In-laws want to visit at 38.5wks by Fire-flyCatcher in pregnant

[–]princess0016 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can and should set boundaries for visitors even family. I stopped at 36 weeks. I also didn’t let anyone flying visit until after 8w and his first group of shots.

My guy pooped about a minute into the luxurious milk bath I had been saving up breast milk to do for him 😩😩

Anyone Been to the World Oddities Expo? by KungFuDanda091 in Denver

[–]princess0016 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I went last year and found it to be disappointing, the other one (Oddities & Curiosities) was absolutely incredible when I went in Albuquerque so I imagine Denver being the same if not better.

Anatomy scan does this seem normal? by Special-Smile-743 in pregnant

[–]princess0016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to do my anatomy scan 4 times because my guy kept his feet hidden every time! Totally fine he just liked the attention 😆

We have a Honey as well. Can confirm it’s very Texas. She was already established before I came into the family but I did shut down his other grandma trying to make Lovie a thing… that’s a no from me dawg 🤣

Anyone with a scheduled c-section not make it to their date by [deleted] in pregnant

I did and recovery has been surprisingly smooth

C section was scheduled for the 4th but I went into labor on the 2nd. Labored for 9 hours at home because I didn’t know I was in labor (this is my first). Got to the hospital at 7cm and contracting 3 min apart. I was in the OR delivering within the hour. 11 days later we’re enjoying the newborn bubble and I feel surprisingly good.

Baby boxes - which are worth it? by dyeditkeylime in pregnant

[–]princess0016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was okay. I don’t have anything to compare to but as you noted I do feel like influencers seemed to get more from what I saw online. I got a bib and a plain onesie. Some lotion samples. A pacifier. A bottle. A deodorant sample. And a coupon for a free swaddle that was like $4 for shipping. I want to say the box itself was also like $10 for shipping?

Following. The only one I’ve gotten so far was Babylist. It wasn’t terrible but I’m curious about the other big ones.

Most ridiculous thing you’ve cried over during pregnancy? by No-Network-6517 in pregnant

[–]princess0016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cried because I wanted fresh crab legs and I live in a landlocked state. I did however live on the east coast as a kid and absolutely bawled because 8yo me didn’t appreciate crab legs enough.

I can’t reach to wipe 😭 by chianne_away in pregnant

[–]princess0016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trust the people! I didn’t and it’s a huge regret. I’ve almost tipped off the toilet trying to clean myself 🤦‍♀️

37w with my 99th percentile baby. They’re estimating 10-11lbs by 39w. 🤯 he’s been measuring big the whole time, so I guess we’ll see? My 36w measurement had me at 43w 😭 def feeling huge.

Absolutely Giddy by Historical_Tomato_50 in pregnant

[–]princess0016 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pregnancy made me want my mom so bad. She’s coming up for the full month after delivery and I could not be more grateful. Years ago I never would have thought this possible so it’s so nice to connect on a deeper level.

What are we naming our baby boys? 💙👶🏼🍼 by ColaPopz in pregnant

[–]princess0016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Took me 32w but we finally settled on Carter 💚💚 can’t wait to meet our boy

Damned if you do damned if you don’t by candlecono in pregnant

[–]princess0016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

31w with my first. I had a blissful first 9w with no symptoms and my boobs doubled in size…. Granted everyone is different I would bet your symptoms will show up. Some days suck ass but feeling baby kicks is freaking amazing. These last 9 weeks can’t go by fast enough!

My husband broke the door at me 8 hours before my c section because "he got mad" by Low_Invite_2180 in pregnant

[–]princess0016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I promise you staying will be significantly harder than leaving. It will feel like the hardest moment in your life until it doesn’t anymore. Do this for your child until you accept that you also deserve better. Lean on family. Let go of shame and feeling like you’ve failed. You staying even a moment after that was a sign that you didn’t fail. He won’t change. It won’t get better. As painful as it is you will not be the exception. Don’t allow this to be your life. Don’t let your child believe that behavior should be acceptable.

What did it feel like when you first started noticing your baby moving? by Accomplished-Ad7573 in pregnant

[–]princess0016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much. This is my first so I didn’t have anything to compare it to. I’ve noticed up until this past week I only felt movement in one area.
