If you claim to care about “women’s health” let alone women’s reproductive health where were you in 2021 when they were pushing a rushed 💉 on pregnant women? Leading to a substantial increase in miscarriages & still birth rates. You’re a wolf in sheep’s clothing and don’t care.

@Elliesmommyy23 @acottagemouse I would have loved to produce this with a full day of pumping last time. I produced under half of this within a full DAY 😅🥴

@acottagemouse How does this happen

This was literally how much I’d produced when I pumped with my first baby. I had a huge freezer stock, but then dried up at 11 months? Nothing I did brought my milk back, it was all of a sudden I couldn’t pump more no matter how much I drank or what I ate, what I did. Idk. But I had been hugely overproducing up until then!

My homeschooled son just finished "9th grade", whatever that is. He recently took a standardized test and scored in the 96th percentile, or a grade equivalent of 13+ across the board. He has spent less than 2 hrs / day learning for the last 10 years. Public school is a scam.

I need to stay off reddit. Just read a post about a Mom talking about her 3 MONTH old babbling and apparently said “gay” tonight. Then proceeded to say “I’m not sure if this is her coming out at 3 MONTHS old but ….” Excuse me. THREE MONTH OLD. I’m done for tonight 🤦🏼‍♀️

Your baby is not born "sleeping" or "stillbirth".. choosing to terminate the baby for any reason is an abortion and I'm so sick of these people trying to justify any reason for it. Especially at 26 fucking weeks.

@gothhauswife @onetreeduck Test strips & a BBT monitor/app tracker. Hasn’t failed us yet. Got preg both times when we wanted tracking this way. Haven’t gotten pregnant when we weren’t explicitly trying. If sex during ovulation is so wanted as some comments apply use back up like a condom it’s not difficult

@onetreeduck You should let them know that ovulation testing strips exist.

It’s actually very easy to avoid getting pregnant, but it does require the slightest modicum of responsible timing, which is apparently very hard for the vast unwashed masses to master. Sterilization is for the NPC class.

@coleslawless The research on US consistently show that estimated weights are off by +- 2 lbs 🥴

“Your baby is measuring in the 99th percentile!” I’m all for natural birth. I prefer to have a natural birth, but hearing that my baby is massive has me considering a scheduled c-section. Because what do you mean this child is measuring weeks ahead of scheduled growth???

@homemakinghunny Literally going to mention it all night and hope the husband goes and gets some somewhere 😂

@KarmeloHarrison I’m so sorry 🤣 I wish I could send you a few lol

Oh. I am in trouble with these…

@GulagInmate5790 @gothhauswife Planned home birth attended by a registered midwife was associated with very low comparable rates of perinatal death, reduced rates of OB interventions/ adverse perinatal outcomes compared with planned hospital birth attended by a midwife or physician.” pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC27…

@gothhauswife It's not fearmongering when the risk is real.

I’m not touching the discourse about the influencer bleeding out during a homebirth. You’re all like sharks in the water. It’s spiritually ugly and opportunistic to use a woman’s unfortunate (albeit preventable) death to fearmonger against homebirth at scale.

@GulagInmate5790 @gothhauswife “Planned home births are as safe as planned birth center births for low-risk pregnancies. Current guidelines advising against planned home births are not supported by these data.” pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11…

@ciaobella______ Oh and I just added cowboy colostrum!

@ciaobella______ We heart nutrition prenatals and omegas Bovine beef/liver Mega food blood builder/ hemagenics iron Trace minerals mag Ithroid Moringa, goats rhue, sunflower lecithin & Shatavari (All based on guidance from CNM/herbalist)

To the seasoned moms out there, what kind of supplements do you all take for postpartum/breastfeeding support? Currently taking We Heart Nutrition prenatal + iron + mag stack & love it. Heard great things about L-theanine.

@Prolife_Sam @softlynia_ And even the stability of them being separated from their twin is highly highly traumatizing to the child on top of the trauma of separation from the birth mother. I cannot imagine doing this to a child. Absolutely heartbreaking.

