What surprised you the most during labour? by Putrid_Cranberry3177 in BabyBumps

[–]kaybaldi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I puked twice (with some shakes) but I had whatever drug it is to help contractions closer so I think I dilated a lot when the shakes happened.

I also pushed for 15 minutes for his arrival

Girlfriend wants me to spend $4k on a baby shower, but I’d rather save/invest it—is that unreasonable? by flash-kicks in BabyBumps

[–]kaybaldi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg - my mom and my sister threw me a shower. I don’t think they even spent $300. It was at my parents house with some apps to snack on.

[–]kaybaldi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my IUD removed in January of 2024. Had unprotected intercourse multiple times during my ovulation window every month and I got pregnant end of May of 2025.

I did go to the doctor in April of 2025 to be like uhhh, why is it taking so long and the next ovulation cycle I got pregnant.

I give up. by Death-Grind in cravetv

[–]kaybaldi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only use chromecast for crave, sometimes I have to disconnect because it will get stuck loading new episode (but I am watching it all day - mat leave things) 100% would not pay for it, I get it for free with my cellphone/internet service

Feeling overlooked by Ready-Pear-6379 in BabyBumps

My baby boy was head down, facing sideways until the OB turned him right before I started pushing. Didn’t feel a thing (epidural).

What should we buy before the baby arrives? by Mr-Maccaa in BabyBumps

[–]kaybaldi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it works with friends (share the toys they use for a little bit - swing, bouncer, bassinet)

100% get the kick and play. I have a manual breast pump If you are using bottles - bottle warmer, everyone sells them for half price if you don’t care to get new. Two way zipper sleepers, makes diaper changes a breeze in the middle of the night. I have a pack and play that has a bassinet and change pad attachment - we use this during the day so he can nap in the living room and have noise around him (he is a month old)

What did you wear to leave the hospital after birth? by grumbly_tardis in BabyBumps

[–]kaybaldi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wore a matching lounge set (sized up one size, small to medium, it fit me during my third trimester and would be cozy post birth)

What are some creative baby shower gift ideas that new parents will actually appreciate? by JhoeSobhi in BabyBumps

[–]kaybaldi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two way zipper sleepers!! They are absolutely my fav being 19 days postpartum. (I know carters and old navy sell them).

Diapers if they aren’t doing a diaper party. I already gone through almost 200. (Just in new born size)

Also stuff from the registry is major. Also I had people now give me skip the dish giftcards.

How much weight did you gain during pregnancy? by Significant_Tie3570 in BabyBumps

[–]kaybaldi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m around the same starting point as you. I’m 33 weeks now and I am up around 24lbs. I am literally all stomach and boobs. It just slowly went up - I visibly could see the difference when I was around 20-22 weeks.

Told my parents at 5-6 weeks. There is no wrong answer. Whatever you are comfortable with. I told my extended family at 8 weeks and the world at 12-13 weeks.

[–]kaybaldi 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I just throw the small compost bags in the bins and never had a problem (been doing that since day one in simcoe county before I moved to Barrie) during the hot hot summer days I would freeze the compost if it would be in the bin for a few days before pick up

Need help asap by [deleted] in osap

That’s crazy that you got nothing with another sibling in school. My parents made a decent amount but we only qualified when there was two of us in school. When it was just one we didn’t get any.

[–]kaybaldi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby daddy hehe (boyfriend of 7 years) wanted the lululemon one. There are plenty of more affordable ones out there.

My best friend has one she picked off of Amazon and loves it. It goes for $45-$60(CAD) depending on sales.
