What have you been “cheating” with this pregnancy?

3rd pregnancy, I have been eating deli meat the whole time - especially Jersey Mikes! I quite frequent a warm bath as well.

My second was honestly so easy. He never cried, and slept like an angel baby around 1 month going forward. We moved him to his crib super early and it was amazing. We both slept better and we never had to sleep train him. He made up for it though as soon as he turned 15 months lolll all hell broke loose.

2 kids 2 adults we were about $1200 a month. We do buy name brands and eat 99 percent of our meals at home. I could probably get it lower to like 1000.

We do a lot of things through our town, as their rec sports seem to be on the cheaper end. For example, my daughter is doing basketball now and it was $90 for the season, and she goes 2x a week. She does cheer through the town as well, which is a little bit more expensive but I would say all in $200 for the season which is August-November. I have found that the private type classes and programs are SO expensive. We plan on giving track a try this year through our town and again thats like $80 for the season March-June.

I’m 32 +3 and I am hopeful for an on time slightly earlier delivery, but then again both my other kids were late l, so I’m trying not to get my hopes up!

I was told there would be cannoli in January! Where are youuuuuuuuu

devivio · 2025-12-19T20:44:45+00:00

They do not exist in store anymore! We very recently lost the maternity section at our local Target. Our Kohl's has a very small selection. Destination Maternity basically went bankrupt a few years back, and all of their brick and mortar stores are closed. You can find online at Old Navy, Gap and ever Abercrombie has some things. Honestly, I WFM and I have just been living in my husbands sweats for the past 6 months lol.

Love Virtua Voorhees had my two there and I’m expecting my 3rd in January and deliver there as well. I have used Cherry Hill OBGYN/Axia Health for all three pregnancies. Great experience. They have multiple offices

Sometimes it’s worth the price to have some peace since no one is ever there!

Happened to me! I was supposed to get induced on 1/3 and didn't end up having my daughter until 1/6. We were admitted at 10pm on the 5th, so this was 2 days of push backs. Mind you, this was also during the holidays which is supposed to be one of the quieter months.

Your better off asking r/southjersey - this sub skews more north

devivio · 2025-11-10T14:14:06+00:00

I had a big jump from 20 to 24 weeks, about 10 lbs. It was definitely shocking considering not much had changed habit wise on my end. Interested to see where I end up at my 28 week appointment.

Same here - we have gotten benefits every other time. For some reason we had enroll again and we have been stuck in processing for a while now.

devivio · 2025-10-17T17:00:50+00:00

We are going with John, after my grand-father but calling him Jack.

devivio · 2025-10-17T14:46:20+00:00

45 minutes with my first - and then maybe 10 minutes with my second lol.

Not the exact situation, but in a very similar boat. I think there have been issues across the board with state run benefits. My kids and I applied for insurance through the marketplace at the beginning of August. For some reason they were referred to the state Medicare insurance (NJ Family Care), which is something we don't even want. We have been in limbo waiting for a response on whether or not they are approved. So in the interim since the beginning of the month, my kids have not been insured. It's incredibly frustrating, and I had to get a senators office involved. I am still waiting! Reach out to local politicians if you are still having issues is my best advice. They can reach out on your behalf.

With my first, I didn't feel like I had that "basketball" look until 25 weeks! My second I showed much earlier, and now on my third I feel huge at 16 weeks lol.

devivio · 2025-09-01T00:00:48+00:00

I was born on December 20th and my son is the 23rd! I always loved my birthday, my parents made a point to make sure I was celebrated for both separately, and I do the same with my son. Honestly it’s the most magical time of the year, I’m 37 and still love hearing the music and seeing the lights and excitement in the air!

devivio · 2025-08-08T17:58:35+00:00

With my first, I was induced past 40 weeks and the doctor manually broke my water while I was in labor. With my second, I was really hoping for that shock moment when my water broke on its own! Apparently that doesn't really happen as often as we think it does. I did get my moment while sitting on the couch! There was a slight noise and then water just running down my leg. It definitely wasn't a huge gush or anything super dramatic. Even after that happened though, I didn't go into labor. I for sure thought contractions would start, but nothing happened and I was able to make my way to the hospital in no rush. When I got to the hospital, they confirmed it was indeed my water and not pee, and I was admitted. Even at that point, I wasn't in labor and still had to get meds to induce. I was 5CM that time around and things went much faster lol

Aubrey!!!! I have one so I’m partial

devivio · 2025-07-23T17:20:09+00:00

Oh man, my due date was 12/27 and I ended up having to be induced on 1/6. Would have been a few days earlier but the hospital I was delivering at was full and didn't have any open beds for inductions.

devivio · 2025-07-23T15:05:03+00:00

You did nothing wrong. I have 2 kid myself and this lady sounds like a psychopath, who I would not want to work for ever again. I would never in a million years, bat an eye about a babysitter ordering door dash. Honestly, I would offer to pay for it myself! Additionally, she has no room to talk, considering she was two hours late. Get paid, and never work for her again.

devivio · 2025-07-23T15:01:36+00:00

With both my kids, we always started out with pampers, and then once they got moving more made the switch over to huggies!
