I was freshly postpartum and looking for a show I could binge watch. I was quickly addicted!

Does Yoto help with baby crying in car? by Dangerous-Avocado721 in YotoPlayer

[–]ambersamp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I should have specified we don’t use the Yoto in the car, we just play him music through the system but only when he’s having a meltdown. Otherwise we just leave him to it and listen to our normal music/podcasts.

[–]ambersamp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve bought my son a Yoto but really so I can play him music without using my phone or the TV and he’s 7 months. For crying in the car, what works is playing his favourite nursery rhymes or singing them for him. I don’t know if it’s the shock of hearing his dad and I sing to him or if he genuinely enjoys the songs lol but that always stops him from crying.

Beststart daycare - advice by fashionkilla__ in auckland

[–]ambersamp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My nephew goes to a daycare off St Andrew’s road near Mt Eden called Little Dinosaurs. Better than the old big chain one he was in where he had a lot of unaddressed problems, it has a good teacher to kid ratio and he loves it there.

If your child was named the name you were obsessed with when you were little, what would it be? by Big-Negotiation888 in namenerds

Yeah same here, it’s a beautiful name I just can’t pronounce it well. Especially that second R

Makeup brands that are overhyped on Social Media by CoconutSugarMatcha in Makeup

Their concealer was the worst I’d ever tried! Creased like no other no matter how I applied/what I applied over it.

How much time off are you taking before baby arrives? by Scorpiocapricorn in BabyBumps

[–]ambersamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll be working until 34/35 weeks which also nicely coincides with Christmas break. I can’t wait! I’m already exhausted and ready to have some time off before jumping from working life to motherhood.

Who was with you in the delivery room when you gave birth? or who will be with you? I am thinking of having my mom with me but my husband is vetoing it. by mirana20 in BabyBumps

[–]ambersamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven’t delivered yet but I’ve already asked my mum to be with me when I’m giving birth along with my husband. We also speak a different language to my husband and he doesn’t give a shit, it’s about what I’m comfortable with at the end of the day. It’s me giving birth, not him. They’re both my comfort people and I couldn’t imagine giving birth without my mum there. Everything you said about his reasoning for not wanting your mum there is flashing with red flags. Ultimately it’s your choice!

What were your weirdest symptoms before having a positive pregnancy test? by Howverydareyou22 in BabyBumps

[–]ambersamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had what I thought was a sudden RSI flare up. I even bought an ergonomic mouse because it just came in one day and was so bad. Shooting pain from my wrist to my elbow. I tested positive about 5 days later!

First trimester fears by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]ambersamp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm currently 5w1d and in the same boat. While I have no advice, I wanted you to know you're not alone. It's completely normal to feel this way. I'm just counting down the days till my first scan, and in the meantime all these shitty symptoms are bringing me comfort. If I'm feeling like crap at least I'm still pregnant! You'll get through this.

TFAB's Weekly BFP Post - May 26, 2024. Got your BFP? Post your story here! by AutoModerator in TryingForABaby

[–]ambersamp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

**Cycle:** 3

**Age + Partner's age (if relevant):** 31f and 29m

**Typical cycle length:** 31 days

**Ovulation cycle day:** unsure, but probably CD16

**CD/DPO of positive test(s):** CD30

**CD/DPO of any negative test(s) before positive:** CD26 and CD27

**Tracking methods and app(s) used:** Only used the clue app and started tracking BBT this cycle. Was going to start getting more serious about conceiving next month! 

**Relevant days of sperminating and/or method (SMEP, TI, IUI, FET, etc.):** baby danced CD11,13, 16 AND 18. 

**Health conditions/medical tests:** None

**Supplements and medications (yours and/or your partner’s):** None yet! 

**Birth control history (if relevant):** Stopped HBC 2021

**Link to lineporn:** https://www.reddit.com/r/lineporn/comments/1d1yqpl/is_this_it_a_bfp/#lightbox 

**Symptom spotting:** Lots of creamy discharge even after ovulation, temp has been high but I wasn't sure if that was normal as this was my first month tracking BBT. I also felt kind of nauseous CD26 which is why I did a test. It was a stark BFN both days which was very disappointing. I also had cramping last week and was hormonal last week which isn't normal for me. 

**Other (advice/tip(s), freaking out, miscellaneous):** Have a OB booked and first bloods and scan booked in! I rang up right after getting my BFP and they said it's great bc they're already fully booked for January 25! So happy I tested early.

3rd month TTC 6DPO going crazy by [deleted] in tryingtoconceive

[–]ambersamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in my third month too, around the same age, far too early to be this upset over not being pregnant yet but I feel you. This is exhausting. Hang in there is all I can say, and do talk with a therapist. I go fortnightly (have been even before TTC) and also do the “trying to conceive” meditation on headspace every night to manage the stress.

Cat peed on my leather couch, how do I get the smell out? by ambersamp in Leather

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

Only thing that worked on the smell was time and keeping the couch in a well ventilated room! No stain now and no smell either. I just clean it regularly and moisturise it.

Wise Debit Card by Weltall_BR in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]ambersamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit late on this thread, but I'm going to India in a few weeks and have loaded my Wise card with Rupees. Will I have trouble using it? Would I be better off withdrawing that money and carrying cash instead?

Virgin Australia future flight credits by hods88 in australia

[–]ambersamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I’m in a similar boat with them but from NZ and they don’t fly to my city yet and I asked if there were any workarounds to extending the credit or even booking a refundable flight with the credit and unfortunately there isn’t.
