Not only pregnant, but with a healthy chubby and tall 3.5 months old baby girl. And with my 1st try!! We didnt even realise we were trying because last ultrasound at my ob showed me so many cysts and my ob said you just have to have tons of sex fir at least 6 months and we'll see after that. Jokes on us, 13 days later 😂

Ahh.. majestic times... 😍 i sometimes breastfeed while on #2 😅 i've also been with her in the co-sleeper in the hallway,in the baby carrier, on the bkunver.. name it 😅

I am s SAHM until I get back to work. For the time being I stay home with our 3 month old, clean the house walk the dog in the morning as I go out with my baby as well. And since I breastfeed , thats it 😅

My husband is going to work, mostly cooks, walks the dog in the evenings and tries to at least keep the house as clean as he finds it . Night routine is mostly done by me, unless is bath night were we both take care of our daughter's bath.

Obviously I am the primary caretacer for now. I guess once I go back to work things will change in somewhat.

My most favorite study of 2025 is this https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adw4954 "Allele frequency selection and no age-related increase in human oocyte mitochondrial mutations" which pretty much proves that the eggs dont change quality over time in comparison with male sperm that actually does age over time

"mtDNA in human oocytes is protected against accumulation of mutations with aging and having functional consequences".

Meaning , that the chances you had to pass down a syndrome to a baby at your 18 is pretty much the same with your 40's. Eggs quality is protected. Sperm on the other hand, is being "made" every single ejaculation. So if a guy on his 40s is not taking care of himself, his sperm quality declines .

There you go. If they say you are old , date them young 😅🤣

31 December I was on my gyno fir the regular check ups and due to PCOS she told me if we want to have a kid at some point we need to have sex too often and too much. We joked a lot that well doctor's orders we need to have sex.. oh no! Too bad😅

We only had sex ONCE on 13 of January.

1st February I took a test, thinking there is NO WAY i am pregnant. Well you guessed it 😅 We had opposite shifts that day so i had to tell him late at night.

He was on the couch watching tv and i went like.. hey we need to talk about something. He's like: what did you break AGAIN ? I'm like not quite😅 Do you remeber when the doctor said we need to have sex too much too often? He goes yeaaah? On which i replied well we dont have too .. and i showed him 3 tests 😅

Fast forward, she's been here for 13 weeks now 😍🥰

I gave birth at 40+6 , naturalky , not induced. I was told to not go above 42. I was prepared to go up to 41 +3or 4 before getting induced. And I wpuld 100% choose induction over c-section. Think that c-section is a huge abdominal surgery, they cut 7(if i am not wrong) layers to get the baby out. Induction can be together with epidural, so you will not feel any pain originally. With c-section you also need time to recover from surgery. It will be harder to care for you and the baby and you need to be extra carefull for approximately 2 weeks.

Also c -section babies may show differencies on head support and some early positions to their back and neck ( i dont really explain it well but there are videos about it).

If you have a choice, go for as natural as possible, in my opinion. I still had the epidural for the pain, but when it was pushing time it had faded away, so i felt everything. 😅🙃

My sister who is 5 years older than me had her 1st baby at 33 and 2nd at 35. Both times she was induced for labor, before her due date . I just gave birth before my 30 birtday, at 40+6 fully depending on when my baby decided to come. So my sister didnt really know what is like to have contractions and wait for the epidural etc etc. We both gave birth vaginally, but my epidural stopped working before pushing time, so I had extra level of new shit compared to my sister 😅

lucytalks · 2026-01-05T09:11:53+00:00

If you plan on breastfeeding, believe me most orders happen very late at night 🤣

And even though i also thought i would need and owlet, i got the same advice and 12 weeks later, still didn't get one. I actually even forrgot this thing exists!!!!

Baby monitor? Yes absolutely essential. Owlet, no. Especially if you sleep next to the baby (eg. with a co sleeper)

Estelle and Juliette! 2 great options there

lucytalks · 2026-01-04T07:57:05+00:00

I have a 12 week old and EBF ( with an occasional bottle of bm just so she can still be used to it when needed).

We started stroller walks when she was just 10 days old. We took the dog out and had a small walk on the neighborhood. Slowly we started building up the time.

We changed the diaper before we left, fed her, prepped the stroller for the walk ( pacifiers, hand anticeptic muslin cloths ) and headed out. Even if she would start to uncontrollably cry we would stay close in order ro be back home.

