Were any of you induced (or recommended to be induced) early due to “baby measuring big”?
Baby boy measured 7lbs6oz at today’s 36 week MFM scan (+40 and IVF so I see both a regular OB and a MFM). Plan has always been to induce at 40+1 if he hasn’t made an appearance, which is the same route we took with previous baby. However, I’m wondering if they’re going to start talking about a 39 week induction.
Stories and data/anecdata, please!
In case this context matters, my first induction (just pitocin, otherwise unmedicated) was a v– birth. Hoping for a repeat. I wear a Jcrew size 8 when I’m not pregnant and I’m 5-8 so I don’t think I’m small from a birthing standpoint.

Feeling compelled to share an anecdote from this weekend because it just struck me so hard.
My kids (2.5 girl and 5 boy) attended a princess themed birthday party a few weeks ago. All the girls got fairy wands with their goody bag. My son was one of only three boys invited; the boys got plastic swords. The swords were of course a hit and my kids play with ours regularly still and share well. This weekend after a game of knight and dragon my daughter found her fairy wand in the toy box. She looked at it, looked at her brother’s sword and came and sat in my lap then sadly said, “Why did the girls not get swords?” We decided she could use her wand to do magic to stop the dragon, but it was sort of a lame attempt as compared to the sword. She’s not yet 3 but she knew that the boys were treated differently from the girls.
i know it is only normal given the season, but yesterday was a day. my 4.5 year old twins must have asked every 30 minutes when the sun is going to set and we can light the menorah, eat gelt and open presents. their behavior was atrocious all day in anticipation. i think i prefer when Chanukah falls before winter break starts cause if yesterday was any indication, it is going to be a long 8 days…
Would you rather do Disneyland with a toddler still in diapers or one who has recently been potty trained?
We have a Disneyland trip planned for May with my toddler who will be 2.5. We don’t need to potty train yet for daycare. He has sat on the potty just fine but never used it.
Trying to decide if it would be easier to bring a diaper bag and not have to worry about going to the bathroom constantly, or if not needing the diaper bag (but presumably needing a change of clothes just in case) would be more convenient.
I think my link is stuck in mod – but look at Target there are some fun sparkly velour and tulle dresses both in toddler and kid sizes.
Help! I need to order dresses for my girls (sizes 5T and 6) to wear to neighborhood New Years Eve Party. I’m picturing long sleeves and velvet and don’t want to spend more than $25 per dress ideally and am somehow having trouble finding something I like. Open to not long sleeves nor velvet if anyone can suggest better for a surburban young kid evening party at a neighbor,s house vibe (I often mange to guess totally wrong on the suburban dress code). Suggestions?
So, I really like all the trappings of the holidays, but after baking numerous batches of cookies, decorating cookies with the kids, addressing holiday cards, adding more lights to the house because the kids thought it looked naked (they weren’t wrong), and trying to find suitable dress shoes for my daughter to wear on christmas eve… I had an epiphany that my mom was a SAHM and I am not, and probably I should lower my standards.
Has anyone done ISR and can provide feedback? We have a backyard pool and a 14 month old. I swim at the Y fairly often and am super unimpressed with the lessons I observe there. We have a pool fence as our primary safety layer and am debating if ISR would be a valuable addition. it is feasible for our family as there is a very-well-regarded instructor nearby and class slots that fit in with my work and daycare schedule. Local reviews are glowing but I’m scared it’ll be a traumatic experience. Also scared of toddler drowning though soooo
last week there was some discussion of a public school with 12 days of christmas or whatever and a mom commented that a group of moms decided it wasn’t worth saying anything and I know it feels annoying to be ‘that’ mom, but last week on the main page someone else commented that they were nervous to put up Chanukah decorations outside their home because of the rise in anti semitism. my family doesn’t celebrating Christmas and so i am often ‘that’ mom at my kids’ school, and at times it is lonely and would be nice to have some support even from those who do.
You guys — in my mind it is still February or something. The COVID time warp is real, even though we are back to (mostly) normal. I have been dragging my feet on the cards for this year… I took the photo weeks ago and just couldn’t pull it together. But they are ordered as of 20 minutes ago and I even went for Happy New Year, so it looks intentional. Now if I can just get the tree decorated and presents wrapped, I’ll be all set! (Well, and I buy some stocking stuffers…) Anyone else struggle this holiday season?
Ugh, we’ve had a good long run but covid finally found us. The timeline doesn’t make a lot of sense. Negative lateral flow before I travelled on Monday, but I was under the weather Tuesday and Wednesday but felt better by the time I got home Wednesday night, husband was sick by Wednesday and felt pretty bad for 3 days. We tested Saturday, husband was positive, I was negative, but had a quick positive sunday am. Kiddo remains negative but sounds like a pack a day smoker, so I wonder if he had it first and we just thought it was the sniffles.
The guidance here is that he shouldn’t test and should go to school if there’s no fever, but we are keeping him home. He is worryingly gleeful about “mummy school”. We are supposed to fly to my parents Friday night :(
All the underwear I buy my 4 year old seems to leave marks on him. I don’t think he’s especially chubby and we have tried sizing up but all to no avail. So far, we’ve done Gap, Hanna, Uniqlo, Carters, and Old Navy. Other ideas for the more “husky” boys? Specific types? I feel bad!
