Craving difference

While pregnant did you notice if your cravings were more of things your spouse grew up eating more than what you grew up eating?

While pregnant with my daughter I craved grilled cheese and fruit punch so much. I’m Mexican and never really had that as a kid. My husband is white and he had that more frequently than I did. My daughter is an exact replica of him.

I’m wondering do your cravings have anything to do with who your child will look like more?

I’m currently pregnant with our second and now I’m having more cravings from my childhood. I’m wondering if anyone else has thought about this or if anyone else experienced this?

Help

I’m due in 5 days and today I have been in pain down below and keep getting sharp pains shooting down my privates and it’s like there’s pressure there and my lower back is also in pain, my waters haven’t broken. I don’t have an appointment until I’m 41 weeks, which is in 12 days. I’m starting to struggle to figure out if I need to wee or if it’s the pressure and pain. Has anyone else experienced this before? I can’t tell if they are contractions or something else.

Different last names?

What's your experience with your child having your partner's last name and you're not married?

In my head I feel like I'll need to bring her birth certificate everywhere with me just in case...

How did we all find bleeding? Did you get any clotting?

Labour?

40+4, had sudden contraction start about an hour ago, no signs beforehand other than pressure. They're painful and irregular, sometimes 2 minutes apart sometimes 5 minutes apart?!
Confused as what to do? Don't wanna go in and get sent home but it seems close together and already painful i thought they'd come on soft and grow in intensity

Is it rude to ask xtra adults to pay for entering play place for kids birthday party?

We’re planning my son’s 5th bday at an indoor play place and you only get free entry for adults accompanied by children. Additional adults are 10-15 dollars each which adds up quickly. We’re having a separate cake and presents thing outside of this for extended family (aunts, uncles, grandparents) that don’t have kids but some of these people want to come to the play place too. Would it be rude to ask them to pay the fee for them to come? I tried to explain that the kids just play the whole time so it won’t be like they would spend a lot of time with the birthday boy anyways. What do you think?
