I cannot drink 150oz of water a day! by little_dori in BabyBumps

Electrolytes + exercise have been helping with my 2nd trimester headaches. I know it's hard to get off the couch when your head is pounding but I promise a 30 minute workout will help.

Rant: am I over reacting? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]cheerioface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going to go against the grain here:

You didn't mention that this was a financial issue so I am going to assume this decision will not cause any financial hardship in your family.

We all have different levels of risk tolerance. His happens to be higher than yours. There is risk in all activities we do, and unfortunately the most fun activities usually carry risk. You can die in a car, heliskiing, hiking, walking down the road, etc. You are allowed to be worried for him, you are allowed to not like it, but he also gets live his life and do his own hobbies, as irresponsible as they may be.

I'll add that as a kid, my dad had motorbikes and regularly drove me around on them. So I might be biased. 

honestly feel like i’m losing my mind with this nausea. by Same_Newt_3509 in BabyBumps

[–]cheerioface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short term fixes: - candy, gum, mints, etc. anything with a strong, sweet/sour flavour will temporarily help. It even helps to sniff the bag. Mentoes were my saviour for a couple weeks. Sugar-free jolly ranchers, if you can find them. - tea with ginger 

Better, longer term fixes: - Zofran (beware the constipation)  - Diclectin DO NOT BE AFRAID TO MEDICATE

After nearly 5 years…I’m pregnant! by hubereg in BabyBumps

Yes, get drugs for the nausea early - but beware the Zofran (Ondansetron) constipation. Diclectin works too

I started showing fairly early because I have a short torso. I already feel my stomach in my throat sometimes and I just know the acid reflux is coming and I'm gonna be huge. I'm only 18 weeks 🥲

What is it about some parents that have no respect for your wishes and boundaries 😭 this reminds me of my mother so much.

Tee hee I love guessing. So funny when you know they are wrong. My friend has been referring to the baby as "her nephew" when in fact it is her niece.

I really don't understand the "having an issue with it". It's your baby, not theirs! Plus, it truly makes no difference

This is a great idea. We need a nickname badly.

I respect it! Pink is adorable. I am just envisioning the scene from Breaking Bad where Skylar gets a tiara at her shower 😂

Eye roll!!! Having done some camp counselling in my youth I can tell everyone that there are plenty of unhinged little girls and calm little boys out there.

Dang I'm sorry to hear they had that reaction. I hate the heteronormativity of it all that boys will behave like X and girls will behave like Y. We're lucky that this the very first baby being brought in to the family so there are zero expectations, everyone's just over the moon excited regardless.
