Nails? Cut them or is it fine to keep them?

I’m due in 2 weeks and I have acrylic nails! They’re medium length but I’m not sure if I should cut them or if I should get a fill? Mamas what’s your experience? Does the nails make it harder to care for a nb or if you’re used to them already wpuld it be fine? I don’t get stilettos so they’re not sharp or pointy I just have a charm I’d have to take off.

10000% yes! Remove/cute them short. It’s not only safe for baby but also more hygienic as there is less bacteria gathering behind short nails. As a mom to a 10minut old I can tell you that you will have a ton of hands on work now, and newborns are sooo tiny. Plus the acrylic nails might get caught on things such as diapers and clothes when you will be changing the diaper 12 times a day 😅

I had acrylic nails with my first. It would have been fine but we had issues getting him to latch. To help supplement his food we would give him colostrum in a syringe while putting a fingertip on the roof of his mouth to start his sucking reflex. I couldn't do it with the nails, so my husband had to until I got them removed.

STD rates and body count

Saw an interesting video and I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts on this topic!

So std rates are at an all time high as we all know. Do you think the mindset that body count doesn’t matter has contributed to the significant increase of STDs and HIV?

Secondly if someone says that body count doesn’t matter do you believe they are less likely to practice safe sex compared to people who believe in more traditional values?

I can’t put all the combinations in the poll so feel free to comment just yes/no answers

If your partner got a prostitute pregnant and then abandoned the child/ran away, what would be your response? Read…

So you were not in a relationship at the time or were about to be in a relationship, he gets the prostitute pregnant.
It’s her fault for not taking their morning after pill.
He tells her straight up that he’s not going to be involved and that she should terminate it.
She says that she won’t terminate and she hopes that he does stick around

So she deliberately gets pregnant, basically traps him

What would be your reaction?
he’s response is:
“She trapped me and it’s her fault for not taking the pill”
