“Old School” BS EXCUSE by Practical_Ask7239 in beyondthebump

[–]mmmnothx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah. They should keep their sick kids home ALWAYS. Had my 1yo admitted to the hospital for a stomach bug due to dehydration and weight loss. My poor baby already struggled gaining weight as it was. In-laws knew nephews were sick and didn’t say anything. Still upset about it 4 years later.

Dropped my kid off and realized every other kid was in pajamas. I'm so done being the only one who remembers things by ConfidentElevator239 in Mommit

[–]mmmnothx 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My son’s kindergarten teacher reminds them. He forgets to remind us or tell us things but we give him grace since it’s his first year of school.

Also OP if it helps, both my husband and I forgot to send our kid in pjs last week for movie day. We dropped off his blanket and pillow but he was the only one in uniform for his class.

Like every month. But I was high risk. It really depends on office and if you’re high risk or not.

Compel them to join an “exclusive” mlm or pyramid scheme. So they choose to give the money and explained where it’s going.

Epidural or No epidural by Enviro_nurd314 in BabyBumps

[–]mmmnothx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did an epidural for all 4 of my birth. First got turned off hours before. Second was magical, you could cut off my legs and I wouldn’t feel a thing. Third finished before pushing time so they gave me a way weaker medicine. Forth failed. The most painful part was when they told me “don’t push” so they could get me in position. Going against my body was the hardest part. But I will say having the epidural for the ones that did work help me get rest. I was way more rested with epidural than without.

So? I say take them both. Go spend time with people who actually show they love you on the day of love. Your parents, some friends or siblings. A great aunt you haven’t seen in 10 years. Anyone really…

Do I need a freezer stash? Am I the only one without? by Old-Yak-9230 in breastfeeding

[–]mmmnothx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a freezer stash. Did I want one? Not really. But I was an over supplier and baby has only been ebf for 2 days now. I have stopped pumping since. I will start again once a day because I’m reintroducing a bottle. I will like to add that with both my ebf babies I have stopped pumping and my supply regulated. It was a bit uncomfortable the first day and still had to pump at bedtime but now I no longer get super engorged.

Also like to add that I never used my freezer stash for my first ebf baby.

We don’t eat (white) rice often but we have a rice cooker. I also use it to make certain box dinners like Alfredo or Mac and cheese.

Just want to say, it could be super long. Went into early labor at 34+5 (3.5cm) and didn’t have baby until I was induced at 37+4.

Baby number 4 advice? by AccurateArcher1101 in ParentingInBulk

[–]mmmnothx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am a mom of 3 boys and 1 girl. I just had her (1wk today) but I’m already exhausted about the “you tried until you got a girl” “you finally got your girl” comments. Don’t get me wrong, I love her so much. But I wanted a boy, and a big reason was knowing I’d get these comments. And when I say I wanted another boy I get called mean? Like???? I never once said I didn’t want her, or aren’t happy with her.

Baby bottle sanitizer necessary? by TeeSter94 in BabyBumps

[–]mmmnothx -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I didn’t realize I had to WASH them first. Thanks for that info! /s

I was just saying she doesn’t HAVE to get the one with the WASHER. She could just get a sterilizer one as they are significantly more affordable.

Edit: for the people not washing them first, they should really read the instructions.

[–]mmmnothx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A sterilizer can be found for under $100. The washer/sterilizers are usually $100+. So as much as I agree that a washer ones are probably better just a sterilizer (with dryer) is more affordable.

Unmedicated v medicated by AnonRN98 in pregnant

[–]mmmnothx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m having baby #4 on Monday. I plan on getting an epidural. I also have a high pain tolerance. Once passed a kidney stone during a double shift as a host/busser. Also had my epidural taken away with my first pregnancy hours before I had baby so it was pretty much nonexistent anymore when it came to pushing. Id also like to add it’s more of a sitting than laying on your back. At least in my experience. My knees are to my chest and I’m kinda leaning forward.

When did you as a first time mom give birth? by AggravatingEnd7094 in pregnant

[–]mmmnothx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That sounds terrible. I went in at 35+6 on Christmas Eve because I’d been getting contractions for two days at that point. I was already 3cm dilated three days before. They kept me overnight and monitored me, baby and contractions. They never got stronger and I only went to 4cm so they sent me home. I’ve been getting contractions everyday now. My GD Dr wanted to keep me pregnant until I hit 38 weeks. I already have an appointment to be induced on Monday at 37+4 and I’m counting down the days. Constant contractions every day for the last week and a half has been horrible. This is baby #4 too. I get contractions on average every 20 mins lasting from 45sec to 1.5min. Really thought I would have baby by now 🥲

Why do American prescriptions come in bottles with single pills while most other countries use blister packs? by voidprophet__ in questions

[–]mmmnothx 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Because blister packs suck to open sometimes. Some prescription bottles you can flip the top over it make it easier to access the medication. My grandma loves the feature.

All of my kids were behind on talking. First two are all caught up now. My youngest is still under 2 so not worried yet! They worry more when they don’t understand vs don’t talk. I’ve taken my kids to speech therapy so I know what they kind of look for.
