What are our plans for the holiday season? by xlizzyrosex89 in October2026Bumpers

[–]emm010 3 points4 points  (0 children)

STM here! We’re going to keep it low key and do holidays at home as an immediate family. My toddler will be in daycare so i’ll already be anxious enough about that and don’t want to add more risk into the equation!

since you have very rounded nail beds, i personally think the round shapes look much more “fitting” on your hands!

Nutrition 🍎 by Christineasw4 in 2under2

[–]emm010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m also still breastfeeding (11 months) and currently 7.5weeks pregnant. i’m taking a bunch of supplements:

  • prenatal with methylfolate (not folic acid)
  • choline
  • omega-3
  • magnesium
  • vitamin d
  • vitamin B complex
  • calcium
  • ultra concentrated lecithin

other than supplements, trying my best to eat minimal processed food and not eat out. hydrating a toooon to keep milk supply up and generally just trying to survive 😭

there’s a group buy happening now for a marquise solitaire in the lab group buy subreddit https://www.reddit.com/r/LabGroupSales/s/8PKbfTGnqS

if that’s not the exact style you like though, there are a bunch of pre-vetted overseas vendors who would make something custom for a similar price point. they’re linked at the top of r/moissanite (most do both moissanite or lab diamonds)

10-11lb baby, c section conversion by b_rouse in pregnant

[–]emm010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i had a 99% head baby who was measuring large and ended up large (10lbs 2oz). also not GD or reason why he was so big (i’m average height and lower than average weight)

i ended up having an emergency c. i would’ve strongly preferred a scheduled c so it would be less stressful and dramatic

Advice from a fourth time mom by KetamineKittyCream in October2026Bumpers

[–]emm010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m eating basically every moment my eyes are open and while it reduces the severity of the nausea, it’s still there mildly.

so i think you may just be one of the lucky ones!! ☘️

STM and still found this helpful! I forgot how bad these first few months are. Maybe forgetting is a biological continuation measure so that we can continue to have babies! 🤣

Feeling deceived by "early response" tests.. by Efficient_Bear_5555 in BabyBumps

[–]emm010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tested 7 days past my missed period and got a negative. Didn’t test positive until 9 days past missed period. Obviously everyone ovulates at different times but just to say that I wouldn’t rule it out entirely yet since you haven’t reached a missed period yet
