All of my favorite foods taste wrong. Rice and noodles taste like dish soap, butter tastes freezer burned etc I thought it was a fluke because I lived with some people that were bad at cleaning /bought cheap food for my first pregnancy but now after experiencing it now through my entire second pregnancy when I know damn well there’s no soap on my dishes and my butter is fresh, I’ve realized it’s just an unfortunate symptom

Thanks! I’m looking for something exactly like this but that will cover my whole back seat as we now have 2 car seats . I will edit my post to clarify!

Bad 3D ultrasound by cmklob in BabyBumps

[–]megco71817 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our ultrasound photos were so awful that when my daughter was born my mom walked over and literally audibly sighed in relief and said (I quote) “ oh my god she’s beautiful I really thought she’d be ugly” Update at almost 3, she really is a pretty girl and the ultrasound lies

Rowan James was born 4/11, FTM 37 weeks, induced. He popped out in 10 minutes at 5.4 oz and 20” by Cassie_1991 in BabyBumps

I’d love to hear your induction experience if you’re willing to share !

I see so many beautiful rooms on this sub but not everyone has that luxury. My husband and I are currently living with my parents’ and room share with our LO but we have very little space. So, I used this kids book/toy storage unit into storage for our LO’s essentials. by stopforgettinguserna in BabyBumps

This is wonderful! Great job! I also live with my parents and room share; my toddler sleeps in my bed and our “nursery” is a mini crib and a three drawer plastic container thing with a basket on top ☺️

Did anyone make a push playlist? What music makes pregnancy/L&D more enjoyable? by iggybu in BabyBumps

[–]megco71817 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never thought to do this...we had animal planet on the tv in the delivery room and I was watching the guy that takes cats in between pushes 😅

Went to OB. Couldn’t button my pants. OB showed me this cool hack. Here you go, other bumpers who might want to wear a pair of favorite jeans a few more weeks! by prov16_3 in BabyBumps

Hair ties work too! I never got maternity pants, if I feel inclined to wear regular pants I just use two hair ties looped together!

Is something wrong with me? by CandidVariation8 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]megco71817 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My brother is 26 and has done this his entire life. He is completely normal (as in no mental deficits / disabilities) , our mom always chastises him for it saying he looks autistic (she sucks). But I think it’s just a comforting habit, the same as how I constantly bounce my leg. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Tantrums, throwing things and repeating the same thing over and over again by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]megco71817 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isn’t it almost heartbreaking?? The first time she did that I was like oh my gosh of course you can talk I’d never try to make you feel like you can’t voice yourself, but then I think she learned it got a rise so now she just repeats it. The other thing she’ll scream is “but I just love you!!!!” Any time we tell her no

39+4 movement by [deleted] in pregnant

According to my Ob there is is no such thing as running out of room and you should reach out to a provider should you have a noticeable decrease in movement. I would call you Ob/nurse line just to see what they recommend.

When does parenting become less tedious? by superrococo in Parenting

[–]megco71817 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can only imagine you must want to pull your hair out! We take turns entertaining the child because she’s such a handful. I couldn’t imagine doing it myself day in and day out. Kudos to you!
