@samira742 Thank you.

@mackied The second part of this comment is what I was suggesting. Nation- wide reform around production and advertising, as well as broad information access. This gets closer to the root of the issue rather then individualizing blame for a larger social problem.

@mackied You are judging her. Your judgement throughout all your comments is that she is too ignorant to make her own food choices and must be forcibly directed using her only access to food as a control measure. Desire to control the choices of the “poor” is a common symptom of other larger...

@mackied Limiting access to various food items through SNAP has a long and well-documented history of classism and racism. The urge to control the spending of those on government benefits stems directly from the Victorian programs aimed only to help the “deserving poor”. Research shows most...

@missonbound I totally agree with this- however it’s so nerve wracking to hear a phrase like “fetal distress” or “elevated heartrate “ and then make a decision not to do what the doctor says. I wish we could just trust them. It’s so crazy.

@catholicmusicman Yea! After my induction with my first, I’ll do everything I can not to have that happen again.

@olliea95 Yes my induction was so terrible and long (also 2 days). I was pushed because of fetal heartrate which I later read I could have literally just drank some cold water and walked around and asked them to check again. I’m appreciating the information about no induction needed for big...

@javier_is_life Thank you!

@sferber Thank you for this little script. I was pushed hard to induce last time and was alone at all my appointments because of Covid. I’ll have my husband and possibly doula with me this time.

@butterscoth Thank you for sharing this.

I had a 32 week sonogram today and everything looks good with baby except they said she’s measuring really big. 5.5lbs. They want me to come in for heartrate monitoring weekly and another ultrasound in 3 weeks. I just KNOW they’re going to push for an induction at some point. With my first I was...

@youcantsitwithus How and when did you introduce the big kid bed? We have coslept since day one and don’t have a crib or bed or anything but I’m wondering when we should work on setting up a room for her and at least doing naps in there to start.

P.U. Get me outta here.

@port41919 Seconding having her sleep on the outside. Put your bed against the wall and have her be between you and the wall. It’s easier to keep blankets and pillows away that way too. And just keep her in pjs no sacks or wraps and you’ll be ok! We’ve coslept that way since 2 weeks old!
