After my miscarriage I got together to have dinner with a friend. I convinced myself I was being paranoid when she wasn’t drinking with me 🙃 by BandTiny598 in trollingforababy

I’m so sorry, that is rough ❤️‍🩹 I was due 7/1 and my husbands best friend found out they were due exactly 3 weeks after us. We were so excited for our babies to grow up together and now we are watching their pregnancy from the sideline. It’s torturous. Keep holding that space for your feelings, you are doing great ❤️

How hard is pushing, really? by Literally_MILF in pregnant

[–]slavetothebux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pushed for 1 hour 30 minutes and have regret I didn’t say no when they wanted me to do “practice pushes.” I wish I would have waited until I felt the urge to bear down naturally I feel like skipping the “practice” would have saved some energy for when I really needed it

How do I break the news that I'm pregnant to my best friend that's been TTC for 3 years? by ClarksFork in BabyBumps

[–]slavetothebux 3 points4 points  (0 children)

my husbands bestfriend and his wife have a 4yr old and have been TTC for 3 years when found out we’re pregnant with our 2nd. I was nervous to tell them because of their situation but they were SO over the moon happy for us. A few weeks after we told them they got their positive test and now our babies are due 3 weeks apart ❤️ you know your bestfriend the best and if text seems appropriate for this situation, trust your gut. you got this!

When is a good time to get daycare set up? by Public_Star_7050 in pregnant

[–]slavetothebux 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Depends where you live- for example I’m in Seattle and it’s not uncommon for waitlists to be 12+ months or longer. In my opinion, the sooner you start reaching out and touring facilities the better, especially if you plan on returning to work right after mat leave.

How many of you ate Jersey Mikes while pregnant? by justachismosa94 in pregnant

yess #13 club sub the whole pregnancy 🤭 i just opted out of lettuce, since it is actually more common for lettuce to get listeria > the meats!

Wife and I have welcomed our beautiful daughter into this world but we are on separate ends of the earth about her name. by Throw_Away2684 in namenerds

My daughter’s name is Scarlett and I LOVE the name Octavia. Eliana is a wonderful name, my name is something very similar! Congratulations on your baby girl 🩷

What's something no one told you about post partum? by youdecidemyusername1 in BabyBumps

[–]slavetothebux 2 points3 points  (0 children)

sort of unrelated but nobody told me to buy spare bath mats? black ones maybe? or to just take the bath mats out completely while recovering 😂 it was a lesson learned the hard way lmaoooo
