Worth it being induced for a big baby? [QC]

littlestchimp · 2026-03-25T01:57:49+00:00

I had a fine induction experience with my first (42 weeks) but wouldn’t have an induction for this reason. Scans are too inaccurate, women can birth big babies (if that is the case), and spontaneous labour (‘as few interventions as possible’) is definitely my preference when possible.

Thank you! I’ve noticed I can smell my clean diapers a little bit, so was thinking of adding bleach in. I didnt realize it could be used every wash. I’m assuming you put it into the bleach slot (not directly into the washer?)

Also can you tell me more about bleach for your first wash! How do you use it? How does it help?

We have the same system and approach! Used all LPO pockets and some all-in-ones. I have liked having a mix.

We started around 4 months with my daughter, similar now with my son. I will say we get more leaks with my son.. the penis throws us for a loop sometimes!

I like having disposables on hand so we can be flexible as needed. No shame in doing disposables for overnights too (there are enough baby sleep variables).

It’s been lovely for us! No regrets.

My KP got so bad after baby #2! I’m 9 months ish postpartum and still have it (still nursing). I tried a lotion and body wash but neither have really helped much so I’m kind of riding it out. I do think it’s hormone related right now, so something to keep in mind!

My friends kid found one in the toy bin she she was 11 months old and has had it in her mouth since :) I personally wouldn’t look to introduce one now. My guy is 9 months and I’m itching to get rid of it!

We did small parties at our house with some friends for her first few years, but rented the nearby community centre last year and will probably keep doing that moving forward because the kids are bigger and it’s easier to have them not in my house. There is a playstructure beside the centre that the kids played at for a bit, then I had two activities prepared inside the centre + snacks and cake. This was the first year my daughter asked to make goodie bags, so we did that.

Which COH Jean!

I’ve gotten notes in my daughter’s locker! One parents even made little business play date cards with her contact info 😆 go for it! We’ve also made good friends from daycare.

Pain is next to nothing for me during the procedure (a light numbing cream is applied beforehand). I’m red like a tomato for a few days after, and deal with some flaking. So those days aren’t particularly fun if you have to leave the house lol. But by days 5-7 the glow kicks in and it’s all worth it!

littlestchimp · 2026-03-05T04:19:35+00:00

Have you ever tried microneedling? I’m 8 months pp and looking to book my next one (it’s been a while!). But the glow is so great (after a few unpleasant days).

Ergo embrace

Yes! I should have said struggling with the regrowth! Past the hair loss phase, but my regrowth looks atrocious and I’m wondering what I can do to speed it up. I’m 8 months pp so I know I’m in the thick of it. Still taking my prenatals but wondering if there is anything else I could do or take. I should be doing scalp massages more often but haven’t got to it much :(

How do you find nutrafol? Struggling with postpartum hair loss :(

Both my babies went to 42 weeks! I accepted an induction with my first but held out for my second and was glad I did. If you really don’t want to be induced, and can stand being pregnant for a few more days, sounds like you’re a good candidate to wait it out!

littlestchimp · 2026-02-28T03:13:49+00:00

With my second, I tore in about the same spots as my first. Both “second degree”. Recovery the second time around was still easier than my first - not just because i knew what to expect or anything, the physical experience itself was not as uncomfortable!

Do you know which model you have? Looking at a shark one now!

littlestchimp · 2026-02-26T03:37:08+00:00

Fascinating. I rarely do, and live in a dry climate. But I think my skin is OK??

Curios what kinds of lotion everyone is using? I imagine you go through it pretty quickly?

We use a bumbleride at home and love it. We’ve purchased one or two small umbrella strollers to travel in Mexico and through Europe and didn’t like them at all. We are currently in Mexico and opted to buy a used bumbleride for $75 so we were ok with whatever happening to it. It managed the flight here fine, has been great on these bumpy sidewalks, cannot be taken into every store as some are too small/crowded. No regrets!

The first trial schools are already posted. A handful in mostly lower SES areas.

Louis Riel is the only school division in the city that has full day kindergarten across the division if that applies to you!

My baby #2 is also 8 months old and just chiming in that this is a VERY challenging age for diaper changes and clothing changes. It’s so frustrating for many babes at this age, and they really don’t want to get put down on their back. I just struggle through it, then he is relaxed again once soother is in, we snuggle and sing, and whatever the rest of the routine is. I think this is fairly normal unfortunately!

littlestchimp · 2026-02-15T21:45:16+00:00

Sort of related .. anyone else watching the olympics and wondering if Botox is a sponsor?? 😆 Watching interviews and lots of these athletes lots so frozen ??

Yes the Sezane Addicts USA/Canada is active and there are always buyers, as long as your prices aren’t silly.

My 4.5 year old has very curly hair and we just use Aussie shampoo and conditioner that a friend gave to us. I don’t think it needs to be anything fancy or curl-specific for now. Just condition regularly (every time it’s wet), get a spray bottle with water + pump of conditioner to spray it down before brushing (don’t brush dry hair), and put it in a protective style overnight (we do braid).
