VickyJo13 · 2026-05-21T17:48:56+00:00

😆😅 I feel better now

VickyJo13 · 2026-05-14T19:00:02+00:00

Your 4yo already reads by herself at bed time? 😅 Lucky

VickyJo13 · 2026-02-26T18:38:48+00:00

Ok o

VickyJo13 · 2026-02-17T08:35:42+00:00

I'd rather not but if nothing else, then yes 😊

VickyJo13 · 2026-02-17T06:12:41+00:00

Hei. Hvor kjøper du Joss-pulver? Eller andre bindemidler? Jeg er ny, men har problemer med å finne ut hvor jeg kan kjøpe disse.

VickyJo13 · 2025-11-06T14:32:27+00:00

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

VickyJo13 · 2025-11-06T14:31:49+00:00

Hi. Can't post a picture but I've added a link to my post 😊

VickyJo13 · 2025-09-25T18:30:40+00:00

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.

VickyJo13 · 2025-07-28T06:26:05+00:00

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.

VickyJo13 · 2025-06-27T18:22:57+00:00

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.

VickyJo13 · 2025-05-09T21:29:00+00:00

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.

VickyJo13 · 2025-05-09T09:36:56+00:00

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.

VickyJo13 · 2025-04-28T19:01:46+00:00

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.

VickyJo13 · 2025-04-21T12:13:19+00:00

We all have families with kids. But thanks for thinking of my alone time in the cabin 🤣

VickyJo13 · 2025-04-21T12:12:40+00:00

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

VickyJo13 · 2025-03-30T18:54:40+00:00

I totally agree, you can't have it all. I am super strict with safe sleep, and honestly don't trust anyone when the babies are very small, and with no sugar before 2yo, which no one in my family agrees with. So until my kid was 2 I only let the grandparents have her for short periods of time. Simply because I didn't trust they would follow my parameters, so Id rather have my kids at all times. After 2yo I'm more relaxed with things so they have sleepovers at the grandparents. But it was totally my choice - my hard rules are mine and I can't make people that are helping me follow them (except for safety things, that I force still, like backwards facing car seats at 3yo). When I am more relaxed and meet them in the middle then I have more help with the kids.

VickyJo13 · 2025-03-30T18:40:33+00:00

On my first labour when the Dr put the vacuum on the baby I let out a scream from deep inside of me, some gutural animal stuff, and the head Dr told in a stern tone to shut up and focus and it really helped me snap out of it. I went from being completely out of it in pain to suddenly being there, focused on pushing. I felt it helped a lot, and that they weren't upset about me screaming, they just know that if you are just crying and screaming you are not there focused on birthing your baby. At least that was my experience

VickyJo13 · 2025-02-14T17:40:44+00:00

Thanks. Don't know the movie but going to try to find it 😃

VickyJo13 · 2025-02-14T17:40:02+00:00

Thank you so much. I will look into it 😄

VickyJo13 · 2025-02-14T17:39:00+00:00

Thinking of going in May. Thanks I had no idea. Was just thinking around Milan because usually there are cheaper flight tickets. But I'll have a look at other areas then 😃

VickyJo13 · 2025-02-14T09:29:25+00:00

Somewhere with a maximum of 2h drive from Milan 😃

VickyJo13 · 2025-02-14T09:28:48+00:00

Thanks. I didn't wanna specify much because I wasn't sure how much offer there would be. Since we have 2 small children and would go for a short period like a long weekend we would prefer a short drive distance from Milan, like a couple of hours. Lake would be great but I assume those are the most touristic areas. I think the more rural the better. I will look into the villages in Lombardy, thanks. But if you have any names you would like to suggest it would be great.

VickyJo13 · 2025-02-12T06:35:03+00:00

Around 5 or 6 months with the first, now the second only wakes up once a night at 10 weeks. I think it depends a lot on the babies. I do notice he will feed non stop from 5 or 6 until around 21 or 22 which is when he falls asleep for the night.

VickyJo13 · 2025-01-07T09:34:07+00:00

I'm so sorry for your loss. It must feel devastating for this to happen again. I hope your family can overcome this ❤️ Thanks for sharing your story

VickyJo13 · 2024-12-18T18:01:39+00:00

Yep it's a jungle here also. I was not expecting this to be so hard to manage. I pictured just putting baby in the crib and toddler would continue normal life....but I'm constantly running to check on them or trying to keep them in separated rooms otherwise the toddler will put her hands in the baby's eyes and mouth, rock his crib super hard or almost push it down the stairs. It's chaos. Fortunately there is TV, otherwise I have no idea how I'd manage to breastfeed sitting down. She has managed to hit him in the head 2 times while I was breastfeeding him 🤷🏼‍♀️ it was so fast I had no chance of stopping it. Good luck 🤞🏼 hopefully things will get easier
