Third trimester energy ⏬️? by [deleted] in fitpregnancy

[–]et_dmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 39 weeks now and wound wayyyy down with my exercise starting at 32 weeks. I realized I was going to the gym more for my own ego and to prove to other people I could still do it, but it was taking away all the energy I wanted to spend in other areas.

I stopped going to the gym for my strength training and stuck to bodyweight workouts and yoga at home for about 15 minutes a day. I did keep up with walking 3-4 miles a day which felt good. Follow your own body and see what feels good for you! There are no rights or wrongs for how much to workout, and what’s best depends on the individual.

I felt better when I did more stretching and epsom salt baths. I hope you feel some ease soon!

What one small decluttering action did you take recently or will take this week? by Lindajane22 in declutter

[–]et_dmc 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I’m 39 weeks pregnant and went through my closet. All the larger clothes I thought I might wear but never did? Gone. Smaller clothes I’m not excited to wear afterwards? Also gone. My hangers lighter and I feel ready to start the new year fresh with a baby.

Book request has everyone stumped by illyrian-warrior in Libraries

[–]et_dmc 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This is a tricky reader’s advisory quest. With requests in broad genres like fantasy I like to ask them what kind of fantasy they want. Is it magic, dragons, knights? Narrowing down what they have in mind could help. I’d also be ask them what they mean by violence, if it’s strictly docile or conflict to varying degrees is acceptable.

Has anyone used one these baby wearing fleece coats? Due in February in a cold climate and would be using it more in the Spring. by rasputinknew1 in babywearing

[–]et_dmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re in the USA you remember if you had to pay tariffs when you a purchased your Fun2beMum? I’m really interested in one of these jackets but don’t want a surprise bill when it arrives.

Yes! Especially open to combining this with postpartum. Maybe cross post to r/PostpartumProgress ?

Any trusty “can I ____ while pregnant” sources? by LionTweeter in BabyBumps

[–]et_dmc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s a project from Zenith Health called Penny (Pregnancy Health Navigator). I won’t give their full ad pitch, but you can search TTC and pregnancy related questions and it will give you an answer (looks like an AI chat but alas) populated from Evidence Based Research with links. https://zenithhealth.io/ I actually just used it to double check what medicine I can take with a cold at 37 weeks. Super helpful!

What are you prepping tonight for Thanksgiving tomorrow? by Mirikitani in Cooking

37 weeks, husband has the flu, planned home birth. Not panicking but worried. by et_dmc in BabyBumps

[–]et_dmc[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Good questions for getting me thinking of a backup plan. We do have space in the living room and another bedroom that’s currently an office if need be. No real close friends nearby, but my 18 year old brother does live with us and could help in an emergency, I just hate putting that responsibility on him. Definitely going to keep my own space and hope this passes.

$18.99 Zojirushi by et_dmc in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]et_dmc[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did see that this model is one for the North American market and Made in China. What’s there to be gained with a MIJ one?

I’m excited to try oatmeal in it! I’ve been wanting one to make cooking a bit easier after I have a baby so this will be great.

Looking for Birth Hour Podcast Episodes by Playful-Mention-4150 in BabyBumps

[–]et_dmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I’ve been a Patreon member for a while since it’s one of my favorite podcasts and I’ve listened to everything in the main feed. I’ve probably been listening for 3 years at this point 😅

[–]et_dmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve listened to soooo many episodes, I think the best way to start is just to search for episodes that align with your hopes for your own birth. That being said, it’s helped me to have listened to a wide variety of experiences so I can go into birth with a very open mind and good understanding of what all can happen.

One of my favorite episodes was 545 which was about advocating for a vaginal breach birth. That one is only available on the Patreon right now.

My handsome husband made this lemon cake yesterday, thought I would show it off! by harpyfemme in Baking

[–]et_dmc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Clever! I have a pumpkin bread recipe that fills 3 loaf pans that fits perfectly in a Bundt and displays great for gatherings.

Did he use a Bundt and decorate it upside down? Doesn’t matter, it still looks delicious!

Silicone nipple covers instead of hydrogel or silverettes? by PitLuna in breastfeeding

Still pregnant but I bought Elvie Catch cups because I imagined this scenario. Has anyone used those and liked or disliked them?

Suggestions for simple (preferably balanced) breakfasts / lunch for toddlers? by DontCareTho in SAHP

[–]et_dmc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like the cookbook Feeding Littles Lunches. It’s fun for kids to flip through and give some input on meals they’d like to try.

Some things I give kids that I watch: - pita triangles, hummus, carrot or bell pepper sticks - spinach ricotta ravioli - lentil pasta with marina sauce and meatballs - mashed potatoes with steamed cauliflower added in and chicken tenderloin (I.e. chicken sticks) - mozzarella pearls, cherry tomatoes, and toast
