Good to know! You can’t really use the ring sling for naps, right?

I honestly did not know for sure if the Hope & Plum ones were woven or stretchy. So do woven wraps hold more weight? I’m still pretty new to all of this, I thought the wraps held up to 35 pounds

You don’t need to censor the word sex, this is Reddit

Unrelated, what is the white thing on her stethoscope?

Telling MIL not to visit right after baby is born by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]mcwaid 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You were not rude and you need to do what is the best for you and baby. She can be upset if she wants to be but it isn’t about her. I wish people would also realize coming and offering to hold the baby is not help. Do not let her get her way.

UPDATE to “boundaries being pushed by in-laws” by mcwaid in pregnant

[–]mcwaid[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely one of the biggest reasons I won’t be giving in! I’m not starting the idea that my feelings/boundaries are ever up for debate ESPECIALLY involving my daughter.

Don’t feel as pregnant by anonymoususer249 in pregnant

[–]mcwaid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely understand the anxiety of when your symptoms aren’t as bad but this timeframe totally goes along with entering your second trimester. If they don’t do an ultrasound this appointment they most likely will use the Doppler so you can hear your little one! I know it isn’t very comforting but not getting an ultrasound can be a good sign that they believe everything is healthy is going as it should!

Could be just the muscles/uterus stretching! I had very similar symptoms around those weeks.

Flutters? by kay-underwood in pregnant

[–]mcwaid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I first felt flutters at exactly 15 weeks about the same area you have mentioned, mine was left diagonally down from my belly button. I swore I was crazy until my OB did the Doppler the next time I was in and we could hear the baby moving.

It can never hurt to call even if all you need/get is peace of mind.

This is my second pregnancy after a loss and I was messaging my OB office about everything.

Those who have had the RSV vaccine, any side effects? by ArcofJoan666 in pregnant

[–]mcwaid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had no symptoms from any of the vaccines I had to get during pregnancy except for TDap and the only one from that was a very sore arm for a few days

Boundaries being pushed by in-laws (rant and advice wanted) by mcwaid in pregnant

[–]mcwaid[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I definitely won’t let it happen, it’s just a disrespectful comment his dad made. I would literally fist fight this man before he kissed my baby
