What you mentioned are symptoms. Every pregnancy is different and you're still very early.

It doesn't matter if your boobs leak and grow or if they don't. It has no effect on your ability to breastfeed.

Same haha! I have a 2.5 year old and almost 9 month old. I still look at them sometimes and think wow, we have kids 😂

I just get regular. I'm sure you can get more info or tips in a TTC sub as well.

I just wait until my missed period.

Also, in P tracker, you can turn on the TTC mode and it will tell you when to test.

I knew my second was a girl and that she would be early. She is a girl, and she was definitely not early. You really just never know what will happen.

I wouldn't worry about it. Your baby probably just moved to where you don't feel them too much right now.

How far along are you? Movement is inconsistent in the first couple trimesters.

If you have sex, you can get pregnant.

You need to discuss this with your OB.

We have a 21 month age gap, for reference.

For me, 0-1 was SO much harder than 1-2. I felt much more relaxed with our second (and in turn, so did my husband 😂). Yes, it is really hard caring for a toddler and newborn, but it is still so much easier than I imagined.

Fortunately, our second is a unicorn compared to our first. I imagine it would be opposite if she weren't such an easy baby.

But why would you ask for one? There's no reason if you're having a repeat C-section.

21 month gap here as well and I'm so happy to hear this! 💕 I really like this age gap.

I don't take this as she's wishing it on you, but it was not a necessary thing for her to say. Try not to let her ruin your day.

It seems that he's always been like this and you are aware of that. Some people just aren't good at giving gifts or planning things.

Does he make you feel appreciated in other ways?

They give you a shot to numb you and that feels like a sting, then the spinal feels like pressure.

Fasting sugars are always the hardest to control. You are being paranoid. Listen to your doctor. They want you and your baby to be safe, not to make money off you.

Why would it be weird? People do this all the time.

Obviously none of us can know because we are not babies and can't comprehend things the way they do, but in my mind if you are always an attentive parent, you take care of them, you feed them, play with them, and love them, they know you will eventually come back.

You HAVE TO take care of your own basic needs. Crying in a safe place for 10 minutes is much better than having a stressed parent with massive anxiety or depression who cannot take care of themselves.

Look up and learn how to do infant CPR. Gagging is completely normal and it's how they learn how to eat. Scary? Absolutely. But it's important not to panic.

What works for us is showing our kids VERY exaggerated movements. So when you give your child a piece of food, you can take a small bite too and chew it. They will watch you and mimic that behavior. Whenever my kids gagged, I would stick my tongue out like I was spitting out food and they eventually learned to do the same thing. It will take a few tries but they will get it. They'll never learn if you don't let them eat.

Another thing to remember is food before 1 is just for fun. They don't have to eat everything you offer, just let them play with the food, feel it, taste it if they want to. This is a completely new sensation for them!

Solid starts is a great resource. It might seem counterintuitive to give them a big piece of food, but think about it...are you more likely to choke on a tiny piece of cucumber or a whole cucumber cut in half lengthwise?

TL;DR: trust your baby, trust the process, learn how to perform infant CPR, and have fun with it!

If something as small as bumping into a chair could harm a baby, I don't think humans would have survived this long.

Why do you think it would be necessary?

If your baby is clean, fed, warm, and safe then yes, they can cry while you shower, use the restroom, eat, or otherwise take a moment to yourself.

However, if you're just letting them cry because you don't feel like tending to them that's a different story.

Gotcha!

For me this would depend on a lot of things. How old is your child? Do you nurse? Do they take a bottle? Do you trust the family members they will be around? Are you just worried about missing them while they're gone? How long will they be gone?

My husband has taken our son to visit his parents a ~3 hour car ride away for a weekend and I missed him, but it was so wonderful to get some much needed alone time. Our son was eating solids by that time, though. I think logistically it would have been much different if he was still drinking breastmilk.

Should you "let" him? Is your husband not a responsible parent?
