Pregnant and the Saloon 💅

Just tell me how you lay down on ur back on that hard beauty bed in the Saloon for two hours on same position? I can't breath well on right side or on my back I only use my left side in the whole sleep night. Till I find my leg slept, heavy, uncomfortable then my sleep gone😩.
I want to go to saloon but I'm thinking how I can bear that position for at least two hours? Can you tell me how u do it?

Unless your getting waxed....you wouldn't be lying down in a salon.

And I assume you would ask for breaks to walk around for a bit and then carry on

I get my lashes done Russian ones so they take 1.5 hour and my brows done and the beautician is soo understanding and she works around me and what I am comfortable with I lay on my sides she will sit me up she will just work around me☺️

If it’s a treatment that requires you to be on your back then be sure to let the beauty therapist know when booking so they can book you in for longer, to allow you to have breaks to move around

why wouldn’t you? Except from getting my nails done I lie down at everything else for the beauticians?

I've never known anything else to be lying down apart from massages.....I guess it depends on the beautician and salon.

I've been waxed lying down and sat up, I've had facials sat up, lashes/eyebrows sat up......so I guess it down to you and your beautician and what position you feel comfy in I assume.

Talking especially about eyeslashes. It took 2 hours laying down

Must be the salon/beautician and your preferences then lol

My lash tech will do it on your side/whatever position you’re most comfortable in

I’m a beauty therapist and we would never make you lay flat on your back it’s so bad for you and baby , the therapist should provide towels to roll up and lift the bed slightly x

Circumcision, please help

I know it can be a really sensitive topic, but I feel really underinformed about whether I should choose to circumcise or not if we end up having a boy.
For context: we are very non-religious, but I worry about the stigma of being non-circumcised when he would start to get interested in dating, navigating cleaning it and the risk of infection especially as he gets older and navigating potty training at daycare and stuff. I also worry about the increased risk of penile cancer. But then I also hate the thought of making my baby go through a major surgery unnecessarily and would prefer for them to make the choice when they are older if they choose to get circumcised.

How did you make your choice? Does anyone regret their choice?

How do I end this friendship

My best friend of 15 years and I are in similar stages of life and her behaviour has gotten increasingly erratic and triggering. I am about to have my first baby and she is struggling with postpartum from her second who was born last August. All the “normal” post partum depression symptoms I totally understand but she has also in my opinion made a lot of selfish choices recently.

She is constantly yelling and berating her husband and kids as well as flying off the handle at the tiniest things and it’s super triggering for me coming from a previous abusive relationship. She’s honestly being abusive to her family.

I feel like she always makes everything about herself and her reasoning has gotten soooo misconstrued. She acts only on her emotions and doesn’t care about anyone else’s. She never accepts any constructive criticism or advice even though she complains 24/7 about everything.

She says she hates being a mom and doesn’t want to be around her kids , hates her marriage, hates her job, and complains 24\7 and refuses to do anything to change. She also makes everything about herself including my baby shower we just had. She’s made rude comments to my spouse as well.

I don’t have many mom friends but at this point she is just not the type of person I want to be around because she is being so mean and wanting to bring everyone down with her. Also I am about to have my first baby and just want to focus on me.

no screen mums!!

are you absolutely 0 screens household? my boy is 6mo and me and my partner agreed no screens till 3yo, but I'm a sahm and showering is HARD when I'm alone, I've been thinking about recording myself singing the songs he likes and showing it to him for being able to shower.
What do you do?
