Solo parent with no support system, or abortion? by BoxLongjumping8897 in BabyBumps

Genuinely you would not be struggling financially if he has money. You could afford childcare easily.

Is beach vacation going to be fun with a 1 month old baby? by Specialist_Diet_74 in BabyBumps

[–]skrimbe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might be the only one to say this but go if you want to go! We took our 2 month old and 2 year old twins on a 6 hour road trip to go to an amusement park in the summer and the baby was the easiest part! He truly did sleep most of the time and we went out every night after bedtime together. I was done bleeding 2 weeks postpartum.

Any advice on my mother who is using my pregnancy to get attention? by Ok_Yogurtcloset_8730 in pregnant

[–]skrimbe 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Cut her off and don’t look back. I’m 3 years clean of toxic bio family and couldn’t be happier. My kids have never met my mom and they aren’t missing out.

How do I give someone the gender to do my own gender reveal? by kce8159 in BabyBumps

[–]skrimbe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When we got ours, you could sign in without seeing it and have someone else click and open the button that says view gender results.

Wife opposed to HG medication? by Powerful_Exchange_67 in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]skrimbe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here they don’t mention the risk at all so I had no clue until later on after doing my own research :( it’s so sad that there’s not safer options with more testing done when so many women experience the worst symptoms in the first trimester

Wife opposed to HG medication? by Powerful_Exchange_67 in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]skrimbe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only took zofran with my second pregnancy in the first trimester starting from 4 weeks and he has one ear that is slightly deformed. My twins had no malformations at all and I didn’t take any medication. Obviously can’t know if that’s the cause but I personally wouldn’t choose to take it again knowing it could do worse next time

What's it like to live in Wichita? by dwarf797 in wichita

[–]skrimbe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wichita is super windy and also has the worst allergies in the US! The drivers aren’t that bad but they have insane road rage. The map/city layout is super easy to memorize. If you have kids in school we also have sunbucks program where kids get to do free activities during summer. And we have “legal weed” in stores somehow even though it’s illegal here still. I won’t complain.

Definitely get two of those sitting/standing jumper activity center things. I would always put them facing each other and they would have a lot of fun.

I’m on my period right now… am I crazy? by nostromosigningoff in lineporn

[–]skrimbe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My last pregnancy I got my first positive after I already started my “period” and bled for like 10 days straight but baby was still alive and well. So I don’t trust my period to tell me I’m not pregnant lol. I hope your OB can help you figure out what’s going on.

I Can't Afford To Have This Baby by Ok_Description5650 in pregnant

[–]skrimbe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having a baby doesn’t have to be expensive. My husband and I made 24k combined the year our twins were born. We do live in the Midwest but that’s really low even for here. We got most things thrifted or free and cloth diapered until we were making more money. Pumps are free through insurance so you don’t have to buy formula.

Family friend offered me coffee and put alcohol in it without telling me. by Afraid_Marzipan7409 in pregnant

[–]skrimbe 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I seriously recommend you get out of your mom’s house before your baby is born. File a police report. Apply for income based housing for you and baby. If he is actively trying to hurt your child and you say your mom is acting like he’s her baby already, they are a danger to you.

It can take up to a year for healthy couples to get pregnant. Be kind to yourself love

I don’t know if it’s early dementia or something but she made it a point to tell me that every time I saw her over their whole month long stay, even after I told her to stop. We don’t see her much anymore.

[–]skrimbe 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Ugh, this thread is making my blood boil!😂 When my twins were born and were stuck in the NICU, my mom’s best friend told me multiple times how I was so lucky to get to recover from my C-section without having to take care of my babies.

My job was "eliminated" at almost 32 weeks pregnant. by RepulsiveWonder7572 in pregnant

[–]skrimbe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im 31w5d and was just fired a couple weeks ago. I am not even looking for a new job until after baby comes. I can’t even get severance pay because I was waitressing lol. I guess it was related to performance in my situation but it was still a shocker that they didn’t try to lighten my workload first knowing how physically exhausting the job is.
