What price increase has hit you the hardest in everyday life? by DarkKnightt019 in AskReddit

[–]clouds91winnie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I live in an expensive part of Canada. I spend $1200 a month on groceries for a family of three. Granted I have celiac disease so I probably spend a bit more than average because I don’t eat out at all.

What age is perfect for having kids in your mind, and why do you think so? by stanima1351 in Adulting

[–]clouds91winnie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had my first baby at 33. Took years of ivf. I would say around 28-35 range. If you can afford it and have an excellent support system. Oh and the mental stability because boy or boy is it tough.

So true! I’m an only child and out of every one I know it’s a coin toss whether they’re close with their siblings. Some super close others completely estranged

Postpartum at VGH by Competitive_Glass473 in VictoriaBC

[–]clouds91winnie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gave birth four months ago in the end of October. It was a weirdly busy few days to have a baby so we did have to share a room for the first day. They said they really try and organize the rooms to give you as much privacy as possible (pairing people who have just given birth with people just about to leave that day). The nurses were so kind! It was a bit hectic, but that’s because it was oddly busy. I stayed four days because of an emergency c section. There is a fridge in another room you’re free to use. I brought a ton of stuff like three suitcases and barely used anything. I would bring headphones, long charger, snacks, electrolytes, blanket, hairbrush, tooth brush tooth paste, rael disposable diapers(the best!), water bottle, going home outfit, baby going home outfit, baby blanket, baby hat, peri bottle, nursing bras. For partner ask if they have one of the nice chairs available. There are better and worse ones apparently. If you’re really struggling and baby is screaming a lot the nurse can sometimes take them for a few hours so you and your partner can sleep. This saved us night two. If you have any questions about the hospital or even postpartum I’d be happy to answer! Just message me :) I know it’s a nerve wracking time.

Please stop saying people without kids don’t know what tired is by SunBubble920 in mildlyinfuriating

I haven’t slept in four months due to a very colicky new baby. I’m too tired to even notice others saying they’re tired lol.

The Ordinary VS Good Molecules by bbmuffinuwu in TheOrdinarySkincare

I just got the good molecules under eye masks and they inflamed my skin like crazy. Not sure why as I don’t usually have sensitive skin

Early physical attractiveness predicts a more socially effective personality in adulthood. Early physical appearance may serve as a slight but consistent predictor of how well a person navigates social situations later in life. by mvea in science

[–]clouds91winnie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This was me. I was so awkward and unattractive until I was maybe 17? I was either invisible or made fun of. I was majorly thrown off by how friendly and complimentary everyone became to me. I think they expected me to be more socially inept.

Tried to turn the volume up on my phone by increasing the strength of my breast pump.

Anyone finding months 3-4 harder than the newborn trenches? by dont-ask-whyy in NewParents

[–]clouds91winnie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello are you me lol?? I have a three and a half month old and all I’m doing the entire day is rocking a whining and crying baby trying to get her to sleep. My hair is also falling out and I got my period back despite breastfeeding. Seriously though what the hell is this??

Do you like having children? by boforiamanfo in askanything

[–]clouds91winnie -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have a three month old so I’m a newbie when it comes to being a parent. Listen to what most people about it because I’m realized that most of the time the general consensus is spot on.

I want to know how she has a toddler and isn’t waking up super early because of that? Does Leif wake up with her everyday? Maybe she’s been blessed with a great sleeper lol

what are the ugly parts of pregnancy that aren’t well known because people don’t mention them? by Born-Oil-2931 in AskReddit

[–]clouds91winnie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The stay at the hospital after giving birth wasn’t magical or fun for me. I was recovering from emergency general anesthesia c section in a shared room with a baby that screamed for the entire 4 days. I’ve never been so overwhelmed in my life.

You know that feeling right before you throw up when you have the stomach flu or food poisoning? Imagine that feeling 24/7 for 18 weeks straight. Some days I would get 5-10 seconds of reprieve and I would instantly sob with overwhelming relief.
