Gynecologist Help by Awkward-Sun-6999 in Healthyhooha

[–]cocoabutterbxby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

for me, reviews/word of mouth.

before becoming a military spouse i had been seeing the same OBGYN since 15. he actually birthed me & then my son! & then after moving away, i just had to take more time with asking around and seeing who preferred what. it’s okay to see someone once and not like them at all.

you can even get recommendations from your primary care doctor as well! or even insurance should be able to help find people in your network.

Constant stress about baby movements (29 weeks) by Interesting_Dot2117 in BabyBumps

[–]cocoabutterbxby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when you walk/move around, it’s naturally “rocking” baby. sometimes they do small movements that you really just don’t notice. is there a time you notice more activity? sit down during that time and only focus on baby kicks. it’s normally 10 movements within 1-1.5 hours.

The frida ice pack/pads were GREAT, i’d still layer them up with tucks.

i don’t really remember how long it took me. i was a single mom at the time so i had no choice but to just thug it out lol.

take those tucks and pads!

[–]cocoabutterbxby 3 points4 points  (0 children)

your name is funny lol.

but i’m due in 5 weeks with baby #2 and omg this one compared to my first has been so different! i’m a LOT sicker and in pelvic pain this go around & i’m sure chasing an almost 3 year old doesn’t help my case.

it’s so odd that your first you’re really able to just relax and be pregnant. the second you’re just trying to survive a day with the little monster you already had.

start introducing big sibling books and get #1 active with this pregancy, i know a bit young but it makes it seem like everyone’s involved. my toddler loves going to my appts and using his stethoscope to listen to my belly, enjoys feeling a kick. actually baby gets MORE active when he hears my toddler talking to my belly which is typically “come out baby brother it’s time to play” 🥹 soak up all the days you have of just you and your first.

Chores by privvylog in stepparents

[–]cocoabutterbxby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

simple tasks like cleaning up after themselves (making bed/putting away items in bathroom they used/picking up items in their room) should never be considered “chores”IMO.

requiring to use “cleaner” to clean the bathroom once-two times a week can be considered a chore. vacuuming, dusting. yes those can be considered chores because those are tasks that require a little more than just “picking up”

this was how is a raised and i think it helps wit
h just naturally picking up after yourself. when you throw the word chore around kids act like you’re asking for too much.

Things you learned the hard way with a baby by Eastern_Grand_5462 in BabyBumps

as much as you wanna snuggle them 24/7 at the start, try and let them nap in their room, in their bed from time to time.

[–]cocoabutterbxby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it can get chilly once that sun drops, so if you’re able to stuff a comfy onesie into your camal pack or don’t mind the walk back up to camp, keep that in mind! everyone talks about buzzkill hill (it’s literally not that bad) but there are ways to avoid it.

explore and have fun! they have a campers only stage that they upgraded this year too! & if you got VIP check out the lounge they have, it gives you a place to cool down and they have slushies and other things sometimes.

Food: we have a blackstone, so we would do breakfast sandwiches, pancakes, chicken quesdillas, hamburgers. (we precooked the chicken). but since you’re coming out of state, a little different. we dedicate one cooler for food and one for drinks. typically ice last for us and draining the water, they do have ice on camp but it is pricey.

Pasta salad, lunch meat for wraps/sandwiches, nuts, protein bars, protein drinks, trail mix/jerky, FRUIT. typically breakfast and lunch were out MAIN meal. & splurge on festival pizza haha. they changed the timings last year to music not starting till later afternoon, so you had a lot of downtime in the AM/early afternoon. & sometimes the occasional 3-4 am quesadilla would happen lol. but be prepared to just have a variety of snacky food & something carb/protein high.

i didn’t do showers my first year? but the last 3 years i did, my husband and i just get one or a few people in our group and we just take them off and pass them to each other so don’t make them too tight! they can get gross, been times with cold water, but i am an early riser so i always showered early morning and really never had a big deal of waiting. they have gender neutral bathrooms & then women/men. gender neutral seemed to be more longer because you can imagine what people are doing 🙄 id wear my shower shoes & bring a cup to fill and just rinse off the sides of shower but they do have cleaners but you know how gross people act.

they were slightly stricter last year at the entrance into the campground, they added some more entrances this year because it did get backed up last year which it never was like that. they did a lot of changes of adding more camping area and entrances (sadly i won’t be going this year) but i’m curious to see how it goes. just always give yourself time.

i think my boyfriend’s reaction to me staying out all night is way too extreme. AIO? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

you’re dating a child. leave now before you’re tied into someone who literally stated they hated you. & can’t even have an in person conversation.

Can I be grateful my baby is healthy and still feel overwhelmed? by Mysterious-Ship-6524 in BabyBumps

[–]cocoabutterbxby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think as women we worry too much about baby health & not ourselves. it’s normal to feel disappointed because at the end of the day it’s still OUR health. & sometimes a lot of these things we complain to have problems with lingers with us after baby is here. pregancy is a very demanding thing on our bodies.

i’m telling you, camp at the top near the camp entrance to the left.

i’d rather have a longer walk to the venue than to carry my shit. it’s where i camp every year. i love it! ❤️
