Hey all. FTM expecting in January 2027. My MIL preordered us the Uppababy Kona (decided as our main stroller after we did MONTHS of research haha). We are getting ready to send our shower invites and our registry, and are wondering if we should put a travel stroller on there too? Thinking along the lines of the Nuna Trvl or the Joolz Aer2. I know we already have the main stroller, but is it bad to put a second on there?

Hey all. Have seen a friend’s Mabe monarch and really love it. Love the feel and the support. We added it to our registry but have seen all the helpful posts in here explaining the size of baby being a problem in the early months until they grow into it. Seeking recommendations for the best newborn specific structured carrier until baby grows into the monarch?

We have a couple wrap carriers on the registry too but looking for more of structure to wear on errands/quick trips. Thanks!

Hey all. My wife and I just announced our January baby and we are planning the shower. I’ve got our registry pretty much finalized and used all the checklists and recommendations from Babylist, Amazon, etc.

Wondering if you guys have any non typical items we should add on there that aren’t normally thought of? Thanks!

My wife got her NIPT drawn two weeks ago at 15w pregnant and we finally got the results back, but it’s No Result for anything…. She’s 17 weeks tomorrow.

We are freaking out. It’s been two weeks since we heard the heartbeat too (heard on same day of blood draw) but as first time parents has this happened to anyone?

What’s up everyone. My wife and I (29 and 30, same sex couple) are currently living about 40 minutes north of Tampa in Pasco County. We are expecting our first baby this winter. I’m from New York originally and my wife was born and raised here.

We moved here last year to be near family and friends, but we are not happy here. We are not typically people that feel uncomfortable or unsafe in public areas and never ever want to be those people that make a big deal out of it, but we have recently been feeling really uneasy in our town and neighboring towns. We are honestly worried for the future for our family.

We are wondering if anyone can point us in the direction of any counties/areas in Florida that are more accepting of our family but also have very very good school districts? School districts and opportunities for our kids is extremely important. I know that’s asking a lot in FL, lol, but my wife hates the cold weather and with all of our family and friends here, as well as a family business, we’d like to stay in FL if possible. I’m a veteran and the benefits in FL are favorable for us as well. Thanks and please no judgement.

Hey all. Went on a long weekend trip for July 4th weekend. My wife booked the hotel for my birthday via booking.com. We had it booked for 2 nights. After the first night there we realized it was not clean/safe for my wife who is pregnant. The hotel was very accommodating and told us they would refund the unused night and half of the first. Because we booked through a booking.com third party, booking said they had to reach out to their “partner offer support team” to get our refund. That was 3 weeks ago. No one is helpful with customer service and we have been sent to quite literally a million people across so many companies and all fingers keep pointing at booking.com. Is there anyone on here that can help us? I’m absolutely livid.

Hi all! Customer here. Bought a vacuum yesterday for $299.99 and earned $70 kohls cash. Also bought other things. Is it possible to return the vacuum today and then buy it again for $229.99 using my kohls cash? If not, can someone explain why and what would happen? thanks

Hi everyone. Researching baby monitors for our first baby and we’ve decided we want one that has both a WiFi and no-WiFi option for when we have someone else watching baby. Super important to us is the ability to turn WiFi off completely when we are home. I have a couple I keep coming back to, but based on people’s comments online the Eufy E21 is great, it’s just super expensive. Can anyone give me pros and cons of the following, and then maybe even add any I’m missing? I will keep the eufy on there if it’s truly the best, but just wanting others opinions.

- Eufy E21
- Momcozy Smart Wifi monitor BM04
- vtech (not sure which one, I saw like 10 on their site)

Thanks!

Hi all. My wife is due January 2027 with our first baby. We have already picked out the infant seat we want but I’ve seen through other posts people mentioning getting the convertible car seat early. Nordstrom is having their anniversary sale next week and two of the seats we have our eyes on (Nuna revv maxx and cybex Cybex Callisto G) are going on sale. Is it absolutely crazy to buy a convertible seat 5 months before the baby is even born? Lol. We wouldn’t be able to buy them at their regular prices. Thank you!

Hi everyone. Building our registry for our January 2027 baby. I know we are early but I'm deep in research, and today I'm looking at diapers. I have been reading guides and blogs about what is recommended/sponsored, but looking for real experience on if the expensive luxury brands are worth it? I know tried and true brands like pampers and huggies have been around forever for a reason, but the newer "cleaner/organic" brands like Millie Moon, Honest, and Coterie are also popping up a lot. What does everyone think is best? Obviously want the best for baby, but would love to hear experience.

