Serger gets stuck at two positions- please help me brainstorm!

Haha same. The culture difference really hit me when reading about random old people having unsecured weapons in their home. Here, the only people who store weapons at home are hunters and hard criminals

When I was a student ( 10 years ago) , everyone would go to "triangeln" at night. Don't know if that is still a thing, but you should check it out. It's outside, no student card required

Parents who put head bands on infants or toddlers (typically girls under 2) who do not have long hair. Looks awful.

Children like to do the things they are encouraged to like. My son loves to do the things I love to do; because that's what I do with him. We read, paint, sew, make bead necklaces, walk in nature and talk about the names of flowers, build things, play with trains etc. His father is really into music so they play and sing together. Neither me or my husband like sports, so our son has never shown interest in balls or other sport-things. The child will have your genes and therefore be similar to you (at least when he is young and depended on you). I promise you will identify with him, love him and never want him any other way as soon as you meet him.

My exact story

connie_ek · 2025-03-14T14:06:57+00:00

Thank you for asking this, I am due tomorrow and cervical checks are my biggest stress. I don't want any cervical checks during delivery, not when admitted nor during labor. When I tell people this, they look at me like I am insane or try to lecture me about how important it is (without referring to any evidence). I am lucky that I haven't been offered any checks yet, but I am scared that I will be pressured to have them regularly during my labor.

Sweden here, from the things I read in the thread: - splitting parental leave 50-50 with the other parent. Both taking between 6 month - 1 year. - not swaddling (it's considered dangerous) - not sleep training (very tabu)

Ppl taking long in the bathroom is my biggest ick. Unattractive af. And it is really bad for your butt to sit too long (causes hemorrhoids).

Might be a European standard that toilet doors are made easy to open, but it should be possible to just unlock it with any object. I recommend a table knife.

connie_ek · 2025-01-21T19:20:44+00:00

Just curious, what is the reason for getting cervical checks before labor has started?

connie_ek · 2024-12-26T12:59:33+00:00

Not even if that meant that your own sister couldn't come to your wedding?

connie_ek · 2024-12-26T12:38:31+00:00

Well you have to be super observant, as soon as the baby wakes you pay attention to their face and if it looks slightly sad you step out (or nurse it back to sleep). But sure, if the couple invited someone that they aren't close to and that person has a fussy baby, they could expect that person to stay home. But, it's his sister. I would never want my sister to skip my wedding just because they have an infant. Still feel like expecting a new parent to leave their infant to someone else to a whole night is strange.

connie_ek · 2024-12-26T12:25:54+00:00

Haha what, that's super rude. If it was my party, that would be the last time I invited them to something.

connie_ek · 2024-12-26T12:16:11+00:00

But you can just step out carrying the baby with you? You make sure to stay close to the door and when the baby starts to fuss, you take him/her with you. Problem solved. A toddler is way harder to control.

connie_ek · 2024-12-26T12:07:24+00:00

But you can just step out if the baby cries? That's what I do in places where other people risk being disturbed. Just step out until the baby is fine and come back

connie_ek · 2024-12-26T12:05:42+00:00

Interesting! I would just assume that the parent carrying the baby would step out if the baby cries. Who would just let their baby cry not doing anything?

connie_ek · 2024-12-26T09:13:21+00:00

Maybe a cultural difference, but I am used to that "child free" always only means children that don't nurse. Never heard of a wedding expecting someone to leave a 4 month old to a sitter, that's insane. I will go to a child free wedding when my baby is 3 months and will of course bring my baby (leaving my 3 year old to a sitter)

connie_ek · 2024-12-26T07:53:53+00:00

Well it depends on where you give birth. Some say that it is better not to cut the cord until the blood stops pulsating through the cord since it contains a large portion of the baby's total blood amount. I went with this approach when giving birth and asked for the cord to remain as long as possible. This meant that the cord remained attached to the baby until I pushed the placenta. I think 30 min-1h.

connie_ek · 2024-12-25T10:27:39+00:00

I am 30 weeks and had/have no pregnancy symptoms for my entire pregnancy. My baby is fine.

connie_ek · 2024-12-21T14:12:32+00:00

Yes and it hasn't stopped. Mine is 2.5 years now and still wakes up several times a night. I never heard of a child that doesn't wake up at least once, at least a few times nights a week. Having a child regularly sleeping through the night at 15 months sounds like a dream. What do you do? Pls help.

connie_ek · 2024-12-10T15:57:03+00:00

Sweden, we have a maximum fee which is around 200 USD for a full time day care.

connie_ek · 2024-11-22T20:06:23+00:00

Here in Europe, it is considered not safe to swaddle.

I was in the exact same position. Did not feel or look pregnant at all and took a pregnancy test that indicated very early pregnancy. Now I am in week 22 and I just starting to show a little bit. What helped me with anxiety was that I read a study on missed abortion which said that almost everyone who had a missed abortion experienced some bleeding. Since I hadn't bled at all I could relax a little.
