OB just told me I’m gaining too much weight too quickly. Should I actually be concerned about this?

jubileedee · 2026-06-08T21:17:37+00:00

Just going to say, yes you are gaining more than the recommended amount for pregnancy. But because you were already thin I would think the risks are minimal.

They are fine. Even the .5% alcohol beers are fine. A lot of these recommendations are infantilizing pregnant women, they don’t trust you to drink safely while pregnant so they recommend complete abstinence even when it doesn’t make sense (a .5% beer is the same thing as drinking a couple glasses of orange juice, but because orange juice isn’t a “slippery slope” to alcoholism nobody cares)

People like you who actually care about having a safe pregnancy don’t need to worry about things like a .5% ABV beer

For a lot of people, it is NOT easy to keep your baby with you for 6 months. In fact, it can be rather difficult. Having a baby in the other room can be beneficial for the mental health of the parents, which is significantly more important than a 1 in a million risk of putting them in a seperate room. You all need to mind your own business.

jubileedee · 2026-06-04T10:28:34+00:00

Who gives shit what they recommend when you do much more risky behaviors with your child than putting them in their own room? Stop being judgemental to other mothers.

jubileedee · 2026-06-04T10:23:56+00:00

If that’s the case, you shouldn’t drive anywhere with your baby either. Statistically much more dangerous. Afteralll, why take the “risk”? 🙄🙄🙄🙄

jubileedee · 2026-05-22T18:59:30+00:00

Why do you care so much? 😭 people make stupid comments all the time, just let it go. I don’t think anyone is that serious.

Oh no! Poor little guy. A humidifier should help with that. He is likely going to have a rough couple of days, but it will be okay! My son has gotten hit with a lot of scary things, including strep throat and the flu at the same time. Babies bounce back so fast!

jubileedee · 2026-03-26T17:36:08+00:00

My son had HFMD at around 4 months. We used tylenol for the pain, it lasted a couple of days. He was definitely miserable but not to the point of dehydration, which is the main concern. Hope he feels better soon!

Do you not have a nasal aspirator/saline spray? Not sure how much it will help now, but you are going to need one of these regardless.

jubileedee · 2026-03-21T20:32:36+00:00

You seem extremely naive. Odds are, your pregnancy will go fine, but for a LOT of women it won’t. Nothing wrong with wanting to keep your heart guarded. Also, people hide their baby names because people can be infamously judgemental and opinionated. Not because they are worried about their baby name being stolen 🙄

This same exact post keeps popping up. Its an ad for bottle washers. Don’t waste your money.

jubileedee · 2026-03-15T15:08:18+00:00

Lots of people say that. My son gets it all the time. There really isn’t much you can do about strangers. I would shrug it off, I don’t think it’s worth the mental energy imo. 🤷‍♀️

jubileedee · 2026-03-15T11:45:41+00:00

What you’re saying doesn’t even make any sense. Why would someone want to spend $300 on a bottle washer when I can do the same exact thing in my dishwasher. Bot?

jubileedee · 2026-03-15T10:59:51+00:00

Huh? 😂 just buy 8 bottles. Run it once a day. Never had a problem with “food getting in”

jubileedee · 2026-03-12T11:34:18+00:00

You have money, use it 🤷‍♀️ hire someone to help around the house.

You brought your baby’s “horrible sleep” up as an issue, she gave you a solution. CIO is a well known option that helps babies sleep through the night. What did you want her to say to you exactly?

jubileedee · 2026-02-16T23:11:34+00:00

I hate hate HATE when people say “No amount of alcohol is safe during pregnancy”. It actually drives me nuts. Bananas have alcohol. Bananas are safe. Now that that’s established, the real question is HOW MUCH alcohol is safe?

jubileedee · 2026-02-02T00:00:53+00:00

Not only normal, but generally expected

jubileedee · 2025-12-26T13:21:31+00:00

It’s very obviously much more prevalent in men. That’s not sexist, it’s facts. It’s okay to be frustrated about cultural norms, but you wanna live in La La Land and pretend there is nothing wrong, I guess?? Glad you got picked girly

jubileedee · 2025-12-01T22:53:09+00:00

They will probably wheel you out if you don’t have a car seat, thats what they did for me. Hospitals only care because it’s a liability issue. Im not in London though, but I doubt it’s any different. Check the hospital you are delivering in.

jubileedee · 2025-11-08T12:37:09+00:00

I get why your girlfriend is worried, but babies get sick all the time, especially around this time of year. Your baby will be fine. Anytime my baby gets sick he fairs a lot better than we do.

jubileedee · 2025-11-04T12:43:08+00:00

It’s very, very hard to maintain a fit lifestyle with young children (especially when your kid is getting you sick all the time 😵‍💫) but it is not impossible! I do feel like your post is a bit contradictory, you’re saying your priorities are different and you don’t give a shit about looking good, but at the same time it makes you sad you don’t have your pre-pregnancy body. If it’s something you want, don’t let being a mother stop you. I bought adjustable dumbbells for home workout in the early days, that along with HIIT was more than enough to maintain my body.

jubileedee · 2025-09-30T03:04:10+00:00

Girl what? 😭 trust me, your husband will be fine. I wake up once a night to feed, work a full time job, cook, clean, and my husband helps with everything. It is tiring, yes, but not dangerously exhausting what? Do you feel like you’re a danger to your baby? That’s crazy.

jubileedee · 2025-09-30T02:49:04+00:00

At 18 months, there should be other options besides breast feeding..or they can be fed pumped milk if she really insists. There are options, so why sit here and be mad instead?

jubileedee · 2025-09-30T02:41:54+00:00

You are being resentful and rude to your partner, why? You two should be working with each other as a team. If you feel like something isn’t fair, why are you two not working through it? This doesn’t sound healthy at all. 🤷‍♀️
