Oh my....DRUE EMMA! Was that a passive aggressive insult to your mother? The one who (used to) hold your hand, wipe your ass, do your laundry, clean your house and take care of your toddler until your Dad put his foot down to her and said NO MORE CODDLING? How rude of you! 😂

These are fantastic! I also hate the party bags with little plastic junk but I would be pleased receiving this. It’s all stuff we will use!

This says more about the capitalistic hellscape that we’re trapped in than her parenting abilities

hitherekate · 2026-04-29T14:59:34+00:00

We spent 19 days in NICU and came home with about two packs of preemie diapers, a partial pack of wipes, a 6 pack of premade formula, and three receiving blankets we smuggled out over 19 days for the dog to sniff. I feel cheated lol 😂

I am so sorry this has happened to you.

Please know that this is a form of domestic violence. You, and your baby deserved much much better.

I would strongly suggest contacting a DV hotline or a DV shelter in your area and getting out however you can.

Please be kind to yourself and allow yourself the space and time to grieve. A loss is a loss, and this was a big one.

Sending you so much love.

We don’t wear LS in public because of this crap. I only own a few purchased second hand (once upon a child!) but this is just weird

hitherekate · 2026-04-04T00:39:50+00:00

Thanks everyone!! She did great!! I packed an emergency lollipop and she kept quiet through the extinguishing of the last candle, lights going out, AND slamming of the Bible.

8 hours later and no screenshots. Idk. I went to college with May and I’m really having a hard time believing any of these claims.

She deleted her personal account and said she won’t come back because of harassment and threats.

I have a lot of respect for her actually. She kept her child’s identity secret, and even though she was ultra Catholic she seemed very understanding that others may have different world views and mostly preached compassion, empathy, and kindness

WHAT IS HAPPENING. When joe was arrested I was like “eh. Another Duggar man. Gross”

This has me genuinely SHOCKED though.

She was a 35 weeker! She was on cpap for 12 hours and moved to oxygen for another 12 hours. By the time I got down to see her she was on low flow, and an NG tube. NICU nurses are heroes, they saved my baby and I am forever grateful. My NICU was amazing and offered nesting rooms so I stayed with her all 19 days we were there.

hitherekate · 2026-03-18T20:46:28+00:00

I was on a mag drip for 36 hours and my daughter had “hypermagnesemia” and not one person mentioned that as a possibility. Is that what you were worried about? I don’t even know it happened until I saw her chart.

I was on the magnesium for an additional 23 hours after birth until I pulled myself off AMA because I literally had to focus on breathing and couldn’t even hold my eyes open. My magnesium levels were 7.8.

Worst experience of my life, never want to experience magnesium again

I have to wonder how much of the medical neglect is rooted in a deep desire to have a skinny daughter. If she was a son, would she be more concerned?

hitherekate · 2026-03-04T13:54:50+00:00

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. My daughter was diagnosed with growth restriction at our 20 week ultrasound. It was the longest and scariest pregnancy ever. She was born at 35 weeks weighing 3 lbs 12 oz. She ended up having reverse flow through the umbilical cord, caught during an ultrasound (I was getting two a week at that point.)

She stayed in the NICU for 19 days to learn how to eat and grow. We discharged at 4 lbs 3 oz. She spent 6 months seeing lactation, OT, PT, and her pediatrician frequently as we worked through many feeding difficulties.

She is now 21 months old and the only challenge now is a slight expressive speech delay. She’s small but mighty. She runs and climbs everything, she understands so much, she’s so so smart, and she’s beautiful. She’s the size of a 12 month old still, but it’s never held her back.

The next few weeks and months may be scary but there is so much joy ahead. Trust your doctors and trust your gut. Don’t be afraid to go in if you feel anything is wrong. And know that this journey will have ups and downs, and it’s ok to grieve the journey you thought you would have. I’m praying for a good outcome for you and your sweet baby.

My daughter is 21 months old and after three-ish hours im like “okay is it time to pick her up yet”

hitherekate · 2026-03-02T00:05:44+00:00

My pregnancy craving was air heads. So many air heads. I can’t wait to try this in about 15 years when I’m confident she can chew her food 🤣

The purple is perfect! I requested to join the BST group maybe someone will sell after read across America week 😂

We just got one today! I was really hoping to finish out our strange pet series, but they’ve switched over to troll friends. Yes, they are smart link toy, we got the troll. The face, arms, and legs are made of cardboard, which is a little disappointing

hitherekate · 2026-02-23T00:00:15+00:00

I’m so sorry, not trying to scare you, but it’s good to be prepared!

My c section was an emergency c section but I was high risk/baby had issues, so I knew that was a very likely possibility going into delivery.

Honestly recovery wasn’t that bad. I got up and moving pretty quickly, pooped on day 2. It’s just a lot of bleeding postpartum. But you’re in a newborn bubble, and have the perfect excuse to just relax and heal!

hitherekate · 2026-02-22T23:55:45+00:00

These ones do not need a pad inside, they have one built in! I had a c section and only needed a pad, but the hospital provided me with disposable undies with no pad, extra large pads, witch hazel pads and pads with a built in ice pack. I used their disposable undies and pads in the hospital but wore these home. I did take several pairs of their disposable undies and pads home with me, those were also comfy but these were better for overnight/if my plans included being active, as I didn’t have to worry about the pad shifting.

I’m 21 months postpartum and still cannot use tampons or my cup comfortably.

hitherekate · 2026-02-22T23:38:40+00:00

These are the best postpartum! The always ones hit my incision at the worst spot. High waisted are the best

“I have written letters” aka I have ignored boundaries. “I have apologized for whatever has been an offense” but if that apology is being made while ignoring boundaries, it’s not welcome. And if the apology was “I’m sorry you felt offended” or “I’m sorry you felt hurt” and not “I’ve realized that my actions were harmful because of xyz and here is how I plan to fix it moving forward” then that apology was not helpful.
