    How did my mom do it

Saturdays we cleaned as a family, Sunday was laundry day and meal prep day. Dad did the laundry and my mom and I meal prepped for the week. Monday was...

    I’ve had a fever every day for 8 days and I’m so pissed off.

    @gina I'm worried you have pneumonia and need stronger antibiotics and possibly a hospital stay. Do you have a pulse ox? You can buy them on Amazon. If your room air resting o2 sat is less then 90 I would go to the hospital.

    Pregnancy pillows are overrated

    @hoop Yup I prefer a big body pillow and a few other strategically placed pillows. My pregnant pillow is nice for a short nap but not longer sleep

    @manitouscott Nearly weekly there is a post on Reddit from some 18-25 year old guy who got his girlfriend pregnant miraculously after she was “ told she could never have kids” and it just annoys the fuck out me. Dude she is either straight up lying , she made it up in her head, or she had a...

    Minimal weight gain at 19 weeks pregnant w/ baby #2

    @ergo So I’m 5’9 and was 192 pre pregnant so technically over weight. I’m now 26 weeks and have gained 8lbs total. Baby is doing great and everything else is on track so my dr wasn’t concerned. She said I may just catch up at the end. I was pretty sick the first 3 months and now I feel full all...

    What is it like going from 1-2 or 2-3 kids with 2 full time working parents?

    @infomommax I’m a nurse so the schedule is different. I work with many nurses with 3-5 children. Only way it works is because shift work is flexible. Night shift, weekend and part time are possible. I think 9-5 with multiple kids is really hard. Unless you have a network of friends and family...

    29 weeks and baby measuring 3 lb 9.5 oz. I'm terrified

    @asdf415 My baby was measuring 4lbs at 32 weeks and that’s 25% percentile and dr said they aren’t concerned until 10 or less. So I think you’re right on track for a baby ranging from 6-8lbs and not a giant baby. I’m getting another growth scan at 36weeks so we shall see.
