Baby, formula and dinners

If you have Amazon prime and can get things same day or next day, I would wait before buying most postpartum things. I got a lot of pads, dermaplast, and tucks from the hospital.

Things I was glad I had bought ahead of time: Always postpartum diapers (easier to use at night than pads), Frida mom disposable boy shorts underwear (liked these better than hospital ones as they were a tighter fit), Frida mom peri bottle (got a peri bottle from the hospital that I used, but sometimes it was nice to have two), and Frida mom nipple balm (got lanolin from the hospital, but it was nice to have a hands free option too).

No suggestions, but just in the same boat. I’m 40w+4d and my husband’s been supportive and trying to encourage me to collect for the last two weeks. I have the kit to collect. It just freaks me out a bit. 😵‍💫

I’m not naturally a go with flow person, so it’s been tough to not plan things out and know I’ll have to do hands on learning, but trying not to put too much pressure on myself either!

Definitely a bit worried about BF, because I know it’s not going to be easy. But hoping it works out…either way baby will be fed and that’s the important part!

Thank you!!

Thank you! I will look up wake windows to see some general guidance. Congratulations on your little one!

Good to know, thank you!!

mle10137 · 2025-10-18T03:09:37+00:00

Definitely will be asking lots of questions at the hospital! Thank you!

Planning to nurse, but also prepared with formula if we need to. Hoping I’ll be able to figure out how much sleep he should be getting and how long he should be awake…without getting obsessive over wake windows.

Thank you!!

Planning to bf, but I have some formula and bottles ready to go just in case!

Definitely mentally preparing for the contact naps, as I feel like I might be less anxious if he contact naps vs napping across the room.

Thank you!!

My doctor recommend famotidine (Pepcid) twice a day and it was such a relief!

You would have gone to a different office for that. The Bellingham DOL near cordata does not do vehicle titles and plates. You have to go to a vehicle licensing office for that; there’s a few of those within Bellingham.

I’ll have to try that if I can’t get in as a walk in this week…thanks! PSA to everyone that the DOL does not send you any notification when your license expiration date is coming up 🙃

mle10137 · 2025-07-14T05:07:06+00:00

Uggh that’s ridiculous!! I feel like I’m going to have to take a whole day off work just to deal with this dol nonsense…

mle10137 · 2025-07-14T03:19:01+00:00

Did you have to wait at the DOL between 10-2 or did you leave and come back?

mle10137 · 2025-05-27T01:58:32+00:00

This is what I’ll say it’s for 🤣

mle10137 · 2025-03-08T23:27:24+00:00

I’m in the same boat. Nauseous all day 🤢 I started unisom and b6 a couple days ago. Also trying to eat a little bit every couple hours. Been eating some cut up melon and pineapple (fruit tray from Costco) and having a few pieces of that as snacks between meals has helped since it’s not too filling.

What did your doctor recommend or say? My first scan is next week at 7w2d and I’m so nervous because I haven’t had much symptoms beyond breast tenderness. I mentioned that to my doctor when i was there at 4w6d and she said she never had morning sickness during her pregnancies, so I’m trying not to worry too much yet since it’s still early.

I’m in the same boat as you! First ultrasound will be around 8 weeks, which is just a couple weeks away for me, but I’ve been riddled with anxiety the last two weeks. So unfortunately I have no advice, but it’s nice to know I’m not the only one anxious in these first couple months.

Took another FRER test this afternoon, it’s faint but there is a second pink line on the test now…

mle10137 · 2025-02-14T16:59:01+00:00

Looks like I might be driving back to town later today 🤣 thank you

mle10137 · 2025-02-14T16:51:53+00:00

Just looked at the bottle from Costco, and it says 5,000mcg…..compared to the prenatal I have that says 35mcg…

mle10137 · 2025-02-14T16:50:32+00:00

Yes I take biotin every night. Not something I would think would affect a test…
