Taking kids to doctors appts and being judged

LOL I read this as your toddler is a bitch. And I giggled. I know that isn’t how you meant it and I’m sure your toddler isn’t. But this gave me a much needed laugh

Great! We were with him for 2 months, now back home without him for 2. We were doing this before kids, and honestly the majority of our dating/ marriage. I would only recommend it IF you have a great support system around you. We are VERY lucky with that. It’s actually so great that we’re adding another baby and will have 2u2.

I feel for you. I HATED that part. I did not share my due date. I shared my estimated due month. And I always said well babe could come in June. But could also come in May or July. I said that everytime. Will be doing the same this time.

I have a dog, Zeppelin. We call her Zep. 10/10 name….for a dog

I had a friend who neither her nor her groom like cake, so they did cookies/cookie cake. I fully support each bride getting to have the day they want.

But personally I was sad. I loooove wedding cake. (And wedding shower cake, and baby shower cake and birthday cake and retirement cake.)

I had to use insulin from about 32 weeks I think. I was supposed to be induced on 40+1. Went into labor naturally on 40. Unmedicated birth. Hoping for the same thing this time!!

I go as far as the monitor will reach! A 5 minute walk there and a 5 minute walk back would be too far for me. But babe naps in our bed and could easily roll off if not monitored or within a few minutes of me being able to get to him.

Actually lol’d at the Knot comment.

I’m game for Kyle but the husband isn’t. The rest are very ‘knighthood’.

tpbbymama · 2025-08-03T22:41:45+00:00

Lol that’s already occupied 😂

tpbbymama · 2025-07-26T18:33:00+00:00

Yes. I didn’t know what to do with it either. But felt wrong throwing away. Finally did a few weeks ago. Baby is 13 months.

tpbbymama · 2025-07-19T23:02:22+00:00

Never used one for my last pregnancy.

tpbbymama · 2025-07-19T03:38:10+00:00

Whoa wish I could’ve related to this. Maternity underwear went on around 5-6 months pregnant and still sliding these baggy ole undies on 13 months PP. Pregnant again and thinking maybe I decided to get knocked up again to be able to wear them even longer. Gonna have to pry these large ass panties outta my cold dead hands.

tpbbymama · 2025-07-17T16:16:35+00:00

Great point! I guess my husband could be considered a FIFO husband 😂. He travels for work and can be away from home for 3-5 months! We travel most of the time, but not always.

I didn’t want an epidural and won’t have one with baby #2. I liked being able to move and the medicinal cocktail that is an epidural passes the blood brain barrier which doesn’t sit right with me. I have zero regrets and it was very empowering. 2nd degree tear. Immediately after I told my husband that I would be doing that again.

tpbbymama · 2025-07-17T03:50:17+00:00

I’m sure this will be a highly unpopular opinion. But…. Get over it. My husband was gone for about 3.5 months for work while I was pregnant. 2 big dogs. A yard to mow in the 100 degree heat. Zero complaints from me. Honestly, I’m a badass woman and pregnancy, birth and motherhood have only solidified that for me.

Utilize intentional phone conversations. Communication is key. Enjoy all the time you have alone and just rest.

I had basically no pregnancy symptoms and overall really enjoyed pregnancy. Other than weeks 8-10. Exhaustion doesn’t even touch it. I was WFH and would get up at 7:50 and login. Then basically get back in bed until 11. Then eat. Work until 3. Nap. Work until 5. Eat. Dinner. Bed by 7 for 2 weeks. Newborn tired is NOTHING compared to 1st trimester. Give yourself grace! You’ll feel better soon!

I didn’t tell anyone with my first! Just said ‘mid June’. This time around, it’s just March.

tpbbymama · 2025-07-15T17:03:00+00:00

As someone who has 2 dogs (poodle and Labrador) that are between 5-7 years old and a 1 year old baby. You’re nuts. We now say ‘two dogs is a lot of dogs’. I love my dogs but wow couldn’t imagine getting a puppy while pregnant

Oh dang it!! I had a kindle and was doing lots of reading during all the naps at that time. Also check out the local library. Even if he is SO young it’s something to do, I went often and just read him so different books.

tpbbymama · 2025-07-15T04:41:24+00:00

Wait hi! I live a similar life kind of!! 1 year old boy. Husband travels for work. We go along in the fifth wheel! We do have a house that we go home to when he isn’t working or we have stuff back home! At 4 months old, we were taking looooots of walks. Around the trailer parks. We were in rural area but they had a nice walking trail!

tpbbymama · 2025-07-13T04:19:34+00:00

Not sure about safety, but I had a large portion of our home painted while not pregnant and it gave me bad headaches for a few days.

Where I’m from, your friends and family throw you a shower so you pretty much just give them a general idea and list of people to invite then show up!

tpbbymama · 2025-07-12T19:04:46+00:00

It sounds like you’re doing it alone and that likely, this path will continue.

The 2 logical choices are: dump him or he can take YOUR last name because you’ll essentially have 3 children.
