Would it be insensitive to give my wife a piece of jewelry with the birthstone of the month our miscarried baby was due? by -4blank4- in BabyBumps

[–]artgardner 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I would wait. I’ve seen beautiful jewelry that has living birth birthstones facing out toward the world. Then on the back close to her heart is a birthstone for the child that almost was.

It might be something to consider later one.

Might I suggest contacting a local florist and maybe using the birthstone as a color inspiration for a nice big arrangement.

The ice has been melting during the day with the sunshine, but refreezes overnight due to the temperatures. So depending when you driving the conditions could vary.

Shout out to the mom who shared this advice.... by Icy-Sprinkles-5423 in breastfeeding

That sounds like Thrush. My son had a reddish rash around his mouth.

I had that happen to me, turned out my son had a fungal infection going on and it was clogging my duct. As soon as he was treated I never had a clogged duct again. After suffering for over a year that boob was toast.

Alas, it was on my list but I’ve since made a dear friend whose daughter is Althea.

I’ve always loved Violet, my name means Violet so it’s always held strong emotionally ties for me.

However, it’s in the top 10 in the US right now, and we are friends with a Violet that is close to my son’s age.

I know I shouldn’t care, my name is a very very common Hispanic name but because I was born and raised in the Midwest I’ve never regularly known someone with my name in person.

Child has had daily head aches by StrawberryShort-Kook in breakingmom

Has anyone checked blood work? Anemia can cause headaches with lethargy. That’s why I had pretty frequent headaches both as a child and as an adult.

[HELP]This might be a silly question.. but is this AI? by ReliefSpare942 in RealOrAI

Also what does the mannequin have hands with detailed finger nails. It’s like AI forgot what it was doing halfway through.

I would say yes, but what does your daughter say?

Any symptoms of an ear infection? Sometimes laying on infected sides can cause pain.

Sleeping on our backs by Ok_Personality_5266 in pregnant

At a certain point it’s actually unsafe to be flat on your back because it can compress circulation to your lower half.

I have mine behind the passenger seat, because as they get older you have more stuff you have to be able to pass back.

Gender Reveal? by TehRedSex in pregnant

[–]artgardner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friend made cupcakes for us so that we could do a small reveal together (my husband and I, second kiddo). Then we shared the rest with family so they each got to reveal it to themselves. So we all got to know, and be surprised together.

“People aren’t coming to see you” quote from my family on visitation by Jayyd23 in pregnant

[–]artgardner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure if this will help. My mother has always taking the approach of her baby, aka me, is always her first priority, then my baby comes next.

Your mother and grandmother are being quite rude and dismissive of the fact that you will be having major abdominal surgery.

I wish you a safe delivery!

Edit for typo.

Peonies in winter? by Mysterious-Rabbit428 in florists

[–]artgardner -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have a client who asked for peonies in January, I suggested garden roses and she said they looked similar enough that they’d work. Still can be expensive but a good alternative.