Side note, I know we may have to try a bunch out and see what work best for our kid specifically, but this is more or a generic vs luxury ask. Thanks!

Hi all. Wondering if anyone knows of any car seats that are detachable from their base to go to multiple cars? We are trying to avoid buying multiple seats because they are so pricey! Infant seats are so much easier 😂

Hi all. FTM shopping for infant car seats for baby due this winter. I have my stroller choices narrowed down and will be going with either an Uppababy, Silver Cross, or Nuna, but now I have shifted to car seats. Was looking at the Uppababys or Nunas to complete a travel system, but I have been seeing a lot online about their chin-to-chest complaints on their infant seats causing serious harm, even in this sub!! Obviously, I know every product out there has good and bad reviews, but wanted to know anyone's personal experience with the chin-to-chest on infant seats and if you recommend one over others?

I'm open to any suggestions - Cybex, Joie, Graco, Clek, Maxi-cosi, evenflo, chicco, etc... thanks!!!

Hi all. We are expecting our first baby this winter. We’re both 5’3/5’4 women and don’t want to be lifting super heavy into our trunks, but want it to last. We’ve narrowed down to:
- Silver Cross Breez
- Silver Cross Cove 2
- Uppababy Kona (not out yet)
- Uppababy Cruz
- Nuna Swiv
- Nuna Triv LX

The Breez and Kona are top 2 if we had to pick, but I know Kona won’t be out for a few more months. Anyone have experience with these, bad or good?! Thank you!

Hey all. First baby coming and we are deep in the stroller/travel system research. I come from a larger family, and I remember how much we used the stroller storage pocket at the bottom, so that’s something I’m paying attention to. When looking at some of the big names like the Joie Ginger, Nuna triv and mixx, I saw their basket capacities are only 10 pounds... Is this actually as low as it seems?

I feel like you can probably only throw a heavy diaper bag in there before it starts dragging on the ground or something hahaha

Hey everyone. I’m a 29 year old woman. 5’3 and 205 pounds was my starting weight. Little bit of my situation….. I took my first Zepbound shot (2.5mg) on 2/28/26. Took that dose for 4 weeks total and then moved onto the 5mg as instructed. Started the glp1 journey knowing I wouldn’t want to go past 5mg anyway, so I stuck to that dose. After my 8th shot, I got diagnosed with cellulitis in my thigh from injection. I took one more after that in early May and had a small injection site reaction. I haven’t taken a shot since and it’s been 30 days. I am getting ready to get back on the glp1 but I want to know how microdosing works and if it’s for me.

I was slow to get weight loss started with my first attempt, and only lost about 7 pounds in the 2 1/2 months of shots. My goal weight is 165, so I don’t have a long way to go. Thanks.

Hi all. My wife is 6w today and had her first ultrasound yesterday morning at 5w6d. Everything looked good, no fetal pole yet. Flash forward to the afternoon she became dizzy and lightheaded. Brought her to ER and they gave her a bag of fluid. When we were about to be discharged she stood up and immediately started bleeding. Ran to bathroom and found clots similar to period. They did a repeat transvaginal u/s post bleed and the sac is still in tact and pelvis was closed, sac just shifted down in uterus (probably due to pressure).
She’s been having slight drops of blood when using restroom this morning but thats it. Our clinic said rest and we will have to come in to check on everything next week. Thinking it is a Subchorionic Hematoma. We are also so scared it could be a blighted ovum (empty sac). Anyone have success stories with this, this early on in pregnancy? Thank you so much.

Hi all. IVF patients here. My wife is 6w today and had her first ultrasound yesterday at 5w6d in the morning. Clinic said all was tracking and we could see gestational sac with yolk sac in uterus but no fetal pole yet as it’s still early. Flash forward to the afternoon she started having dizziness and lightheadedness. Brought her to ER and they gave her a bag of fluid. When we were about to be discharged she stood up and immediately started bleeding. Ran to bathroom and found clots similar to period. They did a repeat transvaginal u/s post bleeding and apparently the sac is still in tact and pelvis was closed, sac just shifted down in uterus (probably due to pressure). We cannot see fetal pole still obviously. She’s been having slight drops of blood when using restroom this morning but thats it. Our clinic said rest and we will have to come in to check on everything in a few days. Clinic is thinking it was a Subchorionic Hematoma. We are also so scared it could be a blighted ovum (empty sac). Anyone have experience with this, this early on in pregnancy? Thank you so much.
