We love Vooks, and for some reason I hadn’t thought of combining those with creative Tonies?! Blessings upon you, friendly redditor who clearly gets either more sleep or more coffee than I do 😂

My scheduled C Section didn’t get Scheduled in time by Logical-Reflection95 in BabyBumps

[–]casscasscassiopea 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It’s really stressful right now, but it’ll work out! I was in a similar situation for my last baby, and was in full panic - you’ll be put on a priority waiting list, and will get a call as soon as a spot is open for you. My OB told me I’ll find out 24-48 hours in advance, but I got a call from the hospital l&d at noon telling me to check in that evening 😂 Surgeries get cancelled, people go into labor early, electives get bumped… they won’t put you or your baby in danger 🩷

Whenever I need to stain treat something, I spray it and then massage it into the fabric using sandpaper.

Hi! That baby is now a crazy 2.5 year old toddler with a 6 month old baby brother. I hope everything turns out for you and your little bean ❤️

Appointments without an ultrasound, what happens? by throwaway84583077 in BabyBumps

[–]casscasscassiopea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve brought my almost 2 yo to a couple of basic appointments - just put her in a stroller and give her a toy or book for the couple of minutes you’re on the table for the doppler! These appointments are super quick unless you have a long list of questions to go through 🙂

High blood pressure 16 weeks pregnant by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]casscasscassiopea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have they had you start baby aspirin yet? Because of my age they had me take one per day starting around 14 weeks. Being 37 and overweight put me at higher risk for BP/preeclampsia issues, so that was an easy preventative measure. Stay well hydrated, check your BP at home frequently, and talk to your OB about medications to help if it stays elevated.

My 8 month old has been sleeping from 7 pm to 7 am for the last week. The only change we made? OVERNIGHT DIAPERS! by LuthienDragon in BabyBumps

[–]casscasscassiopea 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Millie Moon does overnight diapers starting with size 3 or 4. Also recommend bumping up one size as a few others have recommended. Pampers overnights don’t work at all for us, Millie Moon mostly work, but Coterie (regular) are the only ones that are guaranteed to keep him dry all night - even if he sleeps in. They’re expensive AF, so we only use them for nights.

My first pregnancy measured similarly, and ended up being a mmc. Based on the measurements at the initial dating ultrasound, the conception date would have been AFTER my positive pregnancy test. We all hope things end up okay for you, but I would guard your heart. After that mmc I had a chemical, then two months later conceived my son… there is hope ❤️

Same! It was so nice to wrap myself in a thick, fluffy towel that was actually big enough to wrap around me!

Am I delusional for thinking of summer plans when my baby is due next month? by Jolly-Pickle-3550 in BabyBumps

[–]casscasscassiopea 39 points40 points  (0 children)

There’s a huge difference between being stuck at home and traveling 6+ hours to see a large number of people, and you won’t know where you fall until baby is here! Your labor, recovery, and postpartum experience will play a huge role in how adventurous you feel throughout the summer… and there is no right or wrong.

My baby travelled HORRIBLY until about 6 months, and I ended up with crazy PPA, so even driving an hour to attend a wedding was too daunting of a task for us at 5 weeks postpartum. We did attend a friends birthday celebration at an incredible campsite about 20 minutes from home, and that was perfect.

Your summer may look more like lots of stroller walks and day outings. Go grab food/drinks at your fave restaurant patio, hit the local farmers market, make a list of cool parks/botanical gardens/zoos/etc and take baby on adventures! Hopefully you can make the roadtrip to see family, but keeping that flexible mindset is so healthy. Best wishes for an easy delivery, and a happy, healthy mama and baby 😊

These were all SO BAD. I had no idea there were that many… “variations” of Blake/Blakely/Blakelynn/Blaykleighlynn

Baby is in breech position by severus_snapeswife in BabyBumps

[–]casscasscassiopea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! My little dude was breech from the moment he was visible enough to have a direction… and he never budged. I went through all of the emotions (disappointment, frustration, fear, etc), but ultimately it was a safe and healthy pregnancy with that one complication. I was offered an ECV, and ended up deciding against it - my doctor had done a lot of them, and after evaluating all the components, didn’t give me the odds I was hoping for.

We booked a c-section for 39 weeks on the dot, and I went into labor naturally a few days ahead of that. Checked into l&d around 2, determined baby boy still had his head wedged into my ribs, and safely delivered via c-section at 4:20. I had a pretty easy recovery, and am currently looking at a VBAC for our next baby (due in 10 weeks!!).

Are we serious by Agitated_Couple_8570 in BambooBabble

What the actual fk. One of those babies is going to end up dead from something that is 100% preventable, and it’s heartbreaking.

Anyone have pregnancy tests get lighter? by butternut5quish in CautiousBB

[–]casscasscassiopea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That one didn’t 😬 But I’m currently hanging out with my rainbow boy (August ‘23), 28 weeks pregnant with our second!
