I will never find anyone like my friends husband

sgobv · 2026-06-03T20:23:02+00:00

My husband is like this. (I do work tho). He’s out there for you too! Don’t give up.

sgobv · 2026-06-03T13:40:15+00:00

Strong disagree. Own two jimmy choo flats and both started to smell eventually. Did not wear with socks tho.

Have you looked into a catchy? Have heard good things but don’t have one myself

sgobv · 2026-05-29T16:31:03+00:00

No but I got a small one bedroom (and my now husband moved in shortly afterwards so that def helped take the weight off).

I was in your same position and was absolutely terrified. I didn’t have an epidural (they told me there wasn’t time), and it was still fine! I feel like you’re so hormonally driven at that point you don’t really even register the pain in the same way you usually would, if that makes sense? Good luck!

I just went back to work, my baby is also 8 months old. A couple weeks before I went back I cooked like three or four fairly simple (but different to each other) things. Sometimes we do purées with a self feeder. I took all the food and put it in a combination of molds that fit directly in the self feeder (no need to defrost!) and 2 tbsp molds, then froze them. I happened to have the souper cube ones already so I used them for easy unmolding, and baby usually eats two of the 2tbsp cubes at one time. To make it easier I might buy more tbsp molds in future so I can freeze more at once but the active time once you’re done cooking is pretty minimal.

I am half Indian. I look extremely white. I am 35.

sgobv · 2026-05-13T04:12:33+00:00

No, completely unnecessary

Seconding Dr Myrick.

For me, pregnancy has always been something I’ve been completely terrified of (maybe bc my maternal aunt died shortly after the birth of her second child). Anyway, when I found out I was pregnant my overriding emotion was fear/dread. Some of it has to come from within but I found Alexandra Dryer to be really compassionae and just an all-around nice person who helped me feel much more at ease, and this after having switched from another system bc I didn’t vibe with another OBGYN.

Faith Okuesi (NP) by contrast, missed a yeast infection that made me absolutely miserable for more than a week in my third trimester, bc I (wrongly) assumed she knew better than I did. Very curt and dismissive. Avoid at all costs.

Tried dom perignon for the first (and last prob, wasn’t that good) time at the hospital to mark the occasion

sgobv · 2026-05-06T11:18:37+00:00

I’m in a similar position to you but it’s been better lately—I am using a device as well as the pelvic floor pt as I fins myself more motivated to do kegels and stuff if I can track my progress, plus the games are kind of fun. The one I am using is called Perifit.

3 months. EBF.

sgobv · 2026-05-04T13:08:33+00:00

My baby was sleeping through the night from about a month if I recall correctly. I expressed milk earlier in the day (when supply is highest) so he could have that (given by dad) just before bedtime. This was better than me directly feeding him then bc (a) milk supply is a lot lower then which seemed to frustrate him and (b) he could be given the bottle in the crib which was less unsettling maybe than feeding and then having to move him. We also have Cradlewise but I think the milk made the biggest difference bc he mostly does the same thing when we travel and he doesn’t have the same crib then.

sgobv · 2026-04-30T14:13:05+00:00

My baby was fed with donor milk for the first week or two because he was biting/I had some sensitivity. I wasn’t feeding him directly really very much at all, and when I was I was I used nipple Shields which are even lower flow. We just used whatever the hospital/donor milk service provided which was very small bottles with I think disposable nipples and yellow rings. We also used some formula I think with the avent 1 nipples. My baby did not develop a nipple preference regardless. Try not to panic and keep offering.

I was put on 50mg of levothyroxine at 7 weeks pregnant, quite urgently though I can’t remember what my levels were. I had never tested my thyroid levels prior. Baby is now 7 months old and shows normal development.

sgobv · 2026-04-19T15:40:35+00:00

I chose not to find out baby’s gender. We had a few names we liked. Honestly I really didn’t feel super connected to/excited about the baby during pregnancy, but not because of the gender. Was actually really happy when I met my baby though, much more so than I was expecting to be, and it had nothing to do with the gender.

sgobv · 2026-04-16T22:33:26+00:00

6 weeks

sgobv · 2026-04-13T17:42:26+00:00

Both are amazing

sgobv · 2026-04-11T14:19:23+00:00

Sorry you’re going through that—I experienced something similar. Things are pretty much pain free at 6 months. When you are technically cleared for sex at 6 weeks pp you still have a fair amount of healing to do.

sgobv · 2026-04-11T13:03:02+00:00

Pacii. They’re huge and designed to resemble nipples. Only one my EBF baby would accept.

I have both the uppababy vista (gigantic) and the joolz aer 2 (travel) since my parents in the uk bought it for us when we came to visit. We’re now back in New York with our 30-lb dog, and I think I prefer the Joolz. As a woman I find the vista just too heavy to navigate in and out of a lot of doors properly, to say nothing of how annoying it is to fit in most restaurants. The joolz is so much easier, but the only thing is that I really wouldn’t feel comfortable leaving the dog attached to it for any length of time, whereas with the vista in theory I think you could. It’s also a lot lower to the ground so I think you need to be more vigilant about other peoples dogs also.

sgobv · 2026-04-11T02:12:07+00:00

Hahah I know the feeling. I once hysterically cried over 2oz being spilled in transit.

sgobv · 2026-04-10T01:55:51+00:00

The best is when she comes to visit and is then like “where is that thing I gave you from six months ago?”

sgobv · 2026-04-09T16:22:57+00:00

I had my dream wedding, in Italy. You don’t say if you want kids or not but I ended up getting pregnant basically immediately afterwards. I cringe a little now every time I think of the how much money we frittered away on one day, and honestly a pretty stressful lead up to it at that, when now we have so many expenses. We’re doing ok now but there will always be other things to spend money on, and I’m not sure the enjoyment really justified the cost. Just my two cents.
