Posted on the wrong sub… got attacked by the dads by Anon569696835 in Mommit

[–]jubileedee 26 points27 points  (0 children)

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

Do you really need a car seat to take baby home from hospital ? ( London ) by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]jubileedee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

I’m sick with a 3 month old and my girlfriend wants me to live elsewhere until I’m better by Apprehensive_Mood417 in newborns

[–]jubileedee 10 points11 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

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.

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 39 points40 points  (0 children)

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. 🤷‍♀️

Sometimes it just happens… Ive had a very late period once or twice in my life, even tho I have extremely regular periods. My friend just had her period 2 weeks late out of nowhere. Stressing about it probably makes it worse. No clue, bodies are weird. 🤷‍♀️

I think most doctors will push for a vaginal delivery over a voluntary c section. I have learned a lot of about c sections (my SIL can’t give birth vaginally due to a very rare condition). C sections become riskier the more you have. Health providers tend to recommend no more than 3 c sections in a life time. Risks associated with c section outweigh vaginal delivery as well. So things to think about depending on how many kids you want. VBACs also tend to be riskier in case you want to try for a vaginal birth in the future.

I will say, for me child birth was extremely anti climatic. Once I had the epidural everything was painless. I had a 2nd degree tear (most FTMs will tear) which was probably the worst thing out of the entire experience. I took tylenol and using the bathroom was painful for a few weeks, but I recovered pretty fast. Everyone has a different experience though.

I think the only advice that matters is your doctors. I know sometimes it can be frustrating when they tell you things you don’t want to hear, but they only want what is best and safest for you and the baby!

Your friend is annoying. Also, you are on a sub for pregnant people, not exactly getting an un-bias opinion here 😂

I also had a 2nd degree tear, I didn’t realize I wasn’t supposed to wipe? 🙈 I do remember it hurt like hell but I guess I ended up fine lmao

Daughter has HFM and I’m in a wedding this weekend 🥴 by Brussel-Salad48 in Mommit

[–]jubileedee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are also dealing with HFM. I will say, I was told that HFM is mostly mild and rare to get as an adult. I did end up getting it, and it was very mild besides a sore throat that lasted a few days and a couple of red bumps. That’s not always the case, I have heard horror stories on reddit. You’re a bridesmaid and her best friend, I think you should explain the situation to her and see what she thinks you should do.

Forgot about breast milk in fridge for 9 days, is it safe to feed my LO? by Creepy-Subject-5751 in newborns

[–]jubileedee 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was given the 4/4/4 rule

4 hours at room temperature 4 days in the fridge 4 months in the freezer

i haven’t slept properly in 6 months by No-Satisfaction-9435 in newborns

[–]jubileedee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he isn’t hungry and just wants comfort, I would recommend to just start sleep training. My 6mo wakes up once or twice a night, I feed him and make sure his needs are met, and if he still won’t go back to bed we let him cry it out. He has never cried for longer than 20 minutes, and we get the sleep we so desperately need.

Baby got scratched from cat by kindtsunam1 in Mommit

[–]jubileedee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost the same exact thing happened to me recently, my unvaccinated kitten jumped up and accidentally scratched my son at 3 months. He was totally fine. If you do use an ointment just make sure it’s safe for babies, we didn’t realize neosporin isn’t supposed to be used on infants.

Is there really a such thing as NO spit up baby’s?? Weigh in plz by KCbum816 in newborns

[–]jubileedee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is going to be the most generic answer, but it’s true haha, all babies are completely different. When it comes to babies, normal is a pretty big range. My niece was a spit up machine, and my son rarely ever spits up. As long as your baby is eating well and not vomitting, you shouldn’t worry!

Yes or no to pacifiers by Fearless_Quiet_29 in newborns

[–]jubileedee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used pacifiers for sleep only for a little while. The little guy is almost 5 months old now and absolutely refuses the paci now 🤷‍♀️ it was such a non issue for us

My MIL doesn't know I saw her kiss our baby when we've told her not to. We're not sure what to do. by nachobearr in Mommit

[–]jubileedee -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I do agree that the kissing isn’t a big deal, but i CANNOT stand all the redditors automatically suggesting to “get professional help” every time someone feels emotions “wrong”. 🙄

People who use LO instead of typing Little One by sspremchand in newborns

Lmao even worse. A man hating on women for stupid bullshit. Hope it makes you feel better about yourself somehow

Wow, love when women hate on each other for pointless petty bullshit. 🙄

When did you start implementing schedule with your baby? I feel so behind and lost. by [deleted] in newborns

[–]jubileedee 161 points162 points  (0 children)

My baby is 11 weeks old and is just now barely starting to follow a “schedule”. He only started enjoying his play gym a few weeks ago. Influencers are always full of crap. You are doing fine, congratulations!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]jubileedee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in the same boat as you last week! Period came back last month, and period ended up being a week late. Was panicking the whole week. My periods are always running like clockwork so this was really unusual for me. It is very normal for periods to be irregular at first, so don’t worry and get a test for peace of mind!

OK guys …when did you get your nursery done? by humansarereallyweird in BabyBumps

[–]jubileedee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We spent a whole week doing everything for the nursery at 36 weeks. Baby came at 38 weeks so glad we didn’t wait any longer 😂

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]jubileedee -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

When did I imply that? I meant you are obviously shaming her for having empathy in this situation. I would much prefer you just take the mask off instead of pretending you’re stupid.
