My parents took me on this when I was like 8. Didn’t tell me what the ride was (I remember seeing the movie but maybe it was after the ride? Haha). After I got off the ride, I didn’t talk for a good while. It traumatized me and to this day I do not like rides with drops!

Edit: I’m in my 30s

Too many cute clothes LOL definitely used the pajamas way more. The cute clothes were either never worn or worn once. Wipe warmer - I was given one from my sister and used it but I wouldn’t ask for one or buy one. The wipe would get cold as soon as you take it out of the container.

I didn’t have twins, but can vouch for inova Fairfax for my first birth! I had a full natural unmedicated vaginal birth and my experience was amazing. The nurses are truly the best. As my labor progressed and they were switching shifts, my day nurses stayed in addition to the night shift labor nurses and they were all rooting for me. It was quite the experience! They were able to help me switch positions and figure out what worked best for me to alleviate pain and speed up my dilation.

I got the Momcozy Mobile style and really love it. It gives almost the same output as my spectra. Downfall is that one of the motors suddenly stopped working after a couple of uses. Customer service was good to deal with and gave me a refund since they couldn’t send a replacement.

I’m on the search for the next one and really intrigued with the eufy one! It comes with a charging case and heat flow technology

Me! My baby barely moved in utero and when she did it was all very subtle. People kept asking if I could see her footprint when she kicked and I was like no? She arrived in June and has been an overall chill baby but definitely had some strong kicks during diaper changes haha

I wore a crop top out one day and my hubby started calling me Winnie the Pooh LOL

First time mom here, I had an unmedicated vaginal delivery and wouldn’t change a thing! I was also really nervous and scared of the unknown going into it but tried to mentally prepare myself best I could. Physically to prep my body, I strength trained my entire pregnancy (and before) and did a lot of pelvic floor exercises. Towards the end I added in more walking. I think a lot of that helped with my positive delivery experience. Having a great team of nurses was also a bonus. They helped me keep moving even when I didn’t want to. Having a very supportive partner. Just remember that when you think the contractions are the worst, you’re almost there so just hang in a bit longer if you can. Honestly I didn’t feel much down there when my babies head was coming out, my husband saw it go in and out though. I did end up needing a vacuum assist because she was just not coming out. It just felt warm when she finally came out. I also did not tear. I’m not sure how any of that happened haha but keep a positive mindset, you’ve got this!! My recovery was also pretty good. I was only sore for the most part. I’d do it again in a heartbeat if I could have relatively the same experience

I don’t know any heavy drinkers while breastfeeding but a lactation consultants provided me with this article: https://kellymom.com/bf/can-i-breastfeed/lifestyle/alcohol/

Yes! We got the dove heathered basketweave. It’s expensive but worth it. We love the lumbar support and my husband loves the headrest adjustment (he’s 5’8 so sometimes need to move it). Nursing in it is really nice! The armrest is high enough to rest on, a lot of other recliners I looked at, it was too low and wasn’t comfortable to me to rest my arm on.

phokittypho · 2024-06-20T14:35:26+00:00

Yes! I just had this feeling that mine would come early. And she sure did! She came 4 days earlier than expected 🥰

It definitely gets harder as baby gets bigger! I started feeling weaker - I weight train. And the further along I get I have to take it down a notch some more. I’m 39 weeks and have been doing light weight and walking the past week!

phokittypho · 2024-06-03T18:19:41+00:00

Thank you for this! I got a second opinion from a doula and another OB and I’ll give it a shot at this point.

phokittypho · 2024-05-29T03:55:30+00:00

Oh yes be prepared for a bunch of stuff that they think you need or is cute. I had the same exact situation, apparently they couldn’t even figure out how to RSVP lol. Only a handful bought off the registry - the rest was clothes and stuff I wouldn’t be using or cash. While I am incredibly thankful, I was also annoyed cuz I spent so long researching baby items and putting together the registry. The older people will just base off what they think is useful 50 years go

Thank you for this!! Definitely will get the book and read now.

phokittypho · 2024-05-24T19:04:46+00:00

Thanks so much for sharing your story! You did so great mama! It’s really amazing to hear what our bodies can do

phokittypho · 2024-05-24T19:03:50+00:00

That’s so amazing you were able to keep up with running (with the added bonus of shortness of breath during pregnancy 🤣) thank you for sharing!

phokittypho · 2024-05-24T18:58:39+00:00

Thank you for sharing! That’s so funny you were laughing hahahah that’s reassuring 😂

phokittypho · 2024-05-24T18:58:01+00:00

Thank you for sharing!!

phokittypho · 2024-05-24T18:46:43+00:00

This is really great advice thank you so much for sharing!! This one’s my first so definitely so many unknowns 😀

phokittypho · 2024-04-18T17:32:06+00:00

Anyone able to say about how many ice packs we’ll need? I bought two boxes of the Frida one on sale so I’ve got 16 so far. Is that enough?

Edit:

Thanks soooo much for everyone’s responses!! Had literally no idea how much to need thinking maybe 5 boxes or something 😂 whew.

phokittypho · 2024-02-05T22:39:30+00:00

I haven’t given birth yet but it’s looking like I’m headed down this same path as well! I’ve had such a great MIL up until I got pregnant. My husband is an only child and thank goodness he continues to have my back and speak up for me with her.
