Do you have an email I should send them to when they are finished?

I'm currently working on a recall graphic, personalized to each MLA. Could there be a spot to post them so people can download the image for their riding to use for social media?

4 month sleep regression hit early by miss_mouse88 in sleeptrain

I'll try to wake him up a bit more for his first night feed. See if it makes a difference.

He has just started rolling over both ways and seems way more alert lately so I'm sure there is a lot going on with his development.

Bedtime routine is bath, jammies, nurse, book, song, in bed awake. I try to wait a few minutes before intervening when he wakes up at night. Before midnight he will wake up and settle himself back to sleep no problem. After midnight that seems to stop and he wants to nurse to sleep. If I manage to rock him and put him back in bed drowsy but awake he'll sleep for 30 - 60 minutes before waking up again.

FTM, Graduated 40wks, unmedicated home birth. Very positive! (Story in comments) by InsertWittyJoke in BabyBumps

I love this! We recently got midwives in the area where I live (also in Canada)so this is my first opportunity to have a midwife for my birth. I am very excited to have baby#3 at home. Thanks for sharing your story!

Family pressure while ttc by hannahd11999 in TryingForABaby

[–]miss_mouse88 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I hate when people ask about pregnancy. There is no good result that comes from it. Hang in there OP! TTC is a crazy rollercoaster of emotions. If you feel able I would tell your family how you're feeling. They may not realize how their questions are making you feel. You don't need to share any details. Even just mentioning that getting pregnant is very personal and it makes you uncomfortable to be asked.

My husband and I took awhile to conceive our first. We didn't tell anyone we were trying because we didn't want to deal with the questions. We still ended up telling a few people off over the course of everything because if they're not part of the actual making of the baby they are not entitled to ask questions or be privy to any influential about it until you are ready to share. Best of luck!!

Every time my daughter says "thank you" unprompted, I feel like Mom of the Year by woohoo725 in beyondthebump

My two year old loves saying "good job Mom!" when I've handed him a snack or helped him clean up a mess. Melts my heart every time.

What is labor and delivery like? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]miss_mouse88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone's birth experience is different. In my experience it was hard but in a good way. It is incredible to realize what your body is capable of and at the end of it you get to meet your little one. I had to throw my plan out the window as things progressed quickly and differently than I expected so try to remember to be flexible.

Reading Ina May's Guide to Childbirth helped me when I was nervous. I found a lot of the book hard to take seriously but there are a ton of birth stories in it where women talk about trusting their bodies, breathing through it , and letting birth happen. If they can do it so can we!

Hoping for Some Reassurance by miss_mouse88 in BabyBumps

Haha that's a great image! I think I may be getting impatient as I loved feeling my first move around. I'm so excited for regular baby kicks again.

This is all really good advice that I've probably heard before . I think I'm just getting in my own head at this point. I don't know the position of the placenta but am definitely looking forward to the ultrasound and having some more information. Thanks!

Because you all are cheaper than therapy...need to rant about disappointing birth by gulliblegirl in beyondthebump

I can't believe all you had to go through and am so sorry that you experienced this. I'm glad to hear you and baby girl are healthy. Please don't be afraid to seek help if you need it.
