@underscorezero My mom has major leftover trauma from her own infertility to get me, and I had known PCOS so it’s no surprise trying to conceive is taking a while. I was prepared for this and understand that it’s going to take time to figure out, etc. My mother however is still so insensitive...

@rubichudhari45 I mean, you could just ask for the hypoallergenic tape instead rather than avoiding the whole epidural...

@mickaela Lots of natural light, screens, friends, outside time, sugar, and pretty much anything they say to avoid before bed. Unfortunately she’s probably wiped because she got up so early. If you can’t shift nap can you push back her meals a little to line up better with your goal schedule...

@jcano Can you do a weeknight? I don’t mind staying late to put my nanny kids to bed at all, and once they’re asleep I’m just watching TV or cleaning so it’s not much different than being home. I also don’t mind a weekend but somehow it’s more annoying to go to my NK house than just continue my...

@sourdough 37 is doable, but there’s definitely fertility challenges, which could be true at any age. Are you using your own eggs or your wife’s? Because if she has eggs that would ease some age related concerns although would then require IVF.

@katrina2017 In this case it sounds like kiddo and husband won’t be moving at all, so making friends and having stability in where kiddo lives won’t be an issue. Just mom being gone for chunks of time.

Some kids just come out with blood and cheese and clots and all the nasty on them. Some kids come out...

@pariaman I work in the NICU, so yes but it’s really weird! If I’m induced and it’s not going anywhere after 12-24 hours, call it and let’s go to the OR. if it’s working we can keep going. If I’m bad at pushing and you know this isn’t going to happen just tell me. I’ll probably have an...

@michaelwayne57 Have you considered using donor sperm? I mean it doesn’t sound like he’s interested in being a father at all, so might as well just do you since he isn’t participating anyway. People don’t magically change after you have the kid. Or maybe he’ll realize you’re serious if you...

@neophyte365 Have you actually looked at freezing your eggs? Because if you have PCOS and are already 30 that could be a bigger task than your imagining. The egg retrieval is really taxing and the cost is high. On the plus side you could jump straight to IVF when you do start trying which is...
