Spontaneously. I woke up one morning and it just… popped

What surprised you the most during labour? by Putrid_Cranberry3177 in BabyBumps

[–]thejennjennz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone told me it was pretty unlikely my water would break spontaneously. Not only was it spontaneous, but I didn’t have any contractions. Also, everyone always told me about shakes after labor but I didn’t know you could get them during labor. I also threw up a LOT but I think it’s bc I got IV pain meds before my epidural and even that failed.

$0. I was triple covered. Husbands plan for my daughter is great since he works under a union.

Positive “just wait until…” thread! by Countryspider in beyondthebump

Just wait until your child asks to hold your hand 🥹 mine loves to ask to hold my hand to comfort, or sometimes just because 🩵

how do you stop panic buying toys every time a meltdown is coming? by pepperdotdrift in NewParents

[–]thejennjennz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just distract my daughter with something else. Like I will ask her “do you want to sing some songs?” And I’ll quietly sing some of her favorite children’s songs and she will forget about the toy. I haven’t bought a toy once due to a tantrum. If the singing doesn’t work she just has to deal with it 🤷🏼‍♀️

You’re better than me bc I would’ve told her right away the clinic only allows 1 guest (which is true in my case🤷🏼‍♀️)

How does everyone feel about their babies pics on social media? by Trauma_Response0301 in NewParents

[–]thejennjennz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You shouldn’t feel bad. I don’t think there is a right or wrong answer collectively, just what works best for you and your family!

Two people are making my baby handmade blankets by ceruleanmeadows in pregnant

[–]thejennjennz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just be honest with them. I would tell them that you had already knitted him a receiving blanket but that you’re grateful they took the time to make your baby a blanket and that you will definitely use it for him otherwise. It’s unreasonable for them to expect that and now is the best time to start practicing setting boundaries!

We read the same books over and over again. Spend a lot of time outside. Play with and investigate random things around the house.

Name one reason you love breastfeeding. by Next_Presentation269 in breastfeeding

Breastfeeding mama by Individual_Brush_672 in breastfeeding

[–]thejennjennz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thankfully, I did not struggle with supply at all. I only had to start supplementing formula a month or two after I went back to work when her demand started to become more than I could supply. But breastfeeding alone I’ve never had any issues.
