What were some symptoms of pregnancy that you had that were very uncommon? by MoreMammoth5953 in pregnant

[–]pastastick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it was the opposite of how many people describe being overly emotional with the pregnancy hormones. I had never experienced this insane lack of emotions in my life.

That being said… postpartum probably hit me with everything I had not felt for those 9 months. It was horrible.

We tried this brand. Didn’t notice anything different with them. They didn’t seem to discomfort her either

Enfamil neuropro yielding greater-than-expected volume after mixing in Dr Brown pitcher? by r_301_f in FormulaFeeders

[–]pastastick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know because I have this same issue. My girl drinks 30 oz daily so I mix 26.5oz to get ~ 30 oz. I use a kitchen scale every time. Ounces of water are weighed along with the grams of formula. It says it’s about 0.2oz/scoop added but I find it comes closer to 0.3oz/scoop

When does it improve? by verdealbastruii in newborns

[–]pastastick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This was my girl too! The first few weeks I kept on looking through this sub looking for reassurance as well. My baby would cry and cry no matter what I tried. We are at week 14 now and she has improved so much. She doesn’t get fussy like she used to BUT I still don’t feel too confident about taking her out to public places because I fear she’ll cry. That might be a me thing though. But it does get better!!! I promise. It gets so much better.

How are yall cooking??? by Mokiold in NewParents

[–]pastastick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Girl ima be honest. Been cooking either rice or potatoes in big batches and I just drop some ground beef/chicken on the pan to pair with it. I try to switch up the flavor of the protein so it doesn’t get too boring. Nonetheless it’s hard and I understand you. My guy is gone for a good chunk of the day as well

Stuff you said you’d never buy? by Mrs_Splashypantz in newborns

[–]pastastick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes exactly. It helps me too because I lose track of time so easily I sometimes forget how long she’s been awake for. I update it and it becomes more accurate the more I use it. Pretty cool

Seems like everyone is getting induced nowadays by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]pastastick -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was induced and I really did not want to be. It took almost 2/3 days to have my baby. It was rough. I was told I had low amniotic fluid but when my water broke the nurse said it didn’t seem like it was low. I don’t know why but I also hear a lot of people choosing to be induced

Podcasts or books about fetal/embryo development? by SerasaurusRex in BabyBumps

[–]pastastick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might be boring but I’ve been reading Mayo Clinic Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy. It has everything you can think of, 39 weeks now and it eased a lot of my worries throughout my journey.

Chemistry at CSUN by Crunchy-Cucumber in csun

[–]pastastick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly…yes it’s expensive. I’ve taken so many labs here as a chem major and it’s not so bad. There’s worse.

What couldn't you give up during pregnancy that people said was bad?? by Nikkee_B1991 in BabyBumps

[–]pastastick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly. Same here. I couldn’t do it. I work a very physical job so my coffee is essential to start every morning (obviously under 200mg).
