    I love that you threw a baby shower for yourself!! Every baby should be celebrated. I also love that you explain what is happening to your body and why you need certain things. I am passionate about childbirth education. Wish I had that afterbirth tincture when I had my kids especially after my last birth which was a home birth. I remember throwing up from the after birth contractions. That probably would have helped tremendously.

    Just a word of advice for moms overwhelmed buying a car seat: they all have to meet the same safety requirements at the end of the day. Don’t have mom guilt for not splurging on the priciest ones with all the bells and whistles. Ultimately one of the most important factors to consider is if it’s user friendly, because if you aren’t installing the seat and buckling your baby correctly those bells and whistles mean nothing.

    • @keelanndelbosque8333
      @keelanndelbosque8333 Před 2 lety +5

      Absolutely! And taking the time to learn the in's and out's of the carseat, so you aren't left feeling frustrated when it comes time to adjust it.

      So right! My father worked for a car company's hq. He gave me a crash report for a year before my son was born. So many car seats have "fails" due to installed incorrectly or the child was installed incorrectly.

      The only thing I wish I had known about when I had my first was perineal massage. I had a big baby with a big head and that massage would've likely helped me get her out easier. Also delayed cord clamping helps a ton with preventing jaundice. Literally just a minute of waiting before clamping and cutting the umbilical cord is enough to get your baby most of that good blood into their body and out of the cord. Good luck! No matter what, the most important thing is that you and baby are safe and healthy, everything else is extra. You've got this!

I can ask all my questions and people are so kind! I know a lot of people will worry about labor! I watched merideths birth video that they did and that really helped ease my mind for labor.

Some things we needed 2 of, and where we still had a baby under one when they were born, some things we needed 3 of. 3 baby boys in under a year...chaotic but love our Three Stooges. I love that you did a baby shower. Drives me nuts when people say only have one for the first. In my circle, we've always celebrated each and every baby. They're all deserving, and in a crazy world, always a wonderful thing to celebrate the happy moments!! ❤❤🤱🏻

From an elderly English mother-of-five - I WISH you had been around 41 years ago - I WISH perineal cooling pads had been around - I WISH cloth nappies (diapers) had had buttons and a place for liners and hadn’t been just squares of towelling that needed origami-skills - I WISH we had been ‘allowed’ to co-sleep - I WISH there would have been nighties that were gathered at the ends (I made my own) - I WISH there had been onesies instead of vests. I kept on having babies until 1990 - so all those things came - EXCEPT THE PERINEAL PADS …,

Second son, from moment he came out, he did not like being swaddled, just a recieving blanket draped over him. And as he grew ,he'd have a blanket over the core of his body, legs and arms out.

Also my daughter was planning her daughter's birthday party and went into labor while she made the cake. So she went to the hospital and delivered her second daughter the day before the party.

    We had an infant car seat, but when our son was ready to transition, we got the Evenflo Revolve 360 and I LOVE it. Saves my back every day. But nothing beats having an infant carrier you can take out of the car!

    Hi Kim, I’m a CPST. Those inserts for the car seat are not safe. Everything that came with your car seat is all that you need. That stuff is not crash tested in the car seat and can cause your car seat to malfunction.

    So many great finds. I look forward to labor and delivery content. I wish you all the best in your labor and no stitch’s needed.

    Earthley makes a ease the ache which is good for after delivery and period cramps- really good and reasonable price and their customer service is awesome. I had a friend with 5 kids tell me when I was pregnant with my third that it definitely gets worse the after pain with the third and I have experienced that for sure with my 3rd and 4th births. Now I tell everyone not to be surprised at this because often we don’t know and we aren’t told except by another mama with usually 4+ kids.

Also, you're willing to give recommendations as someone who's Been There and Done That, and although I personally will never need them, I'm sure there is a young person out there who is very grateful to know what brands, products, and general know-how are good to have. Thanks for sharing your baby shower with us. If I'd known this was coming, I *surely* would have got you something.

Also tip on the car seat inserts from a car seat tech, your seat you bought actually came with all the inserts you'll need! The inserts are really a myth because there's not a single seat on the market that allows them to be used either! They are great though for use in strollers and bouncers etc!

    Had my girl and boy twins in 1985. We had absolutely nothing! Never had a baby shower. Bought a box full of t-shirts (no onesies back then) and receiving blankets at a yard sale. Babies slept in dresser drawers on bedside tables. Eventually my in-laws bought one crib, we had to buy the mattress. Was able to get another later. Had enough cloth diapers to get me through one day. "Short story long", we struggled but survived. If I'd had the option, I'd would have gone all out on baby stuff and MOMMY CARE! This was fun and so helpful for new mommies. You are a treasure.

  • @amytyler8216
    @amytyler8216 Před 2 lety +1

    Some advice from a mom of 5 and a car passenger safety tech, please don't use those newborn inserts for the car seat. They invalidate your warranty, they're not tested or safe, and your car seat comes with an infant insert that works just fine and is tested to be used with that specific seat. They are great for strollers and swings though. With the maxi cosi, you can get a really nice stroller second hand and use the adapters. I'd recommend a baby jogger city mini gt for you. It folds super small, does great for parks and fairs and the beach, and has tons of accessories to make it work for your family. The one I have currently I paid $20 for it at the goodwill outlet and I use it for my 45+lb neighbor and it still rides like a dream.

      Yes’s!! Ihave had four csections and I put the belly binder on the second day post op. It kept everything in and helped keep my abdomen tight so it didn’t hurt to cough or laugh. It does give you a false sense of “healed” though and can make it easier to do too much too soon.

    My daughter is 21 now and I cannot believe all of the things that are needed now. I didn’t even pack a hospital bag until the dr said I needed to be at the hospital at 4pm to be induced since I have developed preeclampsia. I was 17 so I just threw some pajama sets and some baby outfits into a bag since I knew the hospital or one of the grandparents could get me anything I needed. I was at least prepared with my nursery and had everything there that I needed. And for a car seat we just bought the one that came attached to a stroller and seemed to have plenty of padding to me but seeing all of the fancy ones now I am shocked. And we didn’t buy a baby monitor because the nursery was right next door and that girl had lungs. I would be up all night with her while doing my government homework. It was a super fun time 😝 One thing I know now that I did completely right. I refused to “be quiet for baby” we used our normal voices, had lots of visitors, friends would come over for movies and parties and stuff. I was a theatre nerd so our parties consisted of pizza and a play or musical. And I knew I got it right because that kid can now sleep through the apocalypse. She has always been an amazing sleeper !

I'll never buy another type of seat again. I bought one for my third and any other babies I am blessed with (Lord willing) will get the same.