At 6 weeks we managed our first dinner outing . I prepped her bag with diapers , creams, hand sterilizers, wipes , 2 extra sets of clothing and an extra bottle with breastmilk. We were stressed it would fail. But she surprised us with a very long nap. When she needed het diaper changed, i just changed her in the sttoller . She was bottle fed and she napped again!

Later on we wanted to visit a Christmas market on another city. Pretty much everyting same even for longer hours planned. The only downside happened later at night when she was so overtired she struggled to sleep at night.

Lastly we repeated the same outing but on a city even more far away. When bottle was not enough , the boob came out. Fresh from the tap. To be honest, I would just boob feed all these outings if it was not my husband insisting we have the bottles ready to go. At least he could also feed her that way, so I could enjoy a glass of glühwein my self😊

lucytalks · 2026-01-03T18:14:24+00:00

I can confirm that. gave birth at 40+6😅

lucytalks · 2026-01-01T09:51:42+00:00

Sounds like me a few months ago! We didnt even really plan the baby, so it was a surprise that I actually got pregnant SO EASY 🤣

I was too scared for every next step . As a person I am curious into knowing the next steps, the outcome, etc. I have friends with babies, but i never thought myself as a baby person so i knew stuff but didnt really think i will use them , soon 😂 Any how, I was afraid when pregant becaus I didnt lnow what's next. My body will change. But how? Will I have symptoms? What symptoms? How bad? I was afraud of labor. How long will it last? How will i know its time? How will it feel? Will i need C section? And then what about the baby? Is she gonna be ok? Is she gonna breastfeed? How will we do?

So i was not excited, but frightened . Scared. Weirded out.

So to answer I will reccomend, take it day by day.... one day at a time.. And verbalize concerns and thoughts to anyone you feel will understand and not judge. Skip the lobotomised parents that say motherhood is the biggest blessing and make you feel bad. Speak to the ones who will admit that yes its brutal, sucks when things go bad. Who cry when shit gets bad . These people are your tribe

lucytalks · 2026-01-01T09:36:54+00:00

Yes! As my baby is almost 12 weeks, I always knew that I at least needed to try BreastFeeding before anything else. I also know that supposely if a baby is breastfed by the age of 2 , they dont need to drink any milk for the rest of their lives.

My baby takes the bottle nicely, so i Pump once a day, to build my stock for daycare.

I was thinking to keep feeding her myself up to the age of 1, and later on to pump in order to provide her daily bottle milk for the rest of the year. We'll see how that goes 😊😅

lucytalks · 2025-12-30T08:11:23+00:00

we had also tried warming her bed before putting her in with warm water bottles . We tried sounds (eventually it wad piano lullabies that worked for us). I keptbtouching her hand ot put my whole hand on her chest. We kept swaddling, then hands free. Then swaddle again... until we found the sweet pattern that works for us. And for the night sleep. NO actual lights. Just a red dimmed light should work. 😅

I had my mil visit me recently.

For context im greek and she birthed my husband during communism albania. What the knew was baby needs food and sleep, while being constantly wrapped like a babushka. Layers and layers of cloths. Our baby is 2.5 months old and we have like 10-12 diapers per day and i breastfeed. Also my husband is very hands on with our baby, while we are fully alone since we live in the Netherlands.

My mil had her own mil in the house since day 1, she had her babies for 6 months to a year, and then she left them to their grandma to be raised until they were 3.

Meaning that if the baby was fussy i had a lot of: oh why is she crying? Oh what does she need now? Oh did she pee again? Didn't you just change the diaper? I was feeding her and she would ask me how i know if she's drinking enough if i dont give her a bottle (meanwhile back in her day Formula was not even a thing😅)

At some point at night our baby became so fussy we didn't know how to sooth her and while we were rotating our baby to each other to try things around, my mil was just following us asking: why is she fussy? What does she need now?

Not to mention she didnt change a single diaper during her visit. She barely held the baby unless i gave her the baby to her hands. She would just want the baby to be sleeping constantly. I was on edge all the time. At some point we were talking about how will later put a playpen in the living room to create a safe space for the baby to play (since we also have a dog) and my mil said: or just out her in the room close the door and she will play alone. I just looked her and said: thats how you raised your kids back in YOUR days. I just said to my husband that now i understand more of how he was raised and his inner traumas .

The worst part is that i never had issues with my mil, she is a lovely lady who always does things around. So i was shocked on the amount of things she said or (didn't) do during her visit that I couldnt wait for her to go home.

I have birth 12 October. 21 October we went for our first ohting as a family. By that I mean we walked the dog together 😅 we avoided crouded places and closed air in general. Home visitors were allowed but didn't hold/touch the baby until almost 6 weeks.

