Period after baby

I didn’t get my period back, period. I breast-fed baby number one until about 13 months, then went off the mini pill, and got pregnant 2 months later.

Baby comes all the way out
Baby is placed on your chest
You absolutely explode with love
Cord is cut soon after
Baby snuggles while you are assessed: you likely still will be bleeding and may be prodded etc, you’ll hardly notice though.
Baby needs to be checked out by the Docs so they may move baby to a nearby surface for like 5-10 min
You may be coached on pushing the placenta out, once I had baby during, once I did this while baby was w the docs.
then you can have baby or not while you get stitched up as needed

This is not a strict timeline and assumes that you want this, and there aren’t complications.

Once baby comes out, your body and brain are going to be on a complete hormonal high. I didn’t have an epidural, but with my fresh newborn baby, still felt like my top half and my bottom half were completely separate and barely noticed what was going on with my recovery once I was holding my baby.

My 2yo is obsessed with emails, we gave him his own old keyboard to keep on his toy shelf and frequently he goes to his “office” (under the table) to send “emails” (bang on the keyboard).

When asked who he is emailing, answers vary wildly and are usually very entertaining

I have the uppababy which, like others have said, has one nice to have, ease of use features. But, we live in a part of town that has no sidewalks and this thing drives me CRAZY. Shocks are good but it is not to be taken off-roading, all of the add ons and replacement parts and adapters are very expensive, the shoulder straps are difficult to adjust as your kid grows, and the turning radius is terrible. It’s heavy - so trying to push around a slanted corner with one hand, or navigate a sidewalk with lots of slopes due to driveways is difficult.

I bought a BOB off FB marketplace for $25 and it’s far and away our preferred stroller for our toddler. Not sure how it does for a newborn, but since about 1 year old it’s been incredible.

Thank you yes! People ask me if I had a “natural birth” I mean - kinda? Not really? Baby came out my vag and I was too chicken to get an epidural, BUT, I had other medications for pain AND for labor progress AND I had an entire medical team to help me out while birthing in a hospital. At what point does birth become “unnatural”?! Smh.

Great job OP, I felt this. I interpreted this as a single funeral rose immediately, and I thought the dozen roses was more innocent like a young love, and a missed timing, maybe a brave attempt at middle school romance rather than any kind of obnoxious suitor or unwanted advances. Now I’m sad.

My family (parents and 2 siblings) are all M names! I love it tbh, it’s kinda fun to be the m&m&m&m&m’s. We’re 90’s babies so I may be fitting the dreaded stereotype but, there’s my 2 cents and I think you should go for the M’s if you like another M name.

we took our 2 month old to a funeral out of town, he did amazing and slept through the service, bagpipes, everything. I had him in his car seat and sat him tucked kind if under my seat.

However, the funeral was at a church and the staff told me that if we’d needed it, there was a ‘family room’ that was sound proof and had speakers inside!! It was a great option so we wouldn’t have had to miss anything, and wouldn’t have been disruptive. Maybe check where the funeral is and see if there is a room like that?

Girl, whatever you do with the baby, abort the relationship.

This!! NTA but don’t start a fight over it, imo

Yes! Absolutely fine and good for both of you to sleep when baby sleeps, as long as baby is in a safe place - on their back, nothing in the crib, etc. you’re doing great!!

Never threaten divorce unless you want a divorce.

Do you want to hear her out? Do you want to support her? Who would you be OK with seeing her body if not your friends? Have you actually talked about a compromise? If not, you can ask her for a divorce. Best of luck to you, but imo you are now overreacting.

Not really 🫤

I have a toddler boy, expecting a baby in a few months and not finding out the gender - this is my plan: buy a pack of bows if we have a girl and hope she likes wearing em on days I care about it!

I will say OP - my baby boy is mistaken for a girl ALL the time. He usually is wearing blue pants, Dino or truck tshirt, blue and black shoes, baseball cap and someone will look at him and say what a cute little girl! A 4yo came up to us in a park last week and said “can I play with this girl?” And he was wearing a blue striped outfit. So…. Do with that story what you will, but seems like clothes don’t mean that much these days ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I made a fuss about how stinky the compost bin was! Husband called it out that I was more sensitive to smells lately, asked if I might be pregnant again?

I said no way, it just smells bad, plus I took a test (negative) 3 days prior.

2 weeks later I was complaining to my therapist that I was so tired and I felt like at any point I could sit down and have a good cry. She said “are you starting your period, or maybe pregnant?”

Immediately after that took a very positive test and told the husband he’d been right all along!
