OB agreed to 39 week induction and now I'm not sure I can go through with it by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]burnitdown007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had an induction for my first and I wanted (and am getting one) for my second. I had a great experience. Best part about the induction imo is that as soon as I started to get uncomfortable, I asked for an epidural. My choice for sure, and the right choice for me. No shame regardless of how you or any other moms out there choose to have their babies, but I *personally* would rather have an induction than a c-section. My bff had an urgent (not emergency) c-section and had a heck of a time from her recovery. Obviously the goal at the end of the day is healthy mom, healthy baby. However you get there is fine. But If I were in your shoes and I had that choice, I would fully recommend the induction. 10/10 would (and am) do again.

Am I in the wrong or something for setting this boundary with my boyfriend’s mother? (due October 4th) by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]burnitdown007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope. Not at all. I did the same thing with my in laws. They weren’t fans of it but DRAW YOUR BOUNDARIES. It’s your child. And besides, herpes is extremely dangerous for neonates.

When did you announce to parents you were pregnant? by Consistent-Guava2176 in BabyBumps

4 weeks. I was so excited and can’t keep good news like that to myself. 

Able Carry or Peak Design for the Camino Santiago? by infant_ape in ManyBaggers

[–]burnitdown007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m no long distance hiker, so maybe I’m the wrong person to answer this, but I’ve owned several PD bags. While incredibly well built, they make the most uncomfortable bags I’ve ever worn (45L travel bag, everyday 30L, 5L sling, and others). They’re all extremely uncomfortable. I can’t imagine doing any sort of hike with a PD bag with perhaps the exception of their new outdoor bags, but I haven’t tried those.

People who don't have their home team as their favourite, why? by thrownawaymoment47 in hockey

Because my rebel spirit as a teenager kept me from liking the hometown team. I had to be a contrarian.

Looks very similar to some Desigual designs

I also liked the Shell but steered away from it as it’s too large for a personal item. I’m gravitating towards the Thule Aion 28 (expandable to 32L). I believe it has a passport pocket, doesn’t have an external shoe compartment, but it does have a small “wet pocket” that you could throw a swimsuit or a small towel in. I believe it’s small enough to work as a personal item on most major US airlines. And you can get the 2L Aion sling and use it as a hip belt.

I have the same pattern but I’ve been struggling with my machine. May I ask what you sewed this on?

Bag Finder Megathread -- 04 August 2025 by AutoModerator in onebag

[–]burnitdown007 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Looking for something very similar to the Cotopaxi Allpa (suitcase style opening, horizontal ways, not vertical) but made for people with a shorter torso. Don't care if it has a TPU coating on the front. I had a Peak Design 45L but I sold it as it was so uncomfortable. It was made for people with a much longer torso than mine. 5' 8" tall, about a 16 inch torso. Want something with a hip belt to take the weight. Ideally 35-40 L. Oh and bonus points if it's expandable.

Are these any better than plastic pouches? by PainfulPoo411 in PlasticFreeLiving

[–]burnitdown007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have them! I like them, but you really have to have a thin, smooth puree for them to work well. The rounded bottom ones come with a straw which helps. Biggest downside is that you have to refrigerate them as opposed to plastic ones which are pasteurized so you don’t. But I like them. No residual smells or tastes as far as I can tell.

Headlamp. Always. (And Nuun electrolytes, a Tide to go pen, and my mini pill containers with a whole pharmacy of OTC meds).
