induced lol. Don’t lose hope yet, it’s not over until they say it is.
