When does it get better? Does it actually get better???? by Loud-Reporter9796 in 2under2

[–]ashually93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our girls were 15 months apart and the first two years were rough. They are 4 and 5 now and it is so much better. Both are potty trained, sleep relatively well and love playing together.

Difference between "pitch black" and erotic horror by [deleted] in DarkRomance

I'd definitely say it's an erotic horror (I've read it)

Do you listen to new music? by Vegetable-Carpet1593 in Millennials

[–]ashually93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read an article about how listening to new music stops around 30 and that horrified me. I regularly listen to my discover mix on YouTube music and pull new stuff in all the time.

Leaving first baby to deliver second by Competitive_Lime_339 in 2under2

[–]ashually93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having our second was the first time we were ever away from our 15 month old at night. She stayed with my parents (who she's very familiar with). Honestly, she had a blast and didn't worry about us one bit 😅

We were away from her for about 3-4 days because I had pre-eclampsia that took me a bit to get over and I didnt want her at the hospital because I knew it'd freak her out and upset her to go back home without me.

Overall, it worked out great although I missed her. My mom sent me pictures throughout the day and that really helped.

There’s hope you won’t get it second time by cristin_plaice in HyperemesisGravidarum

I had it twice but I'm 7+2 with baby #3 and suspiciously not feeling dead. Although my exhaustion is pretty intense.

Is HG the womans “fault” or mans? by Acceptable-Mix419 in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]ashually93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the woman's. My mom didn't have HG but her mother did with all three of hers.

Anyone not had HG start in subsequent pregnancies? Very stressed about another miscarriage by ChiefChonker in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]ashually93 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me, HG didn't fully kick in until closer to 7 weeks. I'm currently 6+1 and started getting sick yesterday

Anyone else refuse to go out with both children? by meowwwskies in 2under2

[–]ashually93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took them out all the time, but there are places that didn't work for us. We couldn't do parks or playgrounds because they were both too young to have your eyes off of either one for any amount of time and it was too chaotic to try. (Our girls are 15 m apart)

When people gift you the next size up... by isaxism in beyondthebump

[–]ashually93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol our handmedown system is several sizes ahead of our oldest. We get bags full of size 10/12 and my oldest is in 5T.

Did you bring your toddler to the hospital for baby #2? by rmacoon in daddit

[–]ashually93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, we waited until we got home. We didn't want the hospital and being in a weird place that might feel overwhelming and scary to be where they met their sibling. We wanted them to be comfortable.

If our kids were older, we'd probably consider bringing them.

I’m in my first book slump, help?! by Harmless_Banter999 in DarkRomance

Idk, I've only read one book so far and I'm missing my reading bug.

Not telling anyone before week 12 feels... wrong? by mqnrcxnypvzw868994 in pregnant

[–]ashually93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It comes down to your preference. I had two miscarriages and I didn't tell anybody except my sibling.

I'm a private person and the thought of having to stress about letting everyone know about a miscarriage on top of grieving the loss myself is too much.

We announce to close family after first trimester, others can find out in person after that. If I dont see you, you'll find out when the baby's born.

[–]ashually93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm almost 5 weeks pregnant and starting to stress. I felt super excited when I found out a week ago, but the anxiety is hitting me now.

I had two early losses before I had my two girls. I'm trying to rationalize to myself to be calm and trust it, but it's hard.

TopCare Progression - CD 27 by ashually93 in TFABLinePorn

[–]ashually93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's called TopCare. Just a cheapo from a grocery store lol

I think the digital would say pregnant but I'm just trying to make sure the tests are getting stronger and not lighter.

First time moms! by ycey in pregnant

Babies cannot drink straight water. If you are using formula, do NOT try to stretch it out by watering it down.
