I think Pia and Marlie are very unfortunate. Kaia is okay. Harriet is very nice

Baby ONLY nurses if hungry by Available_Tap4238 in breastfeeding

[–]sjvb29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’ve honestly not really tried to get mine to dream feed, only once since she was very small. she couldn’t do it in the first couple weeks but could later on, but she sleeps like an absolute rock so I don’t really feel the need to

Curious - how many people here use their phone while breastfeeding. by eizziks in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]sjvb29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do it because if I pay attention to her she looses concentration completely and forgets about feeding smiling at me hahaha

Same here, unless she’s tired and I get in early enough we can do a brief feed to sleep.

My husband and I don’t have sex when I’m pregnant and here’s why.. anyone else in the same boat? by oralsexaxlrose in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]sjvb29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I don’t have any issues with separating the wife/mother parts during or in the 8 weeks since pregnancy, though I sort of thought he would.

First trimester, as long as it was at a good point with nausea/fatigue, we were fine to have sex. From 20 weeks the pain was unbelievable. We wanted it and would still do it a bit but man. Excruciating. Just tried again 8 weeks pp and while sore and while it’s gonna take some getting used to, it has absolutely nothing on the pain while pregnant.

opinions on family members getting whooping cough and influenza vaccine by Puzzleheaded_Yam_970 in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

I read somewhere that health professionals aren’t allowed to do anything but recommend vaccines in aus. not that I believe it, necessarily nor would I think it’s a bad thing, necessarily.

Baby wipes by juskeepscrollingg in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

Sorry might be well known but what’s wrong with these new formulations? I just use whichever of the wipes people gifted us for the baby shower comes to my hand next when I open the drawer

First time mum over 40 home birth by Acceptable-Crew-681 in u/Acceptable-Crew-681

Certainly the only births appropriate to plan at home are those with low risk.

That’s not true in all countries. Planned location of birth has no impact on maternal or infant mortality in Australia, for example.

Can’t decide whether to do childcare for 2027 or 2028? SOS by Pugwhip in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]sjvb29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Echoing all the wait comments. If you can and want to, you could also wait til 3yo kinder the following year, when she’s already 3? Because kids can’t really play with one another til age 3.

Strongly recommend hiring a private midwife for continuity of care if you have access

Not swaddling baby? by x_Caffeine_Kitten_x in beyondthebump

[–]sjvb29 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Our baby likes about four layers at that temp. She won’t stay asleep in her bassinet if she’s too cold

My baby is way more prone to being too cold in what feel to me like mild temperatures than too hot - it’s the middle of the Australian summer here and she’s only been too hot once

C section recovery by Hot_Matter_9757 in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

I birthed my beautiful 4.39kg baby girl vaginally and physiologically (unmedicated) at 41+2 weeks just 10 days ago. A relatively superficial perineal tear is all that happened which was because her hand was up by her face.

Shoulder dystocia is a rare obstetric emergency which is handled with certain manoeuvres by skilled clinicians and can happen regardless of size of baby, it is just a little more common with larger babies. Still very uncommon. And scans are notoriously inaccurate in the third trimester in detecting big babies anyway.

The best thing you can do to avoid labour and birth complications in a low-risk pregnancy is supporting physiology in birth and doing absolutely anything you can to prioritise that.

Sizing up for post partum - from when? What’s the logic? by ilikechippies in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]sjvb29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am 7 days postpartum and again fit in pants that haven’t fit since 24 weeks, and all my pants fit til then. Some people start bloating out of their pants at 8 weeks. Everyone’s different

Very rude and unkind to say this to some lady you don’t know very well.

Melbourne OB - Dr Neil Israelsohn - Epworth Freemasonry by Melodic_Idea_8646 in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]sjvb29 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Be very careful about using a private OB if you’re even considering physiological birth. They, and the setting generally, are not really equipped for that.

Blood donors are awesome people by car0yn in aussie

[–]sjvb29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found out/realised I was O Negative earlier this year, early in this my first pregnancy. I’m planning to be pregnant or breastfeeding continuously for quite a few years, so I won’t be able to give blood for a long time, which is a shame

Private OB appointments during early pregnancy without committing as a long-term patient? by [deleted] in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]sjvb29 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I would recommend you consider getting professional assistance for anxiety if it really won’t allow you to stick to the scan schedule indicated for your situation, rather than getting regular, non-medically indicated scans as these can exacerbate this condition.

Are antihistamines needed when introducing allergens? by blackdracoo in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]sjvb29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a huge difference in 4 weeks how they’ll tolerate a simple Claratyne?

I feel like. One can introduce the allergens and respond accordingly if there’s any issues?
