International travel

We are going to visit family in mexico for 2 weeks in a couple of months. Looking for anyone who has experience going internationally for over a week and any advice or must haves are appreciated. She has been on an airplane a couple of times but we have never been away from home this long with her.

We have already got her a passport.

Hi ! Wife of a very proud Guanajuato husband 🤣 we have gone 3 times since my son was born. Once at 3 months most recently at 7 months. I would recommend not to bring your full size stroller as they don’t fit on the sidewalks in most cities , too many ppl walking close together. I used a baby carrier most of the time to keep him close to me and I used my doona stroller which doubled as a car seat when traveling by car. Lots of snacks for the plane and try to fly at night or close to bed time. For the rancho I brought two sleeves of diapers with me (the quality of diapers in Mexico is not very good) if your baby has sensitive bum then bring him his regular diapers if not then you could buy some. Wipes the same. I bought a travel folding bottle drying rack and a new bottle brush which I tossed when we flew home. For sterilizing parts boil water the old fashioned way. Most of it is going to depend what part of Mexico you are traveling too.

We did a 2 hour and 3 hour flight with our June 2022 baby and it was a nightmare! I’m sorry! But yes they just squirm & need to be constantly entertained bc they are at that age. Just do it and know that the flight has to end at some point! 😂

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

I have a feeling like I might get attacked from this but I’m going to say it anyways. incognito 🥸 GLP1s being mainstream for regular people who are NOT diabetic or morbidly obese is bad for so many reasons 💉💉💉

Side affects, long term dependency, supply shortages and costs, regaining the weight back as soon as you get off them.. all that ASIDE how do people not see just from a zoomed out perspective how crazy it is. I can’t imagine being someone facing food insecurity in an underdeveloped country and watching westerners give themselves daily jabs so they can lose weight while still eating a calorie surplus/ crappy foods. It’s giving hunger games when district 12 Katniss finds out at the party at the capital that people eat and then take a pill to make themselves sick so they can 🤮 and eat some more. These ads running ozempic everywhere are disgusting, and then getting amazing athletes like Serena Williams to push them talking bout “i’ve never been healthier” girl you were an OLYMPIC athlete wym??

Getting pregnant after c section

When did you get pregnant again after a c section? Our plan was always to have 2 under 2 but that is now out the window because I had an emergency section. I know they say 18 months and we will be sticking to it (as much as I don’t want to) but I’m curious how quickly you got pregnant after your section?

Movements

I’m 28 weeks tomorrow. Yesterday I had loads and loads of movements but today I have only felt small flutters and a couple of kicks throughout the day. I get so confused as some people say they don’t have a pattern but others say they do. We have a Doppler so used it this evening and could hear the heartbeat and then moving but does anyone else get quieter days of movement than others? I am seeing my midwife tomorrow so will check but just find myself getting anxious about it and don’t know when to get checked. I know they encourage it but last time as soon as I got to triage baby started moving loads!
