Pregnancy Thread

-edited out-

As far as diapers go I will tell you this buy the target brand ones they will save you a shit ton of money, we have tried just about every brand with our 15 month old and those things handle his big shits better than any of the name brand ones have.

Ps: If you have not gotten a baby monitor stay away from ones with a camera unless you wanted to be turned into some sort of crazed worrying maniac anytime you travel without it. The wife wants to check on him every 15 minutes whenever we go to visit family because she cant see him sleeping its crazy.

Fuck man I don't even remember what I posted

-enjoy your time away-

Edited first part out per tarrant.

Back on topic - has anyone played around with a fetal doppler monitor? I go back and forth between 'sounds cool, want' to 'sounds like a way to get frustrated, do not want.'

They don't work at all unless you buy the medical grade one for $600. Save your $20.

They work, just very badly. The one we bought caused us to panic when it took like 30 minutes to find the heartbeat. We would have been in the ER except that my wife could feel movement. They are huge pieces of shit, terrible purchase imo. We never used it again after that one night.

Have to post this because it is my 7 month old's absolute favorite food. She likes "eating" with us at meals but doesn't like purees so we have tried a bunch of finger foods - baby puffs, bananas, avacado, etc. She'll eat them all, but not a huge fan. I hit the jackpot with these ones however, she just gobbles them up.


1 cup of baby's fav fresh fruit, pureed
2 cups plain or vanilla yogurt

Blend pureed fruit and yogurt. Line a cookie tray with wax paper. Fill an icing bag (or ziploc baggie with the corner cut off) with the mixture and place dime sized dollops onto the cookie sheet. Put the cookie sheet into the freezer until firm. Store the frozen yogurt drops in a freezer bag. Serve to your baby frozen.


Most babies can have yogurt at 6-8 months, but you can always check with your pediatrician first.

Huh. I will try that. So you just put them in a little bowl in front of her and she grabs them on her own and eats them?

I also have a 7 month old daughter. She's a very good eater, pretty much eats whatever we've tried but we havent done finger food.

I also wanted to do that strainer thing that you can put fruit and stuff in and they basically suck it out as mush. My 4 year old loved that thing.

These things are awesome - great for foods that would otherwise be choking hazards. Also worth their weight in gold for their ability to hold ice cubes during teething.

So far we've been lucky when it comes to morning sickness but Saturday was rough for my wife... she only got out of bed to throw up all day

First trimester sucks. Second is the best IMO. Usually no morning sickness, woman is more often than not horny as hell with all that extra blood running around and not too big to be uncomfortable. Third trimester similar but the size of the baby starts to get annoying for sleep+sex+general comfort.

My wife did 32 hours labor without epidural, only reason she got it was because she needed assisted delivery (he was upside down) and they were considering c-section given how long had passed since her waters broke. Epidural is known to increase your risk of tearing + all interventions (forceps, ventouse, c-section).
Wife was perfectly happy laboring through the pain and would have done it all natural until we found out he wasnt gonna come without intervention given his position.

Last time I congratulated was on MN and probably not seen, so grats again on the podling labybro.
