My Reddit group also has a Facebook group, but neither one is very active. By far the most reasonable though (usually. Reddit can be crazy too!) They are great entertainment! I see a few posts in those groups and laugh, and then again in /r/shitmomgroupssay. Like the mom who was pissed because the ice cream truck wou...

Yes! I’m due 3 weeks after my 35th birthday. My OB told me I’m basically in a great spot because my risks aren’t actually any higher, but I will still get all the extra scans and insurance coverage. One of my best friends is due the day after her 35th birthday and is in the same position. I consider it a total win.

I work in a genetics lab. As we grow older, the risk of genetic diseases increases. The non invasive screening tests are better now than a few years ago, but they are not diagnostic. So older mothers, more than 35, get an invasive test with risk of pregnancy loss of about 0,5-1% and younger mothers get a screening test...

Thanks! Sorry, do you mean 12-18 months between births or getting pregnant?
7,311,605
mommit
Thanks so much for your reply! 6 months is awesome - everything I’ve read seems to say 18-24 months, like the commenter above said, or 12 minimum (which my OB recommended, despite my advancing years). I would love to start trying around 10 months pp or so; my delivery was straightforward but I had quite bad pelvic gird...

Me, too. I was 35.

7,311,609

Not necessarily. Our doctors used non invasive screening tests together with the 20 week scan to determine risk, and could recommend a diagnostic test based on results. I only had screening tests, and had the same tests on both sides of 35 (although I had to initially pay for my first). Both of my pregnancies were la...
7,311,610
mommit
Wait are you saying that you work somewhere that still in 2022 gives routine amnios for 35+?? Where? I've never had a single friend on either side of 35 have amniocentesis without a specific reason.
7,311,611
mommit
If you're talking about an amniosynthesis, it's not really done more in women 35+ if age is the only factor of risk, at least not here. 30 and 36 with singletons and 38 with twins, high risk all three times, only had non invasive testing (blood work and very regular US). My specialized OB said they had very strict guid...

Younger moms in many places can get the same screening tests, there is just a coat that many insurers cover.

Between pregnancies….between getting pregnant
7,311,614
mommit
Nope, I was actually surprised at how chill both doctors were about it (I guess thats a good thing?). I stayed in pretty good shape throughout my first pregnancy, lost just about all of the baby weight and hope to do the same if I am lucky enough to get pregnant again. I did recently stop breastfeeding though as I cann...
7,311,615

Same! Pregnant at 34, birthed two weeks after my 35th birthday and all over every piece of paperwork or correspondence from my OB was “AMA, AMA, AMA”
7,311,616
mommit
Lol me too at 33
7,311,617
mommit
Mine were born at 34 and 36 but I wasn’t AMA until 36 here. What was the cutoff for where you are?
7,311,618
mommit
That's what we did. I was 36 when I got pregnant and turned 37 a few days later. We opted to do the screening test and determined we didn't need to do the diagnostic. My son was born with a post-urethral valve but I don't think that's the kind of thing a test would pick up! We didn't know about it until my last scan at...

Thanks!

Omg at first I read that as “against medical advice.” Advanced maternal age is such an annoying term.
7,311,622
mommit
So humbling! As if pregnancy isn't bad enough on its own.
7,311,623
mommit
I'm in Canada, I think it's 35? I was turning 35 a few months after my son was born so I was like, shhhhhh, I made the cutoff!
7,311,624
mommit
I admit I stalked your posts a bit before responding and am so happy to read that your son seems to be doing well! I never had to deal with NICU or surgery. It must have been such a scary time!

My favorite part of the day when my little one decides to relax on my chest. They are the sweetest.

I miss when my son was that little and was my cuddle buddy he's two now and can't be bothered for cuddles, he's got too many toddler adventures to have.

Beautiful photo, beautiful family. Thanks for sharing :)
7,311,628

Wonderful photo. I definitely feel you on this. Mine is 7 months old & asleep on my chest right now. Such a beautiful, precious thing to share. Thank you :-)

Beautiful photograph! Isn't it the best when they sleep on you and then wake up, looks up and sees your face while giving the goofiest gummy smile?

Aww, my son is two and loves to cuddle with me and only me. My firstborn wasn’t like this so I’m enjoy it.

My son is 20 months and LOVES smoothies. I could probably blend up an onion and mushroom with some almond milk and he’d be happy. Bonus cuteness is he calls them “poopies.” So I get to hear “more poopy!” as soon as it’s gone
7,311,664

Eating soup with a straw is a another surprising one. Be aware of messes but still a fun trick.
7,311,665
mommit
My LO used to get so messy with yogurt I decided to start buying that drinkable yogurt for kids. I saw how expensive it was for such tiny bottles so we make our own. It's just milk and yogurt. She loves it! Her Ped thought it was weird tho..

I have a kid with autism and the best thing I ever did was start him on green smoothies his first year. He’s now 5 and stopped eating all vegetables at around 2 years old, but he still loves green smoothies, so that’s how he gets all of his veggies now.
7,311,667
mommit
Yes! My 1 year old had broccoli and pineapple for a snack yesterday! Put it in a reusable squeeze pouch and it’s mess free!

My kid won’t drink smoothies.

Mine won’t touch a smoothie with a 10 foot pole. She also doesn’t like mashed potatoes or pasta. But she likes plain apples. IDK whose daughter she is.

My 2 year old will eat yogurt no problem, but every time I try to give her a smoothie she gags like I tried to feed her cat poop.
7,311,674

Way to go mom!!

Make sure you’re also still giving the foods in their regular forms, so they get that exposure!

What kind of cup do you use?

Throw in a handful of spinach. It won’t effect the flavor and will add some greens!

One time my son was refusing to eat all day. So I threw his chicken into a fruit smoothie out of desperation and he drank it all lol. It seemed disgusting but whatever
7,311,681
mommit
Ugh. You are lucky. Mine is simply not having smoothies in any style or in any type of cup or packet or bowl.
7,311,682

This is what s we do too!!!!!
7,311,683

Silly question: do you just use your blender? Also, my kids are on an activia smoothie kick right now but it’s becoming the majority of their diet. Any suggested blends that incorporate veggies?
7,311,684
mommit
Lmao, yes!! My 6 year old is obsessed with the IDEA of milkshakes eventhough she never really finishes one. But I will say "milkshake tiiiiiime' and do that cheesy airhorn noise with my mouth, and she goes NUTS. Usually I add all.the healthy stuff first so she doesnt notice and then throw in the banana and cocoa powder...
7,311,685
mommit
This may be a dumb question, but: Do you put smoothies in a sippy cup?
7,311,686
mommit
Mine is still very young (10 months) so my trick is trying to sneak in a few tablespoons into her mouth while she's playing in the bath. Don't judge! She's way more relaxed and calmer there than on her high chair, and has more appetite that way :)
7,311,687
mommit
I just did this (before reading your post) and it still didn’t work. My LO eats so well with other people but not with me! So frustrating sometimes. I made us both a smoothie. Apple, grapes, strawberries, yogurt and a bit of oats.
7,311,688
mommit
oh that is such a good idea! Stealing that
7,311,689

What cup are you using? I don’t have a smoothie cup and have been wondering if the take and toss cups would work with smoothies.

Probably, my kid will eat any combination of food with petit filous yogurt on top. It’s rank but at least he’s eating

Wow that's strange. The only way I can eat yogurt is if it's in a drinkable form or I gag.

Oh she definitely eats regular food. This is just in a pinch when she is refusing lunch/breakfast. Dinner is always a good hearty meal. She's been an amazing eater since 6months now at almost 16 months she is just starting to get fussy, more with lunch than anything else.