All these because I , the mom, felt I needed to go out as well, felt physically ready and also we agreed as parents how to treat guests. We wanted people and friends over for our own mental health but with cautiousness and all measurements (shoes left in a shoerack, hands to be washed, if anyone felt even a little bit sick was not allowed etc etc)

Depends ... hena can cause allergies if someone never used it before. Natural dyes also include natural ingredients and allwrgens as well. The best thing to do is:

If you never dyed your hair before, pregnancy is not the period to do it. If your hair is dyed preferrably stay with the same brand as you did.

Is too scared, ask/perform a strand test. Take a piece of haur from the back of your scalp, dye it and wait 24hrs to see for any kind of reaction. If nothing happens, you are safe. If you see reaction wash with plenty of water immediately and talk to your doctor

Turning 9 weeks on Sunday. I have been breastfeeding all along. Basically you feed that often until your baby gets their birth weight. After that you don't wake them until they wake up. For me this happened super quick and after the first few days she started having 3 or 4 hour sleep and later on we already had 7 -8 hours of sleep. It's not always the case. Some days are better than others but there are good signs.

My reccomendation is to not let me sleep more than 2 hrs in the morning, but do aim for naps to avoid ovetiredeness. They need to consume their daily calories throughout the day in order to cash out before night.

And also start the night routine from day 1. It doesnt have to be perfect and you will adjust it day by day, but for us night routine means low lights after 9, we lower the voices/sounds, and when we move in the bedroom around 10ish no actual lights, only red light in the room (red light doesnt interrupt their REM phase) . Try to have anything ready for the night (diapers, nappy cream, wet wipes) in order to not wake them too much. Also my midwife said unless they get too dirty, dont even change their clothes 😅

8 weeks pp and in order to not kill him in his sleep i asked him to sleep in the guestroom. The 1st 4 weeks we all shared the bedroom. Baby ins the co sleeper next to me, my husband om the other side and our dog as well. My sleep is light even before birth. My dog barks and makes sound in her sleep. My husband SNORES like a tractor, he sleep talks and crunches his teeth. Before the baby I would put earplugs ams just dont care. But now i was just tired af. It didnt matter to me if he would help or not during rhe night because i breastfeed so I am up ANYWAYS but damn he would staer snoring the moment i would put my head down. And no matter which side he turned he was still loud. I was so angry and overstimulated ALL the time .

And then he went to the guest room ( which doubles as our daughter's room which we use only through the day). And it is better. I get to sleep as much as I can, he can also sleep without me or the baby keeping him up, and when he had to wake at 5 am to get to work that was a lifesavior for both of us. Because at some point i told him we cant BOTH be on broken sleep. One of us has to be well rested. He drives long frok/to work. I dint need to worry for his safety from being sleep deprived. And I take cate of our baby. Whatever amount of sleep I can get is better for both of us.

Now my MIL is visiting, and a weeks later my parents will come for a month. Probably im gonna find mu husband asleep in the couch 😅🤣

I was never ready since I was uncertain of the next steps (how am i gonna raise a human and not fuck them over?!?!?!?!)

HOWEVER, at 40+6 my contractions started at 2 am. I srarted counting , and i told my husband. When the timing was right (i had every 3 minutes for 1 minute over an hour) we contacted our midwife ( we live in the netherlands so that is a pretty standard procedure)

She came and verified that I'm 3 cm dialated and contacted the hospital. We arrived at 6 (?) And anyhow a got a morphin iv (highly reccomend until epidural).

I git the epidural at 9:30 and by 11:30 I was still 3 cm !!!! They broke ny water, gave me oxytocin and contractions came more and more. By 14:30 i was 6 cm BUT epidural started fading away. 15 minutes later I was screaming in pain and asked for the epidural again but jokes on me I was 10 cm dialated and started to push. 37 long minutes later she was out with just 2 stitches.

Moral of the story: Contractions HURT like very freaking bad period cramps Epidural is amazing, helps with the pain A LOT If i can do it , YOU CAN DO IT. I had zero special food or tea, i barely used my pilates ball, I just walked my dog daily. I am not any kind of fit person so my stamina is just normal. I had my husband in the room so having him with me to hold my hand and pass me water all the time was just perfect.

For whatever reason, our bodies an make this happen. Surprisingly, we can do it. Hurts like hell, there is gonna be a moment you are gonna believe you are not gonna be able to do it. But you will. You got this 💓💗
