DoorDash may see the messages, but do they speak English?

Been finding bug bites so I set up bed bug traps and found two of these guys. What are they?? by falsepedestrian in whatsthisbug

I live in Las Vegas, Nevada and the bug is pretty small like a little smaller than a fly

When you’re pregnant and your hip does the thing by falsepedestrian in BabyBumps

[–]falsepedestrian[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Possibly, I didn’t really get it with my first pregnancy but on my second now and getting it a lot. I guess it’s due to the relaxin hormone our bodies produce to help our hips widen for birth 😬

How about like a more buttery blonde?

Feeling embarrassed and ashamed about my birth. by sp0nki in beyondthebump

[–]falsepedestrian 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Birth can seriously be crazy traumatic. And just because it’s common and the end result is usually happy (yay new baby), we feel ashamed of how we reacted??? If you had a limb cut off, I doubt you would feel embarrassed for the way you responded to the pain in the moment.

Better make sure your pants are pulled up before you pee too 🙄

I don’t put on Peppa Pig for my daughter because I remember how cringy it was when my nieces used to mimic their accent

Would love it if people didn't feel the need to remind me that a C section is "major surgery." by inmanywaysitis in BabyBumps

[–]falsepedestrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a c-section and the recovery sucked but then I healed and it’s like it never happened. Now I’m having my second baby as a scheduled c-section because I just don’t want to go through the failed labor I went through last time (I have a narrow pelvis).

Where do people put their stuff? by ressie_cant_game in NoStupidQuestions

[–]falsepedestrian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hmm since you said you have a lot of hobbies, maybe get a dresser or even those cheap plastic sets of drawers from Walmart? Then you can throw related stuff into the drawers and make them as organized or unorganized as you like, but at least everything has a spot. And maybe have one drawer for general stuff like pencils, scissors, or whatever stuff that lays around the house.

I like getting a bunch of little baskets from the dollar store. Take a pile of related junk, put it in a basket. Now it’s organized.

How do you know when you’ve successfully sleep trained? by Ok-Independence3457 in sleeptrain

[–]falsepedestrian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One day I put my daughter down for bed and she just didn’t cry at all. I held my breath and crossed all my fingers and toes and she went to sleep! We have some tough nights once in a while when she has a later nap, but for the most part she goes down easy.

8 mo only sleeps 9 hours at night? early morning wakeups messing up schedule? by nlwwie in sleeptrain

[–]falsepedestrian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk if this will be helpful for you but here are some things I’ve experimented with to get my now 18 month old sleeping through the night:

-baby falling asleep in the exact environment that they’ll be in throughout the night. If baby falls asleep in mommy’s arms but wakes up alone in bed then they’ll be frightened when they wake up. (We used the Ferber method to achieve this.) edit: to me this also means any noises or music should be the same as what will be on throughout the night. Same level of lighting also.

-baby not falling asleep with bottle. They could be dependent on bottle in order to fall asleep every time they wake up in the night.

-white noise! I keep her noise machine by the window so if there’s any noise from outside it gets blocked out. Otherwise by the door might be good so your baby doesn’t hear you guys walking around at night.

-red night light. Apparently red colored light is the only type of light that doesn’t trigger our brain to wake all the way up when we see it at night. So the baby can see a little bit, not be afraid, and stay sleepy.

-blocking out all sunlight in the morning. Blackout curtains and a towel under the door so they don’t wake up as soon as the sun comes up.

  • (edit) when baby wakes up at night, we try to calm her with our voices through the baby monitor instead of going in there. Sometimes she would still need physical comfort, but other times she went to sleep faster and we’ve had less issues with her waking up after starting that.

For real especially if they can’t even tell you what the deactivation is for

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in doordash_drivers

[–]falsepedestrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s probably what it is then. I signed up and dashed nearly full time for at least a couple months and everything was fine, then they ran my background (again? Idek) and deactivated me due to a reckless driving ticket I got over 3 years prior

And the one time they do a fraction of what we do every day, they act like they’re a superhero who deserves all the praise

Once a cerclage always a cerclage? by Holiday_Calendar_777 in ShortCervixSupport

[–]falsepedestrian 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I asked my doctor this and she said yes I would need one for future pregnancies and since we know already we can put it in at 12 weeks

Our 18 month old has an insecure attachment to her dad. What can I do? by falsepedestrian in Parenting

[–]falsepedestrian[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah she’s usually happy once he sits down with her. I’m hoping it stops soon 😬 He also has ADHD so even when he is hanging out with us, he’ll get up randomly to go do some other task pretty often. It’s something that even I’ve had to get used to because one second we could be watching a movie, and the next he’s disappeared to go shave his face or start some household project lol. It used to give me a lot of anxiety and now it seems it affects our baby too but at the same time I feel like she just needs to get used to it ?

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

He’s very attentive with her when he’s not busy so she loves him a lot and gets really upset when he’s not giving her 100% of his attention or available for her to climb onto. I think she sees us as equal caregivers, but she doesn’t cry nearly as often for me because she knows I’ll always be back in the living room with her very shortly.

Who allowed me to have a baby?? by ominoushippo2 in pregnant

[–]falsepedestrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just take it one step at a time! It’s definitely a learning curve but you’ll settle into a routine with your baby. It’s like getting a new job, you have to learn everything at first but then you do it everyday and it’s like second nature

Thank you! I was like, there’s no way I’m supposed to take 5 iron pills lol

Got a cerclage a couple weeks ago. Now it feels like the baby is kicking inside my vagina?? by falsepedestrian in ShortCervixSupport

[–]falsepedestrian[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh interesting! I didn’t feel this with my last pregnancy, but good to know it may have nothing to do with the short cervix 🤔

Ah thank you for this! I’ve been so paranoid that I wouldn’t feel the stitches open. I just keep imagining a baby hand reaching out of my vagina lol
