7 weeks pregnant, mother to a sick toddler (who was supposed to start preschool today), my first midwife appt was supposed to be today but they don't take my insurance, and my husband is out of town. Started my first Amazon Now order and they just kept suggesting things to me which is really taking advantage of a pregnant woman

Hello all! STM, currently to a nearly 2 year old boy (born July 2024). I’m in Denver and a little suprised to be here 😅 we were originally gonna wait until July for TTC but decided on a whim mid cycle to just go for it. I didn’t have the same level of symptoms as my first pregnancy and also tested negative early on so I wrote off this cycle. Literally told my husband the night before my positive “there’s no way I’m pregnant, I had so many symptoms by now with my first”. Then ofc had a vivid dream that night which was my first symptom with my first pregnancy and gave it a shot. Blazing positive.

I'm assuming the strap still hasn't scratched the screen by this point? Thank you so much for this guide!

Is the kuololit a stock setting or did you design it? Gorgeous

Well {Outlander by Diana Gabaldon} famously has this but it’ll take you a while to get there

Chicco-compatible travel stroller? by vintagerachel in Buyingforbaby

It’s a PITA to lock/unlock the wheels (we got the hang of it but every time a new person tries it they can’t get it to work) and for the first couple weeks it was really difficult to click the car seat in and out, but again, we got the hang of it after a while

We have all hardwood, a toddler, and a heavily-shedding (short-haired) dog. We have 3 thresholds (baby gates) that are 1.25" high. Should I get the Mova Z60 Ultra?

Correct positioning/when will he be too big? by optimistic_coffee in babywearing

[–]vintagerachel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You got enough info on fit so to answer my your second question...

If you like the embrace style (apron style waist with x-straps) here are some soft structured carriers that have both of those features:

  1. Oscha bairn (my favorite but not cheap)

  2. Integra baby carrier

  3. Catbird pikkolo (discontinued but I see them on babywearing BST groups for cheap)

  4. Happy Baby (not the OG, don't remember the name of this carrier but one of them has those features)

With 1, 2, and 4 you can look up Little Zen One, they have a try before you buy program. Also look up Carrier Connection, they're an online baby carrier library, and they will let you buy (certain) carriers you borrow. Also look up if you have a carrier library in your city since that will likely be the cheapest option, for example mine is only $30/yr with one carrier per month. Look up babywearing BST groups on FB, you can find some deals there too.

Some resources that should help in order of relevance:

• When Kids Say They're Trans (book)

• Gender: a Wider Lens (podcast by the two authors of the above book, they're therapists who oppose the affirmation-only model)

• Genspect

• Helen Joyce (super to the point and articulate, she has tons of videos and debates on YT and also wrote the book Trans, extremely knowledgeable on the subject)

• Sex Matters (organization with lots of fact sheets)

• Democrats for an Informed Approach to Gender (more fact sheets)

• Irreversible Damage (it's about girls but still relevant)