Stability is removed from their lives the minute you create them via surrogacy, even without divorce involved. Why do you love those twins? Because you’re their gestational/birth mother. You’re the only mother they know, even though their biological mother is also their mom. They know your scent, they know your heartbeat, they know your voice, you’re the only one they will want when they are born. If divorce hadn’t of happened, they’d be separated from you at birth and handed to strangers (to them). That’s trauma for babies. We have tons of research on this. No one should be doing this to children, even in the “best” case scenarios. At this point, they are alive, they are here and all we can do is love and support them. We should aim to put them first in every way, even if it disrupts the lives of adults.

I’m a surrogate. Not my eggs, not my husband’s, just my body for nine months and a $52,000 contract that was supposed to end the day I handed two babies to two parents who wanted them equally. Instead I got a call last Tuesday. The intended parents are divorcing. The father found out three weeks ago that the mother had been seeing someone since before the embryo transfer even happened. Now he wants both kids. She wants neither. Her exact words to her own lawyer, repeated to mine, repeated to me: she’s “not equipped to raise a constant reminder alone.” So now there’s a clause nobody read closely enough, written for a single emergency neither of them imagined, that says if one intended parent declines parental rights, the surrogate may be asked to retain custody of that child instead of the agency placing it elsewhere. I’m being asked to keep one of two babies I’ve carried side by side for eight months and hand the other one to a man I’ve met exactly four times. I don’t know which twin gets to come home with me yet. I just know one of them will, and I already love them both the same amount.

@XD_42069 @Elliesmommyy23 Typical response when shown data that supports a different idea than you choose to believe.

@KarmeloHarrison @Elliesmommyy23 Mhm have a million home births then, maybe you’ll finally die and shut the fuck up

This is why you shouldn’t free birth if you really don’t know what you’re doing or know the signs

@happygreymom Same here! Posterior placenta with my first and she was so chill- so much so we went to L&D for “decreased movement” and she was completely fine lol this baby: anterior and SO crazy with movements- so very strong and consistent 😂

I have an anterior placenta but I can feel this baby move so much, even from early on. It’s amazing and such a gift to constantly feel the movements of my baby

Being 37 years old and sharing a checking account with your mom is super weird for any adult man that age, but doing that while running for the senate is disqualifying. You can’t even manage your own finances and you want to manage the government’s? No way.

@_br0f I have 2 😂 one for PP supplies (and home birth supplies that’ll transition to PP supplies). Other cart is baby items and pumping/BF items at bedside lol

I did not have a "bedside caddy" when I had my first and I am not making that same mistake again lol

🧐Did you know.....because I didn't know...and they sure as heck knew...BEFORE EUA!!! Six days before Pfizer’s COVID shot received EUA, the draft prescribing info said pregnancy data included this sentence: “Therefore, the Pfizer BioNTech COVID 19 Vaccine is not recommended for use during pregnancy.” That sentence was crossed out before authorization!!! Final recipient language was softened to: no experience in pregnant/breastfeeding women: “discuss your options” with your provider. Except... DART materials said vaccine-induced immune responses were detectable in rat fetuses and pups, meaning the biologic effect was not limited to the mother! Pfizer said no adverse developmental effects were seen in that animal study. But the point is this: Pregnant women were moved from “not recommended / insufficient data / animal studies incomplete” to “shared decision-making” days before EUA. Talk about no informed consent. The fraud in all of these documents is ridiculous. Discovery is going to be like dropping an atom bomb at this point I think.

Man who procured his child via surrogacy with his male partner laughs that when his child is upset, he screams for “mommy,” even though he’s never known his mother. God help us. Ban surrogacy.

She’s right, of course. Mealtime is a big part of this problem. Lots of parents negotiate with their children, allow them to not eat what was served, or just serve them chicken nuggets or mac and cheese for every meal. They don’t teach table manners. They don’t require that their children ask to be excused before leaving the table. They let their kids use electronics at the table, etc. Complete disaster.
