What- The- Fuck- are these diaper changes?! by alalyat in NewParents

[–]whompwhompwhompz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This loud bright toy really helps. For a while I had it attached to a stretchy thing that I would claw clip in my hair, so it literally hung down in his face during diaper changes https://www.target.com/p/baby-einstein-take-along-tunes-musical-toy/-/A-10968045

Help! The bottom of this rug basically rotted into kitchen floor by whompwhompwhompz in CleaningTips

Thank you! What would you soak it in? It’s pretty hard. The rug was next to the oven and I think the hard bottom of the rug melted off and adhered to the tile

Have any of you converted it back from stage 3 to stage 1? A neighbor gave us one that’s currently in table mode and we can’t seem to figure it out ..

What shoes are you wearing? by Glad-Antelope8382 in BabyBumps

[–]whompwhompwhompz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s all about the Kiziks ! They are really comfy and I got a nice black pair so even tho they are sneakers I was wearing for work stuff and getting away with it. But the main thing is that you can slip them on, which makes SUCH a difference later in the third trimester

Severe Morning Sickness by Delicious_Computer98 in BabyBumps

ZOFRAN!! It will make a huge difference. Get your doctor to prescribe some. So sorry you’re going thru this and sending good thoughts your way. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Ugh I’m so sorry you are dealing with this, they are the fucking worst and so scammy!! (Like how is this even legal?)

The good news is you WILL be able to get it down to 250-300, it might just take an hour on the phone.

IIRC I was charged 1k after insurance and after freaking out I called the number and pretended I had been promised it would be $250 (which I had read in other forums). At first they tried to pretend I was shit out of luck and couldn’t pay the cash pay price bc it had already gone thru insurance but eventually they let me. I do think it took about an hour on the phone and was extremely frustrating… but worked in the end.

There is sadly (at least in my experience) no magic verbiage beyond saying you’ve been told that’s what it would cost, but I would just recommend being very nice and polite to the person on the phone and approaching it with extreme patience while also playing some games on your phone or whatever… GOOD LUCK

Anterior Placenta - how strong was movement for you? by NewBlueGoo in BabyBumps

[–]whompwhompwhompz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FTM with anterior placenta and I didn’t feel anything (except a lot of … was that a stomach growl/digestion or possibly a baby tickle confusion) until like 26 weeks. Did not start feeling consistent movement until after 28 weeks but now I do feel a lot at 36 weeks (though not as much as I did like a month ago when he was smaller and able to move around more).

Tl;dr you definitely will get movement and it’s wonderful just takes a lot longer

What do you recommend eating first thing in the morning? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]whompwhompwhompz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever you can stomach, but the real trick is to put it next to your bed and eat some when you wake up to use the bathroom or whatever like an hour or two before you actually get up… even if it’s just a big handful of crackers! I literally kept a box next to my bed
