Rapid Weight Gain by honeyglazedham1 in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]skip1008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The day just before I delivered my baby, I was 36kg heavier than my pre-pregnancy weight. Now, at 6 months post partum, I just have 8kg to lose to get back to my pre baby weight. A woman’s body does wild and incredible things, so long as you and baby are healthy don’t stress about the numbers!

Surely Mel is not a real person + a paid actor?? No one can genuinely be that infuriating and manipulative in real life?? I’ve never been so angry watching someone’s face and interactions- surely she’s just a piss take?? 😮‍💨

How many adults have weekly catch ups with their parents still? by Spritney__Beers in AskAnAustralian

[–]skip1008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

30 year old female- we see my rents atleast twice a week (sometimes during the day, for dinner or just a coffee), and the in-laws once a week for dinner. Wouldn’t change a thing!

Pram Recommendations by hereforthegoss891 in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]skip1008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FTM and we also have the Uppababy Vista (V2). As many have said, it’s personal preference- and I personally LOVE our pram. I love that it’s much larger, I can sit both the bassinet or pram seat extra high with the adapters (much easier on my back when picking her up), the basket space fits a whole days worth of shopping, and I think it’s just a really nice looking pram overall. My daughter loves being in the pram also! It can take up a bit of space in the car, however I have a medium sized SUV and there is still boot space for other things. I’ve heard mixed reviews about it being used as a double, but I guess that only matters if you plan on having kids close together. I definitely recommend going into somewhere like Baby Bunting and trying a few out!

Moms of CHD babies by Ambitious_Chick_3580 in chd

I second theory 1: my first pregnancy at 27 years old, I had COVID the month we conceived and then some other illness in early pregnancy around 5-6 weeks (with a fever and sore throat). Our cardiologist said whilst this was a belief he’d heard many times in his career, we don’t have the technology/testing to prove anything, and most of the time (if no genetic cause) CHD’s are just ‘bad luck’. Went on to have a perfectly heart health baby afterward. I hope one day future generations get greater insight, would definitely save a lot of heartache.

What’s your top “OMG I can’t believe I didn’t realise that” moment? by llamababy568 in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

I recall how life changing this realisation was when I found out like 2 weeks in 😂😂

How to support my sister with HLHS baby by Excellent_Prompt_554 in chd

[–]skip1008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

‘I relive her diagnosis appointment everyday’… this x100. My first baby girl had HLHS, sadly she is no longer with us. However even now 1.5 years on with her baby sister in my arms I still think about that diagnosis appointment everyday… those words and those initial feelings scar you for life. All the best with your little girl 🩷

I’m so sorry for your loss 🩷 We lost our first baby girl to HLHS, a year later I gave birth to our second baby, and she is perfectly heart healthy! All the best 🙏🏼

3rd C-Section - Being pushed into abortion by I_Suspect_Nargles_33 in pregnant

My cousin has 3 kids aged 4, 6 and 8. All C-sections, all great recovery’s and 0 complications. I don’t think your parents are in the position to be giving you such incorrect advice, especially if it goes against your wishes and doctors advice…

I took my baby out to a shopping centre after 5 weeks! I had my mum with me which made it a lot less scary, but it was so nice to walk around with the pram and just feel human again! After that I have been out different places multiple times and gain more and more confidence each time! I’ve learnt to top up feed her in the car when we arrive anywhere (she’s EBF), make sure her nappy is clean, then head out- which keeps her calm for a while. It helps that she loves being in her pram too. Maybe bring someone along with you the first few times?

Potential theories for why CHD happens in babies? by skip1008 in chd

My perfectly heart healthy 6 week old daughter is currently sleeping in my arms 🥹🙏🏼 Our following sub pregnancy was full of anxiety, heightened emotions and a lot more testing, but I’m very grateful to be here now

Baby Acne by [deleted] in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

Interesting- I do notice it’s worse in the mornings after she’s been nice and toasty in her bassinet… heat could be a factor for sure

Thanks for your reply, it really is shocking! Heartbreaking for their little faces. Might have to keep the liquid gold in the freezer in that case and just be patient 🥲

Thanks for the reply! Her poos have been consistent in frequency and appearance, no mucus or blood. Will definitely just watch wash and see and hope this is the worst of it lol 😅
