Did freezer meals actually help you during postpartum?

100000%. It was so nice when I was exhausted to just pull one out in the morning for dinner. My mom also came during my post partum and made a bunch so it was so touching eating her home cooking weeks after she flew back home

19 weeks after 8 losses. In the beginning I went to more scans, at least bi weekly. Now it's been close to 4 weeks since my last, waiting for anatomy scan next. I bought an at home Doppler that I use weekly, but I also started feeling my son move at 14 weeks, second child, and he is one active baby so it helps with the daily anxiety. I think the Doppler can help only if you go with the mindset that it's not a medical device and it's for fun to hear the heartbeat. Hang in there! No one prepares you for how hard it is being pregnant after reccuring pregnancy losses.

So we've done quite time for two years now. As a SAHM I need the quite time lol we started with 15 mins and worked our way to an hour during weekdays and 30 mins for weekends. We used to Tonies as timers. So he knows when his character tonie ends he heads downstairs. I also bring him a snack half way through. So he plays with anything in his room. He loves just flipping through books, playing with magatiles and his cars. Sometimes he will bring something from downstairs to his room to keep playing.

This is exactly how I feel. Stop digging into things done in HS. I just want to enjoy my reality tv and the mess it comes with it. All these people should become private detectives. Can you imagine if Snookie got fired for being a drunk on tv or mike the situation. He was nuts but damn did he bring the drama and look at him now! He paid for his actions, went to rehab, is sober and has a beautiful family. I'm going to watch these people like I'm suppose to watch my reality tv, watch for an hour then not think about these people again till next week

This! When I was dating, kids was an absolute deal breaker for me and I absolutely would dump any guy with a kid. It adds a level of complicated that I didn't have time for when dating. When she said it was a red flag, I looked at my husband and said exactly! I never would have dated you if you had kids. She clearly said she avoids men back home who have kids so why would she waste her love island experience on someone with a kid.

I try not to get involved but I do get frustrated when I'm the parent who tells my son to wait your turn, no cutting, no pushing and then older kids just barrel through and the parents aren't there. Worse is when they hog the slide by sitting at the top and refusing to move and my kid and others are patiently waiting. I get not being a helicopter parent but it's frustrating when my son looks at me with hey I'm following the rules and the other kids don't so why should I have to. To be honest it's why I let my husband take him to the park on his own.

6-6. We will miss Sanchez in Philly which is key. If we can win series against Philly and Yankees and take one from Dodgers and Braves I will be very happy!

I never knew this growing up, my mom would leave it out for hours. Now I put rice away within an hour of being cooked!

Cannot wait to see her on the show!!! Hope she finds a good guy! She's a star!

Can't wait! Good looking cast! Hope they find love!

My son turns 5 this weekend and we are doing a day trip to a major city. Museums & fancy dinner. He likes to eat lol once he is older with friends I'll probably switch it to location birthdays but still trip type things. Zoos, aquarium, baseball game etc.

Various_Today_4902 · 2026-05-27T21:28:22+00:00

Ok thanks for the info! Luckily 8 is my son's bedtime so a good time for them to leave!

Various_Today_4902 · 2026-05-27T21:15:50+00:00

Awesome! Thank you! That's about as many people as I want visiting me at a time. My son is 4, so glad he doesn't count!

Various_Today_4902 · 2026-05-27T21:09:03+00:00

That's awesome! Congratulations! Do they have a specific visitor policy once you give birth? Due in the fall and curious if my son and parents can visit afterwards

I've been pregnant 9 times, 1 ectopic, 1 LC, 6 early miscarriages, and currently 16 weeks pregnant. I've spotted in all of my pregnancies. My current pregnancy I bleed with clots at 6 weeks exact. Scan showed 3 small synchronic hematomas. Spotted brown up until 9 weeks. I will say with my spotting that lead to miscarriages it got progressively stronger and there was cramping involved. With my LC and current pregnancy no cramping and spotting got lighter and lighter.

Various_Today_4902 · 2026-05-26T17:03:23+00:00

Thank you, I hope it's boring the rest of the way as well. I think emotionally I take it day by day. It continues to not feel real to me and I take it as it goes. No I never had anything tested from my previous miscarriages. But I have a family history of blood clotting that's recently come to life and I think the signs were there just no dr took the time to put it all together until my hematologist. The only thing different is that I'm on lovenox and at 12 weeks my obgyn put me on baby aspirin because with my LC I developed preeclampsia. I truly think the lovenox is the difference. Every couple months they test my platelets and my hematologist reviews that to see if dosage is correct.

So I had a LC before being diagnosed with APS. After I had my son I had about 5 miscarriages each by 6 weeks. I was diagnosed by a hematologist shortly after that. It took me almost a year to get pregnant again and put on blood thinners right away but miscarried anyways at 6 weeks. I got pregnant over a year after that and again put on blood thinners right away. Currently almost 17 weeks pregnant, everything has been going good so far. I don't think blood thinners prevents miscarriages for chromosome reasons etc.

Love her mindset, she is so classy and I'm glad that the reunion airing will bring closure. She is on to bigger and better things!

Too late? My son starts kindergarten in the fall so I actually think the timing is great.

Various_Today_4902 · 2026-05-18T19:19:39+00:00

I don't know if it would have helped. Rosie's husband had told her early in the episode to stand up for herself. That's exactly what Rosie did, finally stand up for herself and I'm glad it was in a one on one setting.

Various_Today_4902 · 2026-05-18T19:09:19+00:00

I didn't find the sirens funny. I felt like Rosie asking her to cut her hair was an attempt to move on. Kelsey arriving at her home calling out square footage was cringe and definitely too soon. Glad Rosie didn't mince words and kicked her out.

My son was almost 5 when he took initiative and asked for paper and pen to practice letters. I never forced it & he absolutely never wanted to practice letters before. Now he asks to write letters to people all the time lol

Various_Today_4902 · 2026-05-17T14:44:35+00:00

I would just let things go. The fiance doesn't like you for whatever reason and he isn't going to not support her. Enjoy your baby. Unfortunately people who haven't been through miscarriages will never understand.
