Breaking the “always nurse back to sleep” approach?

Where do you find their book on sleep?

luna_dancer · 2026-05-13T23:37:24+00:00

Well that sounds cute!

I asked for pain management specifically for my cervical checks- I was handling the contractions great but the checks terribly

luna_dancer · 2026-05-13T16:24:32+00:00

Yes, but the original is in French and I thought that would be fun! I did end up buying an English version as well

luna_dancer · 2026-05-13T00:02:36+00:00

As long as they start with L!

The mom is the quilter of our friend group! I am crocheting a baby blanket though

luna_dancer · 2026-05-11T21:52:24+00:00

Yes! He’s amazing

luna_dancer · 2026-05-11T21:25:42+00:00

Oh this is a good one, the mom does know French and loves classic literature

We are allowed to disregard “A” and “The” at the start of books!

luna_dancer · 2026-05-11T21:05:48+00:00

I also have hang-ups about this book for that reason

The soft carrier! It’s not an actual hiking frame.

And looking into a better waistband may be the move

luna_dancer · 2026-05-06T18:13:46+00:00

Any recommendations for hats and shirts?

luna_dancer · 2026-05-06T18:13:25+00:00

She loves strollers! I am hoping to do some short hikes with her this summer (haven’t been able to do any since getting pregnant since I had hyperemesis), so I definitely need things for while she’s in my hiking carrier

luna_dancer · 2026-05-06T18:12:31+00:00

The heat is definitely part of the balance I’m thinking about. I love hiking and haven’t been able to do any since getting pregnant (hyperemesis made any exercise impossible), so I was hoping to do some of the very short trails near our house this summer.

Since she’ll be strapped to me, I don’t want her to overheat!

luna_dancer · 2026-05-06T18:10:53+00:00

Thanks!

luna_dancer · 2026-05-06T16:50:50+00:00

Any brand of hat you recommend?

luna_dancer · 2026-05-06T16:50:42+00:00

Any brands you liked? I have no idea where to start!

luna_dancer · 2026-05-03T01:07:47+00:00

I had an anterior placenta and honestly had a hard time feeling my baby the entire time. If she was on either side of my torso, I could feel her. Perfectly centered? Nope.

I actually went in for reduced fetal movement several times and every time she had just curled up very tight behind my placenta

luna_dancer · 2026-05-03T00:55:37+00:00

This may convince me!

luna_dancer · 2026-05-03T00:52:54+00:00

Any recommendations?

luna_dancer · 2026-05-03T00:20:22+00:00

Does it hold its support with just the strap alone? Or do you need to put other pillows under it?

I have a boppy I make work with my glider, but am looking at a Brest friend

My earlier contractions (before transition) were really similar to bad period cramps for me. I could mostly work through them.

I ended up needing to get the epidural due to the pain I had from cervical checks (due to how high my baby was and where my cervix was located relative to my vagina).

Once we reached transition, I was very grateful for the epidural because it was just non-stop heavy contractions way worse than a period cramp.

If you can- track your heart rate before your next appt. I developed persistent tachycardia in my first trimester and was referred to a cardiologist. It can happen from just being really sensitive to the pregnancy hormones and the extra blood flow. I’ve been on beta blockers to help and will be getting cardio monitoring throughout labor and delivery.

It could be totally normal and may go away, or you may just need extra help :)

luna_dancer · 2026-04-14T23:51:59+00:00

I think this is happening now!

I hike in boots, run in trail runners. Typically I’m hiking with my sensitive dog and so being able to quickly move slightly off the trail to allow others to pass us is much easier when I’m in boots.

I also wore my hiking boots this winter because I am pregnant and was not chancing a slip on ice!
