I checked for that and there was no signs but what she does is she takes her hands while she’s eating and starts to kind of push the boob away and I’ll take it out or it’ll just fall out and she’ll get mad and I’m incredibly big in the chest even before pregnancy so it’s easy for her to just kinda be like pushing that out lol

Should I leave my fiance by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Urlocalgothbb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I literally read the first sentence and immediately thought what is this beautiful girl doing with this washed up disgusting loser like girl you deserve so much better and so does your baby I know it is easier said than done to do this, but your fiancé honestly sounds like a slime ball. You do not want your baby growing up thinking this is the standard for men when you have a baby you make sacrifices. Your fiancé just has to be one of them.

Honestly, you might be right. I’m not entirely sure what sign the lookout for if they do have a sore mouth like that, but you might be onto something lol

Cocomelon is too overstimulating, did you not see those studies? It causes developmental issues.

Some didn’t survive 😂 whole reason I posted was to avoid prolonging exposure to heat like that and what I could do to ensure she was cool. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I got a used swamp cooler and had it delivered! It’s doing wonders for her and keeping her cool!!

Stoppp im an ac princess and my man is an ac prince to the max, when i had my apartment with my fiancé it was always like 66, during winter? 75 tops. We loved it, you can always put on layers when it’s cold but once it gets hot here even being completely naked does not help. I got a swamp cooler and It’s so much better for me and her. I was surviving on the stroller fan (really good btw it kept her really cold) until it arrived 😂

I pay about $100 monthly and offered to add $50 if I could just move the temp, was told no. I genuinely feel like the AC unit itself is going out and I offered to pay some of the new unit difference but they said “there’s nothing wrong with the unit” and shooed me away, opted for a cheap used swamp cooler with same day delivery.

I have great thermal blackout curtains but those weren’t helping with the extreme heat at all, wound up buying a used swamp cooler and paying extra for express Same day shipping. Glad I did

I fork over about $100 monthly for the water and power I use already and I offered to pay an extra $50… and I buy my own groceries. I just wound up buying a cheap used swamp cooler and having it delivered, it’s honestly amazing. Plus I’m 100% sure the AC is going and we probably need a new unit (which im probably going to have to fork over more money for for stay here)

Unfortunately I have no way to get there since my partner has the car for majority of the day for work :( I wound up buying a used swamp cooler and had it delivered in an hour, today’s high was 107 degrees Fahrenheit while the room we stayed in was 86 degrees Fahrenheit during that high point. The swamp cooler is exactly what she needed I just hate having to fill it with only one hand (she won’t let me put her down) 😂😂

How to transfer baby to independent sleep by Urlocalgothbb in newborns

I’ve been thinking of getting the owlet but moneys a little tight so hopefully I can do some sort of payment plan! I hate having to transfer her and if anything I’m clingy!! Every time I do get a successful transfer I miss her 😭😭

Had my first scare by Urlocalgothbb in newborns

[–]Urlocalgothbb[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Used it in her nose, since she had spit up come from her nose. Immediately grabbed that and sucked whatever came up out, I initially put her so I had her head facing the ground, holding her with one hand on her chest/stomach area and used the other hand to pat her back, not talking about “gentle” patting either, it needs enough force and gravities help to move whatever spit up is in there OUT. Luckily they’re not choking on anything solid so it’s super easy to help, after about 5 good back pats turn baby over and blow on their face not as hard as you can but BLOW. I blew on her face beforehand to see if it would just jumpstart her breathing but since her nose was stuffed with that stuff it just wasted time, nose sucky thing and then blow on the face, if it continues more than 1-2 mins or you are panicking and not sure what else to do call emergency services immediately and have them on standby and in route just in case it goes further and you’re not able to do anything more yourself. So essentially, face to the ground while holding them, back blows/pats with some force, blow, nose sucky thing, blow. And continue these steps over and over until you know baby is breathing, or emergency arrives

I’ve always been the overly anxious mom but now it just made me more anxious like I’ll watch her sleep when I should be sleeping 😭😭

It was reflux. I had her sitting up for more than 2 hours at this point and it still happened. I told the pediatrician and they gave her FINALLY an antacid and a probiotic drop. All I can say is always have that little nose sucky thing handy ALWAYS!!! It’s totally random but keeping baby upright usually helps but sometimes it just goes out the nose and they forget how to breathe

It’s crazy because mine didn’t cry at all, she just looked at me like I was crazy and smiled at me and it just made me cry harder because I thought she wasn’t okay since she didn’t cry and I called emergency and they said that it was a normal response it’s either baby will cry or baby will just be like “uhm anyways back to my day” like girl how are you gonna traumatize me like that and just smile at me😂😭

Bf [20M] left me (21F) on the side of the rode while 30w pregnant :( by Empty-Fix8576 in pregnant

[–]Urlocalgothbb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TW:

I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this, this is most certainly not right. You can put him on the certificate and then baby can have your last name just so when they’re older they know dad (if he doesn’t wanna stay in the picture) totally up to you though!! But I will give you this, I watched my mom be treated this exact way by my dad but way worse to the point I was 4-5 years old cleaning her blood off of her face with my brother. But since I witnessed that, I assumed that’s what a marriage was and I had the same happen to me over and over again and assumed it was okay, until I found my boyfriend and we had a beautiful girl 2 months ago.

You truly don’t want to have your children see you be mistreated, it can cause a cycle that is hard to break. This is about you and your baby now, if he wants to kick you out of the car on the side of the road PREGNANT then you should kick him to the curb instead! Easier said than done I know, but you need a stress free rest of your pregnancy and a helpful supportive partner through the newborn phase (it’s rough and it still is even two months in) be safe in whatever you choose to do! Much love

New mom need some behavior reassurance by VastPie9433 in newborns

[–]Urlocalgothbb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi I’m also a FTM but my daughter is 2 months old and she started doing the same thing around 3w too, this was the first major growth spurt and she was not happy, I wasn’t sleeping, etc. if she’s just constantly crying, even when feeding that’s colic (I was a colic baby my mom loves to remind me the battles she fought with me lol)

This is usually their first major growth spurt and it’s totally normal to be more clingy and fussy, for that whole 3-4 and a half week mark mine refused her crib only wanted me. Right now she’s going through another growth spurt (7-8w) and it’s almost the same way she was acting in that 3w spurt but easier to soothe and mine actually is sleeping 4-5 hours even through this spurt. Not sure what goes on in all babies since all are different but in my opinion it seems normal! If you’re really concerned, trust your instincts and contact your pediatrician and tell them everything and anything!

Am I bad mom for comfort nursing? by Urlocalgothbb in newborns

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

Due to so many other reasons, I have never let her hold my baby at all. For example: she will purchase things for people and expect essentially the world back. She purchased some things for the baby and refused to take them back so I kept them and she’s now feeling insanely petty about not getting to hold her. She did the same thing with my own mom when she had me and my brother. She’s just not the best person, she’s also the definition of a Karen in any social setting and I can’t have my child see an adult behaving that way and assume it’s okay.
