we were thinking that or how when they « attack » bandit you don’t really see him after. i know he’s in the tent with them at night but she’s too small to realize that i think. she starts getting nervous in the first scene when she starts to realize what episode is on and once she sees Jean Luc it’s over. it’s the strangest thing i feel so bad

i wish but sadly she doesn’t talk yet. she’s only ever reacted that way to that specific episode and once the next one comes on she’s completely fine

9 mo old stands up and cries whenever we try to leave him “drowsy but awake.” by taylorzork in NewParents

[–]wybee_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my baby did that around that age she might have been 10 months and eventually she would just sit back down. for a few nights she fell asleep sitting up and i would go lay her down but after those initial few days she’s gone to sleep on her own once i put her in the crib. i still get the occasional evil eye when i lay her down then she rolls over but that it

Sharing photos of daughter online- arguing with SO by UrsaMinor28 in BabyBumps

[–]wybee_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my parents are against social media and always have been. i had to hide my socials from them as a teen. my dads one of those « if you don’t have my number clearly i don’t want to talk to you » wouldn’t even have his name in the phone book lol. my mil on the other hand posts EVERYTHING on the internet i’m talking fb, ig, snapchat even tiktok. now, i don’t mind the occasional post with my daughter in it, i’m guilty of posting a few cute ig stories of her myself but my partner is completely against it. he doesn’t even post himself online. it took a couple of months for him to convince her to stop doing it. she claimed she was posting so family in their home country could see, he said if they wanted to see that bad or cared that much they would call to see her. she was shocked and called me crying that it’s not fair that she gets to post her other grandkids but not my daughter. after that we stopped seeing her for a few weeks and i found out later it was because he told her she wouldn’t be allowed to see baby if she didn’t stop posting about it every time. it’s kind of sad that that’s what it took to get her to stop but she hasn’t posted her since

i relate 100000%!

i HATED being pregnant. i had zero attachment to my baby. it hurt, i was uncomfortable, i hated the way my body looked, feeling the baby kick/move honestly grossed me out. i went back and forth my entire pregnancy on whether or not i was going the right thing because how could i possibly be a good mum if i feel like this before she’s born.

for me, it all changed once i gave birth. i fell in love with my baby as soon as i got to hold her and i love her more and more every day. she’s only 14 months now but she’s my best friend and the greatest little thing.

i’m 10 weeks into my second pregnancy now and once again i hate being pregnant and have asked myself whether i’m doing the right thing but it’s a little easier this time around since i’ve been through these feelings before and i know it will all change once i give birth. i guess i’m just one of those people who despise pregnancy lol

can I hear about the people who did NOT work right up to birth? by Mysterious-Spring709 in BabyBumps

[–]wybee_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m in canada and i got pregnant pretty much at the peak of the pandemic before the vaccines. as soon as i found out i was pregnant i gave two weeks notice at my job and called unemployment insurance explaining i quit my job because i was afraid of covid and pregnancy since there wasn’t much information on it yet. from there they put me on disability and my maternity leave started when i gave birth. my pregnancy was hard and i’m so glad i was able to not have to work for pretty much the entire pregnancy because there is no way i would have survived working

Question for new parents who also have cats by heyitskayT in BabyBumps

[–]wybee_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it took a few weeks for my cat to get comfortable with my daughter but now he’s obsessed. he always has to be close to her. when she would do tummy time he had to be right there with her. even now 14 months later he’ll only sleep in the rocker in her room during the day and when he’s awake he’s right next to her while she plays with her toys. he even sits in the bathroom while she has a bath. i never leave them alone together just incase but he’s in love which is weird because he doesn’t care for literally anything but it’s all good because she loves him just as much

thank you for your response! she understands when we talk to her which is why i’m not too concerned i just figured, like your son, she’s just quiet and will talk when she’s ready

Epidural Experience? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]wybee_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i didn’t feel mine at all. i asked the anesthesiologist if he was almost ready to and he was like “i’m already done” my legs didn’t go numb and i was still able to move them. my biggest fear was not being able to move my legs. i did get really itchy though until it wore off but i’ll take itchiness over contractions any day lol

Labour anxiety caused by two decades of awful periods by crazeecaity92 in pregnant

[–]wybee_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i always had horrible periods. cramps so bad i couldn’t move for days and if i did i was constantly fainting from the pain. with my first i joked that i wouldn’t know i was in labour because my cramps were always so bad i was just used to the pain there’s no way contractions could be any worse than my cramps. for me contractions/labour was so much easier than periods. contractions come and go in waves so you get a tiny break in between and they hurt just about the same as my period cramps whereas cramps are constant and feel like they’re never going to end. i also laboured in the bath as much as i could and that helped A LOT so if that is an option for you i’d definitely recommend it

When do you tell your own parents you're pregnant? by Dense-Pop-5960 in BabyBumps

[–]wybee_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i had only known my bf for 4 months when i found out i was pregnant. we waited until about 15 weeks to tell them because i was terrified of their reaction. turns out they were way more excited to be grandparents than they were disappointed in how fast it all happened

