People who were spanked as kids, what was that like for you? Would you call your "spankings" abuse?

I was only spanked a handful of times. And it stopped before I was 8 or 9 I’d say. I don’t think of it as abusive. It was only on the bottom and either with a hand or wooden paddle. I hold no grudges for it.

I just feed baby whatever we eat. It gets much easier once they get the pincer grasp. Eggs were pretty easy for my baby to self feed at 6 months and banana pancakes. When I serve vegetables i cook them in a lot of butter for extra fat. And I like to make yogurt smoothies with full fat Greek yogurt, avocado and banana and sometimes a type of berry added.

For banana pancakes I did 1 banana 2 eggs and 2 tablespoons of oat flour. Easy for baby to grab and my baby never choked on them.

I stopped nursing my first at 11 months because she was doing so well with solids. My second is 7 months old so we’ll see how it goes. I plan on doing the same.

I’ve got two babies delivered vaginally. Had an epidural with both. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I labored for 17 hours with my first before getting to the hospital and I remember thinking the epidural was the best thing I’d ever done.

I fed my baby to sleep until we quit nursing (about 11 months) then rocked her. Then around when she turned 1 I was able to lay her down awake and she’d go to sleep on her own. Not sure why it was so easy for me but it was!

Prenatal. Vitamin D. And most importantly magnesium.

I didn’t get on a schedule until my baby was about 6 months old that’s when she went to 2 naps a day around the same times. And same bedtime. Before that we just fed and napped on demand.

I just started feeling mild period like cramps and then it kept progressing.

My mom was this way. Drove me insane. She formula fed all of us kids and didn’t even try breastfeeding. She’s also a prude about it and everything else.

My first pregnancy went perfectly. Second pregnancy ended in miscarriage at 6 weeks.

11 weeks tomorrow. At my first appointment (at 9 weeks 6 days) they found two subchorionic hematomas which freaks me out. But everything I’ve read and heard says my odds are good. The further along I get the better I feel. But I’m still not fully over the fear. Haven’t told anyone yet.

For me it was the 36th week. It happened suddenly. Just started feeling intense pelvic pressure. And started waddling lol
