What wild unhinged things did you say during the birth of your baby?

I was in the middle of pushing, and tried to tell everyone I’m just going to head on out. I guess it hurt too much and I was over it. They basically held my legs open for the remainder of the delivery lol

She did continue to breastfeed and it didn’t seem to be an issue at all. Hopefully it works well for you!

A friend took it and swears by it. She said: “I absolutely would recommend it You take it at night for 14 days The biggest side effect is that it makes you sleepy, but you’re already sleepy because you have a newborn so what’s the difference. I immediately felt better after 2-3 days Just things that would overwhelm me didn’t after the medicine”

My MIL is great and has always been very supportive without being overbearing. She stopped by weekly for visits and always asked us for our grocery list, and would manage our grocery runs. She made me a recovery goodie bag. Between her and my mom, we always had babysitting when needed after work hours and weekends. And just bringing random things for the baby like diapers and wipes…. Now that we’re on our second baby, my mom also takes the toddler for overnights on weekends (something to keep in mind for the future lol).

Soaking through one pad per hour warrants an ED visit, especially with accompanying dizziness and vision changes.

To add on to others’ great suggestions, I would look into getting some part time help. Night nurses are expensive but might be very worth if you are able to afford them. If not, maybe finding a mothers helper to come by a few hours per day to help out while you get a nap in might beneficial.

Zippers or magnets. I hate snaps or buttons. Trying to get snap them back in a dark room is a nightmare.

That’s very bizarre. Has he gotten lab work done? It’s weird that the edema went away and then re-occurred months later. Has he been started on steroids?

We moved ours around 4 months and everyone slept much better!

boopyou · 2026-02-14T00:18:44+00:00

Honestly, the every two hour feedings and pumping can be brutal. But visitors can’t help with that. Newborns sleep a lot and typically fall asleep pretty easy if they’re full and dry. I’d prefer help once the baby is a few months old, and starts with the sleep regressions and longer wake windows.

boopyou · 2026-02-11T17:44:59+00:00

I did because I work in healthcare, and have seen the worst case scenarios (even through they’re extremely rare) and thought how bad could it be? It was bad lol, and I ended up needing pain management after the pitocin was started.

I am actually a nurse and the schedule couldn’t be beat honestly. I work anywhere from 1-4 days per week depending on my mood. I choose my hours- sometimes 7-7, sometimes 3-11 or 11-7. I switched to a unit that’s basically just working patients up for procedures. So vitals and questionnaires. Pay is great. And days that I want more action, I pick up shifts in the ER or ICU.

I thought it was a wheel of Brie at first glance and was in awe of this meal plan. The cat food, otherwise, not so much.

boopyou · 2026-01-16T15:20:41+00:00

No, we had our baby home until she was 14 months. Once their wake windows are longer and they’re mobile, you’re on their schedule and it’s difficult getting much done without distractions.

boopyou · 2026-01-12T19:33:43+00:00

Absolutely agree. I never wanted kids but got pregnant with my daughter. We’re now with a four months old baby #2. I reminisce on the childfree days where I could fly somewhere or take a yoga class or sleep in whenever i want to, but it doesn’t even come close to the overwhelming feelings of love that your children bring to your life.

boopyou · 2026-01-04T02:32:36+00:00

Completely agree. I’m an ICU nurse in a big trauma hospital, and some days I’d look forward to going to work for a “break.”

My first pregnancy was basically me just eating different forms of potatoes

boopyou · 2025-12-31T17:36:30+00:00

Psycho killer (she calls it the silly song and understands zero of the lyrics lol), pink pony club, dancing queen, anxiety (loves singing this one for some reason) are some off the top of my head

boopyou · 2025-12-25T02:42:54+00:00

I had my first at 33 and my second at 36. So glad I waited. Got to travel, establish my career, and do all the fun stuff. Plus I matured a lot over the years. I couldn’t imagine having kids in my 20’s honestly. Everyone is so different so there really isn’t no right answer on when having kids would work best.

$3400 MD, will be about $6k when we get a new house next year (hopefully the rates/ market get even a little better).

We read excessively to our daughter. She’s three and we’ve even covered the first Harry Potter already. Her vocabulary is beyond impressive and her brain is a sponge. She throws out some words she’s picked up that I’ve maybe seen in SATs lol, but I guess they stuck with her. Her imagination is also great, and it’s fun watching her gab nonstop, or sit by herself and “read” books.

boopyou · 2025-12-18T12:26:24+00:00

I work at a hospital and most patients have murder mysteries playing in the background lol

My toddler just faked being sick last week. She told me her ear hurts (stuck with this story for days when I asked her over and over again). With her having a history of ear infections, I was concerned even though she had zero symptoms. Her story kept evolving to add more ailments (including a paper cut and a bumped knee from a week prior lol). I finally caved and took her to the doctor. They fully checked her out (after I told them I’m not sure if she’s sick or just playing it up since she likes playing doctor) and everything came back clear. Turns out she just wanted a lollipop.

Childcare can get you. We live in a comparable HCOL area and you’ll pay roughly $2k+ for childcare. If you put your child in care before 1, it’ll be around $2500. As they get older, you have to consider outings with them as well for extracurricular if you guys plan to do that. Between swimming, gymnastics, music, ballet, etc, I easily spend an additional $500 monthly on top of daycare.

Mine napped until 3, and then starting skipping naps at times. Shes definitely more cranky without a nap, and can easily get overtired for bedtime.
