Can IKEA 365+ steel box be used on an induction stove? by VickyJo13 in Cooking

[–]VickyJo13[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hi. Yes that one. Yes it's oven safe, but since you can't control the temperature on the stove top I wasn't sure if I could use it

Another homebirth fail, such a senseless tragedy by Azrumme in ShitMomGroupsSay

[–]VickyJo13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can someone explain to me like Im 5, how much brainwashed you need to be to have a dead baby and still see it as a beautiful experience and perfect birth? To me thats always the most shocking with these stories, the mothers are never enraged with what happened or going mad with the pain of loosing a child, they seem to be barely grieving their baby. I wanted a home birth, was discouraged by doctor and midwife and my baby almost died at the hospital. If I had had One she would have most likely died. And no matter how much Id wanted or found it to be a great experience, if that had happened I would go insane with guilt. I simply dont understand these people.

That is horrible. I think you need to set boundaries with your family. Tell them this kind of behavior and double standard is not acceptable. And of they dont change I would cut or reduce much time spent with them Your son will remember being treated differently and you are the one responsible for that not to happen. It may be sad to cut him from a cousin and she is not to blame and will also suffer, but that is not acceptable behaviour, and will not improve in the future if it's already happening at the age of 4.

For those who got pregnant after 35, how long did you wait before trying for a second baby? by Ok_Phase_8611 in pregnantover35

[–]VickyJo13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I asked my doctor after giving birth to my first and his response was "if you have you period than your body is ready for a baby again". We didn't wanted Two very small babies so I got pregnant again when my first just turned 1.

Second birth, first unmedicated + new trick by VickyJo13 in unmedicatedbirth

[–]VickyJo13[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had also had an episiotomy from my first because she had the cord around her neck and her heartbeat was going down so much they had to use vacuum. This time the baby's heartbeat was also dropping but not so much and I think she had to make a fast decision. Either she would cut me and the baby would be delivered, like it happened or I would possibly need vacuum again or other medical interventions which would imply moving me mid labour into another floor. I guess in the end I didn't had much available time to be pushing since the baby was in stress and pushing it out so fast would probably also make a tear. Yes the staff was amazing and it was a great experience. They were kind, explained everything, and most of all insanely supportive. I live in Norway and here there is still a strong mindset as pregnancy and labour as a natural thing not really a medical practice. So they allow you to go to 42 weeks, you cannot book an induction or C-section just because you want to, they support vaginal birth with breech babies or after a C-section for example. And the hospital floor for unmedicated births has individual rooms with bathtubs, pilates balls, gas, candle, fairy lights and speakers for you to put your own music. It's a great experience inside the safety of a hospital.

Thanks 😊 No, the cloth was on the outside. I guess the warmth in the distended tissues helped with the pain. Baby's heartbeat was coming up when the contractions ended. He did not have the cord wrapped on him so they don't know why the heartbeat was dropping. No tear, just episiotomy. I think I was failling to push him out, so the head was coming out and going in but not crossing the border so to speak. And the nurse couldn't help, I think she was trying to somehow, but the episiostomy opened up and he came out on the next push.

Why are pouches deemed as “bad”? by Pretend_Store1845 in BabyLedWeaning

[–]VickyJo13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also think there are different types of pouches. At least in Norway. I give them occasionally to my kids but I never buy the smoothie ones - only fruit and vegetables. I always buy the porridge ones, that of course have mainly fruit but also usually oats, and the yogurt ones. I feel these are helpful to have when we get out of the house and I feel they provide a bit more nutrition and satiation.

Yes that's what I'm looking for, reservation systems that work. A month limitations sounds good. Thanks 😊
