@hedowns Ahahaha my husband got me a turkey sandwich, Oreos and lemonade and honestly that felt pretty close 😂😂

@jcano Same, this was definitely my experience (my midwife both times actually needed me to slow down and push less, and even so the pushing was VERY quick). In terms of resources, I found the information and the guidance around unmedicated birth and pain relief options in Penny Simkin’s The...

@crossroads100 I also have talked with my kids about the fact that it’s ok to only eat some of a treat, and if you want to save parts for another time, or just don’t want to finish it, that’s ok. I think sometimes kids get caught up in “I have to have this now or I won’t get it at all!” but...

@relle25 Also an urban apartment-dweller, and really agree with this list. I also (controversially?) don’t like a big stroller because it doesn’t physically FIT anywhere (including lots of stores); I found navigating the city with a carrier and a backpack of essentials WAY easier. Also fwiw...

@zermel Also they hold up! My SIL handed hers down to us after two kids, it lasted through both of ours, and then I passed it on to a friend. Looked like new, apart from some minor fading.

@ewkratz Their unscented dishwasher powder is also great!

@gcbdeengirl Also, IDK if they still do (it’s been a while), but they used to have tall maternity clothes online!!

@tfran These, and also Teflon pans.

@3angels IDK if this will help but my second just. didn’t. sleep. We tried literally everything one can try, read (or tried to read through a fog of sleep deprivation 🙃) every book about sleep, and nothing. She woke up at least once a night, dropped naps at the age of two, just… no sleep. I...

@bofaith Similarly at that age my kids did dance classes at our local Y. Chill, fun, cheap, and no makeup :)

@jack_sdb Also, OP, re: dairy I would second the recommendation to talk to an allergist. Depending on the allergy (or if it’s an allergy at all), eliminating it can avoid making the allergy worse. It also sounds like this is coinciding with a lot of other changes, so an allergist may be able to...

@relle25 Seconding all of this (and also palms of the hands! Now it is confined to the creases of my elbows and wrists, thankfully). I also had pretty bad eczema as a kid, and still get some minor patches from time to time. For me it was food-related as a child, but now is very much related to...
