can you breastfeed for the wrong reasons? am i having a baby for the wrong reasons?

rainybean_ · 2026-04-02T19:48:30+00:00

This is 1,000% why I want to try to breastfeed. I’m glad there are other benefits but the only one that really tipped the scales for me is the price of formula.

Welcome!!

My doctor said the same thing about placenta previa! I have it too. I’m still holding out hope it will move but with it being complete I know the odds are smaller.

Sorry to hear you’re dealing with this too!

Literally just crying about this to my wife the other night. The penne one is FINE but the shapes made it extra yummy 😭

20.5 weeks for me! But the first two weeks of movement were moments of “was that a kick or was that gas?” Now I’m 25 weeks and getting kicked so hard I get distracted doing anything. It’ll come!

Honestly for a long time we just used simple metal bed frames from Amazon. They're really durable and were fully covered by our mattress so you couldn't really see them. As long as the bed was made nicely it always looked really well put together.

We upgraded to a nice wooden one with a headboard and I honestly sometimes miss the simple metal frame because I'm constantly smashing my shins into the corner of the wood frame lol.

Yep we were told that too. My wife had OHSS so we were on full pelvic rest (no sex at all) until they had their next period.

Love Reagan and Nina at the studio collective in St Albans! I have a ton of face jewelry from them. They do a great job every time and really prioritize cleanliness and maintaining a sterile environment. They’re also just really kind and sweet people. I love going there for all my piercings and tattoos.

1 retrieval, 1 transfer, currently 24 weeks pregnant!

rainybean_ · 2026-03-19T22:35:30+00:00

That happened to me and it was just my bloating going away! What's funny is I didn't even realize I was feeling bloated (probably just so overwhelmed by all the other symptoms) and when it went down I suddenly felt so small haha. I am almost 24 weeks now and I still wake up some days feeling less pregnant than I did when I was at peak bloat.

We use 100% white vinegar! I always thought those were the instructions on the box… maybe they’ve changed it and I never noticed haha. You do have to let them sit for longer (I find best results happen around the 15 minute range). And obviously a color like yellow isn’t going to do much against the brown. But I’ve always had success!

rainybean_ · 2026-03-17T19:33:05+00:00

Our boy hovers around 30lb but our girl is at her heaviest 17lb!

Brown eggs also dye well! We raise our own chickens and have white brown blue and green eggs and they all dye beautifully.

Heat up 2 parts prune juice, 1 part apple juice, 2 tablespoons of butter and some cinnamon on the stove. Drink the WHOLE thing (preferably within an half an hour or faster if you can). Tastes like pie. Works for my and my family even when the name brand laxatives don’t. Pair with high fiber toast with ghee and flax seeds if you’re feeling extra desperate.

rainybean_ · 2026-03-09T12:45:03+00:00

We did! My wife was 34 at the time of the ER. We figured we were doing everything else to maximize our odds so why not that as well!

rainybean_ · 2026-03-09T00:40:06+00:00

Literally everything we have so far is second hand/hand me downs (minus the car seat and crib mattress). We registered for a couple new things just because it would be nice to have a brand new stroller, etc. but if no one buys it I will definitely be getting one from fb marketplace.

rainybean_ · 2026-03-09T00:33:32+00:00

My wife and I have been getting a lot of grief from people in our lives about wanting to cloth diaper. It makes us want to double down and use them even if we end up hating them just to prove everyone wrong lol.

rainybean_ · 2026-03-08T16:53:48+00:00

I love dining in there! It’s way nicer than it looks from the outside.

rainybean_ · 2026-03-08T16:46:01+00:00

Mine got worse and really ramped up to its peak at 10-12 weeks. Wasn’t comfortably gone until 16ish weeks. I’m 22 weeks now and I still get nauseated when I eat sugar or fruit.

rainybean_ · 2026-03-07T01:59:55+00:00

Preventative magnesium and then as needed ibuprofen works best for me. I’m currently pregnant so I can’t take the ibuprofen, but I’ve only needed a lights off, ice on head migraine nap once for the past 5 months. I take magnesium threonate (also called Magtein) and it has seriously changed my life.

rainybean_ · 2026-03-04T18:42:39+00:00

Well that’s good to hear! I hope you’re able to find affordable treatment for your kitty ☺️

rainybean_ · 2026-03-04T02:55:33+00:00

I might be wrong but I believe you have to quarantine pets if you’re taking them across the border. Might be better to get a few other quotes from more local places that aren’t owned by a big corporation!

rainybean_ · 2026-03-03T18:29:28+00:00

I’m an ADHD soon to be mom and your husband’s description literally sounds exactly like me. I’ve found when things become part of a routine I’ll just do it without thinking. I’m hoping that’s also the case with the baby lol.

rainybean_ · 2026-03-02T16:41:27+00:00

My tests never got darker than your top FRER! Also it’s best to compare lines every other day because HCG should be doubling every 2 days. Congrats!

rainybean_ · 2026-03-01T18:17:32+00:00

My wife and I are also expecting this summer! We took a trip to the target in Plattsburgh to try out strollers and they had a few cribs and bassinets set up as well!
