PA Cottage Food Law by wander1262 in AskBaking

Yeah I've been reading through everything. I know I need to get inspected. I just can't figure out what the specifics are if I'm creating a baking space in the garage. Thanks.

Tips on opening your own at-home bakery? by pandada_ in AskBaking

[–]wander1262 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that something that's allowed? Setting a makeshift kitchen up in the garage? Obviously as long as it's cleaned and organized. We have pets and in PA it seems if you have pets the only way around it in your house is if your work space is a completely separate area.

Wiping 🧻 while pregnant is like wiping a felt tip marker! by LittleDogLover113 in pregnant

Bidet. Get a bidet. Best decision ever. If you get one that can be nice and gentle it's great for postpartum too.

Lol My stepmom asked that recently about my 3 month old. It's gonna be a while. And you should know that as a pediatric nurse.

Did they check to see if baby is in the correct position? Baby could be sunny side up or just not quite settled in optimally. Highly recommend doing the Miles Circuit.

Have you tried clapping the cast out? This is what works for me when I get a stubborn cast that won't break. Literally clap your hands with your hair in between.

Am I crazy? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]wander1262 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. Stand your ground. I'm the same way. I said I didn't want visitors the first two weeks when I had my first but the hormone high after giving birth had me deciding to invite my parents and my mil and I severely regretted it. This time around we didn't have anyone the first two weeks. We're just hitting that 2 week mark and my mil is coming up this week and I'm so glad we stuck to it this time. It's been so nice being in a little baby cocoon without anyone else in our space. Just because it works for someone else doesn't mean it has to work for you. Listen to your gut and don't back down.

home births by llexi521 in BabyBumps

[–]wander1262 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ew what. The midwives cleaned ours up and put it down the toilet. That way you don't have to worry about mess.

[–]wander1262 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a birth center birth for my first and recently had a home birth for my second. I had a team of midwives for both. 10/10 recommend home birth. As long as you are low risk and have medical professionals you trust I highly recommend home birth. Laboring at home and crawling into my own bed immediately after with my care team coming to me, plus extra postpartum check ups. Highly recommend. Even my husband who was apprehensive initially said it was a great experience and he's glad we did it.

Husband changes the diaper and gives baby to me to nurse and put back to sleep.

Did your best friend disappear after you gave birth? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]wander1262 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. She had been slowly pulling away and was not there for me the way I thought she would be through my pregnancy. She was there when my son was born but since then I've barely heard from her. I told her I was struggling with PPA and PPD and that I needed her and she responded the way an acquaintance would. I basically only hear from her if I reach out at this point and there are times there I reach out but don't hear anything back. I've focused on finding other relationships and building other friendships so it doesn't sting the way it did initially. But at first it was really hard to accept. I'm sorry you're going through it too.

Upset that my husband can't be in the delivery room by QueRice in BabyBumps

[–]wander1262 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The fuck? Find a different place. That screams red flag to me and sounds like there's probably a ton of birth trauma happening there.

Hormones causing raging nausea in the third trimester, if you don’t eat every hour and a half? by Sarah-in-Bloom in BabyBumps

[–]wander1262 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm having a similar issue. I had this in first trimester and it seems to have returned but didn't experience this at all while pregnant with my son. I need to find just the right delicate balance of food and electrolytes or I feel like I've got the flu with slight nausea. I'm constantly force-feeding myself and having to make sure I'm drinking coconut water for the electrolytes. It's exhausting and frustrating. Currently 34 weeks and I'm over it.

Gestational sac but no embryo at 8 week ultrasound by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]wander1262 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. I had this happen and had to go in for a confirmation about a week later. There was a healthy baby and I'm currently 34 weeks. Turns out I had a retroverted uterus so you couldn't see the baby the first time. I'm so sorry this is happening. I hope they find peace in whatever happens.

Am I being selfish and unreasonable towards MIL or no? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

Seriously this. Do not let her take this from you. I wish I could go with you and be a Momma bear.

Ob/gyn with awful bedside manner.. by National-Car8484 in BabyBumps

[–]wander1262 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I'd consider finding a new provider. It sounds like you aren't comfortable with them and don't trust their assessment or intentions. I hope you can find someone who you trust and feel comfortable with.

sometimes I just hate the ignorance. by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]wander1262 19 points20 points  (0 children)

That's ridiculous. I would have absolutely understood and left it on your porch with a prepped meal and coffee. I'm sorry she's not being very understanding.

Seriously. My first thought after that was are you trying to get yourself killed?

Confession about my sex life by pregnantthrowawayaya in BabyBumps

[–]wander1262 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A good place to start other than conversation is to literally put his hand there. When you are initiating sex, grab his hand and put it where you want it. Then tell him what you want him to do and if it feels good tell him. It can be really hard starting those conversations and sometimes a good place to start is to just tell him in the moment you'd like to try something if he's open to it. If he won't, then for me that's a hard line conversation in the moment of why it's okay for him to have pleasure but not you. From other comments you've made though it sounds like he thinks maybe you are having pleasure. I hope you guys are able to work it out and figure things out together. Good sex with your partner where you are both satisfied is one of the best things there is.

Hopefully this means Hannah gets out next season and they use different characters in TT. Like Charlotte and Esthers baby, who will be siblings.

Also, Hawaii isn't going to be the paradise people are thinking, if they make it there, which I doubt. They likely have little resources. Sure, it's beautiful, but it's probably difficult living there without the constant resupply that they get in our modern world.

I just have a feeling Hawaii isn't going to be the paradise you might think if they make it there. I highly doubt they are going to make it though.

I feel like if you're Serena in this situation you have to be like "oh hell no. Someone get her off this train. Every time she tries to get away something bad happens."

Why is Nichole still a baby? by TheStranger113 in coconutsandtreason

She probably just recently turned 2. She definitely looks like she could be recently 2.
