@abrahamist This is such a good call out. The weight of financial worry is enormous.

@chadfrommudvayne We fall apart together. Collapse onto the couch and cuddle while watching TV. It's not our ideal bonding activity (at least not ideally our only activity), but it's all we have. I've found that watching reality dating shows gives a lot of fuel to feel superior in our...

@1shizueallen1 NOT overreacting !!! From now on, bring a sign to hang on the highchair that says DON'T GIVE FOOD TO BABY - SEVERE ALLERGIES. As I'm sure you know, allergies typically worsen with exposure, so it's imperative to make sure no other idiot/asshole does this again. I can't believe you...

@robinrocks I don't have a link, but a nursing PhD told me that her research found that the benefits of breastfeeding may be mostly due to shared microbiome of skin to skin on the mother's chest. So perhaps continue pumping (continue doing whatever it is that gets your baby fed!!) but still do...

@monsieurhauddennifels It is so cute! You'll learn to love it too. Watching your kid grow and develop new skills is amazing. You'll be bursting with pride all the time.

@monsieurhauddennifels This probably doesn't help, but they are all climbers, regardless of gender. My girl started climbing about a minute after she could walk and now she RUNS up and down the couch 🫠

@nalex1066 Oh man the hiccups! Mine got hiccups like five times a day (no exaggeration). She still is a hiccupy kid, gets them every time she laughs too hard 😂

@seeker1231 I totally agree!

@fairydustlady My baby was Sunnyside up when I was in labor. I was 8cm dilated and almost fully effaced. He reached in and flipped her 😳

@alotanor It's a real journal! I looked up the journal when I first read the study and it has an impact factor of 2.4, which isn't great but isn't bad. That's why I decided to post. Edit: I didn't consider that it could be a pay to publish journal 🤦‍♀️ I'll look into that.

@the_precious_one Oh that's so interesting that you wrote a book! I guess you don't want to sacrifice your anonymity, but I would love to see it. If you feel comfortable, maybe PM me the link?

@stevesgirl Oh my gosh my brain totally short circuited. How did I not think about that?!

@grace4nan Isn't it so surprising when they come out with these little tiny feet after your ribs being pulverized for months?

@fvp It's a stupid methodology. Although I can say, at 11 months pp, my baby was hella active in utero. Moving all day every day. I had constant motion sickness from her never-ending movement.

@karlx Yes, all of this is absolutely true!

@katrina2017 Another excellent point! It's totally subjective. If I remember later I'll look again at their methods later, but I'm guessing they didn't report their scale if I can't remember it now.

@catherinenosleep Aw, thank you! And I totally agree. But it's not their fault, the way we teach science is inherently flawed. We tend not to leave room for ambiguity or change. Although to be fair, that does make it really hard to teach. I teach psych courses and it's difficult to stress that...

@4rwyn Good point about placenta position!

I thought this sub might be interested in something I found just now. I was interested to know if there was a correlation between fetal activity in the womb and baby/toddler activity. For instance, if a baby kicks all the time in the womb, are they a little hellion bouncing off the walls later...
