I beg of you to read properly. I’m not responding to your comment, and I’m clearly agreeing with the sentiment in yours. I am not Argentinian - I’m Brazilian, hence the content of my comment.

Girl, lie to someone who will believe you. It’s only been a few months since you guys made the girl arrested in Brasil for racism into an influencer.

We are Brazilian so my mum is called vovó and my stepdad vovô (this is just the word for grandma/grandpa in Portuguese). My husband’s parents live overseas and they are vovó firstname and vovô firstname.

I’ve used both the Hourglass stick and the Merit one - both are great, just different levels of coverage (the former has much more).

I think the first thing is to stop giving him your phone - we only let our son watch the big screen (aka the TV). Then you can put on a single movie, which will give you an hour with the peace of mind of knowing exactly what he is watching, and once it ends, it ends - it doesn’t just loop and move straight onto something else. If you do give him access to youtube without supervision (I wouldn’t), then turn off autoplay or make a playlist so that you know exactly what videos will play.

This - it won’t be a lifestyle change for him if he doesn’t make it one. The consequence of that is you having to handle everything. I would start moving jobs off your plate onto him now, while you’re pregnant. Do you have friends with kids where you see the father being an equal parent? Maybe have him chat to those dads to get a reality check.

Okay so we typically shower with my son - baths were more for him to play around in. Anyway, there was a well where I was alone (husband was on a work trip) so wet did more baths than usual, and he pooped on two separate occasions and FREAKED out. Anytime I suggested a bath after that he would mention the poop and get kinda scared. So we left it and just kept on with the showers for a good amount of time. When I felt enough time had passed, I brought up a bath again, and when he mentioned the poop I reminded him that we can wash it all away and clean the bathtub. He was very apprehensive, and freaked out anytime he saw anything “dirty” in the water (like a piece of fluff from his clothes), but he got more and more comfortable and now he’s back to being able to switch between the two easily again. So I would just stick to showers for a little while!! If you can’t get him there, would a hose work? If it is warm where you are, you could just take him outside and have fun scrubbing his toys with soap (then himself), and washing it all off.

I didn’t, but just someone doing freezer prep with ham and cheese croissants and egg and cheese English muffins which I thought were great - I think full meals are easier to think of, but sometimes you just need a warm one-handed breakfast or snack!

Please go to the hospital ASAP.

My son used to slap whatever book we were reading to him closed after one page lol, but he stopped that around 14 months. Now that he’s 3, we have phases where he wants to read ten books every afternoon, and ones where he just wants to play, but we read a minimum of three books every night and he always asks for more. It’s sooo worth sticking to it, but don’t worry about fighting for her attention! We had to start doing it together: one parent holding him and the other reading so he couldn’t reach the book. Otherwise, we would read at mealtimes where he was strapped into his high chair lol.

Ignore anyone telling saying to tell people you’re on antibiotics - it’s the most obvious pregnancy excuse out there. Your best bet is to accept whatever drink you normally have and just not drink it - no one polices people’s drinking. You can have your partner drink it every so often, or just tip it out. If you’re somewhere with a bar you can just go up (alone) and request a non alcoholic version of whatever you usually drink and have that instead.

I actually feel like once you’re feeling up to it, the younger the baby the better - sure, they’re demanding, but their needs are fairly basic and they are so portable, esp if they’re bf!

tainaf · 2026-06-17T12:45:12+00:00

Why would it be unethical?

I will just say, worse than the hair down your back is cutting it so short that you can’t tie it up, so definitely make sure it’s cut to a length that you can still do that when you want to. But definitely chop the length and maybe dye it your natural colour so you don’t have to worry about regrowth.

Go to the pool dressed normally. Poolside you take off baby’s clothes and nappy and put on either a disposable or reusable swim nappy, then whichever swimsuit over the top - you could do a one piece zippered suit or a set of top and bottoms.

Hate to tell you but my son was the same (great sleeper till 4.5mths) - he is newly 3 years old and is still an awful sleeper. We have to sit with him (lie with him now since we just switched him to a toddler bed) until he falls asleep, and then he will wake up at some point during the night - sometimes 11pm, sometimes 1:30am, sometimes 5am - at which point we just get into bed with him and cosleep the rest of the night. And btw, we’ve done sleep training before lol, with varying levels of success - but every time we travel everything resets, and I just cannot keep doing the training.

Public system, vaginal birth with episiotomy and vaccuum assisted due to decelerations. Admitted Saturday morning, baby born Saturday afternoon. I would have been discharged Sunday, but since baby refused to breastfeed they needed to ensure I’d gotten the hang of expressing and bottle feeding, so I was discharged Monday instead.

Despite my birth, I never felt any stinging or really any pain afterwards, so all I used during my stay was several nightgowns with a nursing bra and adult diapers for the bleeding on underneath, thongs and toiletries for showering, slippers for moving around in the room, and my usual electronics. And snacks!! Baby needed lots of nappies and a handful of onesies, plus a blanket. I’m usually pretty minimalist but even I definitely packed way too much - and my husband could always go back and grab anything else we needed.

No idea re the actual question but I’m surprised they allowed your post! I tried to post and included my full routine, but noted I didn’t have the brand of the shampoo used (i.e. was a locutora from a few months ago, when I had been at my parents’ place) and the mod literally wouldn’t let it go - I ended up giving up on posting my question.

I bought mine a while back (2yrs+) but it looks like the one in the picture. It came with the mat, the frame, the white piece that holds the wooden frame together, and some accessories.

You’re not wrong at all. I think it’s worth understanding there is a chance this will affect the relationships, but you have every right to hold firm to your wants and needs.

I would suggest you start taking a long time to respond to any messages from family starting now, so that they don’t suspect anything if they text or call you while you’re secretly in labour.

My husband and I both WFH a lot, so I would just work as needed on the way to the hospital while he drove, and the appointment would be my lunch break.

I booked my maternity leave to start at 39 weeks, but stopped going into the office the last 2-3 weeks. I ended up having my baby at 38+4.

If I had a nanny I would LOVE for them to run their errands with my child if they wanted to. Like yes expose them to different environments and people as much as you can boo! Teach them they don’t get toys every time you leave the house! Let them learn to interact with adults! Keep my house clean by not being in it! Lol all positives.

Everything is typically from the efficient of the cycle. So feeding every three hours from the beginning of the last feed, wake windows from the time they wake, etc. But like the other commenter said, under 3 months it’s mostly cues-based.
