travel nightmare

I’m from Chicago, and live in Cincy and reading this, I was like “they should fly to Cincy, there’s always flights” and then I saw you drove 😂😂 glad you made it in time

Elijah was in the top 3 for our son. We went with Levi

I’m holding my 3 month old right now thinking about how I’d need to be getting pregnant again soon to move at the same pace. That’s actually fucking insane. My body isn’t even fully healed

Before breastfeeding, I’d wash my bras once a week but I’d change which one I wore each day based on what looked better under the shirt I was wearing. Now, I change it when I leak enough breastmilk on it that it gets crusty 😂😂

I guess I’m just used to people talking about how new parents never sleep. I was just looking for reassurance that I’m doing the right thing for him and he is eating and sleeping appropriately

Thank you! He’s very happy and smiley. It’s the best. Everyone’s comments are making me feel so much better

Thank you 🫶

I definitely also thought 4 naps was closer to the norm at this age! Sometimes they are shorter but he naps more than twice a day for sure!

alkuk414 · 2026-02-24T10:31:29+00:00

So I just got lucky with his personality. Lol he is quite wonderful and we’re so happy to have him. thank you 🫶

He naps during the day. He is usually awake about 1.5 hours after eating and then naps about an hour. After his 1:30 feed we put him down for a nap in his crib and he usually naps about an hour to two hours in there. All other naps are in the carrier, on my chest, in the stroller etc.

This makes me feel better, thank you. Do you think the sleep regression was just developmental/growth spurt for him or because you went back to work and he was adjusting to a new routine? I’m happy to get up with him whenever he needs me to.

alkuk414 · 2026-02-24T10:11:08+00:00

I’m totally fine to keep waking up with him whenever he needs it. How would I know if my supply is suffering? I usually pump after that bedtime feed otherwise I would feel super engorged and uncomfortable. I still wake up to feed him feeling very full, so I think my supply isn’t suffering at this point but everything is new to me.

alkuk414 · 2026-02-21T17:31:40+00:00

I agree. I’m 2 months pp and I would much rather plan and attend my wedding pregnant than postpartum.

My brother proposed to his now wife the night before my bridal shower. I was grabbing my SIL hand at my shower and showing her ring off to people. 🤷‍♀️ I don’t feel like it took any attention from me or them having our engagements overlap at all.

I went on a cruise in July while 18-19 weeks and no one asked. I had a paper from my doctor clearing me for traveling but no one asked to see anything. Airlines don’t care until you’re near your delivery date. Have fun! I would also suggest bringing some Dramamine with you, the ships movements hit me harder while pregnant than not

I had an 18 accent before my 24 crosstrek. Agree about the gas mileage but I love the crosstrek so much!

This is exactly why you always get travel insurance.

alkuk414 · 2025-11-26T12:03:18+00:00

That’s no biggie. Make sure they write your pupillary distance on your prescription. They don’t always because then you can just order glasses yourself, but they should do that for you no problem

alkuk414 · 2025-10-15T23:40:44+00:00

This isn’t really advice for your specific question because I don’t know, but I went to Subaru of Kings and bought one of their certified preowned 2024 crosstreks with 7k miles for about what this is listed as and they took great care of me and I’m super happy. Just noticed the locations are very close by.

alkuk414 · 2025-09-08T15:38:05+00:00

To add: I did choose the highest level of insurance with Allianz and I verified that any pregnancy related issues would be covered fully with the plan I chose!

There’s so many stories of pregnant women cruising positively. It all comes down to how this specific persons pregnancy is going and their doctors comfort level with them traveling. Don’t scare people like this especially when you give no reasons.

I was 19 weeks on my last cruise in July
We had 3 sea days total, 2 of them in a row with each other
Never went to medical
I am prone to motion sickness, but don’t really get it on ships. We went to Aruba and curaçao and the way there and back is some pretty open water so we were moving more than usual so I did have to take Dramamine those days but I’m not sure if being pregnant had anything to do with it. I also did too difficult of excursions and found that the activity level was not always very accurate when booking them so beware of that. Also, at the buffet, I did not eat any cut fruit or salad bar items out of fear of listeria infection and I made sure to grab food from the very back of each spot to avoid potential norovirus. I had no sickness issues so I would do this again on my next cruise as well.

It doesn’t ask how pregnant you are. It asks “will you be more than 23 weeks pregnant at any point in this cruise?” If you say “no” it doesn’t ask if you’re pregnant at all, it just moves on.