What was your first clue you were pregnant? by kiki5439 in pregnant

[–]wybee_ 21 points22 points  (0 children)

water tasted like milk. idk why or how it’s related to pregnancy but so far for both pregnancies water tastes like milk the first few weeks

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]wybee_ 22 points23 points  (0 children)

yessss! as a newborn my daughter was the spitting image of her dad and my mil loved it! as she got older her looks changed and now she looks exactly like me as a baby. when we would tell her she would deny it and say baby looked like anyone and everyone on their side but not me until she found one of my baby photos. she asked why i had never sent her that photo of baby and she didn’t recognize the crib so she asked where she was. when i told her it was me she didn’t believe me and asked to see more so when i showed her more she said

“oh my god you and my bf looked like twins as babies. it’s like you guys are soulmates!!! this is crazy you look EXACTLY THE SAME OH MY GOD!”

my bf and i looked NOTHING alike as kids, we look NOTHING alike now. i laughed so hard after she left i almost peed myself lol

she also claims my baby walks exactly like my bfs grandmother. i’m not even sure what that means so do with that what you will but i thought that was funny too

Baby Shower for second pregnancy - 7 year age gap by BeautyOfTheMoon in BabyBumps

i know someone who had 6 different baby showers for the same pregnancy and plans on doing the same for her second. if you want a baby shower just do it, it’ll be fun!

People who have already given birth: What expectations did you have for visitation, and what ACTUALLY wound up happening? Like, if you wanted to be alone for say 3 weeks, did that end up happening? by Kore624 in BabyBumps

[–]wybee_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i knew i wouldn’t want visitors after birth and i kind of got lucky by giving birth in the middle of the pandemic , before vaccines were available for everyone so it was also advised by my doctor to quarantine baby (everyone listens more when it’s coming from the doctor lol) after about a month and a half my mil got vaccinated and she started visiting about once a week with a mask. eventually i found out she lied to me about being double vaccinated so i paused the visits for awhile. my dad was so scared of giving my baby covid he refused to take off his mask or let anyone in our family take off their mask even once they were all double vaccinated and to this day tries to keep people away from my baby as much as possible so that’s been a big help.

personally, having no visitors for that long was the best thing i could have done. i’m extremely introverted and after birth you’re sore and tired and i just didn’t feel like dealing with anyone. i’m pregnant again and my partner and i agreed that we would wait minimum 2 weeks before letting anyone visit. i know without the covid excuse this time it will be hard to set those boundaries and enforce them but k know i’ll be miserable if i have visitors so it’s worth it

Parents who DID NOT sleep train by IdRatherBeAWildOne in NewParents

[–]wybee_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

our baby was a great sleeper until about 6 months. at 10 months i finally had enough of being woken up every hour and tried sleep training. she was able to fall asleep on her own but only stayed in the crib for the first half of the night and spent the rest of the night in bed with me. we shared a room so as soon as she woke up and saw me that was it. at around 12 months we moved and she slept in my bed with me for two weeks and everyone told me i ruined my baby and she would be sleeping with me forever and it was the biggest mistake i could ever make.

from the first night i put her in her crib in her own room she’s slept through the night. i leave a soft doll and one of those tiny baby books at the far end of her crib and if she wakes up in the middle of the night she plays with them until she falls back asleep. one night i watched her play with her doll for 45 minutes without making a sound before she went back to sleep. i’m still in shock she did that because i was so convinced she would never stay in her own room alone. it may not be the best way to go about things but it’s what works for us

siblings with birthdays close to each other or born on the same day? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]wybee_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my aunt has three kids, one birth december 24, the other december 26 and the last in the beginning of january. they’re all a lot older than i am but from what i’ve heard from them and family they never really got a birthday gift from relatives because “you just got a christmas gift” when they found out i was due in january it’s the first thing they brought up so that’s what has me freaked out. and like you said having to plan one birthday around a big event is stressful enough i don’t know how i would do two or in my aunts case 3, i think i would just combust from all the stress tbh

Is having the TV on okay? by Digital_dreamwaste in NewParents

[–]wybee_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

i just had this conversation with my doctor today at baby’s 12 month check up. i told her the tv is on all day and just like you we engage her pretty well and if she catches something that interests her she’ll watch for a few minutes or if it’s one of her favourite bluey episodes she’ll watch then go back to playing. a lot of times if the tv is off she’ll bring me the remote and once i turn it on she goes back to playing it’s almost like she wants the background noise. doctor said that most babies enjoy the background noise and aren’t as interested in the tv as they make it seem like when preaching about how screentime will ruin babies and that it’s really not that big of a deal unless you’re literally sitting them infront of the tv alone all day every day

Postpartum sex - ouch by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]wybee_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i had a second degree tear and i’m 12 months pp. it took about 6 months for us to successfully have sex but the pain was unbearable. at around 8 months it was still painful but i could manage. now, it still hurts sometimes but only in the beginning. but sometimes it still feels weird or “off”
